Season Finale: Who Got ‘Sucked Off’?

Wow, what an ending. But the big question remains. Which ghost got ‘sucked off’? (Moved on to heaven)

There’s already a LOT of speculation as to who they may be. So I’m going to go over them, along with what I believe might happen in season 3.

Nigel

People are saying now that Isaac and Nigel are engaged, it made Nigel so happy it caused him to move on. (Which I will boycott the fuckin show if that’s the case) But I don’t believe that to be the truth. Not with the rules the show has already set up with how a ghost gets ‘sucked off’. And for that, we have to go all the way back to the first season.

How A Ghost Gets ‘Sucked Off’

In season 1 episode 11 ‘Sam’s Mom’, we meet Sam’s mother Sheryl who became a ghost at a restaurant after having an allergic reaction to shrimp.

At the end of the episode, she’s able to move on to heaven after having a real heart to heart with Sam, telling her how proud of her she’s always been and has just wanted the best for her. And almost immediately she gets ‘sucked off’.

Now, back to Nigel.

People are saying ‘Well now that Nigel is engaged, he’d be so happy, this would have caused him to move on, right?’ But the answer is no. Not with how the logic of getting ‘sucked off’ is already put in place. Hetty even mentions this logic in the third episode of the series. She says and I quote, “Sometimes very rare occasions, when a ghost is able to resolve a long-standing issue, the heavens open up and whoosh, they get sucked off.”

This is exactly what happened with Sam’s mother. She was able to resolve her issues with her daughter, making her ‘unfinished business’ finished. What issues did Nigel put to rest? There wasn’t any. Now, you could say the ‘issue’ was him and Isaac not taking the next step in moving in together. But if that was the case, wouldn’t after Isaac proposed and said they could move in together would this have happened? Wouldn’t he have immediately been ‘sucked off’? But it didn’t happen. So it COULDN’T have been Nigel. So who was it? Who got ‘sucked off’?

Season 3 Predictions

Who I believe might have been the one who got ‘sucked off’.

I think it’ll be Nancy. And there’s a few reasons as to why I believe it’ll be her:

She had been more prominent in season 2 than she’s been in season 1. (And yes I know the same goes for Nigel but just hear me out)

She had been in the last three episodes of season two.

She has been shown to be more interactive with the other ghosts during their daily activities.

I feel like this season has been setting up for her departure from Woodstone. Even in her debut episode back in season 1, she explains to the other cholera ghosts that she ‘wants a better afterlife than this’. How she didn’t want to just stand around all day in the basement and do nothing. She wanted to feel a part of something. To be part of a group that feels like a family and something meaningful. And lately, the other ghosts have seemed to have accepted her to just be around too. They don’t seem to have a problem with her anymore. (Well except for Hetty of course) So with the feeling of being unwanted and not accepted gone, Nancy has finally made peace and when she realizes this, she’s able to move on.

Final Thoughts

Phew, so that’s what I believe might happen in the beginning of season 3. But for now, I guess we’ll just have to wait until the fall to see for sure.

hi hi! first time asker here,,,,i really enjoy your thoughts about the octatrio and other nrc guys :D!! i love reading through your stuff!

this is kind of a question?? but moreso a thought that came up while eating eating ceviche earlier. i started wondering how the octatrio would react to it,,,,,,like i personally think jade + azul would find the concept interesting and try to get the recipe for it, especially since it can be made with almost any seafood. but also be a little freaked by it at the same time (maybe moreso on azul's end?? since ceviche de pulpo is decently popular) (i personally think both jade and floyd would mess with him by eating it around azul since octopus dishes are both their faves.) floyd might take a bite of the spoonful thats in hand but may he caught off guard by the sheer amount of lemon juice in it. it's definitely a dish that they wouldn't think of!

what are your thoughts :?

I think it wouldn't be too big of a surprise, I'm pretty sure some of the other character's favorite foods are also ones cooked in lime/lemon juice. I think they'd be familiar with the concept of it.

I think it's made a lot more spicy/with different fish and veggies depending on the region. My mom makes hers with tilapia and clamato, cilantro, onion, tomatoes, and avocado since she's allergic to raw shellfish. My stepmom makes hers with shrimp and the same as above but also adds like an entire bottle of hot sauce (it's my favoriteeeee) to hers. I think that they'd been more off guard by the sheer level of spiciness, lol.

I think that both the twins would get a kick out of ceviche de pulpo (I've heard of it but it's never been made or sold in my area) and would actually eat it in front of Azul just to annoy him.

#mochi asks #twst #twisted wonderland #jade leech #floyd leech #azul ashengrotto #i don't think ceviche de pulpo is a thing where im from ive only heard of it like twice cause i read about it #shrimp is very standard where im from

[curiositysavesthecat]

Raw shrimp, just like sashimi, may not be the safest choice to eat, though they’re highly common in Asia, and the risk of food poisoning or other illnesses can be minimized if you purchase them from business that appropriately freezes the shrimp to kill the bacteria and any other parasites that may be in them first.

[charliedawn]

Hello It's me Ya boy✨ Anyway Could You write about The reader having allergies ( crab and shrimp) And they accidentally eat it probably because of there friend and got sent into a hospital how would the slashers react??( cause I just did that and uh my friend really won't stop apologizing and I just keep freaking laughing cause how stupid I am 🤣)

Jason *sees you on the floor and starts panicking* : "W—What is happening ?"

Jason would then go warn someone or hold you until you tell him what to do.

Confused boy.

He would understand if you pointed to the EpiPen, but since he's forest boy...Wouldn't know how to use it.

And since he's technically afraid of asking help from people...You'd have to have the stamina to hang in there until someone else appears.

So, yeah. You'd have to rely on someone else on this one.

Five *look of disbelief* : "Are you stupid ? It says right there on the menu. Sea food included. Like...*sighs...Nevermind. Give me the damn pen. I was in the mood to stab someone anyway..."

Five would know how to use the pen and would take sadistic pleasure in it.

He'd also remind you for weeks about that one time he saved you.

He likes seeing people suffer. He's a brat like that.

Jack *sighs* : "...How ? Just how ?"

Would act exasperated while grabbing the EpiPen in your bag and injecting you with it.

He had a son with allergies and even though he wasn't awarded the "Father of the Year Award", he still knows how to use an EpiPen.

Thankfully.

Michael *tilts his head curiously at you*

....Why are you swelling so much ?

Confused, but would still attempt to help you by searching for a nurse.

If not ? Would stare at you and wait to see if it gets better.

...Try to explain him how to help you beforehand. Michael would be able to help, but only if he knows what it is you need.

Pennywise *impressed* : "...Again ?!" *bursts out laughing* "You gotta be kidding me ?!"

It is the third time he had to save you because of your allergies.

Penny called him and Pennywise had no choice but to save you—again.

Pennywise *rolls up his imaginary sleeves* : "Watch and learn." *places his hand over your chest and proceeds to help you by using his powers*

Brahms *PANIC*

Brahms would frantically try to search for help, or your EpiPen.

He'd have no clue how to use that last one though.

So, either he finds a nurse/doctor or...

Yup. You're dead. Sorry.

Freddy *sees you and turns away* : "Nope. Not my problem."

He would to be walking away, only to sigh and come back to crouch in front of you.

"Fine. Let's get this over with. Whatya need ?"

He would then wait for you to explain and do as you say.

He may pretend not to care, but he'd still try to help you at the end.

The Sinclair Brothers *special bonus* :

Bo *red and sweating profusely because—of course he is also allergic* : "....WHY WOULD NOBODY TELL US THAT THERE WAS DAMN CRAB IN THIS ?!"

*proceeds to become even redder and starts choking*

Vincent *looks at the both of you and wonders if he should call someone*

Bo *yells* : "GET US OUR SHOTS, IDIOT !"

Vincent *starts panicking and looking around for them in a frenzy*

Lester *finds the EpiPen, but slips and falls*

Vincent *attempts to catch the pens, but fails and they roll underneath the couch*

Bo *mutters on the verge of suffocation* : "In my next life, I'll ask for smarter brothers..."

Lester *finally finds them* : "GOT THEM !"

You and Bo *passed out*

Vincent *start panicking even more*

Lester *tries to slap you both awake* : "WAKE UP, GUYS ! HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO USE THOSE ?!"

Castletown Café Episode 23: Fried Pipis

“HEY EVERY !! IT’S ME!! SPAM-  SPAMTON G. SPAMTON! [Back by popular demand] W1TH [[AN ALL-NEW]] VERY SPECIL PRODUCT!! Y0U [Want it? Need it?] MORE [[PIPIS]]? YOU [GOT IT]!! EAHEAHEAHEAHEA!!”

Another Spring, another pipis recipe!

If you’ve played a certain...alternate route in Chapter 2, you’re likely familiar with the FriedPipis action you can take during the final battle. This action implies that pipis may be edible. This wouldn’t be too surprising, since they resemble eggs and are described as “an invasive species of freshwater clam”.

Which gave me the idea of a scotch egg with a shrimp filling instead of sausage.

While I mostly stick to plant protein, seafood was the one meat I just couldn’t give up, so I still eat it from time to time. I thought a Scotch egg with shrimp sounded delicious (especially with soy sauce), though unsurprisingly, finely minced shrimp doesn’t hold together as nicely as ground sausage, beef, or plant-based protein. I solved this problem by making a “shrimp batter” by mixing together the minced raw shrimp with beaten egg, panko, and flour in order for it to hold together. Minced scallions, ginger, and soy sauce were extra ingredients added to give the batter even more flavor. The eggs were coated in this batter before breading them.

If you’re either allergic to shellfish or just don’t like seafood, you can always make a traditional Scotch egg instead with ground sausage, turkey, or impossible sausage. I bet it’ll be easier than a shrimp batter.

The hardest part, of course, is step one: soft-boiling the eggs. In order to prevent the eggs from overcooking during the frying stage, the eggs are soft-boiled as opposed to hard-boiled.

Soft-boiling eggs is tricky. There are a lot of variables involved that can get in the way of perfect eggs - even professional chefs can’t always get it 100%! Things like the altitude you live in, or the size or freshness of an egg, all play a role in whether or not the shell will stick to the egg. Although the eggs you buy at a grocery store might have aged enough for the shell to slide off without a hitch after boiling, it’s recommended to buy your eggs at least a week in advance, just in case.

For soft-boiling, the trick I was shown (thank you, roomie) is to, for one, reduce the heat from high to medium high shortly before adding in the eggs. Do it carefully with a slotted spoon. Immediately, once the eggs are all in, set your timer to 8 minutes. Since I use the timer on my phone, I set it to 8 before the eggs are submerged, but don’t hit start until after they’re all in there. Soft-boiling the eggs for a full 8 minutes should help prevent the eggs from sticking to the shell when it’s time to peel them.

While they’re boiling and your timer’s ticking, fill up a bowl of cold water and add plenty of ice. Do not skimp. The eggs will go immediately into that ice water once they’re done. This will stop them from continuing to cook. Be sure to remove the eggs off the heat first because you will be adding them one at a time into the bowl of ice water.

You can let ‘em cool for however long you like, and you could stick ‘em in the fridge once they’re done, but since you’ll be dyeing the eggs next, I suggest keeping them at room temperature after they are done cooling.

Next, it’s time to peel and dye the eggs. Hopefully you got lucky and your eggs slid out of their shells just fine. If they’re a little messy, no worries - they’ll be coated in shrimp batter and fried anyway. For the dye, simply make a solution using water, rice vinegar, and a mix of blue and green food coloring.

PIPIS TRANSFORMATION POTION:

2 cups water

4 tablespoons rice vinegar

24 drops blue food coloring

10 drops green food coloring

The longer you leave the eggs in, the more vivid the color will get. Once done, remove the eggs from their dye bath and place them on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb some of that excess dye. Blot them with another paper towel to dry them off a little so that the flour and batter will stick to the eggs better. Finally, it’s time to make the shrimp batter.

FRIED PIPIS:

Batter:

1 and 1/4 cup finely minced raw shrimp (pre-prepared: headless, tailless, deveined and peeled)

1 to 2 beaten eggs

About 4 finely minced scallion whites

1 thumb freshly minced ginger

2 teaspoons soy sauce (you can add a little more to taste if you’d like)

1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons panko

1/2 cup four

Assembly:

4 soft-boiled eggs, cooled, peeled, and dyed

Shrimp batter

1 cup flour

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup panko

Wash and dry both your scallions and ginger. Peel and cut off about a thumb of ginger and mince it into tiny pieces. Mince your scallion whites likewise, and add both into a mixing bowl.

Since you will be mincing raw meat next, grab a different cutting board if you have one to keep your main one clean, and chop a couple heaping handfuls of shrimp into small chunks, enough to fill a measuring cup up to 1 and 1/4 cup. Add to your mixing bowl, then thoroughly wash your hands, knife, cutting board, and work surface afterward!

Next, beat eggs in a small bowl and pour it in. Add in your soy sauce, panko, and flour, then mix it all together until your batter has formed.

Re-use the bowl you beat your eggs in to beat two more eggs for the outer layer of panko coating.

Get two more bowls, one for flour, and one for panko. Pour a cup of flour in one bowl, and a cup of panko in the other.

Grab your eggs and begin the assembly! First, coat your eggs in flour so that the batter can stick to the egg easier, then coat that sucker up in the batter. Roll your battered egg in the flour once again, then the beaten egg, and finally the panko. Repeat this process until all of your eggs are battered and breaded.

Heat a pot with plenty of oil for frying. With the use of a candy or deep-fat thermometer, keep an eye on the temperature so that it reaches at least 375 degrees F. Once your oil is hot enough, it’s time to fry!

Fry your [PIPIS] until the panko is golden brown and the shrimp is fully cooked on the inside. It may be hard to tell when they’re done, as the outside will cook the fastest. The microwave is your friend if the shrimp hasn’t cooked all the way.

Enjoy! And....don’t manipulate your friends into freezing everyone in sight......

[another-dr-another]

if ur gonna go to ur room might as well bring the blanket

Maeda, narrating - Oh, true…

Maeda - Better to have and not need, than need and not have, right?

//Maeda has gotten changed into his pajamas, and now grabs both his pillow and his blanket from his bed.

Maeda - Alright, I’m ready to go.

Maeda - I wonder if Maki, Tomori, and Kobashikawa finished their game yet-

Maeda - Actually, I wonder if dinner is ready…

//Maeda leaves his dorm…

~*~ 

//…And, Maeda enters Tsurugi’s dorm.

Hatano - Maeda, hey!

Maeda - Hi!

Kobashikawa - …Wait, Maeda, spin…

Kobashikawa - Like, three-sixty, show me your outfit!

Maeda - …

//Maeda slowly spins, obliging a very content Kobashikawa.

Kobashikawa - Solid. A bit similar to mine, yeah?

Maeda - Is that why you like it?

Kobashikawa - I like that you took inspiration from me, yeah-

Kobashikawa - Wait, you can’t even see-

//Kobashikawa tugs the collar of his jacket aside, revealing the strap of a tank top.

Kobashikawa - That’s what I’m on about. The similarities literally start and end with the existence of a tank top we’re covering up.

Kobashikawa - …

Maeda - …

Maeda, teasing - You think I look good?

Kobashikawa - Those pants are good for your legs. I didn’t realize how long they are- 

Kobashikawa - Y’know, you could probably get away with showing up to breakfast in your pajamas every morning… I doubt anyone would get after you, so…

Maeda - …Hm. I’ll keep that in mind.

//Kobashikawa is sitting on the floor, doesn’t seem to have moved an inch- but Maeda notices now that there’s a plate near him, with a slice of pizza. Particularly, Maeda notices this because Kobashikawa went to eat while Maeda was responding to him, and is now looking at Maeda wide-eyed. He quickly takes his bite, and picks his whiteboard back up.

Kobashikawa - Pizza’s ready!

Kobashikawa - Uh- obviously…

Kobashikawa - This is shrimp and corn, and then, they also made a margherita-type one…

Kobashikawa - Tsurugi and Ōtori started taking “orders” just a little bit ago, one of them should be back in a second, and you can let them know.

//True to Kobashikawa’s word, just seconds after Kobashikawa finishes writing-

Tsurugi - Ah, Maeda!

//-Tsurugi shows up, holding two plates.

Tsurugi - Hiya. So, I wasn’t sure what type of pizza you’d want, but everyone else had food already,

Tsurugi - And what was I supposed to do, wait and ask you? No.

Tsurugi - There’s one of each on each plate, but if you’re allergic to shellfish, or tomato, 

Tsurugi - Or just happen to be a person with preferences, then you can mix and match and take what you want!

//Maeda walked back over to the door while Tsurugi talked, and is now looking at the plates.

Maeda - …

Maeda - I honestly don’t care-

//Maeda takes one of the plates and smiles.

Maeda - Thanks, Tsurugi.

Tsurugi - Don’t thank me, thank Uehara. 

Tsurugi - I wanted to let you starve, but he pointed out that that may not be considered nice?

Tsurugi - I wasn’t convinced, but it looks like he was right…

//Uehara appears in the doorway- or rather, just behind it, as Tsurugis still in the way.

Uehara - I took a gamble.

Tsurugi - Uehara!

Tsurugi - Did you make sure the dining hall door was left open?

Uehara - Yeah, it should be good.

Uehara - I made Ōtori get the door, so… if he didn’t prop it open right, it’s not my fault.

Tsurugi - …Where is Ōtori-

//Tsurugi looks down the hallway, bumping Uehara in the process.

Tsurugi - …

Tsurugi - He’s not- he can’t get the door, I’m gonna-

//Tsurugi starts trying to leave, with a plate still in his hands, and Uehara still behind him.

Tsurugi - Kinji-hold-my-food-

//Tsurugi pushes his plate at Uehara, and darts down the hallway. Luckily for him, Uehara managed to get a grip on the plate before Tsurugi let go of it.

Uehara - …

Maeda - …

Uehara - Hey, Maeda.

Maeda - Hey! Food looks great- haven’t gotten to actually try it, but-

Uehara - Oh, thanks.

//They both begin to walk away from the door.

Uehara - …Y’know, I didn’t actually learn to make pizza dough until after I was in Japan.

Maeda - Really?!

Uehara - Mhm. Found a recipe online- it’s crazy how different search results are depending on the language you use-

Uehara - But, I found a recipe, and used it enough times that I’ve got it memorized.

Maeda - Huh…

//At this point, they’re both in their respective spots across the room, and are both finished with the conversation.

Maeda - …

//Maeda begins eating. 

Maeda - …It’s really good.

Maeda - I’m not usually a fan of pizza- and honestly, I’m picky with seafood,

Maeda - But this is great…

//Maeda looks around the room as he eats. Iranami is sitting near the door, further away from the wall than she’s been most of the night. Higa has moved as well, no longer by the bathroom, now close-ish to Iranami. Uehara is in the general area he’s been hanging out in, much like Kobashikawa, Maki, and Tomori, who are sitting around where Maeda left them, and chatting together. Maeda watches Hatano leave the bathroom and go sit across from Taira, who has taken Higa’s old spot. The latter’s absence has led to Maeda somewhat encroaching on the space she used to occupy- they aren’t sitting across from each other, but Maeda’s closer than he was before he left to get changed. 

Maeda - It’s quiet, with everyone eating…

//Maeda moves backwards, now leaning against the wall as he eats. Ōtori and Tsurugi enter now, sparking a bit of hushed conversation, but they quickly settle into their spots. Ōtori goes in the middle of the Iranami-Higa-Uehara trifecta, while Tsurugi heads straight for Uehara, finally reprieving Uehara of watching over his food.

Maeda - It’s a solid amount of food though.

Maeda - I’m still hungry right now, but I don’t think I’m going to get through all of it right now.

//Maeda continues eating.

Ōtori - Ow!

//Maeda looks over just in time to see a marker fall to the floor by Ōtori, and watches as Ōtori rubs at his head.

Kobashikawa - Is that my pillow? Don’t get your shit on it!

Ōtori - God, asshole… no, it’s not yours.

Kobashikawa - No? Then where is mine, Ōtori?

Ōtori - Right there!

//Ōtori points to a few pillows stacked haphazardly in one part of the room.

Kobashikawa - That’s one of them, but I brought two. 

Ōtori - I don’t- I don’t know, what did you do with your things?

Tomori - Wait, Kobashikawa, is your second pillow behind mine?

Kobashikawa - Which one’s yours?

Tomori - Green one- one of yours is on top of it… at least, I think that’s your pillow.

Maki - No, I think that’s mine.

Kobashikawa - The one on top of Tomori’s?

Maki - No, the one behind hers.

Kobashikawa - …

Tomori - …

Maki - …

Ōtori - …

Kobashikawa - …God damnit-

//Kobashikawa gets up and quickly crosses the room, making his way to the pile of pillows, which he quickly disassembles.

//He moves one pillow.

Kobashikawa - Tomori.

//He moves another.

Kobashikawa - Maki.

//He grabs another.

Kobashikawa - …

Iranami - …I think that’s mine.

Kobashikawa - Thank you.

//He throws it, same as all the others.

Kobashikawa - Iranami. 

//He grabs yet another pillow.

Kobashikawa, tentatively - …Hatano?

Hatano - Uh-huh.

Kobashikawa - …

//He tosses her pillow as well- then grabs the last pillow left.

Kobashikawa - Mine.

Ōtori - …

Kobashikawa - …

//They stare at each other- and after a moment, Uehara stands, and starts to approach.

Uehara - …Okay, y’know, this is probably a good opportunity to just take, like… inventory of all the shit we brought in-

//While Uehara talks, Kobashikawa begins to shuffle awkwardly on his knees, closing the distance between himself and Ōtori. It only takes a few seconds before he’s satisfied with his progress- and whacks Ōtori with his pillow. Luckily for Ōtori, Kobashikawa is just close enough to reach him, but far enough away that he falls forwards in the process, keeping Kobashikawa from non-stop attacking Ōtori.

Uehara - …

Uehara - Ah.

Tsurugi - …Ue, move, I can’t see-

//Uehara moves to the side just as Kobashikawa regains his balance, and goes back to trying to beat Ōtori, who’s now prepared enough to try and fend off the attacks, though he’s still at a major disadvantage, as he’s still flush with the floor, and unable to get up with Kobashikawa’s pillow barrage.

Tsurugi - …Okay, seems fine.

Uehara - Really?!

Tsurugi - Yeah, this is chill.

Ōtori - Help!

//Tsurugi continues to eat.

Tomori - …

//Maeda watches Tomori crawl forwards on her hands and knees… to where her pillow lies.

Maeda - …Oh god.

//Tomori grabs her pillow, sits for a moment and waits… before chucking her pillow between Ōtori and Kobashikawa.

Kobashikawa - !

//Kobashikawa turns to look at her- giving Ōtori enough time to get a grip on Tomori’s pillow, and swing it at Kobashikawa.

Ōtori - Ha!

//Kobashikawa looks back at Ōtori, and rapidly begins beating him with his pillow.

Ōtori - Ow!

Taira - …Karma

Tomori - …

//Tomori grabs the pillow that started this whole drama, and begins to hit both Kobashikawa and Ōtori indiscriminately.

Ōtori - Aaaaah!

//Kobashikawa largely ignores her, and focuses on continuing to whack Ōtori. Tomori’s laughter rings above the sounds of the pillow collisions- until it suddenly gets cut out, and Tomori is knocked over for the first time.

Uehara - Stop instigating!

//Tomori pops back up, still laughing excitedly. She tugs at the pillow Uehara’s holding, but can’t compose herself enough to actually engage a single muscle in her body. Uehara not only keeps his grip on his weapon (likely the only time his strength will prevail against an athletes), but manages to wrench it back, and thump Tomori with it again, causing her to tip over, again.

Uehara - You’re making the problem worse!

//Tomori seems thoroughly exhausted, more from laughing than anything else. She takes a moment to lie on the floor and try to catch her breath, giving Uehara time to stare disappointedly at Kobashikawa and Ōtori, still dueling.

Uehara - …

Tomori, wheezing - M… Maki- Maki help…

Maki - …

Maki - I don’t… think I want to do that…

Tomori, out of breath - Noo-o… help me!

Maki - …

//Tomori gets up on her knees- immediately, Uehara gently taps his pillow against her, letting her fend it off with ease.

Tomori - Uehara- c’mere, come to the floor. 

Uehara - Why?

Tomori - I can’t hit you well if you’re all the way up there…

Uehara - Compelling argument!

Uehara - …

//Uehara obliges, and promptly gets hit by Tomori-

Iranami - …

//And quickly, Iranami, who’s been sitting nearby, joins in.

Uehara - What did I do?!

Tomori - Got in my way!

Tomori - Iranami, get him!

//Iranami continues to smack Uehara with her pillow.

Kobashikawa - …

//Kobashikawa has been laser-focused this entire time, and yes, is still attacking Ōtori, who at this point, has largely given up on fighting back. All hope seems lost for him until-

Tomori - Aaah!

//Tomori is knocked down once again- this time by Tsurugi, who begins randomly whacking at everyone in sight.

Uehara - B-Boy help!

//Uehara gets whacked by Tsurugi’s pillow. Approximately two seconds after, Iranami topples over on top of him- the unfortunate victim of both an attack from Tsurugi, and a poorly timed, worse-aimed counterattack from Tomori. 

Tsurugi - Aaa! Sorry!

Tsurugi - Tomori, you killed her!

//Tomori responds by winding up and whacking Tsurugi- finally giving Ōtori a chance at escape, as Tsurugi collides with Kobashikawa.

Kobashikawa - !

Ōtori - Finally!

Tsurugi - …Oh no- Aaaaa!

//Ōtori begins trying to attack Kobashikawa, who’s doing oddly well fending him off-

Tsurugi - Oww!

//But is a bit distracted by the fact he and Tsurugi are so entangled that Tsurugi can’t escape.

Tomori - …

Ōtori - …

//Ōtori seems to be considering easing up for a moment so Tsurugi can escape. He does not take the kind route- and promptly gets whacked in the head by Tomori. Maeda watches as Uehara and Tomori quickly execute their extraction plan- added at the end by a confused, but helpful Kobashikawa, who helps a bit with pushing and pulling Tsurugi away, but mostly just gets out of the way, which is help enough.

Tsurugi, panting - Jesus…

Uehara - Poor soldier…

Kobashikawa - …

//Kobashikawa looks at Ōtori, and just as he sits up, hits him with his pillow, quickly using Ōtori’s lack of balance against him to regain his advantage.

Iranami - …

//Hatano walks by, briefly obscuring Maeda’s vision- he notices she’s holding a pillow of her own, and watches her sit next to Iranami. 

Maeda - …

//Once again, its silent, bar the sounds of Kobashikawa’s pillow thumping against Ōtori.

Hatano - …

Tsurugi - …

Uehara - …

//Without exchanging a single word- all five students suddenly begin wildly attacking both Ōtori and Kobashikawa.

Hatano - Ha! Take that!

Tsurugi - Vive la révolution! 

Tomori - Death to the bourgeoisie!

//It very quickly devolves back into everyone attacking everyone. 

Maeda - …

//Maeda reaches a hand forward, placing it on Taira’s pillow- he quickly manages to catch her eye.

Maeda - ?

Taira - …

//She nods, so Maeda grabs the pillow, and quickly chucks it in the approximate center of the mass of students. Multiple screams ensue, and the pillow is briefly bounced around, before getting knocked out of the circle.

Maeda - …I’m just realizing I brought my own pillow.

//Maeda grabs his pillow, and once again gets Taira’s attention- this time, holding his own pillow up apologetically. She shrugs, unbothered, and goes back to spectating the fight.

Maeda - …

Maeda - …Fuck it.

//Maeda joins the fray, joining the others in swinging wildly- and quickly, gets swung at himself. It seems that in the middle of it all, Kobashikawa is still doing his best to hit Ōtori, though he’s frequently getting knocked around by assorted pillows. 

Maeda - Bad idea, bad idea, bad idea-

Maeda - Very fun, but a very bad id-

//Maeda is knocked to the floor for the first time.

Maeda - …Very fun.

//Maeda does his best to get back up- it takes a few tries, most of which are thwarted by someone or other targeting him, but eventually gets back onto his knees.

Maeda - Who should I get-

//Maeda spots Hatano, slightly tilted over, and quickly smacks her in the side with his pillow, further tipping her. She yelps, not expecting an attack from that side, and quickly whirls around to try and get the offender back. Maeda does his best to seem innocent- and whacks Kobashikawa, coincidentally syncing up with Tomori on a target. Kobashikawa gets knocked around slightly, but is generally undeterred 

Maeda - Damn. All this over a pillow?

Maeda - Well, I guess it’s more about the principle than anything n-

//Maeda is whacked in the head.

Maeda - !

//Maeda, still disoriented, tries to get up- just to get knocked down again.

Maeda - !!!

//Maeda blinks, and sees Taira, holding the pillow he threw earlier. She quickly hits someone- then looks at Maeda, waiting for him to try and get back up.

Maeda - …God damn it-

//Maeda shifts to his elbows… and tries to slowly, steadily get back up, watching Taira as she watches him back, waiting for the right moment-

Taira - !

//She swings, and Maeda braces himself- just to feel something under his arm a split second before he gets yanked backwards.

Maeda - Ack!

//Maeda ends up on his back once more- but this time, doesn’t land on the floor, rather, he realizes quickly that he’s landed on whoever tugged him away-

Maeda - Ugh…

//Maeda manages to inch away, further from Taira, and off of his savior. At least, he thinks he’s off them, until-

Maki - Ow! 

Maeda - Sorry!

//He realizes he wound up laying on top of golden hair- which he quickly identifies as Makis, once he scrambles away.

Maki - It’s fine… I don’t have a hair tie, so-

//Without a single thought, Maeda quickly tugs a hair tie from his wrist, and holds it out to Maki.

Maki - …Oh. Thank you.

Maki - Anyways- it didn’t seem like Taira had any plans to let you go, so…

Maeda - Playing favorites?

Maki - Instinct, honestly- I should’ve let her get you.

Maeda - I’m grateful for your instinct.

//Maki has finished tying her hair back, and now sits up, looking at Maeda. Before he can process that she’s grabbed her pillow- she’s hit him in the face with it.

Maeda - Aah!

//By the time Maeda has shaken himself off, Maki has left- now going after Tomori, who tries to get her back, just to get attacked from behind by Uehara.

Maeda - …

//Maeda hits Hatano with his pillow. Again.

Hatano - Maeda!

Maeda - …

//Maeda avoids the situation by attacking Kobashikawa. Again.

Tsurugi - …

//Maeda sees Tsurugi, across the huddle of students, get up, and leave- Maeda would try to see where he’s going, but he promptly gets bumped by a pillow with no owner?

Maeda - ?!

//Maeda looks around, and realizes that the only student who hasn’t joined the fray is Higa�� who is lacking the pillow Maeda saw near him earlier.

Tsurugi - Kobashikawa?

//Kobashikawa turns to look at Tsurugi, and it’s as though he still holds some power over the group from being the first to start- everyone shifts around to let him see Tsurugi, and follows his gaze over.

Tsurugi - Is this your second pillow?

//Tsurugi is holding a pillow- not the one he’s been using (which Maeda recognizes as the one Uehara used to whack Tomori initially) but one… with the same pillowcase as the one Kobashikawa’s been using as his weapon of choice.

Kobashikawa - Yes!

Ōtori - …All this because you didn’t notice your pillow right there?!

Kobashikawa - No! No, this was exactly my point!

//Kobashikawa gets up and starts explaining.

Kobashikawa - No. Because, we started over here, you were sitting a bit to the right of where Tsurugi grabbed the pillow-

Kobashikawa - When I started hitting you, you went further to the right, so it makes sense the pillow, when knocked away, would go to the left- you went away from it.

Kobashikawa - You had the pillow you’ve been using, and underneath it was my pillow.

Ōtori - …

Ōtori - Then just ask me to put the pillow down?

Kobashikawa - …

//Kobashikawa dives at Ōtori.

Ōtori - NO-

//The class shrieks and scatters away, Maeda included, in what’s either a delayed response to almost getting trampled a few seconds ago, or a preemptive attempt to avoid Kobashikawa and Ōtori, both flailing.

Tsurugi - …Huh.

Tomori - Is now maybe a good time to call it quits, or…

Uehara - I meant to start organizing…

Tsurugi - …

//Tsurugi narrows his eyes.

Maeda - …I’m so out of breath. Jesus.

//Maeda watches as Kobashikawa slows his frantic smacking, rhythmically thumping Ōtori a few times, before slowing to a stop, standing up… and walking away.

Ōtori - …

Ōtori, panting - Holy… shit…

//Kobashikawa walks over to his second pillow, grabbing it from where Tsurugi had abandoned it just a moment ago.

Maeda - …Ah-

//Suddenly, Kobashikawa whirls around, and hurls both pillows directly at Ōtori.

Ōtori - !!!

//As Ōtori recoils, Kobashikawa drops to the ground like a stone, both feigning death, and closing himself off from any interaction, as he doesn’t have his whiteboard, and isn’t facing Ōtori.

Ōtori - …

//Ōtori tosses the pillows back to Kobashikawa- one lands on his side, and the other on top of the first. Kobashikawa doesn’t react beyond slightly shifting his position.

Uehara - …We should really organize…

Uehara - Does everyone have their own pillow, or?

//A solid fifty percent of the class abandoned their pillows in their attempt to escape Kobashikawa earlier.

Uehara - …Okay.

//Uehara stands, and starts grabbing pillows.

Uehara - Higa, this should be yours, this is Tomori’s…

//He tosses both pillows to their respective owners.

Uehara - Alright… Kobashikawa has his pillows-

//Maeda quietly moves back to where he was sitting prior to the impromptu pillow fight-

Maeda - …Wait- what a cliche!

Maeda - A literal pillow fight during a sleepover. Huh.

//And watches as Uehara begins to organize. Maeda would go help, but his belongings are all together still, and past that, only Taira’s things are in the area he’s in. Uehara seems to be concerned with getting everyone their own items back, and probably appreciates Maeda being out of the way.

Maeda - …

//Maeda finds his abandoned plate and begins eating again.

Maeda - Cold now, but still good.

//…Maeda gets hit with a pillow.

Maeda - !

//Maeda moves the pillow, and notices Taira looking at him.

Taira - Maeda, would you set that on my blanket for me?

Maeda - …

//Maeda obliges, and Taira smiles.

Maeda - She easily could’ve thrown that on her blanket instead of at me.

//Maeda readjusts, and goes to continue eating. He looks up- and immediately makes eye contact with Higa, still sitting across the room.

Higa - ?

Maeda - …???

Maeda - What is Higa looking at me like that for?...

//Higa gets up, and approaches Maeda.

Maeda - …Aw shit-

//Higa crosses the room, and sits down next to Maeda without saying a word.

Higa - Hey.

Higa - Do you know how to play Solitaire?

//Higa shakes a deck of cards he brought over with him as Maeda moves his plate off of his lap.

Maeda - …I think so, yeah.

Maeda - May not remember all the rules, but I’ve got the basic concept.

Higa - Cool.

Higa - Want to play a round with me?

//Higa is currently shuffling the cards.

Maeda - …

Maeda - Yeah, sure.

//Higa nods, and stops shuffling the cards. He sets the deck on the floor, fans the cards out, and quickly begins arranging them into a configuration that's vaguely-familiar to Maeda.

Higa - We start with Ace, and go up to King. When you find the Ace of a suit, place it here.

Higa - Usually, multiplayer Solitaire is just multiple people playing their own game, but we can work together, because you aren’t familiar with Solitaire, and I only have one deck.

Higa - …Uh…

Higa - I’m not used to explaining this.

Higa - Look- see how there’s a six of diamonds, and a seven of spades? Because they’re different colors, you can move the six on top of the seven- go ahead.

//Maeda…moves the six on top of the seven.

Higa - So, now we flip over the card that the six was covering-

Higa - Oh, perfect- so, it’s an eight, and it’s red, which means both the seven and the six should be moved.

//Maeda is already in the process of moving both the cards.

Higa - And now, we flip over the next card.

//Maeda has already flipped over the next card.

Maeda - We use the deck now, right? Because we can’t play with any of the cards that are face-up?

Higa - Mhm.

//Higa reaches for the deck of leftover cards, and flips the first one over.

Higa - Ace of spades!

Higa - Here, put it wherever- above the four right-most rows of cards.

//Maeda puts it above the row of cards three from the right.

Maeda - Is that gonna bug him, because it isn’t in the first or fourth spot?

//Maeda glances at Higa. Higa has already flipped over the next card, and is looking to see if he can play it.

Maeda - …Fine by me.

//Maeda and Higa spend some time side-by-side, working their way through the game of Solitaire Higa set up. It’s a bit oddly executed- it really isn’t a two player game- but despite Higa’s general behavior, and what Maeda was witness to earlier… it goes well. They idly chat, mostly about the game, and what move they should make, but mostly, they silently work their way through the fifty-two cards, and eventually have them all stacked up into their suits.

Uehara - Okay. Every item has a person, and every person has all their items, yeah?

//The class- at least, the students involved in organizing- all agree.

Tsurugi - Hooray!

Maeda, to Higa - …Is this what you were playing earlier?

Higa - Oh, yes, that’s correct. Solitaire is an iconic card game, and one of the few that are meant for one player.

Higa - All you need is a deck of cards- did you know, that whenever you shuffle a deck of cards, it’s near impossible that that exact order of cards has ever been seen before?

Higa - By near impossible, I mean, it’s unlikely the same configuration of cards will ever occur before humanities extinction.

Maeda - …

Hatano - We should pick out places for everyone to sleep now…

Tomori - Isn’t it a bit early in the night?

Hatano - Why not, though!

Maeda - …I’m gonna use my Lucky Student powers to make that happen. 

Higa - Oh?

//Maeda grabs the cards.

Maeda - Mhm. Here, I’ll start shuffling- grab a pen and paper, and get down the order of the cards.

Higa - …

Maeda - …Not only am I gonna get the same order twice, I’ll get ‘em in a row.

//Higa rolls his eyes- and while it’s not a light, teasing thing, Maeda doesn’t feel there’s malice behind it. Maeda shuffles the deck once, then hands the cards to Higa.

Hatano - Uhm… I’ll sleep over here!

Hatano - …Who’s pillow is this?

Higa - …

//Higa stands, sliding the cards into their box as he goes.

Higa - That’s mine, go ahead and toss it to me.

Hatano - …Okay.

//Hatano grabs Higa’s long forgotten pillow, and throws it to him. He catches it with ease, and lays it out by Tsurugi’s bed frame. 

Higa - …

Uehara - …

Tsurugi - …Okay, so, I’ll sleep here-

Uehara, quickly - I’m sleeping next to Tsurugi.

Uehara - …You all are scary and I need him to keep me safe.

//Uehara not only towers over the rest of the class, but is also just a generally intimidating person. Despite his quips, it’s obvious there’s a reason he wants to sleep by Tsurugi- with students starting to move to where they’ll be sleeping, this means Tsurugi and Higa will be by each other. Maeda recognizes that Uehara’s been repeatedly making an effort to keep them away from each other, so, of course he wants to be nearby.

Maeda - I’m comfortable right now…

//The class continues to organize each other, and wind up with the following layout. First off, Higa is next to Tsurugi’s bed frame, on an otherwise unused futon mattress. The mattress of Tsurugi’s bed is next to him, and currently holds Tsurugi and Uehara- because of Tsurugi’s nightstand, they aren’t sleeping in a line, rather, Tsurugi’s head is next would be next to his nightstand if he laid down, while the nightstand is at the top of Higa’s head. Hatano is lying perpendicular to Tsurugi and Uehara, along the wall, on the part of the floor that’s been taken over by tatami mats. All the way across the room from Hatano is Iranami, and next to her is Maki. After Maki is Maeda, and next to him is Taira, who somehow wound up with a whole mattress (taken off of Tomori’s bed) to herself- Maeda could probably fit on it as well, but he’s fine without invading her space. Those four are taking up just about all the room over there, leaving Tomori, Ōtori, and Kobashikawa. Tomori is lying near Taira, by Tsurugi’s footboard, across the room from the door, and closest to the bathroom.

Ōtori - …

Ōtori - We’ve done pretty well, given that we’re working around…

//Ōtori gestures at Kobashikawa, who still hasn’t gotten up from the floor after lying down earlier. Maeda would think he’d fallen asleep, or worse, be it not for the fact that Kobashikawa rearranged his pillows some time ago, moving one under his head, and the other being somewhere near his face- Maeda can’t quite see.

Kobashikawa - …

Uehara - I mean, you both have plenty of space there, yeah? If you both have room to sleep, what’s the issue?

Ōtori - …Yeah, that’s true.

//Ōtori and Kobashikawa are both in the empty space between Hatano and Iranami-Maki, and next to Uehara. Uehara’s right- they’ve found space for everyone to sleep, when the time comes. For now though, it’s still early in the night, and everyone’s bright and awake. 

Maeda - …!

//Very suddenly, Kobashikawa sits up.

Kobashikawa - Guys, we should play Uno.

Maki - …All of us?

Kobashikawa - I mean, whoever wants to play?

//Kobashikawa stands up.

Kobashikawa - …Except, uh, Tsurugi. Tsurugi, we’re kicking you out.

Tsurugi - …

//…Tsurugi’s lower lip trembles.

Tsurugi - …Again?

Tsurugi - First Blackjack, now this?

//Tsurugi starts to cry.

Ōtori - You didn’t get kicked out of Blackjack, everyone just decided your win didn’t count because you got 21 on your first go.

Tsurugi - …

Tsurugi - Oh my god, you’re right!

//Tsurugi is no longer crying. 

Tsurugi - Okay, all better then.

//Kobashikawa has found the deck of Uno cards, and begins toying with them-

Maeda - …Oh shit, that’s right- he doesn’t know how to shuffle cards.

//Maeda gets up, and begins going over to try and take the cards off of Kobashikawas hands.

Tomori - …

Taira, amused - Tomori, are you okay?

Tomori - …

Tomori - Have you ever played Uno with more than like… six people before?

Tomori - If you get over ten people, it’s like…

Tomori - Guys, we have to all play. We can’t let this chance go to waste!

//Maeda silently extends his hands out to Kobashikawa, offering him the opportunity to pass the cards off. Kobashikawa smiles, and gives the cards to Maeda, who starts shuffling. While he fixes the deck, the class all begins to form a circle- Tomori’s dreams seem to be coming true.

Kobashikawa - Oh good, I’m glad you know I was joking, Tsurugi.

Tsurugi, in the circle - Huh?

Tsurugi - Oh! Yeah, I was just playing pretend. You have to let me play, or else…

Tomori - Or else I’ll be sad, because we need over ten people.

Maki - …Tsurugi, did you actually have a threat up your sleeve?

Tsurugi - I mean, I have an idea for one, if you wanna hear.

Maki - Yeah, I do- you’re not allowed to play anymore, Tsurugi.

Tsurugi - …You’ll let me play, unless you want me to start looking over everyone’s shoulder and saying what cards they have.

Kobashikawa - Wow.

Maki - Yeah, that’s right up your alley…

//Tsurugi smiles, and Maeda passes the cards to Kobashikawa.

Kobashikawa - How many cards?

Taira - Seven, and the person to the left of the dealer plays first.

Hatano - Yay!

//Kobashikawa quickly deals out eleven stacks of seven as Maeda looks around the circle. Starting from Kobashikawa and going left, there’s Hatano, then Uehara, Tsurugi, Ōtori, Taira, Maeda, Higa, Maki, Tomori, and finally, Iranami to Kobashikawa’s right. The circle is large enough that some of the students can’t reach the pile being dealt for them, and Kobashikawa isn’t even trying to get their hands near them. Rather, once Kobashikawa has set down the remaining cards to be pulled from, Iranami starts passing stacks of cards down, with Hatano following suit after seeing what she’s doing.

Kobashikawa - Everyone have seven cards?

//Once the students have checked and confirmed, Kobashikawa leans forward, and flips over the first card- a red three.

Hatano - Uh- gimme a sec to sort through my cards…

//Hatano quickly arranges her cards, then places down a red +2.

Tsurugi - Oh! Are we playing where, if you have to draw, that takes up your turn, or like… does Uehara draw two, then play?

Hatano - The former, it’s better.

Kobashikawa - …We’re doing a vote-

Hatano - Over this?!

Kobashikawa - You can cede to me, if you don’t care.

Hatano - …

//Hatano raises her hand.

Hatano - All in favor of playing- uh, the version I’m for?

//Ōtori, Tomori, Maki, and Higa raise their hands. After a moment, they lower their hands, and Kobashikawa raises his- followed by Uehara, Tsurugi, Taira, and Maeda.

Hatano - It came out even…

Uehara - …Huh?

Uehara - It shouldn’t have. We have eleven people.

Hatano - We do?

Uehara - Mhm. Tomori said earlier, uh…

Uehara - Shit- when Tsurugi was talking about playing, Tomori said he needs to because we need over ten people.

Uehara - Just one person determines if we have over ten people, or exactly ten, meaning the count is ten-and-one, or, eleven.

Tomori - Ah, good maths!

Uehara - Hell yeah!

Ōtori - …You could also just… count.

Uehara - Dude, why do you keep doing this?

Hatano - Who didn’t vote?

Hatano - Uh… Iranami!

Iranami - …Sorry.

Hatano - C’mon! You’re the tiebreaker- you have to vote!

Iranami - …

Iranami - I’m on Kobashikawa’s side.

Hatano - …

//Hatano places her head in her hands, and groans.

Uehara - …Wait, it’s my move-

//Uehara draws two cards.

Uehara - So, we… democratically decided I can play, yeah?

Higa - Mhm.

Uehara - Got it…

~*~

Maeda - …Bullshit talent.

Maeda - Kobashikawa can take his “taking you to Vegas” joke and shove it.

//Maeda is still playing, and has a solid amount of cards in his hand. Kobashikawa, on the other hand, got out first- 

Kobashikawa, earlier - …Lol. Lmao, even.

//Followed by Iranami,

Iranami, earlier - …Sorry- draw four, I’ll change it to… I don’t know, blue?

//Then Tomori,

Tomori, earlier - I placed on the podium! It’s thanks to all those rounds against my old cheer squad…

//And Maki, 

Maki, earlier - Hah! Thanks, Hatano- that’s just the color I wanted.

//Then finally (for now), Ōtori.

Ōtori - Shouldn’t have played that plus two against me, Taira. I drew nothing but wild cards.

Taira - I knew that was going to backfire on me…

Taira - That’s what optimism and refusal to believe in premonitions gets you…

Maeda - …When did you use a plus two on him? We haven’t reversed in awhile.

//Taira plays, and Maeda starts looking for a card to use.

Taira - It was a while ago, Ōtori just kept getting skipped over.

Taira - Again, I had a bad feeling, so I kept trying to skip him, so someone would hit him with a plus two, or a plus four…

//Maeda plays a card.

Taira - Great job of that, by the way, Tsurugi.

Tsurugi - Well I had a premonition that I shouldn’t have hit Ōtori with drawing anymore cards, so…

//The game goes on.

Tomori - …

//Tomori suddenly looms over the group, visibly dismayed. 

Hatano - What’s up?

Tomori - …You all aren’t finishing any time soo-

Uehara - Fuck you.

Tsurugi - Draw four!

Uehara - I’m drawing four!

Taira - …I’m sorry for what I said about your Uno decisions. I no longer have an issue with how you choose to play your cards.

Tsurugi - Does anyone have a reverse?

Taira - Don’t.

Uehara - I probably have one somewhere…

Tsurugi - Mmm…

Tomori - …

//Maeda looks up just in time to see Tomori walking away from the group.

Tomori - Okay, winners game of…

Tomori - …What do you guys want to play?

Kobashikawa - Bored?

Tomori - Yeah- pick a game, Kobashikawa.

Kobashikawa - …

Tomori - …This one?

//Kobashikawa shakes his head.

Tomori - This?

//Maeda strains to see what’s going on- Kobashikawa is trying to point at a game, with limited success.

Maeda - …He wouldn’t be having this issue if he hadn’t been an asshole and played all his cards.

//Kobashikawa has resorted to his usual tactic of “throw marker”, years of practice paying off well, as always.

Tomori - !

Tomori - …I feel like you’ve said before that you want to play Monopoly.

Taira - Maeda, your turn.

Maeda - Sorry!

//Maeda looks at the last card played, then his own card- and grabs the last card in the draw pile, which he can’t play.

Maeda - Gonna shuffle the cards real quick…

Tomori - Do you all want to play?

Ōtori - I’ll play-

Tomori - Ōtori, you should be the banker! Because, like, your talent is all about finances…

Ōtori - I’m going to launder money.

Tomori - I’m glad you know how to play true Monopoly already, then.

Kobashikawa - Is “true” Monopoly just illegal Monopoly?

Tomori - Yeah. You aren’t really playing unless you’re committing theft.

Tomori - …Right, Tsurugi?

Tsurugi - Uhhh… I wasn’t really listening, but… did you know that the most money lost to theft in the United States is wage theft?

Ōtori - Do you know about politics outside of the States?

Tsurugi - Yeah, but I don’t think it’s a great idea for me to be on camera talking about my love for…

Tsurugi - …I was gonna make a joke, but actually, I’m cutting myself off there. 

Tsurugi - Uno.

Maeda -  Taira, please tell me you have a draw two you can use.

//Taira hums.

Tomori - Maki, Iranami, are you two playing?

Maki - I guess I’ll try…

Iranami - …I think I’m good…

Maki - Isn’t it true that like… Monopoly was originally meant to be played with different rules that led to a better experience? As a model of some… economic theory?

Tomori - I’d say look it up, but…

Kobashikawa - I’m pretty sure that’s right. I don’t remember the details, but I know it was originally made by a lady- in England, I think- and there was a whole mess with patents.

Tomori - Huh.

//It’s silent for a moment, as the students playing Uno are yet continuing their game, and the students playing Monopoly work on setting up their own game.

Tsurugi - …

//Tsurugi plays his final card.

Tsurugi - Hah!

Uehara - Damn… gonna go play Monopoly?

Tsurugi - I’ll watch…

Tomori - …Iranami, remember when we played Sorry last night?

Iranami - Yeah?

Tomori - Do you want to play like that again?

Tomori - If you just play for a bit now, then it’ll be like… a team account that other people can play with later- you won’t have to sit through the whole game.

Iranami - …

Iranami - Okay…

Tomori - Hooray! The more the merrier…

//Tsurugi was about to go and sit down by the people playing Monopoly… but shifts back, and sits right where he’d been while playing Uno.

Maeda - If Taira doesn’t change the color, I can probably use the rest of my red-

//Taira plays down a wild card.

Taira - Yellow.

Maeda - …

Maeda - Damn it.

//Maeda uses his own wild card, and immediately changes it back to red.

Higa - …

//Higa plays- and once again, time passes, as the two groups of students play.

Maeda - I wonder what everyone else has in their hand…

//Maeda looks around- Uehara in particular has a lot of cards, predominantly from one bad streak where he just couldn’t draw a card he could play. Now though, he’s far from short on cards, and quickly plays, followed by Taira.

Hatano - !

Hatano - Ah!

Maeda - …?

//Taira has changed the color once again, going from green to blue, and sparking Hatano’s reaction. Maeda plays a blue card- he’s hesitant to do so, since Hatano has one card left, but doesn’t have anything else he can play.

Higa - …That’s an eight, right?

Maeda - Yeah.

//Higa puts down a red eight.

Hatano - !

//Hatano plays her last card- a blue eight.

Hatano - Let’s go!

Iranami - …Hatano, did you just play your last card!

Hatano - Yeah!

Hatano - Coming in… wow, dead center, actually…

Tomori - Hatano, do you want to come play Monopoly?

Hatano - Nah, I’m good- really not a fan…

Iranami - …

//Tsurugi is still hanging out around the Uno group- at least, he’s in the general vicinity. At one point he took Iranami’s place playing Monopoly for a bit, but that was only brief, and he’s long been back. Currently, he’s doing… something or other with the shelves by his bed- or maybe he’s looking through his nightstand? Maeda is a bit preoccupied, as he and the other Uno players are focused on their game…

Uehara - Uh, here- Ah! Wait, uh, nevermind… give me a second…

//…At least, mostly… Uehara’s having a bit of a rough time, as he still hasn’t been able to make a dent in the amount of cards he has.

Maeda - …I’ll bet it’s just getting worse for him, as time goes on.

Maeda - Which makes sense, right? If all he has is number cards, that means the cards that are getting shuffled are more likely to be action cards.

Maeda - So, even if someone else has to draw, they’re more likely to draw an action card, and he’s more likely to be skipped, or have to draw, because there aren't as many people.

Maeda - But, who knows, maybe all he has is wild cards and draw  fours, and he’s just making really bad choices.

//Tsurugi turns, and looks at Uehara.

Tsurugi - …

Tsurugi - You have so many cards, Uehara…

Tsurugi - Can I- guys, is it okay if I go through Uehara’s cards real quick? I won’t tell him what to play, I just wanna help organize.

Higa - …

Maeda - Yeah, go for it Tsurugi.

Uehara - Thanks…

//Tsurugi smiles- but it quickly drops, as he becomes focused on taking Uehara’s cards and organizing them. Uehara keeps a few, but most are passed to Tsurugi, who quickly starts flipping through them. Maeda, lacking anything else to do, watches Tsurugi sort, shifting different cards to be held in place by different fingers- 

Tsurugi - …

//Then quickly nudging at Uehara, and doing his best to wave a few cards at him. Uehara takes the cards Tsurugi’s offering, and passes the remainder of his cards to Tsurugi, who goes back to sorting.

Uehara - …Forgot I had these-

//Uehara plays one of his cards.

Maeda - …

//Taira sets down one of her cards- Maeda checks to confirm the card he wants to play is still viable, then places it on top of Tairas. Higa goes as well, bringing play back to Uehara, who’s a bit more prepared now (though Tsurugi is still straightening out some cards), and is able to quickly play a card again.

Taira - Back to you, Uehara.

Uehara - Ah, yeah, alright-

//Uehara sets down another card, which is immediately followed by one of Higas.

Higa - …Reversing it again.

//Uehara plays once more.

Maeda - …Assuming his cards are organized by color, and he’s holding all of his blues, then he’s almost out…

//Taira plays- a blue five.

Maeda - …

//Maeda looks at his cards, and elects to ignore his blue cards, instead, playing a yellow five.

Higa - …Cool.

//Higa places down a yellow skip- which Maeda now notices is his last card.

Higa, leaving - Have fun.

Uehara - …That skips me, right?

Taira - Mhm. My turn.

//Taira begins drawing cards- after she has to draw a few times, Maeda leans forward, and moves the deck to be closer to her, then shifts his spot to account for the amount of people that have left the circle.

Maeda - Just us now, so, no problem with moving it.

Taira - Mhm…

//Taira continues to draw- then eventually, grabs and plays a green skip.

Taira - Your turn, Uehara.

Uehara - Got it…

//Uehara sorts through his cards briefly, before settling on what he wants to play- a green reverse.

Maeda - …Second time I’m missing out on a turn.

//The three remaining students continue with their game, turns passing quick enough that Maeda doesn’t pay any attention to the round of Monopoly going on. Tsurugi stays sitting by Uehara, watching the game, and looking over Uehara’s shoulder at his cards- not offering any help, just looking. Eventually…

Taira - Uno.

Maeda - …

//Maeda looks at their cards- Taira does in fact, have one card left. He has a solid five or six, and Uehara… has many.

Maeda - …It’s not that Uehara can’t make a surprise come back, but…

Uehara - I’m starting to wonder if we should call it quits…

Taira - …

//Taira tosses down her final card- it’s green, which is all Maeda needs to see to know that if the game had continued, she likely would’ve been able to play it on her next turn, as he’d have no plans to change the color, and it’s likely Uehara wouldn’t have either.

Maeda - Yeah…

//He tosses down his own cards for everyone to see- three green, two yellow, and a blue.

Uehara - …

//Uehara organizes all his cards into one deck, then sets it down face-up, and dramatically lays them all out in one swooping motion.

Uehara - Voi-fucking-la.

Tsurugi - What a cool magic trick! 

Uehara - I’m so cool…

//Uehara is already in the process of laying down on the mattress.

Uehara - I get why you two wanted to give it up. It was really obvious I was about to win, so…

Uehara - Had one card left, and it was a wild! Victory was inevitable!

Maeda - I didn’t hear you say Uno, so that’s plus two.

Uehara - …

Uehara - La-la-la, I can’t hear you, la-la-la, you’re jealous of meee…

Tomori - Kobashikawa, I swear to god, I am never letting you pick a game ever again.

Maki - It doesn’t end… It just does not end…

Higa - That’s one of the issues with Monopoly- player elimination is a problem when the game is so long. It takes forever for people to get out, and someone to win, which is frustrating,

Higa - Not to mention, it’s a game of luck, not skill- even more so than many dice games. This makes the length worse, as

Maki - Higa, your turn. Roll.

Higa - …

Maki - I will roll for you if you don’t go now.

Higa - Alright, calm down…

//Maeda hears the familiar sound of dice hitting a board- before it’s drowned out by a cacophony of shrieks and screams. The students all begin talking, too fast, and too many of them for Maeda to work out what’s going on.

Taira - …

Taira - Do… you want to go see what’s happening?

Maeda - Getting involved in drama never had any negative impacts for anyone, right?

Taira - Right…

//Maeda arranges all the cards into one stack and slides them back into the box while Taira goes to look at the Monopoly board. It isn’t long before Maeda joins her and the majority of the class, but…

Maeda - …I have no clue what I’m looking at.

//Maeda’s Monopoly knowledge is failing him. Ōtori, Tomori, Kobashikawa, Maki, and Higa are all currently sitting at the board, doing their best to surround the four-sides equally. Maeda is behind Ōtori, who’s next to Tomori, with Maki on her other side, and Hatano looking over Maki’s shoulder. Iranami is furthest away, sitting across from Maeda- in front of her, and much closer, is Kobashikawa, with the last participant, Higa, sitting between Ōtori and Kobashikawa.

Maki - Can I just…

Maki - Is there any way I can intentionally bankrupt myself? 

Tomori - …I want so badly to tell you that that’s not in the spirit of the game, and to stay motivated and find something about this to enjoy…

Tomori - …

Tomori - But I can’t.

Tomori - It’s- we’re just playing endlessly at this point, and for what reason?

Tomori - Ōtori is going to win. This is obvious. There is no ending of this where Ōtori doesn’t win.

Kobashikawa - …Revolution?

Higa - …

Higa - ………

Tomori - …

Tomori - Have you ever played Monopoly before, Higa? This is kinda par for the course, but…

Higa - …

//Maeda and Tomori exchange a look.

Higa - …There’s no…

Higa - …There’s essentially just… no way you can come back from it once you don’t have the most property.

Maeda - …

//Once again, Maeda and Tomori look at each other- but now, rather than apprehensive, they’re both curious.

Higa - Once you start having to pay others instead of buying property yourself-

Higa - Though, we do start with the same amount of money, so really, it’s about how well you use it…

Maeda - We’re losing him.

Tomori - Yeah, but that’s the dumb thing about Monopoly- it’s just about luck. 

Higa - …

Maeda - …I think I just witnessed Higa’s first moment of feeling like maybe, the system may be flawed.

Maeda - Monopoly is far from a perfect example, but still.

//Kobashikawa rolls, and begins to ask-

Kobashikawa - Tomori, could you move my piece for m-

Hatano - !

//When he’s interrupted by Hatano yawning loudly.

Tomori - …

Tomori - Tired?

Ōtori - Damn…

Hatano - I guess- I didn’t realize…

Tomori - It is getting a bit late, huh…

Maki - Only, uh, nine or so…

Tomori - …Is there a clock in here?

Maki - Ōtori has a watch on.

Ōtori - You can see that?!

Maki - Shitty angle, so I guessed.

Ōtori - Ah… Maki’s right, though, it’s 8:54 right now.

Tomori - Mmm…

Hatano, embarrassed - I don’t think I’m going to fall asleep right now…

Taira - We should probably start winding down though- everyone has the things they need to sleep, right?

Hatano - …Oh, shit! I don’t have a hair tie…

Maeda - Is your hair long enough to tie back?

Hatano - Mhm… I was meant to get it cut the weekend after orientation, but…

Tsurugi - Do you want me to cut it for you?!

Tomori - Do you cut hair often, Tsurugi?

Tsurugi - I cut my own whenever I want it trimmed…

Hatano - …

Tsurugi - Which! I just cut it the way I like it- I could probably manage taking a bit of the length from your hair, Hatano…

Hatano - …Maybe…

Maeda - Right, she still needs a hair tie-

//Despite giving a hair tie to Maki earlier, Maeda still has more than enough to give away. He goes to pull one off his wrist when-

Iranami - …

//Iranami pulls on one of the tails of her ribbon, undoing her ponytail, sending her hair cascading down.

Iranami - Do you want to use my ribbon, Hatano?

Hatano - …Wait, for real?!

Iranami - Mhm. I don’t see any issue with it…

Hatano - No, there’s no problem! I’m just surprised, that’s all…

//Hatano takes the ribbon from Iranami, and looks at it.

Hatano - Thank you…

Iranami - Of course. 

Iranami - …You’re my friend, Hatano. What’s mine is yours.

Hatano - Aww…

//Hatano… continues to look at the ribbon.

Iranami - …

Hatano - …

Iranami - …Do you know how to use a ribbon to tie up hair?

Hatano - … I do not.

Iranami - Come here then, let me show you. I haven’t worked with hair short like yours before, but I’ll work it out.

//Hatano quickly darts over to where Iranami’s been sitting- actually, it’s already rather close to where Hatano’s bedding wound up.

Tomori - Let’s finish this and start doing something else, then…

Ōtori - Did you bring the projector?

Tomori - Yeah!

Ōtori - Let’s put a movie on, then, at least in the background.

Taira - Can I go pick something out?

Tomori - Oh, go for it! The movies are, uh… wherever Tsurugi put the projector.

Taira - Got it.

//Taira gets up, and goes over to Tsurugi, presumably to ask him where the projector and the movies are.

Maki - ...Fuck it. I cede.

Higa - Giving up?

Maki - Dude, you said it was a losing game! Do you seriously feel like sitting here and slowly going broke for the next four hours?

Higa - …

Higa - There’s certainly better ways I could be spending my time, that’s true.

//Higa rises, and steps away from the board.

Higa - If anyone else wants to play, step up now, be my guest.

//Higa walks off.

Maeda - …Where is he even going to go. Is he seriously going to go to his bed, near Tsurugi and Uehara?

Maeda - Anyways…

Tomori - …I’m bowing out of the game.

Kobashikawa - I am not.

Ōtori - …Got a strategy here, Kobashikawa?

Kobashikawa - Mhm.

//Tomori stacks up her money- and hands it to Kobashikawa.

Kobashikawa - Tomori’s donating her net worth to me- each and every asset.

Ōtori - That’s dumb, you can’t do that.

Kobashikawa - In game terms, she’s auctioning them to a closed audience of me, and I’m bidding zero dollars.

Maeda - …

Maeda - I’ll take the class’s assets- the one started by Iranami? I’d like to take control of those, and donate them to Kobashikawa.

Ōtori - That’s bullshit!

Kobashikawa - That’s the power of the collective.

Ōtori - You’re still an individual hoarding capital- you’re leaving them with nothing, don’t act like you aren’t part of the system!

Kobashikawa - …You stole money from the bank.

Ōtori - What?!

Ōtori - Maeda’s been watching me!

Kobashikawa - Not now, earlier!

Kobashikawa - You shouldn’t have been able to afford that final purple square- when you bought it, no one had landed on any of your properties, you shouldn’t have had the money!

Ōtori - Bullshit-

Kobashikawa - No! Because I landed on it my next turn, and if you look at how many times we’d gone around the board-

Ōtori - Oh fuck this-

Ōtori - If we play by normal person rules, I win, if we play by your- your capricious rules, then you win. Monopoly doesn’t have choices, it has luck and outcomes.

Ōtori - We can already tell how it’ll end, it’s just a matter of knowing what we’re playing by.

Kobashikawa - …

//Kobashikawa pushes the pieces in his reach towards Ōtori, trying to tell him to pack up the game. Ōtori understands, and does as such.

Maeda - …Are they… actually fighting over this?

//Maeda watches as Kobashikawa turns away from Ōtori.

Maeda - …Damn.

//Maeda moves to sit by Kobashikawa, as he does, Ōtori finishes putting everything away. Maeda reaches Kobashikawa, then Ōtori stands, and goes to put the box away.

Maeda - Kobashikawa, hey-

Maeda - …Oh my god.

Kobashikawa - Shh!

//Maeda realizes very quickly just why Kobashikawa turned away so suddenly. He took a few pieces of money from what he’d gotten in the game, and is folding them, quicker than Maeda can understand just what folds he’s making where. By the time Ōtori has walked past them, and over to where the games have been set, Kobashikawa has made a paper airplane, and folded a piece of paper to launch it with.

Maeda - …

//Maeda watches, rapt, as Kobashikawa quickly uses one hand to… work out the angle, or determine the height, or whatever it is he’s doing- before launching the airplane. It’s all so fast that it’s in the air before Ōtori turns back around, and the airplane goes so quickly, so precisely, that it lands, and sticks, nose in the collar of Ōtori’s shirt.

Maeda - Holy shit.

Maeda - Holy shit!

Kobashikawa - …

//Kobashikawa shifts towards Maeda- makes eye contact with him, then quickly drops it, lowering his gaze to the floor, and putting his hands in his lap- hiding the launcher as Ōtori walks by. Kobashikawa looks back up, briefly, and widens his eyes at Maeda- who gets the message (though he can’t quite word what it is), and similarly ignores Ōtori.

Maeda - …

//However, once Ōtori walks by, Maeda can’t help but sneak a glance up- confirming that the little airplane is still there.

Maeda - Damn…

Taira - …Tsurugi, can I move your stuff to make room for the projector?

Tsurugi - …My things shouldn’t be anywhere in the way?

Tsurugi - Where do you want to put the projector?

Taira - I don’t know yet, I just figured I’d ask.

Tsurugi - Mmm…

//Maeda turns to look at Tsurugi- he’s leaning with his right arm against his nightstand, and- it seems he found his black nail polish, as he’s currently painting Uehara’s nails.

Maeda- What did you pick, Taira?

Taira - Howl’s Moving Castle. First one I saw that I recognized.

Maeda - Solid pick.

Taira - Mhm…

Iranami - …I think the projector should be facing the door.

Iranami - If it isn’t facing the door, or facing the opposite wall, it probably won’t work with where people’s heads will go.

Taira - Oh, true…

Taira - I’ll see if there’s a way I can set it up to face the door.

//Taira walks off- ending up by the footboard of Tsurugi’s bed-

Maeda - Oh, that’s where Higa went off to.

Maeda - …

Maeda - I’m going to go get in my bed, then- just so I’m not sitting in the middle of everything awkwardly.

Maeda - …Nice shot, Kobashikawa.

//Kobashikawa smiles- and seeing that Maeda’s leaving, goes to his bed as well. It seems that most of the class has had the same idea- if they aren’t already in their bed area, like Higa and Tomori, they’ve still tucked away somewhere. There’s no longer any games going on, and though there’s a few conversations, it seems like everyone is calming down.

Taira - Alright, this should…

//Suddenly, the projectors menu is displayed on the wall with Tsurugi’s door.

Taira - There! 

Hatano - Yayyy…

Tsurugi - …If people are going to start falling asleep, we should probably close the door…

Tomori - Oh, true-

//Maeda sees Tomori get up, and go shut the door. As she does, Taira works on the projector, until eventually, the movie begins.

Maeda - …

Maeda - I’m not really tired…

//A bit of movement catches Maeda’s eye- Kobashikawa is shifting around, and accidentally makes eye contact with Maeda.

Maeda - …

Kobashikawa - …

Maeda - …

//Maeda raises both hands, index finger up on each. 

Maeda, silently - Chopsticks?

//Kobashikawa nods, before quickly turning, and rearranging his pillows to be more comfortable.

Maeda - Those damned pillows…

//Kobashikawa turns back around, and mirrors Maeda’s hands. Maeda points his right hand at Kobashikawa’s left, and the two go back and forth. Some time passes, with Maeda winning a game, and the two starting to play again, when-

Maeda - It’s so quiet…

//Maeda realizes that the class is truly starting to fall asleep. He glances over, and sees that Higa has gone to where he’s meant to sleep, while Tomori’s still off and about- but beside the odd bit of movement, and a few hushed murmurs, the students all seem to be enjoying their movie-shaped bedtime story, and are beginning to doze off.

Maeda - I think it’s the atmosphere more than anything…

Maeda - It’s quiet, and comfortable… nice temperature, and despite how many people there are, it isn’t stuffy.

//Maeda makes a move against Kobashikawa-

Maeda - …Shit!

//And belatedly realizes he’s left himself wide-open to get knocked out of the round. Kobashikawa grins, and takes advantage of the opportunity Maeda’s given him. Maeda lowers his hand in defeat as Kobashikawa grins.

Uehara, quietly - …Ōtori, what’s the time?

Ōtori - Oh, uh… quarter until ten, why?

Uehara - …

//Maeda glances over, and sees Uehara move- it doesn’t seem to be of his own accord though, it seems more like he’s getting nudged, or pushed.

Kobashikawa - ?

//Maeda sees Kobashikawa in the corner of his eye, and looks back at him. Maeda raises his head once again, and Kobashikawa smiles as they begin a third round.

Maeda - Oh, I bet it was Tsurugi and Uehara that’ve been talking…

//Maeda hears Uehara sigh.

Uehara - I think I’m going to head to the dining hall real quick, before it closes.

Tomori - Hungry?

//Tomori gets up, and sleepily-stumbles over to where her pillow and blanket have been left neglected. It’s obvious she’s about to fall asleep with how she’s trudging.

Uehara - Nah, I need to make some tea…

//Maeda points with two fingers at one of Kobashikawa’s hands, which has four. Kobashikawa lowers that hand.

Ōtori - Need?

Uehara - He’s acting silent like he has no clue what’s going on and isn’t involved, but it’s for Tsurugi, because he’s an asshole, and he won’t get up to make it himself.

//Kobashikawa “splits” his remaining hand, which had three fingers up- putting two on one hand, and one on the other.

Maeda - That’s not allowed!!!

//Maeda looks at Kobashikawa.

Kobashikawa - ?

//Maeda puts two fingers up on one hand, then splits it so there’s one on each hand. He then does the same again, but with four fingers, then two on each hand. After, he imitates Kobashikawa, putting three on one hand, then two and one- and makes a face at him.

Kobashikawa - …?!

//Kobashikawa understands, and firmly disagrees. Meanwhile, Uehara shifts and stretches, before standing up- the movie is briefly blocked as he darts across the room, but he crosses quickly, and stands by the door.

Uehara, louder - I’m going to the dining hall real quick, it’s going to close soon. Does anyone want to come?

//Maeda and Kobashikawa are bickering over the rules of chopsticks.

Higa - …

Higa - Yeah, I’ll go…

//Higa goes to join Uehara- he crosses between Kobashikawa and Maeda, redirecting Maeda’s attention. He watches Higa reach the door, and realizes that Iranami has joined Uehara as well.

Maeda - I’m fine with staying here…

//Maeda looks back to Kobashikawa… just in time to see Kobashikawa yawning. He blinks for a few seconds- it’s obvious he’s incredibly tired.

Maeda - …

//Kobashikawa looks at Maeda, and wakes up a bit. 

Kobashikawa - !

//Maeda looks at Kobashikawa again- then points to his own pillow, trying to tell Kobashikawa to go to sleep.

Kobashikawa - …!

//Kobashikawa shakes his head- he’s fine, they can keep playing! Maeda stays firm though, and Kobashikawa gives in quickly.

Ōtori - …I’ll come too, just give me a second…

//Kobashikawa smiles at Maeda, and lies down- the lighting is dim, so it’s a bit hard to see, but Maeda believes Kobashikawa has already closed his eyes. 

Maeda - “Fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow”…

Maeda - That’s something you see a lot in books, right?

//Maeda grabs his pillow, and tosses it so it’s against the wall, then lies down.

Maeda - …

Ōtori - Okay, I’m ready.

//Ōtori gets up, and joins the group by the door- Uehara’s already opening said door, and beginning to leave the room.

Tsurugi - Go ahead and leave the door open, just while you’re gone-

Tsurugi - People are still awake, so it’s fine…

Uehara - Got it.

//Kobashikawa sits up, and yawns once again.

Maeda - …?

//…Then, Kobashikawa stands, and stumbles after the group going to the dining hall.

Maeda - …Bitch. I bet he was faking because he knew he was wrong, and wanted to get out of the conversation.

Maeda - …

Maeda - He probably just wants a snack, but…

//Maeda shifts a bit, getting more comfortable in his bedding…

Maeda - …Oh my god, don’t I still have food?

//Maeda sits bolt upright, and begins searching for his plate- soon finding it half-under his blanket.

Maeda - …Huh.

//Maeda has his own late-night snack, shutting his brain off for a bit as he eats.

Maeda - …

//Maeda lies back down.

Maeda - I had fun today. It was really nice to spend time with everyone…

//Time passes.Maeda glances about the room, more because there isn’t anything to do than for any other purpose. Hatano, Maki, and Tomori, all seem to be either asleep, or falling asleep- Maeda can’t quite see any of their faces, but they all seem to be relaxed and still. Taira sticks out like a sore thumb compared to them- she’s sitting up, blanket pooled around her feet as she draws. It seems that she’s taken some of the colored pens Iranami was using earlier, and now, lacking her usual jeans, she’s taken to drawing on her legs.

Maeda - I remember my teachers telling me I was going to get ink poisoning if I drew on my skin when I was little…

Maeda - I was always really distracted in class. I wonder why Taira draws so much…

Maeda glances away, eyes naturally falling directly in front of himself, to where Tsurugi is. Similar to Taira, he’s sitting up, but unlike Taira, it seems that he’s struggling to stay awake. He’s leaning against the wall instead of sitting on his mattress, and has his knees drawn up- Tsurugi isn’t curled up, rather, it seems his knees are there so he has something to rest his arms on. Maeda watches as Tsurugi toys with his fingers and hands, likely a bid at fighting off sleep as he waits for Uehara.

Maeda - …

Maeda - If he’s tired, should I go talk with him, try and keep him awake until Uehara gets back?

Maeda - Or, actually… Taira’s closer, maybe I should ask her about what she’s drawing…

Maeda - …

Maeda - …Honestly? I’m content just sitting here…

Maeda - I’m still not really tired, but that doesn’t mean I have to go socialize- I’m fine to spend a bit of time by myself…

//Maeda readjusts his blanket, getting more comfortable, and…

Maeda - …

//He yawns a bit.

Maeda - ‘M not tired…

Maeda - …

Maeda - …Really, it’s still early in the night, I bet… hardly the time I’d usually fall asleep…

Maeda - … Ssnzz…

Maeda - Zzzznn…

Maeda - …

Maeda - Still… awake…

Maeda - …

//The light coming in from the hallway seems to flicker- he hears quiet voices, and thus reasons that it’s the dining hall students coming back. A quick glance to the doorway confirms the presence of silhouettes.

Maeda - …’S so bright…

Maeda - Snsszzz…

//Maeda faintly registers the sound of the dorm room door shutting, and it’s as though that was the cue his brain was waiting for to finally shut down…

Maeda - …

~*~

Maeda, narrating - …Zssznzzzz…

Maeda - Nzzss…

Maeda - …Szznnn…

Maeda - …

Maeda - Szzzz…

Unfortunately, her lawful good nature meant she was all too willing to return a lost phone to an apartment. She didn't plan that.

There is a chance that certain dogs could become allergic to shrimp. However, only approximately 10% of dog allergies bring on by nutrition. I recommend, do not give prawns to your dog very often, though, if it has a history of food allergies. can dog eat prawn crackers: Prawn crackers are a particularly unhealthy "reward" to feed your puppy even if they have less calories and fat than chips. They are not harmful, though, and dogs can eat them. This means that your dog shouldn't get hurt if he smacks a dropped prawn cracker while you are hidden in a snack bar.

A trip to the clinic may be necessary if your dog has ingested them or is vomiting in any other way and his condition does not get better. If you're unsure, a veterinarian may typically be of great assistance. Warning The warning here is that typical prawn seasonings like garlic or onions may be poisonous to your dog. When feeding prawns to your dog, avoid eating the dipping sauces yourself. When serving prawns, be mindful of your dog's size because larger breeds might be able to manage the whole prawn, but a smaller dog might not.

MEAT TIER LIST BREAKDOWN

Some facts about me before we start: I have a mild allergy to the seasoning they put on store bought seafood, so I can only eat certain brands. This may affect the final results. I have an Iron deficiency, and crave red meat. This may affect the final results.

S TIER:

Steak: Steak is probably my favorite meat of all time. I don’t think there’s a single moment in my life I ever went ‘hm, I’m not feeling steak right now’. You can cook it any way, and it’ll be delicious. Though personally, my favorite is grilled with a bit of steak sauce. If it’s well done, then you have a perfect stir fry add on. If it’s medium, then you’ve got a good steak! Rare? It’s juicy, and tender! Blue? A risk taker, I see, though you have good taste. And the best part about steak is undoubtably the juice it leaves. When you’ve finished your steak, you have a whole plate of tasty red juice you can put on baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, broccoli, or eat by itself! I love steak. 10/10

Crab: I grew up on the beach, so I’ve been eating freshly caught crab since I was little. I used to make my parents cut the eyes off the crab before I cracked it open with a hammer because it made me feel bad to see it looking at me, but now that I look back on it that makes me feel worse?? Anyways, most of the crab is pretty meh, but woah, that hidden meat. It’s the tiny bit of meat at the butt end of the crab, right under the gills, and it’s fucking godly. It’s sweet, and savory, and amazing. Don’t just go out and buy it from the store, you have to eat it freshly boiled to really experience the hidden meat. I believe it’s normally called jumbo lump, but I always called it hidden meat. Anyways, eating crab is an experience you should have in your life time. 9/10

Shrimp: I. Fucking. Love. SHRIMP. I love shrimp. I love how fun they are to eat, I love their stupid little crust you have to eat around, I love them. Buy a ring from the grocery store (I’m allergic to the bag kind), pop em’ in some hot water to melt the ice, and eat up. They’re amazing. Any time I’ve had a new food I love, and didn’t know what was in it, it always ended up being shrimp. Unfortunately, a point is deducted for being bugs and having the legs that make me squimish. 8/10

A TIER:

Brotwursts: Brotwursts are just better sausages. They’re big, enough for a whole meal on their own, and they always cook up nice. Also, whenever I eat them, I hear ‘Doofenshmirtz quality brotwursts’ jingle in my mind. 7/10

Chicken: It’s chicken. Everyone’s had chicken. It ranges in quality, but it’s never bad. You know what chicken tastes like, and chicken is A tier. 7/10

Filet Mignon: I’m gonna be honest, I’m not a fan of filet mignon. I always buy it on special occasions because it’s expensive and it feels good to ball out (by ball out I mean spend twenty dollars on a steak), but it’s just mid. It has a noticably different flavor than a standard ribeye or new york strip, but it’s just… eh. It’s more tender, but it’s lacks that oomph that other steaks have. I feel like if I drank wine with it and pretended I was eating out, then it would be better, but wine gives me headaches. 6/10

Mushrooms: I like mushrooms. Stuffed mushrooms, breaded mushrooms, they’re all good. My standard way of cooking them is with salt and pepper and a bit of worcestershire sauce. They’re a good side, especially with steak, but they could never be their own meal. I haven’t had mushrooms such as the chicken of the woods or the giant puffball like I’ve seen reccomended in foraging circles, only the grocery store white kind and some porterbellas I wasn’t a fan of, but I’ll update this when I do finally get my hands on some. 7/10

B TIER:

Hamburger: I like hamburgers. Granted, my standard order is only two buns and a patty, maybe with some cheese if I’m feeling frisky. I’ve never had a homemade patty that I really enjoyed, though. They’re always either oozing juice or burnt to a crisp. And while there is an argument for both of those, I don’t want to take a bit of my burger and have a tsunami hit the back of my throat. 6/10

Ham: When most people cook ham, they always either make a honey glazed, or an unseasoned ham. While honey glazed is good, It’s a bit too sweet for my taste, and unseasoned is boring. But! I do love deli meat ham. Paper thin slices off the bone ham is to die for, I buy like three or four pounds at a time just because I know I’m going to end up eating entire bags in one sitting. 6/10

Salmon: I’m not a salmon fan yet. Every time I eat salmon, I start to like it a little bit more. It’s got a very refreshing taste, but my favorite is with a bit of lemon juice. And by a bit I mean a lot. Girly is SOAKED when I finally get a forkful. I also like how it just pulls apart, it makes my lizard brain happy especially since cutting the food is the worst part of a meal. Someday salmon will be up there, but right now, it’s just okay. 5/10

Salami: Salami tastes pretty good. It’s a nice type of sausage, and I like to eat it as a snack, but my beef is with PEPPERONI. I always eat too much and it makes my mouth hurt because I’m a wimp with no spice tolerance :( 6/10

C TIER:

Chicken Patty: I’m going to count chicken nuggets for this one as well. Chicken burgers are okay, not great by any means, but fine. Chicken nuggets are also really good. But you eat so many of them and they stop tasting like chicken anymore, and start tasting like hunger. I’m pretty sure I’m 50% chicken nugget at this point, and I don’t even know if I like them. 5/10

Lobster: If someone unsuccesfully tried to fuse crab and shrimp. I had it once at a club and I genuinely can’t place a single adjective to describe it’s taste. Like, I’d eat it if I was hungry enough, but it also made me throw up on the way home. 4/10

Pork Chop: I hate pork chops, straight up. I actually went pork free for a while because of a bad experience with a pork chop, but I said it was for a diet cause I’m a fake ass little bitch like that. It’s always either dry or juicy, and neither works for it. The fat doesn’t cook off, and it just makes me sad. I’ve never had a good pork chop, and probably never will, but at least it’s not the worst form of pork. 4/10

Rib: Okay, imagine with me. You’re in a really loud restaurant with your parents as a teenager, and your ears hurt and you’re tired and the lights are too bright, and nothing on the menu looks good. Eventually, a waitress comes up to you, and asks what your table wants. Everyone places their orders, and when she finally gets to you, you stumble through thoughts and just say ‘the ribs’. Half an hour later, your ribs get there and you cry. Because this night just got worse. They’re either dry (a common symptom of meat on this list), or slathered in sauce. Pray it’s not the latter, or else you’ll end up running to the bathroom to wash a metric fuckton of sauce off your mouth and hands and neck that leaves you with a rash for days. After fiddling with how to hold your rack of ribs, you finally take a bite and… it’s fucking mid. It’s mid. It tastes like pork pretending to be steak. It hurts to eat, because you have to unhinge your jaw around the bone and nibble bits of meat off, and you end up absolutely stuffed after just two of the four. 4/10

D TIER:

Bacon: Bacon sucks. It’s the unhealthiest part of the pig, for one. And for another, it’s not even tasty. It tastes like grease. If you cook it for too long, it’s crumbly. If you don’t cook it long enough, it’s flimsy. If you somehow manage to time it to the microsecond and cook it perfectly, congrats! It’s still fucking shit. It tastes disapointing, and that is the worst crime. 3/10

Bologna: Be honest, have you ever enjoyed bologna? We all had the same pack in the fridge when we were kids, yellow backdrop and all. And there was always that one kid who for some reason wreaked of bologna?? It’s not even a strong smelling food like dude how did you end up like that??? Deli ham is superior. 2/10

Turkey: Why do we celebrate thanksgiving with a turkey. It sucks. It feels like a sad food. Even if it’s not the breast, even deli turkey sucks. You can taste the poor living conditions of the bird. 3/10

F TIER:

Hotdogs: Everyone looks at hotdogs in the store and thinks ‘wow hotdogs yum’, and they buy a pack, and when they get home, it’s always upsetting. It tastes like what’s in it, be it boiled steamed or fried, pig heart and cow liver. 2/10

Spam: Meat should not come in a can meat should not come in a can meat should not come in a can meat should 1/10

Have you ever had another form? Or have you only ever been and ever will be

“I have had many forms. For the readers who have been here the longest they may remember my scrapped human form. But I prefer this shrimp form. It’s humorous and fun! Though some times I’ll transform to the human form for Stanley’s sake….for visual appeal. Even then he’s allergic to me for some reason but it’s just how it is”

“I could transform into any shape you could dream up. Any form beyond man made comprehension. But I choose things that are easy to take in for the sake of others around me… my truest form… my pure form is one that drives living beings mad with one look… and I wouldn’t even want to risk that with my dear Stanley.”
