dorm fundraiser log

Just for the weekend, the classrooms 3-A and 3-B have been transformed into a host club and a maid cafe, respectively. The students are free to come and go as they please, as well as bring their parents, siblings and whoever else to come help raise funds for the dorms. The promotional poster hangs on the wall between the classrooms, its' artist unknown and left uncredited.

CLASSROOM 3-A

Aka the temporary home of a maid cafe. Decorated mostly in golds and blues, just for today, the students can indulge the illusion of being a Master and having some semblance of control in their lives.

The cafe serves coffee, tea, placebo love potions that taste like strawberry soda, omurice donated by the cooking club with an option to request a message written in ketchup, and a variety of sweets, including baked goods prepared by the transfer students. Some of our cute maids include Kaede, Nene, Natsume, Noah, and, for a very brief time, Rika — though she quickly leaves to tend to the love spell booth. A little far off from that happens to be the kissing booth, ran by Subaru and Komaeda, as well as the charm-selling booth ran by Natsume. Any treats the students offered up for sale will be displayed on a makeshift menu written down on the chalkboard, with slightly-exaggerated prices, because this is a fundraiser and we can't have people skimp out.

CLASSROOM 3-B

Next up, the host club, with Lucifer, Sara, Hinata, Komaeda, Hajun, Gundham and Subaru working in shifts to appease the picky tastes of any students who feel like becoming a refined Ojou-sama.

Just like the Maid cafe, the Host club offers a variety of foods donated by the students, with an additional option to order an alcohol-less champagne, which is really just bubbly soda served in a champagne glass. But, you know, for the realism... A bit further into the classroom, you'll find Gundham's cartomancy booth, as well as Shuichi's lost & found booth. You're free to request as many hosts as you want for the occasion, and make them drink as much of the bubbly soda as you wish, all for a price, of course — and if someone's stomach starts to hurt, well... that's why they take turns!

HALLWAY

The festivities take part long before you enter either classroom, however...

Outside, you can find little Turing, who's all dressed up and eager to help and provide information about the boths, as well as our lovely Elizabeth, who, on top of making snow cones with her very fearsome persona, is offering quick-and-easy introductions for each maid and host, to make your choice that much simpler! Simply name whoever you're interested in, and you'll get to hear a witty line about them:

Nene

"A cute girl with a smile that's sure to heal your heart! The Sheep Among The Wolves, Nene Yashiro!"

Kaede

"There's no one better for a motherly, guiding touch! Our Lady of Passion, Kaede Akamatsu!"

Natsume

"Boys in skirts is certainly a bold choice for the year we're in, but if you can make it work... The Double-Crossing Crossdresser, Natsume Sakasaki!"

Noah

"Young but wise in the ways of love, this quiet boy offers an experience like no other! The Epitome of a Youthful Spring, Noah Ebalon!"

Lucifer

"Get lucky and you might just see his morning star rise! The Virtue of Patience, Lucifer!"

Sara

"She's serious and seriously not playing! The Hands-On Detective, Sara Chidouin!"

Komaeda

"The skin of a killer glitters with the light of hope! Despair's Friendly Foe, Nagito Komaeda!"

Hinata

"Even most normal-looking boys have something to offer! The Stand-Out Everyman, Hinata Hajime!"

Hajun

"You can't trust a man with looks this good, can you? The Octopus Trap of the Heart, Hajun Yeon!"

Gundham

"He's a friend to all things, living or dead! Yogen's Catastroprince of Ice, Gundham Tanaka!"

Subaru

"If you're feeling a little lonely tonight, why not make a wish on the first star you see? The Sparkling Knight of the Night Sky, Subaru Akehoshi!"

Well? Have you decided yet?

Like what? Like, say I wanted to have this first one over here be cast... What would I have to do?

[contrarily]

Trade secret! I can't just tell you all about the stuff I'm selling, y'know!

( it's not even that complicated, but, still... knowledge is power. can't have steph run around playing cupid? )

[closewithnewintown]

[sticks her tongue out] Fiiiiiine.

... I want the first one, but I don't have any money.

[contrarily]

( hmmm... )

I'll take last time as a payment. ( she won't say it, but... you know, the... hug...

anyways!! )

Who do you want it cast on?

[closewithnewintown]

Komaeda! For both parts of it.

[she seems to think this makes sense.]

[contrarily]

( oh, steph... )

... ( rika looks a little at a loss, but... well, you know what? it doesn't hurt to try. she's not sure what'll happen, exactly, if she casts it with this kind of intent, but... a customer is a customer?

so she takes out the red candle prepared for it, along with her box cutter, and carves three runes into it, setting it on the flat surface. )

Okay, I'm gonna need you to hold my hand, and imagine Koma-kyun as the target, 'kay? ( with her free hand, she sprinkles some dried flower dust over the candle, and then reaches for stephanie, getting a lighter ready. )

[closewithnewintown]

Gotcha! [she nods, clearly pleased, and takes her hand, closing her eyes tightly.]

[contrarily]

( her hand closes around stephanie's, and she moves the lighter to the candle, lightning it up.

the runes flash, and she nods, as the spell proceeds correctly. )

Now... think about Koma-kyun as... the requester, too. ( imagine two komaedas in a room holding hands, she guesses. honestly, she's not sure what effect this will have, but the spell is being cast, magic twirling around their arms, their bodies, rising high up in the air.

too late to cancel this now — whatever steph imagines will inevitably affect her target. good luck, komaeda... )

[commences]

[closewithnewintown]

[y'know maybe if komaeda had another komaeda to sit around with and talk about hope both would be a little less The Way They Always Are.

she opens her eyes once it's cast, grinning.] I hope that helps, even if it's just a little bit.

[contrarily]

( i think they'd just rip each other's throats out but, well... in the end, we will thankfully never know!! )

Ha... I doubt it, but... ( she lets go, and glances around, to see if komaeda's anywhere nearby. he doesn't appear to be in the room, though, so... godspeed to whoever has to deal with that shit now.

anyway. )

Oh, before you go... there's something else. ( she sighs, pushing a bottle of the placebo love potion towards stephanie. strawberry soda on the house. ) I spoke with Rocchi, and, I'll go ahead and tell you now that I didn't get to apologize on your behalf, sorry. Something urgent happened.

[closewithnewintown]

[YAY TREAT, and she's so excited the meaning of the rest of her words barely registers for a spell. when it does, she frowns.]

"Urgent?"

[contrarily]

Yeah, our conversation got cut short. It's not important.

( she shakes her head — not what she wanted to talk about right now, so, she moves onto the next subject: )

I asked him what you told me to ask, though. He... said that he didn't trade his memories with the counselor. Rather... he's been here for so long they simply faded by themselves. I dunno if he was lying — he seemed sincere, but you can't really know with him.

[closewithnewintown]

[considers this...]

I don't buy it. Their faces, maybe; you can be away from someone for so long that you don't really remember what they look like anymore. [clearly spoken from experience.] But, not names. Not of family. That's too important to fade.

He is one of the liars, though. At least, he tries to be. So, there is that to consider.

[contrarily]

Yeah, I... I don't think he's telling the truth, either. But he said the counselor can't help him, and that... this is his last year to try and graduate, otherwise he'll disappear, and we won't even remember him.

( she considers this, for a moment, and looks up. )

I didn't get to ask whether that goes for all third years, though... but if it does, then we're on a serious time limit.

[closewithnewintown]

"Disappear..." [frowns] The nurse and the counselor never said anything like that. They make it seem like we have all the time in the world, and then some more.

... How many of us are third years? I'm a second year.

[contrarily]

I'm only first, but... I know a few people in third.

( she glances towards the room — amami's the first one she thinks of, but there's a bunch of others, too. )

I dunno if we can trust either side on this, but I guess if you've been here long enough, the school's just like, 'fuck that, this idiot's not graduating anyway.'

[closewithnewintown]

[she laughs, briefly.] I'm a grade ahead of you. And we're not supposed to find that really weird...

... Well. I know I'll never graduate from here. That really narrows down my options.

[contrarily]

Yeah, I dunno how that shit works. What makes you go up a grade? What makes you stay behind? I... apparently Koma-kyun and I both have proof of being here for at least two years, so it's... really weird.

( why is she still in first grade? and if third years are going to disappear, does that mean it's better to repeat years than to graduate? hm. )

Well, you moved up a grade, right? So maybe you're doing something right. ... or wrong. I dunno about this whole graduation business anymore.

[closewithnewintown]

There's no way they'd let somebody with as few tallies as me graduate. Or, maybe that's why I moved up; they're putting the pressure on.

... Do you ever think about how the girl that graduated, when we woke up, didn't have an arm? [because she does!]

[contrarily]

Hmm... dunno. I don't think it's that big of a requirement — there's people in third year with very few tallies, y'know? Must be something else...

( not necessarily murder, but... honestly, thinking about this stuff gives her a headache, when everyone's being so damn cryptic. )

Huh? Oh yeah... ( ... she totally forgot about that?? ) Do you think she lost it graduating?

[closewithnewintown]

[sighs] Who ever heard of a game where they don't tell you the rules? It's unfair from the start.

The nurse said she was "competitive." [she pulls down her sleeve, looking at her tally mark.] Maybe she didn't wanna remember just how competitive she was.

[contrarily]

Competitive... like... she killed a lot of people?

( wtf... the nurse was so nice?? )

[closewithnewintown]

She definitely didn't make it sound like she was just really good at basketball. [pause] The basketball here probably involves murder, too. Probably. Everything is murder.
