I don't need another friend. I already have two.

The Sleepover meme

You all know how it goes. Maybe its a group of teenage friends at someone's house, maybe its adult strangers snowed in at the airport, maybe its a camping trip of kids but for some reason, you're all going to end up spending the night together. Sleep is for the weak and distractions are needed. Will lifelong friendships be forged and broken or will everyone just end up covered in silly string and hungover? Your choice will decide your fate. Better grab your overnight duffle, your favorite pillow, some people to hang out with and choose wisely.

options:

1. Games. Truth or Dare, Spin the Bottle, Settlers of Catan or a vicious game of Uno. Ice breakers, social stand-ins, conversation starters: these are the games we play that bind us together against a common enemy or tear us apart. Is it fair play or can there be only one? Find out who your friends are and keep them close. Nations have gone to war for less than this.

2. Pranks. Get enough people together in a group, add alcohol, or just insane levels of tiredness, and it's bound to happen. Maybe you were dared to or maybe you just got stuck with the phone when it was already ringing but its time to break out the TP and find a house with trees in front or figure out if your neighbor's refrigerator is running. Can things go wrong? Oh yes. Oh yes, very. Hope you wore your running sneakers when Old Man Griminch catches you with those eggs.

3. Scary times. Because really, what's a sleep-over without some fear? Whether its a horror movie in a room with no lights, Bloody Mary dares at midnight or campfire stories about true events that happened on a night just like tonight, a night together with friends doesn't end right if no one's screaming or in tears. Grab those batman snuggies, its time to get creepy.

4. Food! No party is a party without food. Maybe its making chocolate chip cookies at midnight, maybe its a food run, maybe its marshmallows over that aforementioned campfire. Whatever it is, its time to break out the grub and play fluffy bunnies until someone pukes.

5. Make-over! Break out the glitter nail polish and hot irons. This old sleep-over staple is sure to create bonding moments and only mild scarring. Learn to braid hair, learn to apply eyeliner, learn which of your friends has the fashion sense of a 1930s clown. Did someone fall asleep before the rest of the group? Well, that's what sharpie pens, shaving cream and firehouse red lipstick was invented for. The 80s are calling and they're not taking no for an answer.

6. Snuggle pile! That's right. After a hard night of pixy stix and jello twister it was only a matter of time before everyone ended up crashing. Hard. Whether you wind up in a puppy pile or just using a stranger's shoulder for a pillow, at some point one of you is going to wake up enough to steal a blanket.

7. Soul searching. It's five in the morning and everyone else has gone to sleep. Now's the time for deep thoughts, deep conversations and utterly life altering questions. Like 'do seagulls ever get sad?' and 'why are they called 'styrofoam peanuts' if you can't eat them?'. Someone's got the answers. You might have to wake them up to get them but its now or never. Universal truths aren't going to wait for reasonable hours.

8. Grab bag! you do what you want!

you know the routine. Put your character, series and any prefs in the header. Tag around. Have fun. And don't fall asleep first whatever you do.

[Sana's eyeing the phone book hesitantly. She gulps and takes it, starting to flip through.]

You just watch, I'm the best at prank calls that there ever was! ...I just. Need to pick somebody out of this phone book to call! That's all. Yeah.

[aw yiss. Come at him! cross-canon/medium welcome as well as canon crew. He is the fluffy bunny king! ~~just don't trust him with s'mores. He'll set those on fire~~]

[It's a strange alien planet of lush blue grass and sweet pastries and kind aliens. Another victory for Voltron destroys six large Galra ships from the planet's land, and the people of the capital took it upon themselves to thank them all with days of celebration and rest. They had their own team of mechanics and assistants working throughout the day to restore the damages, and at night, as the planet managed to throw a giant feast and celebration. Many of the civilians were continuing their celebration, but half of the paladins had turned in.

Well. Sort of. It was still early, so 'turned in' just meant 'not at the party' for some of them. Lance just switched to the new soft pajamas they'd given them all, and grabbed new products from the special alien beauty stash before tiptoeing off to find Shiro. In the end, Shiro was just the best candidate for this. After all, Hunk was busy with Pidge snooping in the technology quarters (boring), and Keith had found a friend to spar with (snoooooore), and Allura was off doing diplomat-y things. Which left only Shiro. Technically Coran too, but... no. Guy was off telling olden day stories with the other older guys on that planet, and Lance was noooot going to get in the middle of that.

Lance heads up to his door, a small box of items and a bag of chips that tasted like lays in one arm, a pillow in the other. It's ambush time.]

Hey, Shiro! Are you busy?
