build me up, buttercup

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 )

[Sara looks up from her desk where she's been studying English when Nene runs into 1-C. The younger girl looks frankly, awful, but before Sara can worry about that, she stiffen at a familiar name. ]

You're friends with Sou - You mean you haven't seen him? [ She thought he'd been avoiding her after the events on the fourth but he wouldn't avoid a girl like Nene. Despite his best efforts Sou was too soft hearted for that. ]

The last time I saw Sou was the meeting last week. [ She says quietly, closing her book. ] Have you seen him since the fourth?
samuraiwomen: (uh sou)

NOT MY DAD................and clamor keeps ditching her,,,,, lonely 1-C

[personal profile] samuraiwomen 2021-08-24 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
So he's eating. [ Thank you Nene, really. She means it. ]

...Sometime's, he liked to wander off to explore. [ Game breaking...had he found something that was taking up his time. ] Maybe he found something? It'd be like him to go follow up on it without telling anyone...but I thought he was getting better at talking to people.

[ That doesn't explain Hajun, or Sidney, who hasn't come back to the room in a few days. Still, Nene is panicking like she might run off again. Sara doesn't want to let that just happen. If people are vanishing, and something is afoot then nobody should be alone. ]

Lets look for them together, alright? Two pairs of eyes should be better then one.
samuraiwomen: (Default)

RESPECT HIM SO MUCH FOR THAT BUT ALSO PLEASE SLEEP

[personal profile] samuraiwomen 2021-08-24 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. We were trapped in the same game together. [ She gives Nene a polite smile. ] It's not so odd, is it? That Hanako boy is your friend, right?

[ She offers Nene her hand. When you're panicked, its best to feel like there's someone beside you, isn't it? Sara isn't very good with words, and she isn't sure if Nene would want a hug, but Sara can stay by her side while they look for everyone. ]

So you've seen the classrooms...should we check the versions of the void as well?
samuraiwomen: (uneasy)

[ She reaches up till shes holding Nene's hand with both of hers and gives a soft squeeze. ]

Focus Nene. [ Maybe speaking softer will help her trembling. ] We have to work together to find the truth, alright? You can depend on me to help.

[ Now let her let go with one hand so she can grab that knife she has in her jacket pocket real quick. Yes, Sara carries an absurd amount of weapons around with her now. Komeada going missing for a few weeks isn't gonna stop her from being prepared! ]

It might do some good to check. Then we can maybe ask the teachers, Nanami and I used to have a plan to interview most of the students here, a few of them might know something.

[ She's going to work those ankles down with all that running...not her cutest trait...

Sara nods and pricks her finger on the blade, letting a drop fall to the school and the familiar void rise up around them. She quickly wraps and pockets the knife again and takes Nene's hand.
]

Now. [ She raises her voice to point at the shadowy door with a confident air. ] Lets track those jerks down!
samuraiwomen: (into the light)

nene...my sweet [tucks her in]

[personal profile] samuraiwomen 2021-08-25 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
...

[ The doors they open in the void school don't even so much as squeak. The void students don't chatter. Sara squeezes Nene's hand back. ]

I had a friend who vanished once. Someone really terrible told me he was dead. [ She starts lightly, trying to pick her words carefully even if the overall effect is that Sara is a terrible storyteller. ] Someone back then told me to believe in him, that'd he'd escaped. So I did...and he turned out to be fine. He showed up right when I needed him most.

[ Keiji. She wishes he was here right now. Her ever dependable ally. ] Hajun-san and Sou are smart...and they aren't reckless. If they're gone it just must mean that something really important is happening right now.

A spirit who just wanted help...

[ A spirit who could make everyone forget you. Wouldn't such a thing be sort of nice? Nobody would be left with the pain of grieving you...but thats an irresponsible thought so Sara shakes her head and sighs. Nene's story sounds fanciful and terrifying all at once, like a fairy tale. But what Nene says about loss, about losing people, Sara gets that. ​]

We all have a responsibility to move forward, no matter what. Losing someone won't ever be the end. [ They're blunt words, but thats what's kept Sara going through the deaths she personally orcastrated as her groups little leader. She spent such a long time mourning and denying reality but that wouldn't help her or anyone else. ]

But that doesn't mean I want to give up on anyone. So, we move forward and we hope that they're okay! I still believe they're okay, Nene.

[ Sometimes remembering someone isn't any good. Sometimes no matter how precious your memories are, the only thing to do is to stuff them into a box and never think about them ever again. But thats a bit of advice Sara can't give a girl like Nene.

Still she'd like to remember Nene, if anything happened.
]

The...the roster! [ Sara turned to grip Nenes hand tightly, beaming at her in the darkness of the school. ] Of course! They're still on the roster! So this school isn't done with them yet! So...this is just part of the game!

[ Just because this school doesn't want to act like a killing game doesn't mean it isn't one. Not in the ways that matter. ]

This place has rules...I know it. It wants something from us, something that means people aren't here. Is it our fear...or is everyone who vanished being tested or something... [ This school seemed to like tests. ]
samuraiwomen: (point)

[personal profile] samuraiwomen 2021-08-30 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...sorry right. Before we came here, both Sou and I were trapped in some sort of of game where we were supposed to kill eachother.

[ It's a bit easier to admit that now that she knows Sou is around to back her up on it being Real and Bad. ]

So...it was people toying with us. Just like this school is. But even they had their own weird rules, and if you could exploit them it was possible to get the upper hand. [ Then again, this school probably couldn't be run by a mere single person, could it? ] Did ghosts ever work the same way? All this magic and haunted stuff is like what you dealt with in your world right?

[ Give her the forbidden ghost knowledge. ]
samuraiwomen: (nuetral 3)

[personal profile] samuraiwomen 2021-09-01 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah. It was. [ She waves a her free hand to try and dismiss the topic. A good psychological horror genre...well Nene's not wrong. ]

I think it works as a way to understand this place? We've all been brought here from our own "near shores"...and now we exist in a place that has its own rules and interference upon us. [ She's letting it slot into her conception of the school as a game. This school has rules, this school has a power over people that can't be explained normally, and this school brought them all here for something that feels like a test. Something that probably relates to why their friends vanished. But she just doesn't have enough information. ] The issue is...beyond the school itself I haven't seen any supernatural entity behind all this.

I wouldn't mind talking to Hanako-san about it, if you'd be willing to introduce me?
