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 )

It's always... so quiet here.
( she has to think mundane things- she has to, or... )
nene...my sweet [tucks her in]
[ 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.

... At home... there was a spirit once. Anyone who stepped into her domain and failed to help her as she wanted was turned into a doll, and forgotten by the rest of the world, aside from people who could interact with the supernatural. My best friend was trapped there- her own mother had know idea who I was talking about when I called her... but Hanako-kun and Kou-kun and I were able to save her and everyone else.
But even then, seeing Aoi-chan like that... I think it's the first moment of true terror I'd ever felt in my life... the first sense of loss, before I realized there was time to save her...
( she wishes creepy dolls and a fox in mourning were the worst they had to deal with, honestly. )
I- after Izumi-nii... a-and Hajime-nii's amnesia... I don't want to lose any more people. I'm tired of it.
no subject
[ 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.
no subject
when they escape... would anyone know the ones who died here? would they even be able to tell, considering they're from separate worlds?
would the survivors be the only ones to know?
what a heartbreaking thought. )
... I know. They- they have to be. And! They're still on the roster! But... them disappearing- it doesn't make sense...
( amami and hanako-kun ALSO fucking vanishing isn't really helping anything though! )
no subject
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. ]
no subject
( well, that's one way to think of this. though sara doesn't seem like those edgy, chuuni types in movies who take disasters as a sign that they can do whatever they want, that the world is their oyster in the peak of tragedy and horror. so... maybe 'game' means something else to her? like a boundary, maybe? )
Ah... it. It could be both...
no subject
[ 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. ]
no subject
( but she doesn't have a lot of time to linger on the horror, because sara's asking questions. which... fair. )
Ah... A powerful supernatural being would have something called a Boundary- it's territory on the Far Shore, with a portal to the human realm through the Near Shore. Inside a Boundary, everything is to follow their rules. Hanako-kun, even as the strongest supernatural at Kamome, would even be subject to it without interference... he thinks that this place is a Boundary. I'm... not sure I agree, or at least. I don't think it's like others we've dealt with?
( the closest it would come to was the painted world. but... )
no subject
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?

( it's a nice thought, isn't it? they can all escape this hell and be free from the ones that might have been waiting back home, too. move on, move forward, without either hindering them. ... but. they still don't know how they got here, and what being freed will mean. )
It's similar, yes, but I don't think it's exactly the same... though, there was one instance kind of like this, but... ( it still doesn't feel right. there's got to be something else to it. ) I can't explain this feeling that I have.
( and then there's the reminder that hanako's missing, and nene freezes up. it's- it's fine. he's strong. and capable.
but.
it isn't. this isn't like his investigating the months before, it's- he's gone. )
... I will.
