And I'll Be With You When You Dream

[violentenvies]

[It's Sunday night! Boy, today sure has been a day, hasn't it?? Memories returned, Father's Day Gifts given, and Benjamin sure had a Time, didn't he?

Looks like it's time to find ways to cope.

Thus, the bed frames from Broadhurst dorm are being worked on being taken apart by Varian while the mattresses are becoming The New Floor.

Additionally, there's plenty to eat and drink, what with the hot pot provided by Rina, cookies that might just taste a bit burnt from Farrah, apples from Orpheus, more delicious potatoes from Maya, as well as sandwiches by Cassandra. There is also quite the variety of pie, from caramel, to bittersweet chocolate and strawberries, and several other varieties from the vending machine. Finally, there's popcorn brought in by Spongebob. If someone wants a drink, there is some delicious hot cocoa, provided by Elsa, as well as the tea brought in by Discord. There's also a variety of drinks from the vending machines.

Everyone's invited of course. There are a variety of games happening, and there's even a TV that's been wheeled down from the Library. So bring your pajamas, whatever they happen to be, and settle in for a sleepover!]

[mayavericks]

[Yeah, Maya can't help but do the same.]

A match made in murderschool, right?

[fourbutts]

Something good in... all of this.

[ And she goes ahead and just kisses Maya on the cheek. ]

You're gonna share a mattress with me later, right?

[mayavericks]

Oh, naturally. I'm almost hurt that you had to ask.

[She does pause for a moment, though.]

I was thinking we could invite Peregrine to join us?

[fourbutts]

[ A blink. ]

Like... for the night, or...?

[ She definitely doesn't seem opposed, just. Surprised. ]

[mayavericks]

Oh, just for the night. Certainly not -- Anything else.

[Her cheeks sure are kind of pink, though.]

I know she is going through a lot, though. And we are her friends. It... might help?

[fourbutts]

Okay! Just... you know. Checking.

[ She nods, cheeks definitely not also slightly pink. ]

I mean... yeah! You know. Company is nice.

[mayavericks]

Yes, company is very nice. And Peregrine is... also very nice.

[Haha... awkward.]

[fourbutts]

Yeah, for sure.

[ Though that does remind her! This is one hell of a topic change but it's better than standing in whatever emotion this is that they're feeling about Peregrine. ]

Oh! Uh... that reminds me, babe, uh... she had something for us. That um. Not to bring the party down, but Connor left her to hand over to us.

[mayavericks]

[Maya blinks. She shifts, just enough to fully face Janis. Her expression is curious, if a bit concerned.]

He left us something? [It's not surprising that Janis was left anything. What is surprising is that she might have been included in all of this.]

[fourbutts]

[ She nods. ]

Yeah, uh...

[ She takes out two friendship bracelets in lesbian pride flag colors, because Connor wasn't subtle. She's... definitely blushing slightly, because this isn't her usual style, but. It definitely means something to her. ]

For us.

[mayavericks]

[Maya glances down at the bracelet. She's touched enough at the gesture, at Connor having noticed whatever was brewing between the two of them. The meaning of the colors takes a few more moments. When it clicks, she can't help but shake her head and grin.]

He was a very intuitive man, wasn't he?

[Daintily, she holds out her wrist.]

[fourbutts]

[ She moves to tie the bracelet around the offered wrist. ]

Way more than he would ever let anyone call him, probably.

[mayavericks]

Oh, of course.

[A faint, tittering laugh.]

Did you know he could fence? He gave me a challenge.

[fourbutts]

No shit? Full of surprises, I guess.

[ And just like that, they have matching """friendship""" bracelets! ]

[mayavericks]

I wish I could have known him better.

[Maya lifts her hand up, and brings Janis's with her. Look at them. Matchies.]

So... This means we are official now, right?

[fourbutts]

[ Softly, while blushing slightly: ]

... Yeah, guess we are.

[mayavericks]

That's good then.

[She kisses the back of Janis's hand.]

Girlfriend.

[fourbutts]

How the fuck did I land you?

[ It's mostly joking and mostly rhetorical. Mostly. ]

Girlfriend.

[mayavericks]

For starters? You fell for more horrible lines about protection and sharing roles.

[fourbutts]

Like I said, you had to put in more work. And you did.

[ She laughs a little. ]

I'm glad you decided to seduce me.

[mayavericks]

How could I not? Have you seen yourself? Heard your wit? I took one look at you and -- [Something catches in her throat, shifting her from speech to song.]

And suddenly I'm helpless
Oh, look at those eyes
And I'm helpless
