( ...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/ )

There's... still too many things that are up in the air. We need to be able to consider all possibilities that are given to us critically. If we just believe things without doing that, it's thin-veiled.

[She sighs, yet again.]

And exactly. The fact that we still exist means that we can still do something, somehow.
moraloutrage: (I got this)

[personal profile] moraloutrage 2021-10-03 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm... Yes. That- that sounds right. There are still too many mysteries to resolve... other angles to consider. We have to solidify the truth for ourselves!

[But how to do that, he's less sure of.]

As long as we keep on existing... we can still work hard and make a difference. I still believe that firmly. Th-that... has not changed!

[personal profile] dereban 2021-10-03 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly. There may not be an immediate change, but I think there's something that can be done--even if we may not know what that 'something' is just yet. We just need to keep on thinking.
moraloutrage: (forget beam)

[personal profile] moraloutrage 2021-10-05 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
...Indeed. That is true. We only have so much information to work off of currently. If we don't give up... if we can keep on trying... we can find something that can change the tides in our favor. I... I would like to hope for such a thing to be found!

[It's the vaguest of notions, but he'll cling to any hope he can find right now.]
dereban: ([m] 30)

[personal profile] dereban 2021-10-05 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

Of course -- what I want might be different from what everyone else wants in the end, so... whatever decision people make - that's their choice.
moraloutrage: (noticing)

[personal profile] moraloutrage 2021-10-06 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
I see. ...That would be tricky if everyone is not in agreement. Especially in a place where stakes can be so drastic. [Life or death.] But I suppose that is something that can be settled when we reach that point. [He hopes peacefully!]

Human emotions are quite... complex. So I wouldn't be surprised if one or two voices were in conflict for one reason or another. We already have frustrating people in our group, after all.

[Not that she's going to be naming names, though.]

Maybe. We'll just have to see, won't we?
moraloutrage: (you must be mistaken)

[personal profile] moraloutrage 2021-10-06 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yes, that is true. Some people do have some more... difficulties... than others. I hope that things can be sorted out when the time comes, and surely I am willing to do my part as a mediator.

[He nods firmly.]

Indeed we shall! I will prepare myself for that day!
dereban: (pic#14190110)

[personal profile] dereban 2021-10-07 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
Mm.

[She nods, something quiet.]

Don't force yourself to be indifferent though if you're trying to mediate; your opinions are just as important as anyone else's after all.
moraloutrage: (pondering)

[personal profile] moraloutrage 2021-10-07 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... Yes, of course. [A soft nod.] I would like to act as a mediating force, but rest assured... I will not set aside or forget my own convictions at the same time. I will try to seek a path that all of us can agree with, Inaba-kun!
dereban: ([m] 83)

[personal profile] dereban 2021-10-07 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright-- [She smiles, although it's something small that doesn't entirely reach her own eyes.] as long as you understand that, I won't have much complaints. Although we may or may not have to make compromises.

moraloutrage: (at attention)

[personal profile] moraloutrage 2021-10-07 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm. [A slow nod.]

Yes, with so many people and wills involved, that may have to be the case. ...But again, those shall all be topics to be deliberate once the time comes.
