( ...In less coded news, the dormitory's study hall will have a note taped to it:

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/ )

What's good about that? I don't want a mature soul, or to be anything else. I'm not done being me yet. I'm only interested in going home.

[subaru looks away, seemingly stumped for a moment, before looking back at her and nodding.]

Me too. Honestly, me too. There's still so much I wanna do and see, I just dunno how we'd get home. Like, we'd need to know how we got here first, and--

[if it is dying, well.]

It just sounds like we've got one road. I don't really like that, 'cause then I wanna make my own road, but I dunno where to start on it.

We find out exactly who the monster in charge of this place is, and we beat them up until they let us go. We hit them. Maybe stab them a little.

[this would probably be a lot funnier if she had even the slightest hint of emotion in her voice.]

I think you've been hanging with the wrong crowd.

[stabbing................. a girl her age-- well, no one should deal with death, but her age shouldn't.

he'd know from experience it's not great. he'll scoot his ass over to sit more with her.]


We'll definitely throw hands with 'em, and then we'll torture them with the most boring things known the mankind until they fess up, fix what's going on, and let us go. But we won't stab them.

Stabbing should be on the table. It seems to work pretty well for getting things you want.

[just absolutely annihilating this egg roll.]

Besides, you probably can't kill it. But that might be useful. You can just hurt it really, really bad. It'll do as we say or we'll make it hurt more. That will probably work.

[...........

he's gonna take the eggroll from her and then take her hands.]


We're not gonna go that far, no matter who wants to. I won't let them. There's no reason to do that much to someone, Steph, even if it "works" sometimes.

[the only change in her expression is a slight frown, eyebrows furrowed. she looks down at her hands, then back at his face, her head cocked slightly to the side.]

It's not a someone. It's a monster.

[personal profile] starrypoint 2021-10-02 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
[a rare frown crosses his face and he doesn't bother to change it, squeezing her hands.]

Even monsters are "someones". C'mon, give way a shot, and if they still don't give in the end no matter what we'll go with yours.

[as a last resort.]
closewithnewintown: (of just one pair)

[her lips narrow into a line.]

Doing that got me here.

The pink-haired brat has the right idea for once. There's no such thing as "only one road".

[reclining in his seat a little... he hasn't shown much of a reaction to the "we're dead" thing thus far, so he might as well explain why. because from his perspective—]

We're here now, aren't we? You could say that, in our current state, we are "alive" in the physical sense. So what does it matter if we died to get here? "Life" and "death" aren't purely black and white. There are states of existence that exist between and outside of those concepts.

If you want to consider the options this place is offering, go ahead, but I'm not going to waste my time with something as pointless as reincarnation. I'm fine with my current existence.
