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/ )

[she can't tell him everything, not about her teacher, not about being silenced, but she can give him a little. a piece for how much he was willing to yield himself, and let his hand be held. it's a different way of saying thanks, when the word itself would not be enough.]
As long as you don't think I'm helpless, I can face down what happened.
no subject
( he comments, stopping by the wisteria once they're close enough, and luckily the wind doesn't blow as bad to cause the petals to stir. )
Just to accept what's here when there's something better, I worry for them, that's why stepping stones like us have to be that push... they have to accept the real world.
no subject
[it's hard to translate her feelings into his form of thinking, his form of speech. but if she doesn't try to phrase it that way, then there's no way he'll understand what she's trying to convey.]
Acceptance of that real world isn't enough to keep them there - they have to have something to cling onto, or they'll slip back into what's easier to process, what's right before them. Finding a foothold is just as important, and that can take place in even the smallest ways.
no subject
( but they said this place forced them to do things they regret, as for komaeda, he shakes his head with a small laugh. it's nothing like that, it's because he's already opened his eyes. )
What's there to cling onto when all they have is what's placed before them, hm... this is where they fail, not creating their own hope, and moving forward with that... it's why I'm here to help. I'd be so ashamed if they lied to themselves, they deserve so much better than that...
( he hums afterwards, and then his mouth parts for a soft yawn. ) Hope is found everywhere and in every little thing, it's what they make of it... I just don't want them to to grow weak thinking that hope... just stops in one place, hope is eternal and moves you forward... settling down isn't part of what hope it, it shapes your future, and that is everlasting.
no subject
[it reminds her of a conversation she had at a different time, and she lets out a hmmm.]
How familiar are you with poetry, Komaeda?
no subject
( that's what he does, read, and swallow down the words that's been said to him. he's a reader, he spends his time mostly in the library, and without following up on helena's previous words, he inquires about the latter. she must have a qoute prepared to him. )
What poem are we going psychoanalyze?
no subject
[fair to warn him, really, that it'll be exactly about the sort of people he detests, but her point is underlined in the context around it. that to give into what easiest is self-destruction.]
Do you know it? If not, I can ask the librarian to get a copy of his works, and bring it to you.
no subject
( he thinks on it, flipping through his memory, and there's a vague set-up of that specific poem that he can recall, bits and pieces of wandering men, wandering people that wanted to rest, that found no joy in the constant movement. )
I don't know much, ( or he doesn't reference it as much. ) what about it?
no subject
[so she can't do a recitation for him at the moment.]
no subject
( he knows enough of what the content entails, but he doesn't go out of his way to read it like he would a good mystery novel. )
There must be something about it if you're willing to recommend it to me.
no subject
[she won't have him reject it out of hand if he knows the whole story.]
no subject
( he sighs, and while he could be boorish about this, he'll use his mechanical arm to scratch at the back of his head, the sound in front of helena so she can follow. )
Let's go to the library then, save yourself a few days trip.
no subject
[but he'll hear her tapping along behind, dutifully going.]
