WHO? Nene Yashiro and You!
WHAT? Open log!
WHEN? The first half of August! Prompts for the second half to open later!
WHERE? Various locations such as the home ec rooms and the courtyard
WARNINGS? Grief and coping mechanisms, tba?

i. home economics

( most days these days you may find the smell of something cooking wafting through the second floor- though with summer vacation starting soon- or perhaps it already has- it might be more rare. but for once, lucifer or one of the others hasn't beaten nene to the punch. she does not touch any meat that isn't fish or beef, she is careful with the vegetables she takes, and she does not make single portions. if you poke your head in, if you've been here from the start, it might feel familiar, the way she looks up and tries to smile. )

Are you hungry? Come have a seat.

ii. crafts

( there's new 'transfers' again. people who can't leave, who are stuck with two sets of memories. and nene hasn't met a lot of them personally, but she's seen them around or on the network... even if she really, really, really wishes she hadn't. but...

...

one may find nene in the second portion of the home ec rooms, sitting down and diligently working needle, thread and cloth together. if she isn't too focused, she might stop to smile and ask, )

Hi! Did you need something?

( or she might not notice you entirely. )

iii. after club meetings

( for all that she's never been in the role before, nene seems to be managing well enough as the gardening club president- even if one of her vice presidents withdrew from everyone. ... not that she'd made it especially official, she relied on natsume and lucifer both. ... she'll need to stand on her own someday, won't she? so...

... she stays behind later than most other members a lot. sometimes it's to tend to the plants belonging to those who- who vanished. sometimes its to keep an eye on the flowers that had been given to her by the gardener. sometimes she just needs to be with something living and kind, away from the stress of everything. maybe you catch her closing the door behind her as she finally leaves for the day, or maybe you see her half-slumped against a desk, watching the clouds in the window. such is the way it goes.

maybe you'll even notice she's tying her hair back in pigtails more often. )

iv. wildcard!

( closed posts or other ideas! let's goooo )

[subaru's taken to peeking into different places to see if any more coins will turn up (hint: they have not, and he's starting to think they don't have a "respawn" counter), and it seems like

nene

is a little too into whatever she's doing to realize someone's looking in.

subaru is not normally a quiet person, but he can be quiet; he grins widely and steps with an abnormal softness for someone who's so loud, sneaking up behind nene and putting his hands over her eyes.]

Guess who~!

( the moment hands cover her eyes, nene jolts with a soft 'wha?!', blinking rapidly like that will make the darkness go away. but then, given how long her eyelashes are, maybe it might. maybe the person responsible will feel them against his hand and get ticklish or something. ... probably not. )

Ah... ( that's subaru's voice, isn't it? hmm... ) ... Mmm... could it be... Shuichi-kun?

( hah. funny. )

[definitely not, though he wiggles his fingers because of it!!! and at the guess, he hums playfully, leaning closer to tease her]

Nooope~! Sai-chan and I don't sound that much alike, right~? Guess again! ☆

( nene giggles, leaning back just a bit- )

Oh gosh, maybe I'm hearing things? Hmmm... Sakasaki-Senpai?

( definitely not, but the mere suggestion makes her giggle even more. )

[oh boy he can pull out his special talent...!!!!

that is, he can mimic natsume's voice well enough, but his specialty is natsume's quirk.]

MY, you've caught on quICK, Little Lamb. I was only pretending to be Akehoshi-kun, you SEE? What a good girl you ARE...♪

( okay, no, that makes her lose it, cracking up completely. there's no way she couldn't, honestly. )

[YESSSS he's hugging her, helloooooooo free contact ☆]

Ahaha! Pretty good, right~? Natsume's soooo fun to mimic, but he aaaalways appears when I'm doing it to make fun of him~☆

[please spare him today natsume. thank u]

I-It was- ( nene can't stop laughing, but she does lean into the hug gleefully, resting one of her hands on his arms. ) I-If he shows up, the door on the wall goes to the other home ec room.

( know your escape routes! )

[ohhhh he is so touch starved. he needs to make some good friends so he can lay on them again.]

You're the best, Nene...☆ You'll hold him off, won't you~? He's weak to cute people like you~.

( listen she will accept it. she will. she is also touch-starved as all hell. )

I'll do my best, I promise. But if he gets past me, it's noooot my fault.

Then I'll just hafta use you as a meatshield, huh~? Juuust liiiiike this. ☆

[squeezes her tighter!!!]

So so, what're you making anyway? Matching bandanas for all of us schoolbound folks?

( NO NOT THE SQUEEZES!!! nene can't help but giggle, squirming in his arms a bit, light and warm for what feels like the first time in so long- )

I- If it's N- Sakasaki-senpai, I'm perfect- ( giggling, help- ) He'd never do anything to me--

It's, ah- here, feel the fabric. ( careful to not mess up her current progress, she holds up her project. it's a pale teal, the softest cotton- light but warm and pleasant. ) Don't you think it'd make nice jammies in the summer...? So, um, that!

[then he really is safe as long as he uses nene as a shield..!!!!! natsume'd get mad at him for that too, and he'd find some way to snipe subaru, but that's fine. nene seems reactive now, compared to the mechanical movements from before, and that's all that matters... idols are supposed to make others smile after all ☆

subaru'll feel the fabric carefully, oooohing softly]

It's really nice! Do you like sewing, Nene? [... ah, this reminds him of a certain someone—] Also also, have you eaten lately?

( and nene would fret and laugh, honestly. but it feels like subaru's always a breath of fresh air in this place, especially when there's no wind at all outside. )

Mhm. Sewing, cooking and gardening. ( she taught herself all three, working diligently for years to impress a boy she liked... it didn't work out, because in the end she didn't know him. for as harsh as he was about it, it was a good wakeup call... even if it took a while to sink in. but she doesn't say that, because there's something awkward about love and romance constantly coming up with the one person she's ever had to reject. besides, the next question is incredibly distracting, and she's clearly caught off guard- ) Ah- .... I don't... remember.

Yup, heard that one before. You've gotta be careful with yourself, Nene, you can't just work through the day without eating! You'll pass out or worse, y'know?

[right!!!! he's gonna give her another squeeze, then let go.]

Set your stuff down and take a break, I'll make you and me a pair of sandwiches to eat~. Got a pref?

[if only he could show off his cooking "prowess" better... but all nene needs is something to eat on the go, he knows this from dealing with anzu's same tendencies -- so a sandy it is]

( why does "prowess" fill me with fear, peace?

but nene complies, carefully packing everything away and setting it aside. not a lot of people come in there to sew, so she's pretty sure she can leave things unattended for a bit, which is nice! )

Alright... to be honest, I completely spaced on a lot of things today... Thank you for reminding me, Subaru-kun. ... OH- um... an egg sandwich? I can help make things too!

( since. you know. you gotta cook an egg to have an egg sandwich- )
