The first rule of pillow fight club-
[It's past 10pm, and the dining room is now the dining stadium.
...Well, dining doesn't really have anything to do with it right now, but that's not the point. The point is that the huge table in the dining room is both completely clear and surrounded by blankets from the storage room. The chairs next to it have all been pushed back against the wall for spectators. A couple of chairs are occupied with disinfectant and bandages, just in case; anything that can't be fixed with that will have to head to the first aid room. There's also a good amount of water available, because beating each other up with pillows is thirsty work.
And finally, Silver sits on top of the table as people pour in, because of course one of the shithead teenagers had to be responsible for something like this. He stands up and begins to speak once enough people have arrived; his voice is calm, but it does carry rather impressively for someone who's usually rather quiet.]
Alright. I don't know what you guys are used to, but back at home, we fight with rules, like civilized people.
[Not that Silver has ever cared about rules, but when lives are very much at stake, that's a good place to start.]
When you're ready to duke it out, you get up on this table. Your goal is to knock whatever sorry guy thought it was a good idea to pick a fight with you off. You're not allowed to touch anyone with anything other than your pillow in here, so don't try anything funny.
[...There are plenty of people he couldn't really enforce that with, but maybe if he sounds confident enough, people will stick to it.]
If you want to group up into pairs or something, I don't care, but remember that there's only so much table.
So who wants to go first?

no subject
Come at me! I've needed to fight for over a week!
no subject
Bring it.
[He might actually die, but if he does it will be with honor. ...Or something.]
no subject
...That means thankfully she's not going to cheat!
But she's still gigantic, so]
no subject
Vanille holds up her pillow. ]
Give me all you've got, Jasper!
no subject
...It's not full strength, because as big of a jerk as she is, she's not here to murder. But it's still being charged at by a giant woman.]
no subject
[ They did punch each other earlier after all! So she's going to say this while swinging her pillow with a leap towards Jasper's face! ]
no subject
[She has the pillow aimed upward like a shield, but it's a very soft and squishy shield.]
no subject
[ Pillows collide! You almost would expect sparks like it's some Thor's Hammer versus Captain America's Shield shit!
But really it's just a loss of momentum for Elda as she slides back down to Jasper's feet with her blow blocked ]
no subject
Or well, more or less gently charge, because this is just a pillow fight. Still, even a Jasper interested in not... murdering people tonight isn't going to turn down a challenge, so swiping the pillow at Elda it is!]
no subject
It still sends her flying. She goes careening off the table and into the far wall. Apparently, her footing was bad
and I rolled a nat 1 ]no subject
She's still standing at the table, though, so apparently she's ready for a rematch.]
no subject
[ She groans, standing. Thankful for the blankets but also smoothing out her dress which looks very, very unsuited to this task ]
You're really strong even with one of those!
[ But the table? She's so back on it ]
no subject
I am the perfect Quartz! I was made to fight.
[She's so here for Elda to attempt to attack again, though.]
no subject
[ Elda smacks her pillow into her hand a few times, puffing out her chest before - well. he goes in, diving this time to try and get a better angle to smack Jasper from ]
no subject
Not too dramatic, but considering Jasper's size, pretty impressive.]
Come on, you can do better than that!
no subject
[ Except she isn't swinging the pillow she's going to grab hold of Jasper's leg so as to try and lift her at least a little and over-balance her.
What's cheating? ]
no subject
Dammit!
[...but it doesn't sound like she actually minds much, so there is that. It's not like this is a real battle, after all.]
no subject
... Oh wait, pillow fight.
She hits Jasper on the nose with her pillow ]
