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 )

[. . .]

How hurt, exactly?
closewithnewintown: (I don't black out at parties)

Ah.

[...]

Is it... an important arm?
closewithnewintown: (am I crazier than other patients?)

[maybe he has a favorite one we don't know]

Oh.

[pause]

He'll have to learn how to ride a bicycle again. [she doesn't know what to say about someone losing an arm honestly.]
closewithnewintown: ('til I have to lie down)

[she nods] I've helped friends when they got hurt before...! I mean, obviously never this bad, but... I'll do whatever I can.

[a long pause, after she somehow manages to bite back "oh no that means they're definitely gonna die."]

I mean... If his weird luck keeps him safe, it should sorta cover the others, right? Like an umbrella. After all, it must realize he's safer with people around him.

[honestly she just. assumes it's sentient. like it's a ghost.]
closewithnewintown: ('cause I've been so good)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-08-27 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[she looks at her for a moment, head cocked to the side.]

... It's okay to not be okay. [a pause, as a few months' worth of thought comes to a head.] Big Sis.
closewithnewintown: (are filled with disappointment)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-08-29 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
We're all in this together, no matter how big we are. And no one's too small to help a friend... Don't hurt alone, okay?

... I've never had a sister before. The only real family I have is my uncle... [and friends are different, she's always heard. but what if they stop feeling different?] It's nice. I like it.
closewithnewintown: (will loosen things up)

[what are parents that sounds french]

That's a really cool name for a hamster. [pause] Would Black Canyon want you trying to go through this by yourself?
