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?
sparknotes
All the maids and hosts come equipped with one (1) pair of cat ears and a set of clothes prepared by the sewing club, if you don't have your own attire.
All the background people who are helping with the organizational stuff, as well as cooking, cleaning, etc, can feel free to wear the cat ears, too!
Feel free to mingle, join in as a volunteer host/maid late, get dragged in to do work, leave your posts, whatever else you feel like doing, tbh.
Cause too much trouble for anyone, though, and Rika's gonna come bonk you with her sword. Or Liz with Thanatos, whoever's there first.
Any complaints can be directed to our offcial organizer, Ishimaru Kiyotaka. Bless his heart.

( he apologizes, and something in komaeda's heart shifts, and it makes him feel uncomfortable for the setting, and he wants to draw away. it's true, this doesn't feel right, and no matter how many times komaeda tries to reel himself in, he finds himself hooked on the end of a string, pulled in by whatever the drug has him hooked on. if he had it his way, he's place his hands on the table, pushing himself up, and just leaving only because their engagement shouldn't be like this. it's supposed to be different, he's supposed to be hated by hinata, and not catered — his mind for the moment feels one way during the other's hesitation, but his body keeps him stuck. )

...

( he closes his eyes, figuring out what works he has to say, and for a moment — his eyes die in color, returning to their usual sickly, pale green, and there's an anxious expression visible on his face with the way he bites down on his lip. as he does that, he glances at his hand, staring at his ring finger, recalling the specific gift that hinata would give to him — and if komaeda's hand had anything to do with being the focus point, it'd be that. it's only for a moment like he's reflecting on what he's done, but as he blinks, those hearts make home in the center, and his mixed feelings die for something stronger. )

You have to because... you love me?

( he tries to make it a statement, and sadly it's like he's fact checking his delusions, wondering if his choice in partner is correct — none of them have been so far, and the possibility of hinata also being a bust is high too. as if to inflate his own ego, to make sure that he's not wrong. )

Who wouldn't? So do it properly... you have to use your mouth.

( he noticed the way hinata's hand lifted, and that's not what he wants him to use. )

[He's looking closely enough now that he catches it. He sees the way that Komaeda bites his lip uncertainly, and he's drawn to that - presently - uncharacteristic motion, and because he's drawn to it so much, he can't help but see there's suddenly a splash of... pink? Color spreading through his eyes, unnatural for Komaeda's irises.

He thinks of the love spells, and it finally, finally clicks in his head what must be wrong.

And Hinata's chest squeezes.

It's not the realization that some, if not all of this, isn't real - Hinata has been aware of that for most of this. It's that Komaeda broke through whatever this is for a moment to make such an expression... and that he felt the need to ask for one of the love spells in the first place. Too many options for what that might mean, and too much to hope for any of them-

Hinata stops himself. ...Hope for?

He doesn't. Does he?]


I- [He cuts himself off. Doesn't acknowledge the first part, the way he didn't acknowledge Komaeda's confession all that time ago, because it's too much to handle. Hinata shakes his head in the meantime.] People don't usually use their... mouths, you know? My hands would work just as well.

[Very lightly - haltingly, at first, because contact with Komaeda still brings back bad memories of that day - Hinata reaches out to rest his fingers on the back of Komaeda's wrist.]

Besides... I-isn't that too embarrassing for both of us, with everybody else in here?

[His face goes hot just thinking about it. Admittedly, most of the other hosts are probably going to be distracted by all of the people rushing to see them, but...]

You're not embarrassed of me are you? I mean... it's me, Komaeda Nagito, also known as Ultimate Hope, I'm what everyone desires.

( he's back to the "norm" at the moment, finding ways to motivate himself as hinata works closer, grabbing his wrist, but the contact is... enough for him to draw his arm away. at the moment, he was fine with the other touching him, but seeing him so unsure himself as if he can't do this around people has made komaeda decide that maybe he's not ready. maybe he's not the ideal he's been searching for — someone who's happy with him, someone's who's not embarrassed of him...

does anyone like that even exist? )


Unless you don't want to be seen with me then...

( he rests his hands on the table, crossing his arms to show that he's changed his mind. anything he was going for then is left behind, probably a relief to hinata's sanity, but that gains low points in komaeda's affection field while under the influence of the spell. the longer this goes on, the harder it is to feel as if he's wanted here, not that it's hinata's fault, but it's komaeda's for being so damn picky. unsure of who he wants or who it is that he wants to want him, or maybe it's just that unhealthy need to be loved by everyone? because he is someone that should be loved by the masses? being hated feels...

unfamiliar, or it should, but he feels it now.

he reaches for one of the drinks to pull to himself, and with the straw in hand, he slowly stirs and looks out among the sea of people trying to see if there's anyone else that might be happy to be in his company. )

[Hinata lets his hand drop back down. Stupid, to grab onto Komaeda like that. Foolish. He should really know better by now.]

Not embarrassed of you, no. [Even if calling yourself "Ultimate Hope" is a new one, he thinks and doesn't say. Hinata isn't sure if he should be trying to break the spell or not, not when he doesn't know what the consequences of that might be.] Just of what other people think. But I always worry about that too much.

[Maybe he should've gone along with it anyway; Komaeda's embarrassing request that still makes his cheeks burn. Is it still in his job description to follow his guests' requests if they happen to be under the influence of a love spell?]

And you should know, right? How we've always followed each other around, regardless of what anyone else might think.

[It had never stopped him from seeking out Komaeda, or investigating together. Even when their classmates shot Hinata worried looks, he'd never let up even once.]

( he won't confirm or deny the topic of discussion, the things they'd do for each other in his love-sickened head, it sounds too easy to admit there's more to just following each other around. it's just like how he was able to make something up for him and rika, it's just whatever sounds nice to him sounds like the truth — if he says it to himself, it is the truth, because he would never think poorly of himself that he's underserving of these simple pleasures.

right? )


Anyway, sit down, I want you to enjoy being with me.

( with his hand, he taps the table to encourage the action. he stares at the table trying to see what things they have for them to indulge in — his eyes scanning little plates of candy, fruits, and then his eyes fall on a few boxes of pocky. oh, maybe that'll work, he thinks, and he points to the various flavors. he's close to making hinata pick one, but there's a flavor that stands out among the rest, and he singles it out. )

Pass me that one.

[Hinata quietly takes a seat, biting back the words that bubble up in his chest. I always have. Even when I didn't want to.

It plagues his mind - how much is Komaeda? Is there anything of him in there, or is it all whatever spell's been worked on him? That need to know is what keeps him here, trying to hold back things that he think will break the spell.

That, and... he still wants to hear the things that don't grate against his heart and mind, whether they're real or not. Selfish and hopeless.]


...I didn't know you liked Pocky. Thought it would be too sweet for you. [His eyes widen a little bit as he reads the label before passing it over. What the hell does "adult milk" taste like?] I've never tried this one before, though. Is it good?

[Something about it brings a smile to his face, even if it's one that's small and weak. He guesses even someone like Komaeda has a soft spot for certain sweets.]

( with the packaging passed over, komaeda proceeds to open it accordingly despite what's said to him. komaeda's tastebuds are as they always have been, a shame, because it's true... he's not a fan of sweets, never has been. it sounds like hinata's aware of that fact, which causes him to chuckle, shocked he'd say such a thing. )

I haven't tried it either... so it'll be our first time together.

( he unfolds the box portion first, the smell of it wafting up to his nose through the plastic as he can tell how sweet it may be. he's guessing that it's not supposed to be as bad as regular pocky, but at the end of the day it's still sweet (kind of), and he can probably only do this once before feeling sick to his stomach. )

...

( as he snaps it open completely, he pulls out one, pointing the chocolate covered end in hinata's direction. )

Don't keep me waiting, open up...

["It'll be our first time together."

Something warm, nostalgic and bittersweet, washes over his heart. It's something that friends would do, a sentence they would share. If they'd met normally and not trapped in a Killing Game, if they'd hung out after school-

The thoughts are knocked out of his head by the pocky pointed in his direction.]


You're feeding it to me?!

[Hinata really, truly does not intend for his voice to pitch that high.]

I... Um... [He looks around briefly. Truthfully, Hinata would be just as nervous as he would be if he were feeding a guest, but there's nobody paying attention to them right now thankfully.] If... that's what you really want, then...

[It's fine, he thinks to himself as he shuts his eyes and opens his mouth. There's nothing weird about this. He's making things weird and embarrassing in his own head, so he'll just... let Komaeda feed him... and that'll be that.]

Feed you? Don't be stupid.

( he's almost amazed at how dumb the other can be if he thinks komaeda is going to indulge like that. sure, his words may hurt for just a moment, but before hinata can react komaeda will slip the pocky between the male's lips. )

You'd be feeding *me* if anyone is to be fed around here.

( which is not a lie, hinata is the host after all. his other hand raises to lift up on hinata's chin so his mouth closes. once the treat is secure, he glances at the matcha flavor wondering if he should have grabbed that, he hums in thought as he looks back towards hinata. )

What does it taste like? ( he offered hinata the coated end, and the bread side belongs to komaeda. yet, he's curious of what it tastes like since his palate isn't the bed, and sweet things aren't his style. yet, if they were together, after school, because of komaeda's condition... maybe he would ask hinata to taste things for him so they could share it like normal friends. sadly, a world like that doesn't exist, they aren't normal — well, for now, hinata is. )
