The Curious P/A Ramshackle Fort

[thisclinchesit]

Characters: Shoutarou and anyone who encounters him.
Setting: Early morning in the dorms, late morning in the library.
Format: Action to start, but will follow you if you want prose.
Summary: Shoutarou builds a fort, for science.
Warnings: Grown man doing a childlike thing?

Dorms:
[In some of the not-occupied rooms of the new dorm level, Shoutarou is gathering sheets from the beds. Why is he doing this? You should ask him!]

Library:
[One table is loaded with a pile of gathered sheets. A couple of other tables are loaded with books. Very, very loaded. There's even books stacked on the floor around the table. There's a few empty shelves carefully arranged in an open area, and another is being moved by a man in black and purple armor.]

A fort? [So much confusion.]

Out of the bookshelves? Wouldn't you need something stronger?

[thisclinchesit]

Yes. And...well, not a serious fort for withstanding attacks. Just a place to have some semblance of privacy.

It was the Doctor's idea.

[f0rceless.livejournal.com]

Oh. [Well, the Doctor's pretty coo'.]

Privacy for what? Are you guys having some sort of secret meeting?

[thisclinchesit]

Well, it'd be nice to have a place to talk about how to get out of here that's away from prying eyes and ears, but I'm more interested in how our keepers will react to such a thing.

[f0rceless.livejournal.com]

Oooh.... [Hey, he kind of gets it now!]

Can you sound proof it like this? I bet that'd get an even better reaction out of them!

[thisclinchesit]

I can't think of any reasonable way to manage that, short of hauling a lot of mattresses down from the dorms, but... Not sure if that'd be worth the trouble.

Maybe you can use a bunch of the thicker books to help muffle it at least.

[And he stood up and rushed over to the silly man in a some weird black body armor.] I'll help if you want! I can make ice to make walls, but I think that would get too cold.

[thisclinchesit]

Might wreck the bookshelves, too. Don't wanna draw that much attention, though using the books is a good idea...

[f0rceless.livejournal.com]

I think you're already drawing attention by dressing up like that. [He is dubious as to how a man in a silly suit WOULDN'T draw attention.]

[Regardless, now he was starting to gather the thicker, hardcovered books together.]

[thisclinchesit]

Hey, this suit is a symbol of justice! [Says the man exploiting its power to move bookshelves for a goofy experiment...]

[f0rceless.livejournal.com]

[Snickers.] Symbol of Justice? The last guy I saw that said that was trying to rig a contest for ice cream.

[thisclinchesit]

[Face, meet palm.]

Well, I assure you that I have no intentions of rigging any contests.

Rigging up forts on the other hand...

[f0rceless.livejournal.com]

[This is totally a plausible situation, c'mon Shou.]

Then you're already doing better than him! I think I like rigging up forts better than contests anyway.
