RINGS THE BELL probably late day 46/day 47

[fujimaru]

[ She's never done this before, time to see how this works. ]

[survivaltricks]

[HELLO, THERE IS AN ECHIDNA HERE!! he is dressed as a bellboy (in Velvet Room blue) and gives her a wave]

Oh.

Hi. First time?

[fujimaru]

...

[ She slowly lifts her phone without breaking eye contact and snaps a photo of him. ]

Yes.

[survivaltricks]

[GIVES A THUMBS UP FOR THE PHOTO, his expression even]

[fujimaru]

[ He gets a THUMBS UP in return before she puts the phone away again and clears her throat, affecting her most serious expression. ]

Akira-kun, listen. I was going to do this with that suggestion box, but I might be sabotaged before I can use it. You've gotta help me.

[survivaltricks]

[oh. this sounds devious?? he's already into it]

If a conspiracy is what you're aiming for, I'm your guy.

What's our crime?

[Akira. . .]

[fujimaru]

For my first time, I need you to hook me up with some balls.










Like maybe a thousand of them.








The plastic colorful kind, like they put in kid's ball pits.

[survivaltricks]

[opens mouth]

[closes mouth]

I could get you, like. . . ten, maybe?

[fujimaru]

Could they at least be big?

I need to fill a pit.

[survivaltricks]

[HAND OVER HIS HEART]

I'll do my best.

. . . do you need tokens for extra box requests?

[fujimaru]

If I can get them from the box, yes? But I've gotta do it before Saturn gets to it.

[survivaltricks]

[omg]

I'm not sure I understand the conflict here, but I'm intrigued.

[fujimaru]

For some reason, he doesn't like the idea of making that pit in the middle of our dorm into a ball pit.

Like, to the point where he threatened to ask the box to not let me ask for things for like a week? So I've gotta cut him off first.

[survivaltricks]

[. . . omg!!]

[CLASPS HIS HANDS ON HER SHOULDER]

If we hurry, I bet we can beat him to it right now.

For the sake of the ball pit.

[fujimaru]

You're the best!

[ SPARKLE SPARKLE SPARKLE SPARKLE ]

[survivaltricks]

No.

[squeezes her shoulders, expression DEAD SERIOUS]

I'm just a ball pit advocate.

Destroy all ball pit opponents. They know not what joy they fight against.

[fujimaru]

He tried to say it was--[ she pitches her voice into a snooty tone, because frankly she can't go much deeper than her standard voice ]--"ridiculous." Like it was going to ruin the decor or something. We're practically designed like a fancy dungeon, is a ball pit really going to make it worse?

[survivaltricks]

Maybe he's just mad that the cuddle pit will no longer be fit for cuddling.

Joke's on him: you can cuddle in a ball pit, too.

[TO THE SUGGESTION BOX]

[fujimaru]

I dunno, he seems to not have any problems with anything like that.

[ She may have a certain opinion of Saturn at this point, sorry Saturn. ]

But yeah, let's see how many we can coax out of the box. If I can fill the whole pit, I'll be ecstatic.

[survivaltricks]

[Akira shares the opinion, don't worry]

Surely the box will understand that we're doing Cerberus great justice in making this request, right?

[fujimaru]

It's enrichment! That's good for everyone.

[ Never mind how promiscuous your teammates are, this is definitely important. There's a definite little skip in her step. ]

And also, I want to do my best to get video of his face in particular when he sees it.

[survivaltricks]

I can help with that. We'll pick out the perfect angle, and I'll lead him in so you can be ready.

[THIS IS A WHOLE THING NOW]

[fujimaru]

Ehhh, you're gonna be my co-conspirator that far? I knew I liked you.

[survivaltricks]

I like to do crimes. That's all there is to it.

[IT'S NOT A LIE. . .?]

[fujimaru]

It's not a crime! It's--

[ How would crime dad put it... ]

...a forcible introduction to avant garde elements in your home decor.
