player event: fundraiser
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?

[ Nanami says softly, her hand pointing over to the plate of food. An onigiri she made, with something to drink as well. ]
... Has it been hard trying to do something like this?
no subject
[Hinata's voice pitches up in surprise.
The thought that Nanami would do that for him is...]
...You didn't have to, you know. [Quietly, he takes a seat across from her, trying to not look quite as embarrassed as he is.] But... thank you.
[In this school, Hinata is constantly hungry. It never, ever feels like there's enough food here, a constant pinch of hunger in his stomach.
But he doesn't rush to eat the onigiri, even though he ordinarily would. Just holds it very gently in his hands, feeling immensely touched.]
It was a little hard. [Hinata nods as he admits it.] But... There's something about it that's good, too. Refreshing, almost. There's still things in the back of my mind that hurt... but I still feel more like myself than I have for over a month.
no subject
[ Nanami says simply, watching with a gentle smile on her face. It takes her a moment and then with a prompted - ] Oh. I should have made something I could feed you with.
[ She had practiced with Nastume after all, but the thought gets passed away for the conversation at hand. ] Its hard to find yourself when everything around you is kind of working against you isn't it?
[ Nanami's eyes waft over Hinata, even mannered expression upon her face yet it is touched with a sense of warmness to it. Subtle but noticeable she doesn't look away from him. ]
... But Hajime always does find a way.
no subject
[His heart skips a little, with her looking at him like that after saying such a thing. It's not like she's giving him a bento or anything, but it's still...
I really won't know what to say... if you keep saying things like that, you know...? I feel like I can't even think straight.
A shame, that he's about to think straight even less.]
Nanami-! [He flushes again, protesting.] D-don't say things like that, okay? It's already embarrassing enough that doing it for other people is part of my job description right now.
[He is pushing thoughts of it from his mind, okay, he is not thinking about it. Anymore. No. Stop.]
In any case... Yeah. It feels like we don't even get to recover from one thing before the next is hitting us, just like on the Island. But...
[It's hard, to keep eye contact when she's staring at him so warmly, but Hinata keeps trying. Even if it's difficult, even if it's a little scary how hard his heart is beating... he doesn't want to look away.]
Because of everyone else, I'm able to find a way. That's what gives me whatever strength that I have.
no subject
[ A pause, she is completely still. Uncomfortably slow, having taken it upon herself to do nothing but simply look at him. If he new her well enough or anyone for that matter, her actions were that of someone extremely nervous. Despite seemingly sitting there, still. Blinking perhaps one too many times every so often. ]
... Ne ne, [ She speaks a little quickly. Now becoming a little more animated with her hands. ] Hajime if you want me to stop saying things like that I can...? But your flags are going to go down if you go that route are you sure?
[ Nanami gives the other a teasing gentle look, canting her head waiting for their measured response. ]
no subject
[It isn't always enough. But when it is... it does make him happy, when he can make things better for people, even in little ways.
But- Hinata's brows furrow a little, even as the redness hasn't completely left his face yet. Nanami... doesn't normally talk that quickly, does she?
...did what I say bother her?]
It's... not that I want you to stop, exactly, it's just- [Oh crap why did I say that-] It's... embarrassing, you know? And if you keep saying things like that I might end up thinking...
[He can't. Can't say it out loud. It's too much. He'll die. Oh look, let's talk about this other thing instead!]
Hey, what do you mean about flags anyway?
no subject
[ About thinking he has feelings for her too. Or maybe she's over assuming, her intuition maybe a bit off? Regardless of it, she will say what she wanted to say thinking that here was a better time then never. Feeling that the precedence of life being so short. Hanging over the fact of any moment any one of them could be lost...
Thinking well on the fact that she could just cease to exist thusly, since she shouldn't in the first place. All of it weighed on her mind for a while, the scene at the elevator made her want to say the truth of something SHE COULD say or admit to. Despite being able to say nothing else other then confer to her own feelings.
This was important to her, this she had power over... This she could give to him from herself.
Nanami's face turns into a softer smile, she looks genuine for once. As someone who ordinarily holds a neutral expression she looks natural now. Merely a girl who held feelings for another person. ]
.... I mean that your flags currently are really high with me, and maybe we are going to have a special scene in a moment.
[ She likes teasing him - was this a her thing or... A her thing? ]
no subject
[It's when she says "special scene" that it finally starts to click into place. There's several seconds of denial because it can't be, there's no way, it can't be-
But it may very well be. And Hinata can very suddenly feel his entire face turn crimson because. Oh. Oh wow.]
Are you... seriously making a dating sim reference right now? Is that- Is that what that means?
[He has to be sure. If he messes this up here he'll wilt right on the spot.]
no subject
Wait youre not suppose to guess Hajime.
[ Nanami puffs up, he is as smart as she is when it came to attempting to infer what this moment may be about. She being how she is, mildly embarrassed despite not knowing that she were really. Yet also wanting this to be a bit more special Nanami gets up and comes to sit a bit closer.
She pulls a few strands of her hair behind her ear. Adjusting gently so she can sit more appropriately before him. They are closer, their knees bump into one another and she looks over at him with a calm neutral expression once again. Waiting, she waits a moment and looks him over seemingly forgetting to breathe. When he tries to speak - and only after he tries to say something Nanami finds it in herself to calmly say, ]
I like you, Hajime.
no subject
[It's half-panicked because she's- she's pouting??? That seems bad, he should backtrack-
But.
Before he's even finished speaking, he feels his breath catch in his throat when she gets closer to him. It's... not the reaction he was expecting if she's mad, so maybe she's not?? Girls are confusi-
His brain screeches to a halt, her words echoing through it.]
Ah-
[She said it.
She really said it.
His heart is beating fast, too fast. It's almost a little scary. It feels like butterflies, feels like flying- but even through the whirling she is there. Calm. Gentle. Grounding.
Hinata breathes out, finally, and it trembles in the air.]
Nanami...
[His mouth forms around the words, I like you, too. Because, it's true, isn't it, he does-
It's terrifying. Thinking that, actually opening up that locked door in his mind to acknowledge it, is absolutely terrifying. But it feels right, feels correct, because what else could that feeling in his chest have been, sunny brightness that he never wanted to let go of?
That's what it's always been, hasn't it?
That's... what it was the first time, too, wasn't it?
That's what it... had to be... with Komaeda, too. Hadn't it?
"'Lover,' I want to hear it from your lips-" "To see me as unworthy of loving you, when I understand what you need-"
"I love the hope sleeping inside of you."
A sick, shaky feeling sweeps through his stomach. He can't, can he? Not feelings for a girl. Not for another boy. Not having feelings for two people at once. If he does, doesn't that make Hinata...]
I...
[...wrong, inside?
Part of him wants to cry, because- he should've been happy. Is still happy, more than he can put into words, could ever imagine. He feels guilty for feeling happy.
He doesn't know what to do, how he should process this. But Nanami still deserves an answer.]
I think- [He reaches up, hand shaking, and clutches at the front of his shirt.] Something... is probably wrong with me.
[His voice is hoarse, but then it drops into only a little above a trembling whisper. And it's sad, it's guilty - but Hinata manages the smallest of smiles.]
But... I think I like you, too.
no subject
However, he returns her feelings and Nanami takes her hand pressing it along her chest. Gladden by the fact that, her feelings were taken into account. Soaked into his own mind, and accepted with a sense of return to it.
That was enough for her, it was more then anyone like herself could ever hope for. ]
'Wrong with me?' Why do you say that Hajime?
[ As such, eyelashes flutter and the colors of them fawn over him. Canting a bit forward attempting to catch his expression and look him over. ]
... I don't want to overwhelm you, but is there something else on your mind?
no subject
He still can't tell what makes him feel more anxious.]
...It's nothing I should be saying outloud. [Because it's unfair. He's so unfair.] Nothing that you need to hear or bother yourself over, so... Don't worry about it, okay?
[He smiles at her, and that, at least, feels real. It's genuine, because the happiness is genuine. Hinata can try to parse through his feelings later.]
You... made me really happy, you know? I never thought I'd get to hear that from you.
hinata in subaru voice: I love <s>emilia</s> Komaeda.
[ You know that cute rumbling noise she makes when shes thinking and frustrated and kinda cute. She makes that noise because Hinata wont tell her - and shes young so sometimes even she gets a little full of herself. Its overwhelming that people she trusts and would tell anything if - she could. If she were allowed to. If her programming would let her - that she would. Whilst others wouldn't just say what was on their mind. ]
Hajime.
[ Nanami says with a taut, but soft and serene. Compared to the rumbling she had made. ]
.... I like being around you. [ 'You promised to show me new things, that I never understood'. ] .... When you smile, I feel the same feeling I get when I hit a new high score in Galaga. [ 'I want you to smile always'. ] Or any game.... Being around you is refreshing and nice. It reminds me always... That I can be myself. [ 'Even if you do not know who that is, all the way just yet'. ] It doesn't have to be right now.... But no matter what you can always tell me, what is bothering you or on your mind.
Ne, ne, because I like Hajime a lot and no matter what he is going through. I want to be there with you and help you through it together. [ 'A dream, a wish, because I know in the end it cannot come true'. ]
... Its impossible for anyone to not like Hajime... [ There was some... Teasing regard on that - but it was true. At least to her. ] Or deeply.... I'm happy enough just staying beside you, no matter what happens.
NOOOOOOOO IM CRYING NOT LIKE THIS
[He takes a deep breath, as if surfacing out of water.]
Slow... Slow down! If you say at all at once like that, I... [I'll fall for you even more. Which, maybe is a good thing, but his head's spinning like he's going to pass out. Voice quiet and flustered, he stares at her shoes because he's nervous about whatever embarrassing expression he must be making.] ...It'll make my heart burst.
[Part of him kind of wants to hold her hands. Is it weird if I do? They have even before they said they liked each other, so...
But that's something to worry about in a moment. He gathers himself, takes a few breaths even though he knows there's probably some residual red on his cheeks, and lifts his head again.]
...I think I should think about it a little more, before I tell you. Maybe find a better way to say it. [Nanami is always so understanding, but... Maybe, if he thinks on it a little longer, he'll figure out the right way to tell her. Or maybe, he'll find a way to break off that part of his heart altogether.] But... I'll try. As long as we can be by each other's side... you make me feel like I'll be able to try.
[He lets go of her sleeve, but leans back to smile at her.]
Because as long as we're together, things will be okay.
