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.
NAME(s): Who's on this run? WHAT'S YOUR RIDE?: Butt, Lumpy Pillow, Laundry Basket, Sled, or Gym Class Wheely Thing WILLINGNESS TO DIE?: Scale of -10 to +10. WHAT IS YOUR AESTHETIC?: This part is super important. ANYTHING ELSE?:

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.

Their hole just looks like a giant monster at the end and it's BEAUITFUL

does mont have to wear his booties when you venture outside :c

also r/futurebubble should ride AND die together

much to his extremeo dismay~

YES is emma making them do the wheelie thing, does she wish for death that much

he needs a treadmill and an indoor potty so he only has to go outside when the building needs rescuing from squirrels

how dare you imply emma wants anything more than she wants to die on these stairs right now

Eva (64 + 10 + 0) decided that a flying leap is the best way to start! And, wow! Look at them go! They make it all the way to the first floor. They barrel through the door and become one with the wall of pillows at the end of the track.

At the bottom, they are awarded with a yellow, square paper medal that says, "Congration! You done it" in black sharpie. This is surrounded by question marks in red.

indoor squirrels

fair fair fair

r/fb is going to be reskinned to look like a graveyard for the next week

Richie & Slade (63 + 7 + 0) find a good luck penny before their run. And, wow! Look at them go! They make it all the way to the first floor. As they slide through the door, freshmen shower them in origami construction paper roses.

At the bottom, they are awarded with a green, circular paper medal with a poo emoji drawn on it.

Oh there is way too much good stuff to put in richie's mouth here

Sabrina (14 + 8 + 0) trips a little on their way down the track! They make it as far as the fourth floor where they spin out dramatically! Feeling dizzy?

Eva sees no reason to get out of her laundry cage. Legs draped over one side of her plastic vehicle, second basket hanging on her head like she's headed to the Met Gala and the theme is Charlie's Mother from Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, she scoots her way under the snack table toward Liam.

"Oh my god," she says with a heavy sigh, poking him with her foot. "I can't believe we wore the same dress."

WILLINGNESS TO DIE?: Well now it's 9.
WHAT IS YOUR AESTHETIC?: if Velma from Scooby-Doo had a killer right hook
ANYTHING ELSE?: you're gonna regret not limiting me j-dawg

Gregory would definitely come and celebrate Nora's bday. He might need a Squad 3 member or a sophomore to pressure him into actually doing the race.

Pansy miiiiight be here. And if she is, she's trying to walk the impossible line of setting a good example and trying to win.

Hamsi's going to show Gregory how immortal he is by making him go on a basket ride with her.

they don't die on a side padded slide ride = extreme confirmation bias that they will never die in the shadow world

i love it!

want me to write it?

actually i take it back, kodi is going to ignore the shenanigans until the very end. the end.

Sabrina (59 + 9 - 5) heads down the track at impressive speed! She makes it all the way to the second floor landing where she encounters her arch-nemesis: a wall!

oh gregory marina needs to destroy marzio in this race and has currently failed miserably

Oh yes I love this

YES PLEASE! Hamsi's Death Wish rating is 10 if you would like to average it out B)

NAME(s): Kodi

WILLINGNESS TO DIE?: +10
WHAT IS YOUR AESTHETIC?: The wither of her glare is offset by her sequinned flamingo sweater.
ANYTHING ELSE?: Kodi emerges from her room, grabs the wheelydo without a word, and chucks herself down the stairs.

Kodi (62 + 10 + 10) makes like a baby and heads out! And, wow! Look at them go! They make it all the way to the first floor. They rocket through the first floor door and disappear into the wall of pillows.

At the bottom, they are awarded with a gray, pentagonal paper medal that says, "Gr8t!" in black sharpie. The 't' has been furiously scribbled out in red pen.

yes!!! he'll try to protect her from injury but he might just end up squishing her
