02 | video + action | i'm dreaming of a white christmas...

[frigidaire]

Who: Isaac Lahey & Davesprite
Broadcast: fleetwide; action/network for the Marsiva
Action: Marsiva
When: morning of the 15th.

[ when the feed flickers on, it takes a second for the video to adjust. when it does, there's no one there, but instead the corridors and entryways of the Marsiva are covered in streams of white. the floors are covered, every pillar and doorway, every window frame, chair, table, potted plant, whatever -- literally everything is covered in white. the whole field of view is streams upon streams of white.

upon closer inspection? toilet paper. countless rolls of toilet paper, strewn about to fill every possible surface. chances are, anyone who steps out of their room will find they are met with a fluffy white sea of quilted toilet tissue. it's only a shame it doesn't stick to the walls or it might well be there, too. in some corners the cardboard tubes are stacked up in different shapes, one stack of them, set up in the middle of the room, looks like someone might have been trying to bowl with them. it's a 7-10 split.

finally, the video swivels and shows the face of a young man, Isaac Lahey. ] So I know most of the glitching has been pretty bad, but yesterday I found this panel, had all of these buttons and... well, this happened. I mean, we found a storage closet. We being, me and Davesprite. Thought we'd do some redecorating. There's more to do -- this place is huge -- and if we're going to be trapped here by this maybe evil maybe good spaceship crew, we should at least enjoy it. Kind of.

[ he snorts, looking around again. ] Tried toilet paper bowling. It's pretty easy to cheat. We have a ton more, and there's a lot of ship, so. Yeah. [ the camera turns again to a substantial pile of toilet paper rolls. ooh, look, they might even be the double rolls! ] If you get bored, anyway. We can't finish it all ourselves.


(ooc: feel free to stumble upon Isaac and Davesprite TPing! responses may come from one or both! )

[ emerges from her room and probably almost runs into one of them ]

This is... a mess.

[feathery]

[And Davesprite is gonna sidestep her, to narrowly avoid that collision. Luckily his wings are folded as well as he can manage so he doesn't sideswipe anyone.]

Yes. It is definitely a mess. A whole compliment of messes, even, 'cause half-assing it just wasn't in the manual.

[frigidaire]

It's not even a mess. It's a masterpiece. Definitely makes the place feel warmer.

[ Isaac doesn't turn around until he's finished off another roll of toilet paper. ]

[takeabow]

Remind me not to have you guys decorate anything for me.

action

[unfulfilledpotential]

[Welp.

After his initial anger over the network about standards of living, Shawn's so tempted to punch the nearest wall and yell at whatever jerkface used up all of this toilet paper - except, it looks pretty fresh.

So he shrugs and starts rolling it back up because hey. This kind of thing could prove useful later.]

[frigidaire]

[ Isaac is going back over a few places they've already TP'd when he sees Shawn rolling it back up. ]

That's... the exact opposite of what we want. [ he's not mean about it, just short of half-heartedly shrugs over it. ] Not as fun, and definitely going to take you longer than it did to put out, so...

[ basically, why ruin the fun, bro? ]

[feathery]

[And here comes Davesprite.

He leans to look around Isaac, arching an eyebrow at Shawn.]

Did someone cherry bomb a toilet.

[Not that he'd actually care if they did...but hey, that sounds like a plausible reason to pick back up the toilet paper.]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka has been trying to ignore the network (as best she can), figuring everyone else must be going stir-crazy right now, too - and she is trying to stay calm, thank you very much. So as she wanders past the scene of what looks like an exploded toilet paper factory, this is all completely new to her.

She stares.

Then she snorts, sticks her hands in her pockets, and tries to keep going, stepping over a particularly impressive swath of white. Some people. ]

[frigidaire]

[ he never thought TPing would be that fun, but when it's a big open space ship? there's so much to do. especially with a seemingly endless supply of toilet paper. it's like the ship was begging for it.

Isaac really should pay more attention when he's doing this, because he backs up to throw a roll over a beam and nearly steps into Haruka. well done, Davesprite, for watching his back. ]

Whoa, sorry. Come to help? It's more fun than most things on this ship, so... [ a shrug, because walking away just sounds like she wants to be bored. why opt out of TPing the marsiva? ]

[feathery]

[HE TRIED, BRO. HE TRIED AND YOU JUST STEPPED AWAY TOO FAST.

Anyway, Davesprite is here, too, sitting on the back of a chair with his legs hanging over the side. It doesn't even look like a chair anymore. More like a snowdrift. Just. Made of toilet paper.]

Yeah, if nothing else, consider it an opportunity to expand your horizons. How often does vandalism come with zero repercussions.

video;

[huaaaaagh]

[That... is an awful lot of toilet paper. Involved in a prank done by someone who is apparently very bored.]

So when we run out of paper at the worst possible moment, we'll all know who to blame.

permavid;

[frigidaire]

The ship will regenerate it all, right? I mean that's what some people have said, so we won't exactly run out...

Hopefully. [ shruuuug. ]

[huaaaaagh]

I don't know. Nothing in this universe is infinite... you could be playing with fire, here.

audio;

[feathery]

You make it sound like we're all about to suffer a cataclysmic case of indigestion.

audio;

[huaaaaagh]

Hah. All you need is one newcomer who can't handle their space rations, and it'd be a real disaster.

action (wow this is so late??? i'm gomen)

[kotatsu]

[ guess who was just minding her business, opening her door to get some water in the kitchens in her cat pajama onesie when she nearly trips on this sea of toilet paper.

nanako gasps, almost a little too loudly, and just takes a moment to stare at her surroundings before her face falls into a frown. who could do such a thing? this is such a waste of toilet paper! they cost 739 yen per pack of 12 rolls at junes and that's when it's on sale! or when yosuke uses his employee discount whenever her and souji show up for a grocery run. that's also a third of a price of the premium pack of sushi dojima brought home once she was released from the hospital. this is outrage. this is a crime.

silently, nanako rolls up her sleeves and immediately begins gathering up the toilet paper, trying to fold them up into squares and placing them in neat piles. she better not discover who did this or she will be So Mad, mark her words.

this is nanako dojima and she is Not Pleased. ]

this isn't late at all... also pls hold for wolfbro once they're up

[feathery]

[Davesprite's antipathy towards Atroma knows no bounds.

Well, no, it has bounds—it's probably a lot more mild than it should be—but those bounds do not include respecting Atroma's endlessly replenishing property in any way, shape, or form (unless passengers count as property and that's still kind of dependent on the passenger). He would have considered fucking up something a little more serious than toilet paper or deactivated cameras if he could have pulled it off by now, but alas.

He's looking around for a good spot to leave some (sadly temporary) laser graffiti when he spots Nanako.]

...Is this a game of some kind. [Look, none of his friends were normal, so this could be a typical kid thing for all he knows.]

[frigidaire]

[ Isaac shouldn't be so apathetic about the space ship they're destined to live on, but already his 'not-caring' game is very strong. the ship itself doesn't provide much in the way of entertainment, certainly, and with the glitches everyone seems far, far too stressed out. so why not fix things with a bit of fun.

he's just finished stringing toilet paper between two doorways, blocking one corridor with a flimsy net of toilet paper. he pauses when he sees the girl folding it up neatly, though. ]

Does it look like a game? Definitely doesn't look fun. [ he's the worst at reading social cues sometimes, so does not even notice that Nanako is mad. ] Hey, I can give you a roll of your own so you don't have to mess up what we've already done, you know.
