Open Mingle! an informal event, or: massive sleepover

Evening, October 10

Following Hajime (Number 2)'s announcement, the Hajimes have worked together to take over the game room/rec room and dance floor. Hopefully no one had any dances or performances planned, because they've taken most of the spare pillows and blankets and hauled them in to cover the floor. And probably made some extra just for this event.

There are snacks! There's the game room! There's enough space to sleep and maybe get close to someone! It's a mingle for a sleepover. The Hajimes are hoping that people will feel better if they go to sleep knowing someone is close by, and maybe if people sleep in close enough proximity, they'll wake up in the dreamscape together and be able to ward off nightmares together. Who knows!

Go wild. But not too wild, there are Children on this base.

Hm. Do you like being alone?

[ since he seems to be concentrating more on other people here, instead of himself. ]

I'm used to being alone. It's not a matter of liking it or not. Though, I do like quiet places, like libraries. It's always comforting to be in one.

[Though it was a none answer, it was probably not hard to infer he didn't particularly enjoy being lone but saw it as a fact of life.]

Okay then. I've decided that we are going to be very good friends from now on.

[ hajime takes a step back to look over his hair and decides the space buns are no good, so she takes those down and just braids those strands of hair instead. ]

Eh?

[Somehow she kept surprising him. He wanted to turn around so he could look at her though that was hard with his hair being messed with like this.]

Eh!

[ finally, hajime sets down the hairbrush and digs through the bag to pull out a small mirror. she holds it out in front of komaeda. ]

You're all finished.

Do you understand what getting close to me means...?

[Though he was feeling distracted by the mirror. He felt... a little silly.]

I'm a bit unsure about this.

[Both topics.]

You look super great!

[ hajime is biased though, considering she's the one who... did this to his hair... of course she thinks it looks great? ]

But bad things might happen, right?

[Ignoring her opinion and focusing on the important part.]

Yes. You might even die.

I also might die doing a million other things! That's life, you never know what might happen.

Fine....

[And it wasn't like he didn't like the idea of someone calling him a friend. In fact it made him really happy, which made him more worried. But, he was starting to learn more than ever there was just no point in fighting her.]

Maybe everything will be fine.
