cocktailparty | hey! i think you're really cool, i like you a lot! we should hang out or something

HOW IT WORKS:

► STEP 1 | Post a comment with a character that's not in HH as if they're already in the setting; alternative version, post character who is in HH. Scenarios if you need 'em!
► STEP 2 | Tag around and get a feel for your characters, whether you're just voice testing or planning to actually app them in!
► STEP 3 | Post this all over your plurk and get people to join in on this jolly good fun. Don't forget: it's mandatory.

copypasta as per usual

ENABLE MEME

There are multiple ways to use this post:
PLAYERS IN GAME: post who you'd like to play next round or who you're unsure of playing, and then let other people ~~auction your soul off at an affordable price~~ gently push you into the direction of actually apping them come the new app cycle (concrete details later on that).
OR YOU COULD: Ask for castmates, be you in a cast or a lone canon warrior. Think of it like a kind of in game ATP ad.
IF YOU DON'T EVEN GO HERE: You might want to? If you do, feel free to post with your account, a picture, whatever you want and let us take you under our wing so you can be a part of our large, rowdy family.

So let the fun begin!

It's....hard to explain? [ a.k.a. bokuto really doesn't know how to explain it. he never really was curious enough to try and find an answer as to how all of this was possible in the first place, and especially now that akaashi's asking him about it he realizes just how much he never bothered to figure out.

it's not until akaashi mentions being with him at practice, seeing him fifteen or so minutes ago, that bokuto's heart stops for a second. just one second, where he misses home and his friends and the team and akaashi all so desperately, so intensely, it's impossible to completely hide away.

but then the second is gone, and bokuto's shaking his head, then stopping, then stroking at his chin as he looks over dramatically thoughtful. ] I mean, I haven't been here before. I've just been here! Time is weird- or something. I don't really understand it, but you're never really gone back home. It's like the zap you here and then when the Landlord is done with you he zaps you back in that exact spot! No one even notices.

[ and there it is again - that kind of empty smile. that awkward silence where bokuto is definitely, totally, chipper and upbeat as always. ]

But I've been here a while, so I can show you around. C'mon! [ and then he's just taking his hand off akaashi's shoulder and looping his arm through akaashi's instead, pulling him along. ]

[ okay, this is just weirder and weirder and akaashi is definitely uncomfortable with this now. it's not just the whole, 'you've been kidnapped and it makes no sense!!' thing either, it's the whole way bokuto seems... off. like it's not actually the same person he saw at practice not so long ago, which could be true for all akaashi knows at this point. there's no way bokuto could've been here while he's been at practice, right?

seriously, none of this makes sense and his pure confusion must be clear on his face. akaashi has a pretty confident grasp on basic physics and he's pretty sure this is not how anything works. or should work. ]

Landlord, what--?

[ the rest of the question disappears on his tongue when he sees that look on his face. it's the second time he's ever seen and it's all in the last minute. it's the strangest thing akaashi has ever seen and akaashi has seen a lot of shit from bokuto. he wants to say something about it but bokuto is quicker, dragging him along. great. ]

Wait, Bokuto-san, where are we going?

[ and it's not that bokuto notices, necessarily, that akaashi is on to him - as much as he likes to think he can read akaashi better than that, he really just isn't that great at reading people - he knows something is up. something he doesn't want to be up. so he very pointedly moves the conversation forward, tucks his elbow in akaashi's and starts to move them along.

yup! right along this neighborhood street. totally normal. ]

Yeah! The Landlord. He's the one who owns all the houses, brings us here, deals with everything. He's pretty okay- he is letting Kuroo and I start a frat. So he's kind of alright? Besides the kidnapping bit, that's not cool. [ but bokuto doesn't seem bothered, babbling along and point stuff out while they walk. it's akaashi's question that pulls his eyes back to him, laughing like it's obvious. ]

My house! I want to show you the volleyball court!

[ bokuto no. not like this. this isn't normal at all.

he follows along if only to keep bokuto from dragging him along, hoping that somehow this is just some kind of bizarro dream.

...and oh god, this landlord must be an idiot if they let bokuto and kuroo start a frat. ]

Are you serious? You live in a frat house?

[ totally normal! look at all those normal houses! c'mon akaashi it's so much more fun when you just accept it and move on. ]

Not yet, but we're going to! Just waiting for the landlord to give us a bigger house.

[ pick up on the 'us', akaashi. ask him about how he's now engaged to kuroo. ]

[ is this what happens when akaashi isn't around? is kenma around? is anyone around to stop this madness? ]

Who else is there besides you and Kuroo-san? [ he almost doesn't want to know but he should know, if there's a chance to keep this you know, vaguely sane. ]

[ kenma's definitely around! just. not feeling the whole taking care of people side. too many video games too little time, maybe. ]

Oh man. [ he laughs, pulling up his hand again to count. ] Most of Karasuno - so Sawamura, Sugawara, Hinata, that Kageyama kid, Tanaka, their manager Yachi, and then there's Iwaizumi and Oikawa, Kuroo and Kenma, that middle blocker on Datekeo, me...and now you!

[ :D!!!!!!!!!!! ]

[ goddammit i mean

he recognizes kuroo and kenma, the names from karasuno, but the last three mean nothing to him. he's sure he'll figure out why they're important eventually. still though... ]

And they're all in this frat?

[ normally he'd have a hard time believing that but this day has already been stupid enough ]

[ he'd probably at least recognize the school, since that's where bokuto got it first, but hey. it's whatever. it's only like he's been here for three months or something crazy. ]

Kinda? We haven't asked. Most of them are, though, and all the other people on sports teams here. There's a lot of them, you know!

[ it's really super important akaashi okay okay ]

[ maybe when he's not so concerned about literally everything else ]

I see...

[ not really. akaashi's eyes keep darting around to the weirdly suburban town he's suddenly found himself in. this is too much. ]

Yup! And it'll be great now that you're there so now Kenma won't be alone.

[ because you're going, akaashi. you don't get a say in the matter. ]

But we'll probably have to wait till we get married. I'm not sure yet, the Landlord hasn't texted me back.

[ akaashi opens his mouth, almost says something about how he has kuroo-san and hinata is there, but the rest of what bokuto says kills the words, has akaashi stopping dead in his tracks, full blue screen, 404, error, meaning not found.

because, what. ]

I'm sorry Bokuto-san, what did you say?

[ guess who 100% misses whatever that error message is supposed to mean. it's not until he physically stops that bokuto notices something is weird. ]

What? [ blink blink blink ] I don't know. What did I say?

[ #forgetful ]

[ BOKUTO NOT LIKE THIS ]

You said something about getting married.

[ which is probably totally wrong, he must've misheard. definitely. ]

Oh! [ suddenly, he's pipping back up again, totally upbeat and happy. ]

Yeah! Kuroo and I are getting married. They have this whole thing here when you turn eighteen the Landlord pairs you up with someone else here and you get married. And then he gives you a house and assigns you kids, and you have a family!

[ duh, akaashi. come on now. ]

We're trying to start a sports frat so we thought getting married would be like us having a house and kids. It works out easier that way for everyone!
