( ...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/ )

Not a bad idea. There's definitely something important about that place, yeah?

( it's not how he thinks that side works, but she's at least working with him now, so he smiles. )

But to figure out how to break it, we'll need to figure out more about how it was cast, don't you think? The best way to know how to undo a knot, is if you know how it was tied in the first place. I think that's what Komaeda-kun was trying to get at when he said that everyone could work together.

And how are we supposed to work together when some people are refusing to listen? What good is having your eyes open if you have wool pulled over them?

You can't force everyone to get along, Stephanie. You can try to help them understand, but the more you push, the more likely they are to push back against you.

You choose what's best for you. Other people will choose what's best for them. Maybe when we know more, we can make our case and they'll be convinced. For now, I don't think it's fair to get mad at them for choosing what they think is the safest option in a place like this, and we can ask them for help in other ways.

[her expression is still stiff, but... the heat leaves her eyes. tears form in the corners, but she blinks them away, hard. she sits down at a desk, her arms still folded firmly across her chest.

she used to like it, when people sounded like him. now it just makes her sick. she doesn't want to think about why.]

( ah, yeah — amami feels kind of bad about it, but it probably can't be helped, in a situation like this. he'll take a seat next to her, watching with concern in his eyes as he tries to meet hers. )

Hey, I know it's hard right now, but it'll be okay. These things — they take some time, that's all, but you're not alone. We'll figure this out.

( he offers up a smile, apologetic, but at the same time an attempt to be reassuring. )

Do you want a hug?
closewithnewintown: (of just one pair)

... I don't know. [if it'll be okay? if they'll figure this out? if she's not alone? if she wants a hug?

she probably needs one, she thinks. can you need something and not want it?]
