Micah still wasn't totally sure he wanted to be here, much less wearing borrowed pajamas -- sweatpants and no shirt, because he didn't have his own and didn't have any idea when he would be able to buy some or with what money and was decidedly uncomfortable with the idea of wearing underwear only to a gathering with people he didn't know, which was most of the people here at this point -- but the guy falling out of a hole in the ceiling that was gone the next second distracted him from his nerves. "What the hell," he said, and paused to watch Mark long enough to be sure the guy was still breathing. Nobody else seemed to be concerned, though. Was that kind of thing ... normal?
"O-kay," Micah muttered, and followed Horace, because Horace was still one of the few people who he actually knew, and anyway he couldn't explain that he'd been dragged here if he seemed to be hanging out on his own. He didn't sit down yet, but folded his arms and glared uncomfortably at nothing.

Really, it had just been excellent timing.
Harley had only stepped through the doors of the room, bag over her shoulder, when she heard a familiar bellow. For a moment she stood stunned, surprised that she would suddenly be yelled at the moment she entered the place, but she realized quickly that he was just looking for her. So, like the good girl she so often claimed to be, she made her way through the crowd, stepping over those who needed stepping over, squirming around others with apologies expressed (though Tommy received a very mature cross-eyed tongue razzling), until she stood in front of Horace, standing tall and raising her pale hand in the air as though she were answering roll call. She was wearing a man's white dress shirt, buttons done up to cover what needed covering; though there were hints of rather hot pink material under neath.
"Present!" She announced, though that much would be obvious at that point. Not a moment later she was plunking herself down in his lap, making it easier to give him a crushing hug. "Hey little brother!" One sloppy cheek kiss in greeting later, and she did her best to mess up his hair. "What's up?"

Micah seemed nervous, and it was the kind of nervous Horace didn't exactly know how to deal with. He wanted the other man to have a good time, but maybe this big of a party was a bad idea. There were so many people even Horace didn't know. And he was in the midst of flicking through profile on his SPECTRE watch when a girl landed in his lap. His arms reflexively reached out to steady her and then he grinned when she planted a big ol' wet one on his cheek.
"Disgusting, big sister," he said teasingly. Horace gestured for Micah to come closer with one hand, the other making sure Hattie didn't loose her precarious seat. "Micah, this is my big sister, Harley. Hattie, meet Micah, he's new...ish." Then he gestured at the people around them. "That is Tommy, the Italian stallion, Oliver is over there, and that is a bunny trapped in some blankets-" he was pointing to Ana. "-And lots of people I don't know." Micah got a sort of sheepish grin directed his way.
"I didn't know there'd be so many people."

"You should know better by now." Harley scolded, trying to sound serious, but entirely failing. She clapped her hand on his chest a time or two, before turning her attention to the young man Horace was bringing into the spot light. Blue eyes regarded him curiously, looking him over from head to toe, though she lingered a little bit on the sweat pants that were obviously too big. Hrm. Those looked familiar… Her gaze snapped back up to his a moment later, offering a bright, happy smile.
"Ah! A new kid! I'm still kind of one myself! Hey Micah, nice to meet you, welcome to the island, and all those other super fun things that you get from literally everyone." She prattled on, then held out her hand for him to shake, if he were so inclined. By then though, Horace was showing him other people, and Hattie laughed at his summary of the few people they both knew.
"Tommy's my roomie and he's a disgusting hobo, Ollie is an absolute cutie pie who can set you up if you get a sweet tooth, and I don't know who the bunny is but bunnies are great so I'm sure they're awesome." Her free hand lifted to grab hold of Horace's jaw, shaking it once teasingly. "And my Little Brother is a sweetheart, though he can be super dumb." Though she let him go a moment later, she was grinning wickedly at him, because she recognized those sweatpants.
"Anyway~ Micah! How're you liking the island so far? What division are you in? Did you get stuck in the basement?"
"Nice to meet you," Micah said, a little gruffly. He shifted his weight from one foot to the other as Harley looked him up and down, her eyes lingering on the pants, and he realized belatedly that that probably looked ... weird. "I, uh, asked to borrow a pair of pants, I don't have any pajamas," he explained hurriedly, and shook her hand. "You're his sister?"
He nodded at the introductions, even though he was more likely than not to forget all the names. Way too many people. "It's more civilized than the zombies," he replied after a moment. "I got a moon on my coat, so I guess that's moon division, and yeah, I got stuck in the basement. It could really use a remodel." He eyed Horace warningly, because if the guy started talking about chains there were punches in his future.

Horace groaned. There she went, getting ideas. "One, it's not like that - I can see the gears spinnin' in your brain. And two, this is how you treat your own flesh and blood? Super dumb? Hattie, I am high offended right now." He hmphed and jiggled his leg just to upset her seating a bit.
"Yeah, especially considering the ch-" he caught Micah's warning look and swallowed a laugh. "-a remodel, sure. Dawson was trying to make the bathrooms better, but it's a lost cause. Even my purple coffee sludge didn't do much." One day, he was going to get some kind of fancy coffee machine, perhaps when he moved into a room that had outlets. "Micah, she's never had to live in the basement, she doesn't know the horrors." Which meant if he or Micah felt like making up dreadful stories, there was a 1% increase in the chance Hattie might believe them.
He looked at her again, eyes narrowing for a second. Then Horace leaned in and whispered in her ear. "Stop getting ideas."

"Uh-huh." Harley teased to his hurried explanation, her grin still quite intact. "Well, I guess it's better than showing up in nothing, yeah? Especially here. Apparently Mercy will not show any as she kills off people who ignored the dress code." She hadn't yet met this Mercy person, but by their replies online, well, it was for the best to show up in pants. Even borrowed pants. Horace's pants. Harley wouldn't stop grinning about that one for a while. She shook his hand, her own grip firm, and let hers slide away once the introductions were done.
"Don't we look alike?" She inquired to Micah's question. Honestly, aside from the blue eyes and the fact they were both fairly tall, they were almost complete opposites. "I'm twins with this-" She yelped suddenly, as Horace upset her seat by jiggling his leg, breaking what up until that point had been a very pointed ignoring. "-this little brat." She corrected herself, her voice pitched sweetly. "We have the same birthday, and we woke up on the island the same day…and we both have blue eyes and are completely awesome…so yeah, he's my twin!" There was also an obvious overlook of the actual age gap between them, but that wouldn't help her point. "I love the big lug. He's good people." This was punctuated by a playful elbow to his chest, simply because she could.
"Moon! Moon's a good division. I'm in Life. And - yes, I was lucky enough to get a main floor room." Well, it wasn't so much luck as it was she barged into Tommy's room at the same time he did, declared it as her own, and promptly refused to leave. But still. Luck. "You're more than welcome to camp with Tommy and I, if you ever miss having windows." Her offer, at least, was sincere. Before she said anything further though, her gaze unfocused as Horace whispered to her, her head tilting almost instinctively to make sure it stayed between them.
"Yeah, that's not gonna happen." Her voice dropped to a stage whisper, and the grin was back full force. It remained when she turned back towards Micah, focusing on him again. "How'd you meet Horace?"

"I don't sleep naked," Micah said, scowling a bit to offset the joke. "Anyway I like being alive."
He stared at Harley, nonplussed, and opened his mouth to point out the obvious, that the "twins" weren't even close to looking alike. The explanation forestalled that, though, and he settled for, "Oh," and then, "I wouldn't impose like that," sounding vaguely offended at the idea that he would invade someone else's space.
Horace got a slightly sour glance in his direction. "He woke me up and he's been bugging me since then." Nevertheless, he'd never actually told Horace to ******** off, and he'd showed up following him.
There was quite a lot going on so Momo pretty much just took up some residency on Mercy's bed pushed up into a corner. All the other losers could sit on the floor.

"Nah, he wears boxers," Horace helpfully supplied, blissfully unaware that this knowledge would sound weird coming from him. "A bloodbath at a movie party does not sound like my idea of fun." Horace stifled his chuckles at the whole sibling-hood explanation. Most people just didn't care that he and Hattie looked nothing alike, and that was just fine. And Micah's little slightly offended voice was kind of cute, in an amusing way.
"I'm good at bugging, I guess." He took this moment to snap Hattie's bra strap lightly. Because ideas.
She was so busy trying to look for something to play these videos with that she didn't notice when Oliver came in offering snacks, startling her a bit. "Oh! Hello~ Thank you for bringing snacks, that was very nice of you! And because you brought snacks, you can have first pick for the movie if you like? " He seemed awfully shy for a dude that comes out in a dino hoodie, but hey, Deus was full of interesting people. Mercy frowned while she took the snacks politely, setting them on top of her drawer. "Its cool if you didn't bring snacks, Im not stressin it! Make yourself comfortable." When Harper introduced Liam to her, Mercy smiled and nodded, thinking about how cute the two looked. "You're so welcome! Thank you both for coming`"
She blinked at Shu's question, laughing nervously. "Nooooope. No one is getting turnt in my room, especially if I cant." She was only 19 after all and even though she's had a few in the past, she still wasn't going to bring alcohol especially since she didn't know too many people here to predict their behaviour when drunk.
She saw portal dude come in again and she gave him a sympathetic pat on the shoulder, giggling slightly when he made his way back to the corner to sleep. What an odd fellow.
Mercy took a small survey of people in the room, noting that everyone was starting to get settled and she STILL didn't have any damned movie equipment! Wait...Mercy's eyes widened when she saw yet another portal appear on the ceiling this time, and out came some movie equipment, anime, and a human? The tiny hunter raised an eyebrow, picking up the equipment, but not before poking the downed hunter with her toe. "Is he dead or?" Another dude without a shirt?
Maybe she shouldve put in some notes? Why do all these guys think going shirtless to a PJ movie party? God she lived in the BASEMENT for ******** sake! It wasn't exactly warm down here...Whatever, if they wanted to catch some sort of cold death down here, that was their business.
Eh didn't matter, she had the equipment she needed and so she started setting it all up, finishing just as more people arrived, Including another shirtless man and....Mercy recognized the girl from twitter, but that didn't mean she still stiffened a little. Taking a deep breath, she walked towards them, wincing when the shirtless dude called out to Harper. "You do realize this is an enclosed area right? Try not to yell brah, I'm sure you could've walked over to her or something..." She hopped that didn't sound too sassy, but the red head put her on edge a little.
"Anyways, Name's Mercy, what are your names?"
Actually....
Mercy looked around for something to stand on, climbing on top of her bed and taking a deep breath, making sure to not step on Momo while she was practically jumping up and down on her bed. "GUYS! PICK A PLACE AND PARK IT PLEASE!!" She wanted to start this thang so she could see some action! Her body was ready DAMN IT!

Ava was sure she was late, but she didn't actually own any PJs; preferring instead to sleep into her underwear and so she spent more time than was necessary trying to find somethig that passed as PJs. She decided to go with gym shorts and a singlet and, of course, cat socks. She'd thrown a pillow and a small throw blanket into a large bag, along with a small flask disguised as a water bottle; the liquid inside was clear but other than that, was undiscernable.
She didn't knock, instead hearing the commotion inside, she slipped in. She hadn't set out to make friends when she came to the island and she would've frowned on this as a distraction from work. But it seemed they were on down time and she may be able to gather some information and maybe find some likeminded allies. She recognised Mercy from her twitter handle and gave a slight wave before shuffling to one of the few free spaces in the room and plopping down.
Overheard what Ana said, Shu's smile frozen for exactly two seconds before she slowly lowered her head and pinched where her tummy should be. It can't be help right? Because she was a super sweet tooth. The petite hunter decided she didn't hear that and let herself enjoy the newly established friendship with the bunny mask girl. Her blanket was put to the best use, it's shared between three people!
The yelling of the Sun lead surely drew everyone's attention, luckily, the years spent on the island made Shu already accustomed to his antics. He was adorable in his pokemon suit and extremely cheerful, that was a good thing for morale boosting. In addition, like every pokemon, the man possessed a useful skill of opening random portals as he wishes.......that's helpful, right?
When there were things falling from above, she hoped Mercy was not within the range for safety reason. However, it was the person that was dumped afterwards alarmed her. "Uncle Mark?" Shu was confused of the Sun lead's intention for that, whether he thought the tech also deserved a movie night or they needed a technician (Why not Dwight then?). It puzzled Shu but his pets were the main problem. The petite Death suppressed her desire to summon her hammer in Mercy's room and kept a close eye on Mark who was still passed out. She has a Ana to guide from his disgusting friends!
Shu peeked up and jumped when Horace shouted, a curious head tilted out to check who was yelling that loud. She wasn't surprised to see Horace's face but she was waiting for being introduced to new people in bright eyes. Nope, she pouted, slightly upset when the tall Death began to sass at Hattie like usually. They continued to talk as if she wasn't there, she got slightly upset and leaned against Ana's side for a while before she decided that wasn't like her at all. She might be small and blocked and not wearing platforms that day, but she was a cheerful girl.
She sat straight and stretched up, curling out to wave at the all the three people. "Hello Hattie and Horace and Mister." She gave them a warm smile before she moved back, turning around to answer Mercy's question. "Nah, not dead, but I suggest making a fence around him, you surely don't want his little friends to run around." The petite Death rarely grumbled and waved her hand.

Maybe later? There was no later. Not with the small girl that had sat to Ana's other side looking, watching, waiting. Tommy had it in his head that her looks were mainly to make sure that he ate the chocolate, and that if he didn't, she might become upset.
With a small flicker of unwillingness in his gaze, an inward sigh, and a silent promise to himself that he would head out after the movie to work out on the training field to make up for this, he took a much larger bite of the chocolate bar, chewed it down, and swallowed.
And that's when Ana leaned in and whispered at him. He couldn't help himself. He let out a loud, gasp, his eyes widening. "What?!" he said in a hushed tone that was actually in reality quite loud, which completely defeated the purpose of being "hushed". Of course, after that, he had to laugh, and then he leaned towards her in turn, voice falling to much quieter whisper this time. "I think what you are saying, cara, is that you will owe me for this."
He grinned and leaned away, and took another, much more deliberate bite of the chocolate bar, "You can come with me for a work out after the movie. For moral support. Deal?"
When Horace arrived, shirtless of course and with a shirtless man in tow, Tommy's eyebrows rose in silent question, though did not get a chance to say hello before a red headed pest by the name of Hattie suddenly appeared. When she made a face at Tommy, he responded by blowing her a kiss, and setting the remainder of the chocolate bar down beside him so that he could make a heart shape with his two hands in front of his chest. Then, upon overhearing what Hattie had to say about him being a gross hobo, he snorted, shook his head, and turned to the two women sitting side by side beside him.
"That is just my roommate, Hattie. It is actually quite unfortunate that I must share a room with her, as she smells much like the garbage she claims I sleep in." He said this all more than loud enough for her to hear, and cast her a wink and a grin.

Ana almost stumbled on herself in an attempt to cover his mouth with one hand when he gasped, because she was sure he was going to deliberately out her. But her hand never actually made it there, stopping about an inch from ever touching him before her hand snapped back to her side. She wasn't ready to go putting her hand on people's mouths, just yet.
Her face soured with dismay as she was suddenly indebted to him for giving him her chocolate. How, exactly, did that work? She wondered if he was just trying to trick her into some untoward thing, but she needn't wonder long. He offered a workout as her payment, and her eyes lit up bright as christmas lights.
"Well. If I must." She muttered, trying to act like she wasn't excited about a good, healthy workout after sitting around in a room with people. They would probably try to give her more snacks, too. She could feel the sticky fingers from here.
Horace caught her eye just long enough to make her dip back down under the blanket, where she was safe. Ahh, this was nice. Everyone could just watch their movie and have lots of time to talk and get to know one another. She would be just fine, under here. It was warm, cozy, and limited to a total of three people's view. Heaven.
