intro weekend, saturday evening

[magichammer]

[ it takes some doing, but eventually, Ulrika manages to not only find the hotel, but realize that the coins they were given are door keys. and then it's a long, drawn out process as she goes from door to door, testing each one, until finally- ]

Room... 17... aha!

[ - the door swings open and she stumbles in, beaming. her expression sours immediately upon seeing? another??? boy??????????? in her room????????? ]

... Who're you?

[third_alternative]

[ jolts as if startled, taking a defensive position ] Whoa, hey, give a guy some warning!

[ blinks in surprise a few times. oh. just a girl. this is...fine, probably. ]

I'm Rex. [ folds his arms across his chest. ] You?

1/2

[magichammer]

Oh, I'm Ulrika, and this is Albin!

[ a fuzzy ferret pokes his head out of Ulrika's pocket. hello, he heard his name! ]

2/2

[magichammer]

Wait a sec, that's not the important part! What's a boy doing in a girl's room?! Are you some kinda weirdo?

[ what's coed cohabitation ]

[third_alternative]

A girl's room? What are you talking about? This is my room!

[ A pit bull terrier walks out in front of Rex, silent for the moment but definitely posturing as intimidatingly as she can. ]

[magichammer]

If this was your room, then why did my coin thing open the door?!

[ because Rex definitely just came in through the window or something. Albin just huffs a tiny ferret sigh before wriggling to the ground and flopping down there. ]

[third_alternative]

Hello? How do you think I got in here? My coin let me in too!

[ holds his own coin out for emphasis ]

[magichammer]

That's stupid! Who'd let a boy into a girl's room?!

[ calling out rng, meet me at the costco-

Albin sits up and squeaks, offended, until Ulrika glances down. ]

Oh, not you, Albin, I'm sure you'd be a perfect roommate.

[third_alternative]

Hey! I got here first. If anything, this is a boy's room!

[magichammer]

Boys don't need rooms.

[ yeah, there was that guy who wanted to stay out on the streets Yuri! and people like Goto! they'd just worm their way into other peoples' rooms... and beds. no rooms for them.

Albin stares up at Ulrika, betrayal in his eyes, and abruptly shifts to his hyena form. can't kick him out if he's too heavy for you, Ulrika. ]

[third_alternative]

[ Rex just gives her a flat, skeptical look, but then smirks and laughs at the sight of Albin ]

Looks like even your buddy there disagrees! Give it up, you're outnumbered.

[magichammer]

[ Albin you traitor. scowling, Ulrika switches tack. ]

You're awfully eager to stay in the same room as me. What're you, a pervert?

[ Men Only Want One Thing- ]

[third_alternative]

Hey, I'm the one who found the empty room first! If anything, you're the one who's eager to stay with me!

[magichammer]

Gross.

[ Men Only Want One Thing- ]

[third_alternative]

I know you are, but what am I?

[magichammer]

Rude and immature, too. Ugh, forget it, anywhere else is better than this.

[ haha.. uh... well... Ulrika is turning to leave, i guess! ]

[third_alternative]

[ he shouldn't be bothered. he shouldn't! this means he gets a room all to himself.

uuuUUUUGH ]

So, what, you're just gonna give up? Didn't know my roommate was such a quitter.

[magichammer]

[ that gets her spinning on her heel ]

Quitter?! I ain't no quitter! And I'm not sharing a bed with you! So put 'em up!

[ fight fight fight the mage girl ]

[third_alternative]

You're on.

[ He steps forward and gets into a fighting stance, one fist out, and the other...no, hang on. This isn't a fighting stance.

He leaves the fist stretched out towards her, directed as one might hold their hand while playing a certain game... ]

Best of three?

[magichammer]

[ this is the weirdest fist fight she's been i- no, she knows what that stance means. Ulrika's eyes narrow as she extends her own fist, ready to throw down. ]

Prepare to be crushed.

[ gee, sure hope Rex is a "rock, paper, scissors, shoot!" person ]

[third_alternative]

[ Gives her a cocky grin and raises his fist in preparation as the cue to get ready to THROW DOWN. ]

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!

[ me, crying bc there's no way for us to simultaneously come up with our results, but whatever i guess: rock!! ]

[magichammer]

[ lisa i hate this, because ]

... It's a tie.

[ i was gonna have Ulrika do rock bc that's how hard headed she is lmfao ]

Alright, here we go again! Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!

[ this time she will... do scissors! ]

[third_alternative]

[ crying bc even as i wrote that next tag i knew rex's next move would be scissors ]

...Again? Seriously?! Okay, tiebreaker.

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!

[ STICKING WITH SCISSORS ]

[magichammer]

[ alright. so. if they've tied twice, they have to be on the same wavelength, right? so Ulrika would normally switch back to rock... but if she was thinking of that, then so would he... which means he'd switch to paper! so she should be scissors!

but if they're on the same wavelength he'd think that as she thought that, which means she should go with- ]

Dang it!

[ paper. congrats, Ulrika, you played yourself ]

Two out of three, two out of three! You've only won once!

[third_alternative]

[ crosses his arms smugly ]

Nuh-uh!! Two ties and a win still beats out two ties and a loss!
