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.

OOC
✽ 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.

[Inaba is immediately taken aback when she's already being pulled--]
Saying that it's easy when it's about strength and grip stuff, which I'm absolutely awful at!
no subject
[ Sara pauses for a moment to stare back at Inaba with a thoughtful expression. Weak grip strength...they can just put Inaba in the middle. ]
Please, believe in yourself!
[ The pulling continues completely unabated. ]
Even one more body counts! I swear! You'll do great. We really do need another person to defeat Childe.
no subject
[Which is probably difficult to believe when she's answering with such a flat response. She sighs yet again, her shoulders sagging even when she's pulled.]
Just don't blame me if we lose, though, because I warned you...
no subject
[She doesn't know how to say "sort of a neet" in a nicer way then that. But sports are fun! Inaba deserves to do something fun! ]
Hm...well if we loose we can just try again? I think he allows rematches.
no subject
[She groans a little bit in frustration, her brows knitting a bit.]
I don't really get any sort of enjoyment about any sort of sport, it just makes me exhausted as all hell and sweaty. But if he allows rematches, even more reason to say no!
no subject
[ She's not going to slow down but she sighs and furrows her brow. How to explain why... ]
Sports take your mind off the bad things, Inaba. When your body is tired, your brain calms down....
Last month was bad, so do something fun with me, okay? To say sorry, I'll even listen to a whole lecture on computers or boyfriends!
no subject
[There's two implications, here. There's the whole 'dead' implication and then there's the whole implication that hey, she's skinny enough as she is. Model-esque body and all that.]
And I'm not going to lecture about computers or boyfriends?!
no subject
No, don't worry. I'm really good at paying attention when Sou talks about computers, even if I don't understand what the python is or what it does!
...All the girls in my class wouldn't shut up about theirs. Did you break up or what?
no subject
[She rubs at the nape of her neck a little awkwardly. As a programmer, she does actually get what the python is - she uses it quite frequently herself, in fact.]
No. I didn't - [Her hand reaches towards the pendant around her neck.] I don't think he would, but I guess...
[Her words trail off for a second, her gaze looking a little forlorn before she forces a smile on her face.]
Anyway, enough about that. Tug of war time?
no subject
[ Sara looks down at the pendent like its the first time she's seen it. A gift...maybe?
Inaba is very nicely changing the subject, but Sara can't help but feel more and more curious now. ]
Does he like tug of war?
[ Nosy... ]
no subject
Naturally. We were the best couple in all of Yamaboshi.
[As for whether he likes tug of war, however, she shrugs.]
I don't think he has any sort of inclination to it, really. He's the type of person who'd be kind of indifferent, but play if someone asked him because that's the way he is.
no subject
[ Calling yourself the best couple is tacky...but well she'll listen attentively for the sake of tug of war. ]
Sounds a bit like you, Inaba-san. Did he also like programming? I hear its fun to be in the same club as your boyfriend.
no subject
He's nothing like me at all. I'm the cold and distant one and he's not. While I said he'd be indifferent, it isn't in the same way that I'm indifferent. He just wouldn't have any strong feelings one way or another, but if it means he can help someone, he would, without question. Well, he does have morals, so he wouldn't like blindly help someone in a murder or any bullshit like that.
[Basically he's a good person, okay, she wouldn't date anyone who was crazy!!]
And nah. His interests are very different from mine. You'd be surprised at how different the two of us are, really. I don't even like the crap he does, but I tolerate it sometimes anyway. Until he runs his mouth about it, then that's the time to immediately stop him from talking, period. Anyway, we were in the same club, but it's not like the club we were in had anything to do with what we liked. We just... happened to get shoved into the same club by happenstance.
