Dalton Academy for Boys - a Glee RPG

Who: Ben & Benji
What: Comforty goodness?
When: Friday, mid-afternoon/early evening
Where: Chi-town
Triggers: Potential triggers for Religion, Homophobia, and Abuse

Even though Ben had reassured him that he wasn't being a bother, Benji still felt bad for pulling him away from the others. Especially since he was sure that their time together would be a bit if a downer for the former Daltonite. Still, he wanted to see the other boy and couldn't bring himself to back out. If that made him selfish, so be it. After dropping his things in his hotel room, Benji had texted the older boy to see if he'd arrived at the hotel yet; receiving an affirmative response, he'd grabbed a light hoodie and slipped back into the hall. Grateful that the hotel wasn't too difficult to navigate, the Warbler made his way back to the lobby to wait for Ben.

Sitting down in one of the seats near the doors, Benji pulled out his phone, fiddling with it idly for a distraction. He bit his lip, glancing up every once in a while to keep an eye out for his friend. He hated how off he'd been feeling lately, and he was trying so hard to act like himself, but, truth be told, Benji was tired. He didn't want to have to act like himself - he wanted to be able to be himself again.

It's that time of year again! This year the Warblers are travelling to Chicago to defend their Nationals victory. Try and add an approximate time to any threads to keep track of them and as always, feel free to add in any other headers if there's something you'd like to play out!

The Warblers, faculty chaperones and supporters left Dalton on Friday around midday, piling into a bus to take them to Port Columbus International Airport (about a 20 minute drive) and then being herded on to a plane to Chicago (good luck with that, adults).

Any students who are members of the Warbler Booster Club are allowed to come with them, with parental permission. Other students wanting to support their friends will also be able to come, with parental permission, but preference is given to the Booster Club as there are limited numbers. Students are welcome to make their own way there and back, provided they have permission. Feel free to have any family/friends/alumni show up to support them.

Nationals will take place at the Arie Crown Theatre with the first performances early Saturday morning. The top ten groups after the first day will go on to perform again on Sunday, with the winners announced late Sunday.

When they're not performing, the boys will be staying at the Chicago South Loop Hotel where there will be two to a room for Warblers, or four to a room for supporters. Room swapping after dark is not technically allowed but since when have these boys paid attention to those sort of rules? If you want to claim roomies, leave a comment! I'll add them in here for reference.

FOLLOWING THE SAME SET UP AS CHOIR NATIONALS LAST WEEK!

Unlike New York, the Daltonites only take up one floor of the hotel as not as many people are in attendance. Swim team members are two to a room, non-swim members are four to a room (IM me to tell me pairings/groups!). The same rules and stuff apply as New York.

When threading, please put those involved in the sub-thread as well as approximate time and location (if applicable).

AND GO!

Who: Ron and Benji
What: a coffee/hot chocolate run
Where: a cafe in nyc
When: Sunday, May 15th
Rating: SFW

New Directions had already performed, and Vocal Adrenaline weren't set to go on until later that night, so Benji hadn't felt guilty asking Ron to step out with him for a bit. He could really only take so much of sitting around in that auditorium before he started to get a bit restless, and he figured that fresh air would do him some good; it seemed that he'd been right, too, as he was feeling better already. Bypassing the larger chains, they filled the silence mainly by discussing the competition until Benji came to a stop outside a cafe that looked promising. Holding the door for his friend, he offered a small grin, "After you..."

Who: Noah and Ron
What: Getting trapped in an elevator
Where: The hotel in New York

Rating: NSFW, in the long term, I'm assuming...

The Dalton Caravan has taken up two floors of this swanky hotel. Each faculty chaperone is in charge of no more than six boys. Warblers are two to a room, non-Warblers are four to a room.

First person to post in a room thread should put all the boys in that room in the subject of the post, please.

For morning threads, put them under the previous night. Monday morning threads would go under Sunday night, for example.

Rating: NSFW

They'd been in bed for barely fifteen minutes when Benji realized that he wasn't going to get to sleep - not with the weird, unfamiliar warmth that seemed to have settled into the pit of his stomach. To call it unfamiliar is a bit of a stretch, though; he'd felt it a few other times recently, mostly in fleeting moments and always around Vince or when thinking about him. Determining from the sounds of the other boy's breathing that he was still awake, Benji rolled over to face Vince and reached out, gently cupping his boyfriend's cheek for barely a second before leaning in and kissing him. He knew that Vince had been right there with him all along, but in that moment, it just wasn't enough. Benji wanted - no, needed - him closer; a feeling that was new and confusing - but also a little exciting - and Benji didn't understand, but he acted on it anyway. The kiss was needy - passionate in a way that their starting kisses never were - and he gave a soft whine, pressing closer when the older teen responded.
