[ORP] A Day in the Life of Rojo

[Smerdle]

Description: Rojo is a skeleton. He is covered with sugar skull decorations, but they never seem to stay in one place. If you turn away from him and look back, his markings will have changed.

Today's Clothing: Black pants of capri length elaborately detailed in silver thread. A wide black hat with a red scarf tied around it. No shirt. No shoes.

7:43 PM: [ UNDEAD DORM ROOF ]

Rojo's day had dragged. An early class, a stressful assignment due, an unexpected spar. Worst of all was the letter from home. It would have been treasured on an average day, but today it left him fumbling and homesick, staring out of his window as the sun set, debating whether or not to call his mother. He could not. He would not. He wanted to be strong and scary, and strong undead did not call home on a lonely Tombsday evening, no matter how great the temptation. Strong undead, strong creatures of all types... they danced.

Normally he just climbed the tree adjacent to his dorm and dropped onto the roof when he wanted to get up there, but he hoped to encourage others to join him tonight, so Rojo went out of his way to acquire one of the janitor's expandable ladders, a jolly orange and black contraption that shouted a comedic WHOOHHAHOAOHAOOAOAHAOHAAH as he extended it all the way up the side of the building. The calaca left a sign at its base that read DANCE PARTY with an arrow pointing up, then he began his ascent.

Once at the top, he turned his radio on immediately, the first few songs alternating between current pop and older latin dance music. At first Rojo just sat on the edge of the roof, his feet dangling over the side as he watched students and teachers scramble around below, but soon he rose, raising the music as he did. He danced. He felt better.

She was curious. The Monster dorm was farther back, so Nerisei got a chance to look around at (most) of the others while she walked back. Thanks to her curiosity, she heard the faint sound of music over the whisper of the passing students. She saw the ladder as she approached. She saw the legs dangling. She heard the music, and saw the figure stand and disappear a bit.

Standing down below, she was content to stick down near nature. The tree to the side was tempting, but instead she was content to listen to the radio and wonder what was going on up above.

7:47 PM: [ UNDEAD DORM ROOF ]

When the current song ended, Rojo stuck his skull over the edge of the roof. It was too dark to see much, but he called out anyway.

"Anyone there? If there are creeple with legs, they should come dance! The ones without legs should come too, I just don't know how I would get you up here. But if you can come, yes, you should!"

A soft snort-like noise came from Nerisei's nose as she heard the voice from above, sounding suspiciously like a bit of a laugh. Or maybe it was disbelief. It took a long moment for her to see something climb up the ladder too, though she didn't take too long to examine it.

Was it worth going up? It seemed like a lot of effort, and she wasn't sure she was that curious.

7:49 PM: [ UNDEAD DORM ROOF ]

When there was no response from below beyond the arrival of a new person who he didn't think was the one who had been lingering in the dark, Rojo stood to greet his new companion.

"It is a dance party!" he said, as if that made everything clear. Luckily, he continued his explanation without prompting. "Moving to the music makes you happy!" Unluckily, that explanation wasn't a very good one.

7:50 HE: Undead Dorm Roof

To most people, "moving to the music makes you happy," would be a very minimal explanation at best. Ignatius didn't really need any more explanation, though. There was a dance party. On a roof. The undead roof, in particular.

Hell yes.

The elemental stopped in his jog to bound up the ladder in no second flat and stand with Rojo. He shot him a grin. "Parties don't need a reason!"

At least, they didn't in his opinion. He just wanted to move.

Rojo's jaw opened in a pleased smile as the upperclassman joined him. Ignatius was so quick!

"No they do not!" he agreed, bouncing a bit as the song changed. The sudden appearance of the boil reminded him of all the instruments they had played at the student council booths. He would have to remember to bring them up when they weren't on a roof. For now, it was dance time.

"How have you been?" the skeleton asked, breaking into a jaunty shuffle.

7:50 HE: Undead Dorm Roof

Ignatius' dancing tended to be a bit more fast-paced, probably influenced from the fact that he generally was a fast-paced person, but even with all his arm and leg movement, he kept on rhythm. He loved dancing.

"I've been great!" And all things considered, he was. Besides for strange dreams and Human Fog Worlds, Ignatius had become a Hob, had reunited with one of his best friends, gained a pack of apex pets, and generally had no real reason to be down on anything.

Life was awesome!

"Yourself?" He shot a grin. "How's Student Council treating you?"

7:50 PM - Undead Dorm Roof

From the ground, Strider squinted up at the figures on the roof.

What were they doing on the roof?

Was it a secret party and he hadn't been invited? What the jack.
