Anti-Cotillion Pajama Hoedown

[cosmonot]

ANTI-COTILLION PAJAMA HOEDOWN

You could have spent a week in manners classes, learning how to lay a knife across a plate so you don't look like a barbarian. You could have gone to New York to eat finger food and bump elbows with Auden Haverfield-Beaumont, Esq. You could have spent the night in a Manhattan hotel with wifi and an overpriced minibar. But you didn't. Lucky you.

Griffin Flowers, an uncouth garbage boy in his chrysalis stage, has organized an anti-Cotillion in the lodge. In his excitement, he seems to have mixed themes and the decor lands somewhere between hoedown and pajama party. Lots of gingham patterns, things in mason jars (very hoedown aesthetic), cowboy hats and things that look like they might've come from the stables clash with a comfortable assortment of blankets, pillows, sleeping bags and junk food.

Tonight's playlist is a bit of a mess, and was most likely assembled by Sophomoot. Square dancing music pops up between poppy sleepover classics and weirdness. There's a lot of Darius Rucker?? And no less than thirty seconds of Slow Gimme Pizza gets played before someone smashes the next button. Bad sequels courtesy of the haunted DVD player are being projected onto a large sheet in the atrium. The theater experience is taking place in a veritable wonderland of blankets and pillows. And there's an actual ton of junk food. All of it the kind you eat with your hands and, honestly, the messier the better. So, grab some BBQ pork nachos and chow down, my dudes.

HOW THIS WORKS

• Festivities begin in the lodge at 6PM and lights out is 11PM. It's a school night, kids.


• This is a school-sanctioned party. As such, teachers are around and you are being held to standard Gooseberry behavior standards. It's going to be hard to get drunk, and too rowdy kids will be sent back to their cabins for the night.


• That said feel free to make a fool of yourself eating wings or start a pillow fight or something.


• The bad sequels playlist: Grease 2, Shrek the Third, Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part II (hey that guy looks like Dimi Evercreech) and Troll 2.


• WING EATING: Fill out the form below and post it to the Eat Wings section. Try to get to fifty to win. Go over fifty and feel a ton of regret both now and later. But also look cool, I guess?

Before The Party

[cosmonot]

Lachlan & Jaime

[lachlangalbraith]

True to his very nerdy word, Lachlan spent most of this quiet Sunday in a study group with other seniors (and one ambitious junior) and grading papers for Hermeticism. It was productive. And, by the time they need to head over to the Lodge for the party Jaime has decided they're going to, he feels like he's earned that.

Satisfied and smiling to himself, he puts a few necessities into his backpack (pajamas, toiletries, his Hermeticism book, etc.) and asks the other boy, "Think the others are survivin'? Ennis and Addy and Phin and everyone?" He almost adds Yancey to this list and decides against it.

The Movies!!

[cosmonot]

Micah (open to multiple)

[stclair]

Surprisingly, the only movie on the docket that Micah's familiar with is Troll 2. (Okay, that's not a surprise.) For the rest, he's extremely eager to absorb all the details. Wait, is he... enjoying this? All of this?

Micah will share junk food with anyone who comes sit with him, and will offer commentary on what's happening onscreen, whether you like it or not.

Griffin (open)

[cosmonot]

Griffin is pretty excited about the fact that he spearheaded a whole party, but you wouldn't know it by looking at him. Mostly because he's basically hypnotized by the movie. He built himself a nest of pillows and blankets and he's sitting cross-legged, bowl of popcorn between his legs, staring, straight-up slack-jawed at the screen.

Grease 2 is so bad. I mean that. This is me talking here. Griffin, on the other hand, has seen maybe ten movies in his fifteen years of life. Which means that Grease 2 is in the top 10 movies list for him. He's enthralled.

He tries to throw a piece of popcorn in his mouth and misses.

Eat Wings.

The Party Proper

[cosmonot]

Calvin (open to multiple)

[evercreep]

Calvin's not touching those wings, but does seem to be getting some enjoyment out of watching his classmates hurt themselves. He'll occasionally egg them on, but won't go near them himself. He also isn't going to dance. Especially not to whatever's playing right now.

"This party's a bit weird," he finally says. "Should've gotten myself a cotillion date instead." He absolutely doesn't mean it.

Todd makes Introductions

[quickbuck]

Partway through the night Todd insists that everyone here is just as fancy as the people who went to Cotillion. Leave your name here and he'll improv an introductory spiel about you that will be very fancy and at least 35% true. You must performance a fancy walk while he's reading your introduction, and it will be graded on a 10 point scale.

Bash & Hazel

[professionalcorpse]

Sebastien Lacroix is not codependent.

This is definitely a true fact and he feels like he probably shouldn't have to justify this within his own brain - because it's not like anybody's implying it in the actual world. Except maybe his sweatshirt. Which is soft and over-sized and maybe kind of sad looking. It might look like a sadness sweatshirt. Which might imply that he is sad. Which he is not. (What qualifies a sweatshirt as sad? Shit, he really hates when he gets stuck on thoughts like this.) Because he's totally cool and maybe eating a bunch of Doritos and wrapped in a blanket cocoon. But happy and not codependent people like blankets too. And Doritos.

Doritos are awesome. And way better than Twilight. Which is the kind of movie that should be watched exactly zero times, if at all possible. It's bad enough that he can sort of hear it happening from the couch he's currently occupying.

Lilika (Open to Multiple)

[lilipad]

On the outskirts of the party, Lilika quietly builds herself a temporary studio apartment out of pillows. Her sundries, toiletries, and a change of clothes are tucked away in a pillow case that serves as her closet and a big bowl of sour cream and onion potato chips to her left denotes the kitchen. An attempt at transfiguring pillows into a mattress results in a thin, lumpy plank of down that isn’t ideal but will certainly serve for the night.

Her living room consists of two bean bags on either side of a stack of textbooks that acts as a coffee table. Satisfied with her work, Lilika plops down in one of her ‘arm chairs’ and plucks a ‘coffee table book’ from the stack—a worn copy of The Graven Palm. All that’s missing is a ‘Doctor’s In’ sign.

She doesn’t call people to her but anyone wandering close is greeted with a warm, inviting smile.

Lights Out!

WING EATING NOTE

[cosmonot]

I should probs disclose that the level of spiciness you pick will confer a flat number bonus to your roll.
