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.

well, a Thing. A Thing that was a part of him before the UG, and something that never left him even after the UG changed him. And yeah. Something's up. He's heard rumblings, of course. Snippets here and there. Udagawa, oddly. Something new happening, and...
It's not exactly good. So, loathe as he is to actually go to the RG, it's probably for the best he's there. Hopefully, as a deterrent. At worst, to avert it.
So. Here he is. Neku doesn't expect him, of course. Nor does his family. Knocking on his family's apartment door in the early evening, of course, earns him some surprise from both the mother- yes, he's met her before, and the father- a salaryman with a thousand yard stare that amusingly- is Neku's own. Perhaps 30 years on.
They're easily dispatched.
It's easy to manipulate them. He says something about some weekend getaway at some beach coming up soon- oh- actually wasn't it this weekend?, and the both of them immediately move, without packing a bag, without saying goodbye to their son, without... well, anything. He's even got to remind them to collect coats and their car keys.
It's mind control. Something actually quite taxing, given that this is the RG and he's weak here- but not something a nap can't correct. And. Once they're gone, he makes his way inside. He removes his shoes, of course- (a lesson learned after last time?) and pads along to where he knows Neku's room is.
If he could be doing something embarrassing, that would be almost worth all of this effort.
Regardless. He enters, unceremoniously flopping onto Neku's bed. As if he owns the place, of course.]
Howdy.
