Who: Everyone!
What: POOL PARTY
Where: The pool of course
When: Early July
Warnings: There may or may not be bikini hijinks idk

Rene had spent all that time cleaning the pool up, and the weather was so HOT, she felt like it was high time to invite everyone around to have a good time.

While doing everyone's laundry she had gathered a fair idea of who had what clothes, so she had made bathing suits for the people she figured didn't have any. That way everyone could participate!

She smiled as she relaxed at the pool's edge. The invitation had gone out to everybody, but even if nobody came, swimming was always fun.

Who: Cyrus and YOU!

What: Study!

Where: what passes for a library

When: Mid-June

Cyrus's efforts to salvage the library from the old school hadn't been completely in vain. Some books had somehow appeared in their new location, and that had been a small comfort to him. Their knowledge could continue.

But preservation of knowledge was nothing without education, and Cyrus knew just how to draw attention to it.

His reputation was one of strictness, of rigidity, of being unbending no matter the circumstance. So he would draw on the theory that self-direction led to greater advancement. It was a foolish theory to apply en masse, that much he knew for sure, but if it could change what others thought of him and thus permit him to influence them to his side, he would bear it for the time being.

So he advertised the event in advance and set up tables with writing implements and paper, and waited for people to arrive.

Who: YOU ..and probably your friends because it's more fun to play with friends.
What: "Memory bubbles" have been sprouting up everywhere. You may or may not be experiencing reliving a particularly emotional moment in your life right before your eyes. Or maybe someone else's...
Where: All around the island.
When: Now?
Warnings: W for WTF

So this was new: every now and then, here and there, brief moments in people's lives have magically appeared as a sort of misty projection and then disappeared like a puff of smoke; as if someone was showing you movie clips of memories from your and your friends' lives. Why or how this was happening is anybody's guess.

Some people have stumbled upon playback of a particularly rough memory from their childhood right before their eyes. They always seem to be memories of great emotional importance, too, which in some circumstances could be really embarrassing depending on who was around. A scolding from a parent. A love confession gone wrong. A first kiss. Hope your current crush isn't around to see those.

Memories from the mansion seem to be the most common, but some from childhood homes and even Smash Academy pop up here and there. Even forgotten ones weren't immune to the phenomenon.

What events do you experience, and how do you react?

garmentgoddess

When: Dec 31st
Where: Commons
What: PARTY
Who: EVERYONE IS INVITED

Rene hung the last of the party decorations over the door and quickly put the ladder away. The tables were set with various edibles, the curtains were crisp and ironed, the paper decorations were festive and cute, and the year was about to change.

2017 though? What a strange number. She wondered what their calendar was based on. No matter, a celebration was always a good time.

planking

Who: Mom and Dad and YOU!
What: Raking leaves, enjoying apple cider and pumpkin pie, and other fall things!
Where: The grounds, and the kitchen
When: RIGHT NOW
Warnings: LEAVES

Time passes, seasons change, and before you know it, the entire island is covered in leaves.

( Don't eat the leaves )

Who: YOU AND YOU AND YOU AND YOU AND YOU...
What: Did you know it's getting hot out, and the mansion has a pool? GET ON IN THERE.
Where: THE POOL
When: WEDNESDAY TO SUNDAY
Warnings: S for SWIMWEAR

Well, summer was approaching. The days were getting much warmer. And there was a surefire way to beat the heat just outside the mansion. Whoever lived there previously clearly enjoyed swimming, because next to the hedge maze and surrounded by a wall was a very large, very ornate pool. And after the TLC the cleaning crew had given it, it was ready to accept swimmers. There were floating mats, lounge chairs, and a small assortment of water toys for those who wanted to mess around. There was even swimwear available! Conveniently, in a locker by the pool, there was a swimsuit for everyone, just your size! That was weird, wasn't it...?

Well, time to get some chill. Into the water!

chaoticninjitsu

Who: Anybody bold enough to jump through a mysterious warp ring.
What: A giant carnival zone!
Where: In a pocket dimension, nearby island, or just AU, depending on how serious you want to take it.
When: Now?
Warnings: F for FUN!

Without notice or explanation, a giant, spinning gold ring had appeared at the edge of the island. Through the center one could see what looked like roller coasters, carnival games, and lots of balloons, among many other things. Timing a jump through the ring was tricky, but doable.

A mysterious spacial distortion obscured the area beyond the carnival. Anyone hoping to escape the mansion entirely would find it was hopeless through this warp ring. However, the entertainment value probably seemed tempting to anyone growing restless with nowhere to go. Why not grab a buddy and have some fun?

[[Sorry if this isn't allowed. Let me know if this is beyond the boundaries of where the game wants to go from here on out.]]

garmentgoddess

Who: Rene and whoever
What: Morale building by which I mean CAPTURE THE FLAG
Where: Around the grounds
When: Monday all day

Two big flags had been put up in front of the school, made of cloth and long, sturdy sticks. The red one smelled faintly of beets, while the orange one smelled like oranges, indicating what they had been dyed with.

On Monday morning, Rene was out standing between them, waiting for people who hopefully had seen the posters she had put around the building.

Once a few people had arrived, she spoke loudly. "Hi! Today we're going to be playing a game. Games inspire teamwork and build morale, and everyone could use both of those! We're going to split into equal teams, hopefully with a mix of dorms, and play Capture the Flag! Does everyone know how to play?"

She continued anyway just in case anyone didn't. "The objective is to track down the opposing team's flag and bring it back here. If you get tagged, you're out! That means you come back here to wait. But we'll have snacks and we can mingle, so it's not all bad. A runner from each team will get a head start to hide the flag anywhere within the established area." She pointed to a map, made in part with her and Shantae's efforts. "The beach is ok but the water is off limits. No hiding the flag up trees, inside the building, or under anything. It has to be visible from at least fifteen meters away. After fifteen minutes of hiding time, the rest of the team starts off trying to find it. As you can see, I've marked the territory of both sides. It's mostly forest but I've included the hedge maze going through both territories."

She gestured to the general area. "If you're in the opposing team's territory, you can get tagged. If you're tagged, as I said, you come back here. If you had the flag when you're tagged, you plant it in that spot, where it remains until the next person grabs it. The game continues until either a flag is returned here or until it gets too dark to see. Either way we'll have an after party!"

With a smile, she brought her feet together with a snap and saluted. "Now! Make your teams! Try to meet new people!"

Who: EVERYONE
What: CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL
Where: Outside on the mansion grounds where there are cherry blossoms that have magically not finished blooming yet this late into April
When: RIGHT NOW???
Warnings: Rated S for SHOJO

Stadiums and tournaments and rankings were all well and good, but they were lacking things that Flurrie felt were far too important to go ignored. Style! Beauty! Grace! Culture! This place needed more of it. Fortunately, with spring in full force, she had a fantastic idea to bring everyone together to celebrate just those things!

And so, a message appears on the bulletin board:

Underneath it was more information, including dates and a request to contact her if the reader were interested in hosting a booth at the festival.

When the day arrived for the festivities, the mansion's inhabitants will find a lovely grove of cherry blossoms decorated with streamers, flower arrangements, and numerous booths waiting for them. Where did Flurrie get all this? It is a mystery.

((OOC: Open mingle log! The booths can be absolutely anything you want- food, games, stuff for sale, magic tricks, etc, and your character is free to host one if they would be so inclined. It's not as big as past festivals obviously, but Flurrie tried.))

tank_rockarms

Who: Your characters, my characters, everyone's characters who cares to join.
What: Rainy Day Moments
Where: Inside where it's no fun.
When: During one or another of the aforementioned April Showers.
Warnings: Mostly Nonsense

With all of this rain, it's likely that people will be stuck inside. When people are stuck inside, they mope about, looking for things to do.

Thankfully, I am here for you. I have a fine collection of men here for you. Here are some things that these fine, upstanding young men might be doing on a rainy afternoon or morning or evening or week.

( Some things. )

magicdancer

Who: Shantae, Anyone Else
What: Let's dance our cares away! Dance party!
Where: The Brawler common area
When: Wednesday night
Warnings: F for FUNKY MUSIC

drawin_on_trees

Who: You and a lot of FUN GUYS. Fungi. Get it?
What: April fools!!
Where: All throughout the mansion
When: April 1
Warnings: Shrooms.

Good morning, mansion inhabitants. Today is a very special day, but you may not realize it at first, because everything looks exactly the same as it did yesterday.

Until...

Until you open your closet door. Or go to the bathroom. Or look in the cabinets in the kitchen. Because hiding, just out of sight... are the shrooms. Some of them are a bright, happy shade of red. Some of them have angry eyebrows. All of them are bad news. Touch a red one and you're suddenly twice as tall as you were a second ago- hope you're in a room with a high ceiling! Touch a purple one and the world just got bigger- a LOT bigger. Don't get stepped on!

And just because you see it first doesn't mean you're safe. Despite being inanimate objects, they can move. In fact, they're sliding slowly towards you!

Who could have loosed these silent terrors upon the mansion? You may wonder... just as a telltale mischievous giggle can be heard down the hall. Who, indeed...

((OOC: HERE IS HOW THIS WORKS:
1. Your character may or may not encounter a super or poison mushroom. This is ENTIRELY OPTIONAL!
2. Super mushrooms make you grow tall and make your voice sound pitched very low. You're extremely heavy and much stronger than before.
3. Poison mushrooms are the opposite. You shrink, you sound like you inhaled helium and you are very, very light and easily squished.
4. The effects can last as long as you wish! A few minutes, an hour, the entire day, etc, etc. You can even have your dude run into a poison mushroom in the morning, go back to normal, and then accidentally grab a super mushroom!
5. The mushrooms will disappear and all ill effects will wear off at midnight.
6. HAVE FUN))

flamejock

Who: Jock, Jock's Socks, Jock's Jorts, Jock's Clocks, Jock's Crocks, Jock's Frocks, and Jock's Locks. And you.
What: Jock has found many things through the use of his very good nose. He shares them with you.
Where: Just outside the main entrance to Le Maison de Smash.
When: Noon to Four pm, Monday through Friday afternoon of this week (yes, this one; March 21-25)
Warnings: Jorts. Too many rhymes.

Jock had spent a large portion of the last month in being very helpful. Extremely helpful. He had gone to great lengths to uncover vast treasures of supplies for everyone. Aside from the occasional hunting foray -- really, he had the benefit of pre-cooking dinner, such a good helper was he -- he also used his exceptional smelling agent to track down boxes of supplies hidden about the mansion. And, having found them, and stockpiled them for several weeks, has decided that it is time to give them away to any who may need them.

Jock has, for any interested parties, boxes of: Socks (in men's and women's fashions), Jorts (all sizes, all cuts), Clocks (mostly character themed), Crocks (stoneware, not the shoes or swimmable lizards), Frocks (assorted, suitable for women of any age), and Locks (pad- and combination- both).

He has a sign up that reads: "FREE STUFF JUST TALK WITH ME TO GET SOME FREE STUFF -- IF YOU HAVE BALLS TO TRADE IN YOU CAN GET EXTRA FREE STUFF."

He's wearing a pair of the jorts, so you know that he believes deeply in his free stuff.

rivalsolarbeam

Who: Bulba! Maybe you!
What: GARDENING
Where: OUTSIDE
When: A few weeks in March

It was good that the weather was getting warmer. Good that the sun was shining brighter. It made it easier for the grass type to think and have the energy to pull enough on his plate so that he didn't have to think. There were more things there in front of him to concern himself with than those that had left or those that were simply... Lost on their way there.

Bulba wasn't accepting any other explanation for it, and the cherry blossoms weren't letting him think anything else.

Which meant he didn't have reason to mope about it. He certainly didn't have any time to mope about it either. There were things he could be doing, things that his borrowed hands were meant to be doing. So over the course of a few days (weeks?) he'd started doing just that.

On some days it was easy to find the boy in and around the gardens. They were overrun, but he could see their potential to be more than they were. It'd just take some work to re-work the land, shape it to what he could see. He'd be out there under the sunshine, soaking up the rays with his back as he worked the soil and mapped out the plots in his head.

Other days you could find him and his broad golden flower taking strides through the surrounding areas of the mansion, some found baskets cradled on his back in his vines. If he was going to try and build a sustainable garden, he was going to need something to put in it. Even if the trees were strange and the terrain was new, the forest would provide if he put a little trust in it. It was just a matter of going out to look.

It was all a matter of distractions, but they weren't ones that had to be alone. Bulba was certainly glad to have some company with those that wanted his.

crystal_ballin

Who: Hagakure and maybe you, dear reader
What: Hagakure is carefully placing rocks in patterns outside (and inside???) the mansion
Where: All over the grounds
When: Here and Now - 3/18 - 3/25
Warnings: Hagakure being Hagakure.

Recognizing the fickle nature of the new reality that he had been vaulted into, Hagakure has spent a great amount of effort and time over the last week in collecting particularly auspicious rocks, and he is, at this very moment, placing them in key locations all over the school grounds, so as to better anchor this reality and prevent it from slipping off into another dimension.

He's clearly struggling, in trying to move this 30-pound rock (he doesn't work out very much, okay, it's heavy, stop giving him such a hard time, dude) carefully into place over there in that spot that's in the middle of something inconvenient where you were trying to do a thing.

Is there. Is there now a smallish rock in the middle of the kitchen, with a note on it that says "Load-bearing rock, do not move"?

He's probably not crazy enough to actually be gluing rocks... no, no, he's definitely crazy enough to be gluing a rock there. In the shower.

sexyspybat

Who: Rouge the Bat and Blaze the Cat (and maybe other peeps who see her around)
What: Rouge needs someone to talk to after Knux left. She's feeling a bit down.
Where: Out on the grounds.
When: March 17th, 10pm
Warnings: Rouge can be a bitch, but nothing tragic.

Rouge stood cross-armed on the edge of the island, staring out into the dark, smokey void in front of her. Knuckles had been gone for a while now and she'd finally stopped loathing him to her very core. She'd pleaded with him to stay, but still he left. Just up and took off without even blinking*. She might have followed him if she wasn't so proud. That, and she wanted him to stay for her.

So, she was mad. She was mad and lonely. He was the closest thing she had to a friend here in this dump of a mansion.

As much as she doesn't think she needs one, she could probably use a pep talk.

*Facts may or may not be skewed from the point of view of a very scorned and bitter bat.

garmentgoddess

Who: Rene, whoever else
What: More domestic stuff! Laundry this time!
Where: Around the houses
When: This week

While Rene preferred the ease of a proper beater, a stick would do to beat the laundry. And detergent and soap made the job so much easier.

But either way! The garment goddess was back! There was no reason to keep it secret now--her reputation here was "friendly" rather than "tomboy", so she openly posted for people to put their laundry outside their rooms.

However, help was always wanted. If you want to join in, she's down by the river and she's already strung up several drying lines (oh my are those your delicates pinned up for all to see?). Between loads she's practicing with a soccer ball if you'd like to kick the ball around.

will_be_god

Who: Cyrus, whoever
What: Who wants to LEARN? Or sort things by number category, whichever
Where: What passes for a library
When: The 21st

Cyrus had been strangely absent from most of the events recently. Maybe some people had seen him, wandering aimlessly around. Maybe near that strange spacecraft that had slammed into the forest. Maybe drifting through the hedge maze. Maybe staring out over the lake. Or maybe just sitting in a corner somewhere.

This new world was close in nature to the old one. It had the same physics, the same laws of nature. The gravity indicated that they were on a planet roughly the same size as before. But the very fact of the events were something Cyrus simply couldn't wrap his head around, even in the best of circumstances.

But he had found the library, and despite the assumed age of the books, most of them were in at least fair condition (he had a memory of a movie he had seen as a child, of a time traveler in the distant future who found all books crumbled to dust from their ancientness and disregard, as the future beings were lackwits who cared nothing for learning). There were things here about this world, and he may find the connection between it and that moon.

But first he should at least put some of them away. Ugh.

garmentgoddess

Who: Everyone!
What: FOOD TIMES
Where: Kitchen
When: the 13th

For a few days beforehand, handwritten signs had been posted around the building and grounds. They were worded a little differently here and there, but they all followed the basic theme of getting together for preserving various foods. Do you like pickles? Jam? Pear vodka?

Thanks to a cabinet full of jars found during the cleaning, the fruits and such from the forest could be preserved for extended life. And Rene was waiting in the kitchen, eager to get started. Good thing they had a stove that could be lit with a match!
