rionaleonhart: revolutionary girl utena: utena has fallen asleep on her schoolwork. (sort of exhausted really)
[personal profile] rionaleonhart
I was in Manchester for a wedding over the weekend, which entailed a couple of long train journeys! To pass the time on the journey, I revived one of my favourite memes on my Tumblr:

Give me any two (or more) characters I’m familiar with, and I’ll tell you how they would cope in an ‘oh no, there’s only one bed’ scenario!

Here are the results! (You can also find my responses from the last time I did this over here.) As before, my responses exist on a spectrum from ‘general thoughts’ to ‘tiny ficlet’. The Danganronpa, Hundred Line and Omori scenarios contain spoilers.


The Hundred Line: Takumi and Eito )

Spider-Man: Peter, Harry and MJ )

Umineko: Beatrice and Battler )

Danganronpa: first-game survivors, Hinata and Kuzuryuu, Koizumi and Tsumiki )

DN Angel: Daisuke and Satoshi )

Top Gear: writer’s choice )

Severance: Helena and Cobel )

Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic and Tails )

Omori: Sunny and Basil )

Zero Escape: Carlos, Akane and Junpei )

Persona 4: protagonist and Yosuke )

Your Turn to Die: Sara and Sou )

Deltarune: Noelle and Susie )


If there are any characters you’d like to see confronted with a one-bed situation, feel free to make requests in the comments!

More of The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy! There is so much plot happening right now. I've finished the Eva route, and I'm currently on the route in which Shouma calls us all to the classroom we originally woke up in in order to talk about his memories.


Notes on The Hundred Line. )


The experience of playing The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy feels a lot like playing a game, going 'well, I enjoyed that, but I feel there was more to be explored,' and then heading to AO3 and reading every fic that's been written for it. It's absolutely bizarre. I'm really enjoying it.

rionaleonhart: the mentalist: lisbon, with time counting down, makes an important call. (it's been an honour)
[personal profile] rionaleonhart
Look, we all knew I was going to write this fic. Of course I was going to write this fic. Here is the inevitable fic.

Because Takemaru is a stickler for the rules, there's some discussion of the age of consent in this fic. I have no idea what the age of consent in the Tokyo Residential Complex would be, but I've set it at sixteen based on the current age of consent in Japan. I don't think these characters have canonical ages, but, if I'm mistaken and anyone in the 'over sixteen' group is canonically under sixteen, please assume they've been aged up; Takemaru's going to be so upset otherwise.


Title: All That's Left
Fandom: The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy
Rating: 15
Pairing: everyone/everyone (present at this point in the timeline), more or less, with particular emphasis on Takumi/everyone.
Wordcount: 3,700
Summary: Darumi rolls onto her back, looking up at the ceiling. “I guess we could all fuck instead.”
Notes: Set after day 95.

rionaleonhart: final fantasy x-2: the sun is rising, yuna looks to the future. (hope is all we have)

Went to karaoke on Sunday! (At an actual karaoke place, rather than singing at home.) As ever, it was a lot of fun. My song picks:

- Busted, 'What I Go to School For'. I always try to do something ludicrous for my first song; it takes some of the pressure off. Everyone joined in on this one!

- Ricky Martin, 'Livin' La Vida Loca'. It is, it turns out, absolutely impossible not to dance while singing this song.

- High School Musical 3, 'Can I Have This Dance'. This was a duet with Rei; Rei played Troy and I played Gabriella, with all the sincerity we could muster. 'That was so cute,' we were informed afterwards.

- I did a few duets with Rei, actually! The other two, very tonally different from each other, were 'I'll Make a Man Out of You' from Mulan (my pick; Rei at one point grabbed my shirt collar to inform me I was unsuited for the rage of war, which is admittedly true) and 'Turn Back Time' by Aqua (Rei's pick; it's such an interestingly atypical Aqua song!).

- The Offspring, 'The Kids Aren't Alright'. Fun, but a little overwhelming, especially as most of the room didn't know it, so I had to do the 'whoa's as well as the lines! I lost the thread and dropped a couple of lines in the second verse.

- Vengaboys, 'Boom Boom Boom Boom'. There's always one song that gets stuck in my head for days after a karaoke session, and this was the culprit this time. At one point the whole room rebelled and added another chorus in a break, having apparently decided there just weren't enough booms.

- Of Monsters and Men, 'King and Lionheart'. Unexpectedly, nobody else knew this song, so I found myself doing an unanticipated solo right at the top of my range! Extremely intimidating. It went well, though; people were really nice about this one!

- Lady Gaga, 'Paparazzi'. Everyone joined in on this one, which was fun, but it really strained my voice!

I also joined in on a few picks by other people: 'In the End' by Linkin Park, 'Lay All Your Love on Me' by ABBA and 'Shake It Out' by Florence and the Machine. ('Shake It Out' was also quite a strain on my voice, it turned out, but it's a great song!) We all sang along to 'Gimme Gimme Gimme' by ABBA, and the entire room made a spirited attempt at 'Dragostea Din Tei' by O-Zone, despite our general inability to speak Romanian.

I really enjoyed Rei's dancing during 'Rasputin' by Boney M. Rei also performed 'Never Had a Friend Like Me' from Aladdin, which looked absolutely exhausting.

One member of the party picked 'Carry On, Wayward Son' by Kansas, which got the kind of reaction it can only have in a room full of Supernatural fans. Playing that song is a great way to expose everyone in the vicinity who's ever had a feeling about a Winchester. Later, in a second personal attack on Supernatural fans, Rei performed 'Bad Moon Rising' by Creedence Clearwater Revival.

(We're contemplating a Supernatural rewatch. Feels like a bad idea. That's not going to stop us.)
