Cardboard Bobsled Adventure

[unironickylorenfan]

CARDBOARD BOBSLED

What the hell is going on with the western stairwell in the dorms? Someone's turned it into a cardboard-and-pillow-lined luge track. The whole thing! Floor five to ground level. It's pretty well decorated, all things considered, with whimsical plastic toys and paper cut outs stuck to the walls or dangling from the ceiling. There are even fairy lights scotch taped to the walls. It's like if you turned a Joe's Crab Shack into the world's jankiest amusement park ride. The culprit figures that if he gets in trouble he can just blame it on the sudden snow and his slow descent into madness. YOLO, etc.

Our adventure starts on the top floor, the Swords dorm and carries talented riders down and around up to five floors of spiral staircase. Freshmen stand at each door, watching to ensure no one's loitering on the track. Different music thrums through at each dorm floor landing from portable speakers manned by freshmen, adding even more confusion to the quick trip down the stairs. And on the ground level, a table with some snacks and drinks has been set out. Shitty medals made of folded paper and yarn are being awarded for those who “go all the way.”

HOW THIS WORKS

• With the assistance of some freshmen, Liam Blumenthal has assembled a cardboard sledding track in the western stairwell of the dorms. It took him most of the afternoon, so the first rides are available in the evening.


• Since the western stairwell is in use, he asks that the eastern stairwell and elevator not be loitered in. For safety reasons. :)


• Pick your mode of transport and go for a ride! You have a few options:
  • Ya Butt (-10 to rolls, +1 to butt pain)
  • Lumpy Pillow (-5 to rolls, +5 to comfort)
  • Laundry Basket (0 to rolls, the Civic of improv indoor sleds)
  • Plastic Disc Sled (+5 to rolls, +5 to style)
  • One of those wheeled gym class ridey board things (+10 to rolls, +15 to yolo, but 50% chance of wipe out)


• Post the form below to the RIDES! section to see how far you'll go.
  <b>NAME(s):</B> Who's on this run? <B>WHAT'S YOUR RIDE?:</B> Butt, Lumpy Pillow, Laundry Basket, Sled, or Gym Class Wheely Thing <b>WILLINGNESS TO DIE?:</B> Scale of -10 to +10. <B>WHAT IS YOUR AESTHETIC?:</B> This part is super important. <B>ANYTHING ELSE?:</b>


• 2 People to a ride max. Only one of the riders needs to check in with a form.


• Assume light scrapes, maybe a bruise, at worst for injury. Everything is lined with pillows and cardboard. It's quite squishy.


• This is super low pressure. Just something dumb and fun.

SCENES!

[unironickylorenfan]

The track starts on the fifth floor - Swords floor - and spirals all the way down to ground level. You can leave through any doors but can only make a formal run from the start, up top. There's music playing and some snacks and things set out on the ground floor. Freshmen are stationed at each door to make sure the path is clear before anyone else comes down. They are not always vigilant.

Happy Birthday, Nora!

[unironickylorenfan]

A simple banner hangs over one of the tables. It reads “HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUNNY” and beneath it, a few gift wrapped items are set with a card and a large brownie wrapped in colorful cellophane.

Liam's gift, in a bag with tissue paper, consists of bunny peeps (he got them off Amazon, they're fresh), a cookbook with recipes for cute cupcakes and cake pops. Inside there's a Moon tarot card fashioned into a bookmark. His gift includes a homemade card, which appears to be made from the January page of a Hot Firemen calendar. A poor quality photo of Peaches’ head has been cut out and pasted over the beefy fireman's face. The inside says simply. “Happiest Birthday, brave Moon Bunny. Love, LAB”

Sully's also left a gift here, a messily wrapped oblong package. It's, of course, a monstrosity of his own invention. An umbrella imprinted with a photorealistic picture of the moon. The handle has been replaced with a toy Crescent Moon Stick that still plays all the obnoxious tinny sounds when you press the buttons. This umbrella is wholly practical (or wholly impractical, but at least it's not a weapon).
