i'm getting a good grade in yogen lore, which is something normal people definitely try to get
Who: Whoever's in the dormitories
When: Friday, October 1st
What: It's time for a little lecture. And a genuine information meeting. But mostly a lecture.
Warnings: N/A please don't make me change this.

Yogen and You: A Quick Summary
Held by Natsume Sakasaki
For those who need a summary of events, whether because our meetings rarely get anything done in terms of information sharing or because you're freshly awakened. Come around dinner time for food, enlightenment, and the opportunity to share your troubles with those going through the same thing.
The room will be locked all day until about half an hour before six, at which point it will become unlocked... this is primarily for Natsume to set up a table of food, but people can come sit in early if they like. There's an overhead projector that's been wheeled into the study hall all the way from school, and the curtains are drawn over the windows. It isn't dark though, since he still has the lights turned on...
Several tables have been pushed together to make at least three groups, chairs around them like they've been readied for a dinner party, while a few more are pushed a little further back and have absolutely no chairs whatsoever; those are for the food. There's also a chair by the overhead projector.
Your food and drink for tonight: lemon and rosemary roasted shrimp, white rice, rosemary and thyme chicken, a make-your-own-salad area with all kinds of salad-making ingredients, three types of eggrolls (seafood, vegetable, and pork), and various drinks from the vending machine because some of us can afford to spend a bunch of merit points on things like that.
When a sufficient amount of people have come in, or the clock hits 6:05, Natsume shuts the door, turns off the lights, and moves to the overhead projector. To stand on the chair, so he's the tallest person in here, and claps his hands to get people's attention. )
Save all questions and outbursts until the END, ( he says, and then kneels down on the chair and flicks the projector on.
All of the slides are pre-written on some transparent sheets that project onto a wall without windows, which he reads one by one without rushing! But for ease of reading OOCly, you can find the entire thing here. There's also photocopied handouts for people on all of the tables, stapled of course, so people who aren't blind (sorry Helena) can follow along at home!
He lets the last sheet stay up, his face half-illuminated by the overhead projector, then sits down in the chair and leans forward the back of it like some kind of delinquent. )
Alright, you can speak NOW.
( ooc notes: go ahead and treat this like one of our meetings, aka mingle, jump around, actually get a chance to share information that hasn't been talked about yet, etc. thank you plenty to enh and peace too for reviewing and suggesting things for the presentation \o/ )

( them being trapped there, like it or not, was a very real possibility. amami's still not entirely convinced that it isn't. )
no subject
( said with a smile! a weak-as-fuck smile, but still! she's trying! )
no subject
( good to know about the flowers though; not something amami was familiar with, himself. in any case, he'd like to hope that the smile he offers is reassuring. )
The unknown can be a good thing too though — even if it's a bit scary taking that step into it at first.
no subject
( she may have forgotten to say a word because i thought i typed it... oh well!! )
... I hope that wherever they go, wherever they end up, it's something nice. ... Say, do you think Yogen is the only place like this?
no subject
( not enough flowers to account for all the people who lose their lives in a day in one world, never mind pulling people in from across all kinds of different times and places. he tilts his head a bit, pocketing his hands. )
Yeah, I think there's other places too. They might not work the same as this one though. Who knows, maybe they've got a corporate office limbo, or a shopping center limbo — maybe it depends on the person?
( he thinks it's cute to think on, though he's not sure if she's the type to agree or not. )
no subject
( LOOKS AT LUCIFER. OKAY SURE- anyways. )
... He also said that the school wasn't always like this. B-but I think we need more information for that...
Anyways... I guess what I'm trying to say is, uh... young ones go to school, right? So, maybe older souls do have a work limbo. ... I bet they have to learn healthy work-home balance!
no subject
( he can't really put an age to a soul, or say what would qualify as young if they're talking about reincarnation, so he'll just accept something like that would be an adequate excuse for why they'd be roped here. he'll give it some thought though — appreciates the way she plays along, and the small details she shares. maybe he can expand on them a little bit. )
Anyway, he mentioned the same to me before, about it changing here. I think I've got a hunch what might've happened, but I have to say, I'm not entirely convinced it was all that great to begin with either.
no subject
...
( she misses tsuchigomori-sensei. but she knows now- if she saw anyone show up here, her heart would break into thousands of pieces. sure, she'd recover eventually, she always does, but... ... anyways, sensei would hate this place. and he has his own duties. but maybe... maybe he could bring hanako-kun back home. he has his own duties too. )
I think... that maybe the souls who fell from the tree are going to a different place, then. Something that will suit their needs more, maybe. They just have to get there. Maybe that's what the spider lilies do.
Can you tell me? Or... would now not be a good time?
no subject
( it's not the same as bringing down the mood at one of her softer events, like a sleepover, where he feels that kids like her especially would need a break. this is a meeting that's meant for this kind of information — for sharing what they know and to better understand the situation. at the same time, he's reluctant to dump the entirety of the weight of whys on her all at once, so after a short pause, he comes to a compromise with himself. clearly, she wants to help, and it's possible that she may have more avenues to do so than he does, or at least know people who do. )
It's something that happened a few years back. I'm sure you saw how the right wing of the fourth floor is all burned out, yeah? Filled with gorinto stones and all that... Well, I was told that the atmosphere in this place might've changed for the worse after the fire that caused that.
no subject
( maybe... maybe the school needed healing in a sense, too. )
no subject
( it is enough to give him the framework for a plan though, just needs to work out some minor (major) details. )
Well, hard to say relative to us. I'd figure there were a few students around back then who're still around now considering the tallies, yeah? But in terms of actual years passed, it was a lot longer than just a handful.
no subject
... I wonder if we would remember too, if we weren't dealing with two sets of memories. I don't know if I would, since I'm just a first year, but others, maybe?
no subject
( it's his gentle way of saying he's not sure how connected that is, and it's a bit of a leap on its own. )
Even if you think about the first set, it's not like you remember anything all that strange happening, right? It feels too normal...
( shaking his head. )
Either way though, we can keep looking into things. We'll figure it out one way or another.
no subject
[that's so sad... how can he make them not give up.]
Or moving on, I guess.
no subject
(
*nene.* )
... We don't know what's happening to them, ultimately. I'm not sure we could find out, either. I'd like to think it's something nice, though.
( nicer than nonexistence, that is. ... u-unless that's what they want? )
no subject
he'll lower his voice, leaning closer.]
What if the ones that're falling off are the ones that couldn't graduate and became that non-existence Kudo-chan mentioned? They might be getting a new shot somewhere else, since they wouldn't here.
[LIKE, BRIGHTSIDE MAYBE]
no subject
( chiaki kudo was a lot of things- but nene didn't think she was a liar. but... there's a difference between telling a lie and telling an incomplete truth because you don't have the information. )
... I want to believe. But... something like this, we can't chance it on maybes alone, I think. So... hope for the best, but prepare for the worst... that kind of thing, right?
no subject
[even if it's the worst, maybe they can make it better.]
Nothing's "impossible", after all.
