All-Sexuality Support Group meeting, Thursday after classes

[mississippiqueen]

Gabrielle had left the decorations up to Emmett again today, so you should probably fear. She had, however, insisted on doughnuts being part of the snack spread. If you left a doughnut out in the open long enough for it to dry out, and you threw it just right, could it . . . anyway.

You'd think Emmett have learned from all the glitter-brushing last time, and he sort of had. This time he kept the decorations to rainbow streamers hanging from the back of each chair, which matched nicely with the rather large punchbowl full of Skittles. See? SUBTLE.

But pretty! They reminded Gabrielle of bathing under waterfalls. "Hi again, everyone," she told the group once they'd assembled. "I know we did introductions last week, but we thought we'd take it a step further today and do a little getting-to-know-you exercise." She glanced over at Emmett and said quietly, through her teeth, "Not that kind."

Emmett rolled his eyes. "As lovely as I find every single girl, boy, other or undecided in this room, there are some of them I have absolutely no desire to have sex with." Some.

"Good to know. Thanks. Thanks for sharing with everyone." Gabrielle's face might freeze that way, halfway between I am smiling this hard to keep from strangling you and it really looks like I'd chew my way through a log right now, doesn't it? "Actually, sharing with everyone was the plan for the day. Why don't you explain a little of how this is supposed to work, Emmett?"

"I do believe I shall, m'amselle." Emmett clapped his hands together. "Okay! Here's the deal: since so many of us are from different places, times, and..." He eyed Gabrielle. "Planets, it can seem like we don't have much in common besides the fact that we're all here, but we bet it isn't so."

"Soooo, everybody gets to take a turn to stand up and say something about themselves or the place they come from. If what they said is true for you too, speak up, raise your hand, make some connections, and grab yourself a handful of Skittles. Whoever has the most by the time the meeting's over...is gonna have a heck of a sugar crash."

Emmett shrugged, popping a grape one into his mouth. "It's like I Never without the booze and eventual embarrassing morning after."

Arrive/Mingle

[mississippiqueen]

Doughnuts! Skittles! You probably won't get your hand smacked for stealing some without playing the game. Or at least not without a safeword being negotiated first.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

Jack wasn't in a particularly mingly mood, but he was expected at the club meeting, so here he was. He picked out a few Skittles and took a seat.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

Hayley was definitely happy to mingle. And mmmm, doughnuts.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[glacial_queen]

Karla had been very, very far in the future for the last meeting, so she was rather hesitant as she ducked in before rehearsal.

But this was Gabrielle's group and even if she hadn't like females, she'd be here for support.

You know what's nice to have when you're still kind of ohmigodamIreallyinthisroom?? A chocolate doughnut with pink frosting. Just saying.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Look, Katchoo was here, and not throwing Skittles at Gabrielle -- that was as mingly as she was going to get, all right?

Diana munched on a donut and kept having to move her cat away from the donuts.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[wantstodirect]

Tony put Skittles on his doughnut. Mmm, extra rainbowy.

Re: Arrive/Mingle

[future_sandworm]

Leto was here too, curious to see how this was developing. The game seemed uncomplicated enough.

Play "What've We Got In Common"

[mississippiqueen]

"I'm the last survivor of the planet Krypton" would not go here, since you want to pick stuff that somebody else might share. Though around here, "I'm the last survivor of my planet" could probably be a club of its own, so...

Re: Play "What've We Got In Common"

[mississippiqueen]

"Just to give you the idea, I'll start: I've got two older brothers." And four sisters, but nobody was getting any Skittles if he got that specific.

Re: Play "What've We Got In Common"

[bitten_notshy]

It took Jack a moment to get the point of the game, but:

"I was adopted," he said blandly. That seemed like a safe guess for someone else to share at a school like this, and he didn't mind talking about it. "And -- I'm Jewish."

Re: Play "What've We Got In Common"

[ancientbschamp.livejournal.com]

Gabrielle had thought about this a long time, because -- hey, she wasn't from another planet, Emmett, but she might as well be, since she apparently came from the insane Earth.

And while her reasons for it hadn't been awful in comparison, the best thing she could think of was: "I knew the life I'd have there wasn't what I wanted, so I ran away from home."

Re: Play "What've We Got In Common"

[thatsamilkshake]

So far Francine was batting 0 for 3 on having anything in common with the others.

Dammit, she wanted some Skittles.

"My parents are getting divorced," she offered, and thought she managed not to wince. (She was wrong.) "And they don't know about--" How to finish that off, because there were things, or maybe just words she wasn't saying yet. "This," with a nod towards Katchoo.

Re: Play "What've We Got In Common"

"I've quit smoking," Hayley said, trying to come up with something other than 'I've been arrested for something I was guilty for'.

Re: Play "What've We Got In Common"

[likethegun]

"I have a step-parent," Sam said, trying to pick something at least vaguely possible in worlds that weren't this one. "And they do know about...uh, this."

Re: Play "What've We Got In Common"

[glacial_queen]

Karla hadn't been able to get any skittles for anything people had said so far. Unfortunately, her best bet for having in common with people (HER PARENTS WERE DEAD!) was too personal to bring up at a meeting like this.

"Can I just say I'm not from this time?" she asked. "Or is that cheating?"

Re: Play "What've We Got In Common"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"I've never been to school before coming here?" Merlin offered after a moment.

Re: Play "What've We Got In Common"

[oops-mbad.livejournal.com]

Diana considered what she had that was boring. "I'm from Canada." Samuel meowled his agreement.

Re: Play "What've We Got In Common"

[wantstodirect]

Tony picked up another doughnut. "I've never slept with a girl," he offered.

Talk to the (Gods help you) Leaders

[mississippiqueen]

When they ping in.

[See above re: traffic raaaaage for my lovely co-host, whose arrival will be delayed.]

Re: Talk to the (Gods help you) Leaders

[mississippiqueen]

Emmett might have started in on the Skittles early, if his rainbow-dyed tongue was any indication.

Re: Talk to the (Gods help you) Leaders

[ancientbschamp.livejournal.com]

Gabrielle had started in on the Skittles early, too. You could tell -- she was still eating them.

Talk to Mitchell

[mississippiqueen]

This was always here!

ALWAYS.

Re: Talk to Mitchell

[chosehumanity]

Strangely enough, Mitchell was also in a mood. And was a bit skittish. But yes.

OOC

[mississippiqueen]

Scarily enough, this is a real GSA icebreaker.
