November Event/tdm
11/08 - 11/13 Cultural Festival
The school campus opens its doors to the public early Monday morning, with family, friends, neighbors, and strangers arriving to fill up the halls, each visitor having eyes of gold and wallets full of cash. Festival events run from 8AM to 4PM, and pamphlets are handed out by students lining the locker area, which include a schedule and a map of the campus:
✽ The opening event on Monday is an idol performance in the auditorium by the twin star unit GEMINI, consisting of Natsume Sakasaki and Subaru Akehoshi. On Thursday afternoon, the music club will hold a performance in the auditorium, featuring the typical choir with piano accompaniment, a capella performances by smaller groups of members, as well as solos, with requests taken in between performances so members can switch off and take a break.
✽ The student store is open every day up until noon on Saturday, and while the absurdly high prices are still absurdly high, there is a sign up in front of the rock gacha that one of the prizes is an all day pass to any of the school's events for one day of the festival. The odds aren't worth the price, but it's not like the shopkeep reveals the odds.
✽ Class 1-B is hosting a themed cafe in their homeroom.
✽ Class 1-D has turned their homeroom and neighboring classrooms into escape rooms, which runs from Tuesday to Friday.
✽ The robotics/programing club and the gaming club have set up a variety of video games in 2-A, and are hosting a competition between visitors and their AI.
✽ Class 3-D is hosting a kissing booth in their homeroom.
✽ In the home ec cooking room, the cooking club is hosting a cooking contest, with student judges and prizes for the winners.
✽ The sewing club and the art club have put together a photo booth inside the home ec sewing room, featuring all sorts of props and costumes imaginable to try on and pose in front of a number of hand painted backgrounds. Photos are taken by an instant camera for visitors to take home a keepsake. In the art club room, the art club has a gallery set up, with paintings hanging from the walls and sculptures set up in front of them, and a strict no touching policy or one of the members threatens to scoop your eye out with a palette knife and she doesn't look like she's joking. There is a large open canvas, however, for visitors to try their hand at paints or charcoal or pastels on what will become a collaborative art piece done by an entire week's worth of visitors. Occasionally throughout the festival, an art club member will have a space off to the corner for portraits or face painting.
✽ The sewing club has also contributed plush toy prizes for various other class' game stalls throughout the school, where visitors can pay to play for a chance to win small prizes, and are able to trade up several smaller prizes for larger ones.
✽ Out past the courtyard, various sports teams host games throughout the week, including relay races and obstacle courses and tug o' war and """soccer""". Basically it's sports day, because there had been a sports day on the calendar but I never look at the calendar so it was already halfway through the month before I realized.
✽ The fourth floor hallway has been cleaned up and turned into the rest area, with rugs laid out across the ground and comfy chairs scattered around the room and little bags of cat treats for sale to entice the fluffy white cat into hanging out in this space all week. Even without treats, she is content to sit on people's laps and rub against their ankles and let them bury their faces in her stomach. Healing.
✽ In the evening on the final day, after all the visitors leave, a large bonfire is set up in a non-flammable area between the courtyard and pool building and left to burn late into the night for those students who choose to remain on campus until around 8PM, when the festival culminates in a small fireworks show that lights up the sky overhead in reds and golds, while on the ground, sparklers are passed around for a quiet moment appreciating the beauty, and transience, of life.

✽ Throughout the school year, merit points have occasionally been earned through interactions between students involving strong emotion, whether positive or negative. This month, characters may notice that this happens much more frequently, and the amount of merit points earned is also sometimes more than the typical one point. Please report threads of strong emotion below, as this will minorly affect December.
✽ On 11/23, Yogen sees its first snow of the year, a light dusting across campus that does not stick when the sun rises again the next morning, but it will snow on and off until the end of the month.
✽ This event log doubles as a TDM, with new characters experiencing the recurring feeling of drifting in (school life) and out (canon life) of sleep up until they "open their eyes," after which they will have full awareness and come to their senses.

[ Sara waves him down with a cheery grin and presses one of the sewing club prizes and a rather small bundle of flowers wrapped in a ribbon into his hands. You're supposed to get a friend prizes after you preform, she only wishes she could have gotten something bigger. Hopefully Subaru understands. ]
Aaahhh...it feels like I haven't heard music like this in years. It's so much more fun seeing a friend preform like this then watching online?
[ Now give her an autograph and candy for free. ]
no subject
Sasara~! I'm glad you came~. And it really is, there's something about being in a place live that's got a totally different feel to it. ♪ Though we'd broadcast to everyone that couldn't make it back at Yumenosaki too, and always try our best to give the same experience to them...
[with gratitude and special mentions to them, so on and so forth...]
If you ever want a private performance, I don't mind giving you one!
[he just likes performing...☆ also no word on the freebies ☆]
no subject
[ His sweets...its quite an impressive pile. Almost enough to tempt Sara onto the idol path. ]
Eeeeh...you'd need to string Sakasaki-san along for that wouldn't you? He's a busy guy, I'd hate to impose.
[ Keep a big celebration to festivals...but you know, smaller scale? She won't say no. ]
no subject
[especially if it was smaller scale, maybe just for the dorms if they wanted karaoke night and the like...]
Besides~, you can aaaalways impose on Natsume. ☆ He's a busy guy, but there's nothing he wouldn't do for a cute girl. ☆
no subject
[ This is the issue, Subaru! He says dangerous things about cute girls! You two are both way too brazen! ]
Not that I mind...he's a fun person, but if I'm going to ask for another preformance, you'd help me convince him right?
no subject
Of course! I wanna perform again too, after all~. He won't be able to say no to both of us. ♪
no subject
[ Like, baking him something he likes, or telling him he did a super good job! ]
no subject
[like dogs!]
no subject
[ Why does everyone keep treating her like a dog! First Childe...and now this. Even though she likes cats best... ]
I don't...think that something I do? Can I just say woof?
no subject
[subaru's gonna ruin lives.
he'll lean across the table, side-glancing at natsume and whispering just to her--]
He's like... super into that sorta scene. ♪ Totally digs it.
no subject
[ Subaru you force of chaos. Sara covers her mouth and also side eyes Natsume with a flushed expression. Sakasaki-san...]
U-um... [ She can't possibly say something rude. Besides, plenty of boys like that, she reads enough manga to not be so naive. And cats are cute, so you know, who is she to judge. ]
Is that something thats okay for me to know?
no subject
Sure! He's soft on girls, so it's fine for them to know his weak points~. And he doesn't really make it that much of a secret... y'know? ☆ With all his cute pet names.
[to girls.]
no subject
Both of them are extremely dumb, and she's going to ignore them. ]
I don't think any of the girls here are the type to exploit weak points...
[ You have Nene (taken), Inaba (taken), Helena (too nice) and Bonnie...pretty young.
Maybe Maya-san will do it. She can shoulder the burden. ]
Wait. You don't take me as the type to play with boys hearts, right? I don't have the slightest interest!
no subject
[anyway]
no subject
[ You will not drop gossip in front of HER and get away with it! ]
no subject
[subaru will literally die if he spills what he thinks!]
But he's definitely feeling his youth out, Sasara! We're both getting our fills here~.
[yeah.... yeah, subaru'll take the bullet for his bestie...]
no subject
[ She'll grab his shoulders, firm as iron. You don't understand, everything she learns here is painful and horrible, she's not letting this scrap get away! ]
If they're a good fit, I want to know. You can't give Sakasaki-san away to just anyone!
no subject
I get it, I get it! But Natsume's not a kid, Sasara! And keep your voice down, if he hears us talkin' about him he'll collar us!
[like, literally for subaru.]
They're in the same year as him, that's what I'll say. And if it's who I think it is, and I'm like, 95% sure of it 'cause somethin' that happened on Halloween, then there's really no better match! They're wit for wit, Sasara, just the sort of person that can keep up with his weird pace!
no subject
I'm just discussing the best interests of our mutual friend here. I have nothing to fear. Elaborate on Halloween, though.
[ Being collared seems like a personal problem. Maybe he should try not participating in Natsume's scene? ]
Mhm. Then it's ok, I think. If two people like eachother, you do your best to help them out. Back home I'd bully Ryoko till she confessed to the guy she liked. So you better do your best!
no subject
I think he's doing fine on his own, the person he likes is... [...] Sorta like a clam. Shy, takes time to really open their shell.
[we are not elaborating halloween]
Do you have anyone you like, Sasara? Lemme cheer you on instead~.
no subject
To know he had such diligence... [ She released Subaru to tap her chin, thinking.] Well, fine. I guess I can be satisfied knowing that. But keep me posted!
[ She pauses. How dare he pick a question that flusters her. She refuses to show him that side any more! Talking about kinks... ]
Someone I like...in this school? [ She's going to specify in school...she's not elaborating on any crushes she got in a death game. ]
Don't be silly. There's hardly anyone suitable. Maybe someone like Amami-san could be my type, but he's out of my league.
no subject
still. amami's name perks his interest and he watches her with a thoughtful gaze, thinking of the teen that freely encouraged his rolling in gold back in lanling.]
What makes you think that?
no subject
[ Cool, unflappable, fashionable. Come on Subaru, you read manga! ]
It's not like I even know him beyond his looks. [ Very quality looks. Awooga. ] Doesn't he give off the air of someone who wouldn't care about something shallow?
Besides, I'm not going to bother someone having a hard time. Mhm...but if he has a twin brother, maybe talk to me!
no subject
Sara. [not sasara. just sara, and he's earnest here, too.] Please befriend Ama-chan. It's because he's having a rough time that you oughta hold out your hand, y'know? He really likes talking to people, and hanging out, and he's a stick in the mud sometimes but I think you two'd get along, 'cause you've got a better head on your shoulders than I do when it comes to priorities and stuff. He's travelled around a lot so he's got tons of tales, and even if you don't think you two have common ground that doesn't mean you can't find any.
[people connect in a lot of different ways. some more surprising than others.]
So don't see him as an "unapproachable" type of person. He's just like me, and if you can handle my hotness long enough to chat with me a couple of times he oughta be a piece of cake.
no subject
Are you calling yourself hot? Jeez...
[ She sighs warmly, and extracts one of her hands to pat Subaru. Dropping the nickname to ask her something like this. ]
I think you overestimate how good I am at making friends, Subaru...but of course I won't turn a cold shoulder. I'll keep an eye out.
