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.

[ There's the singing too, but Chiaki cares less for that than dancing that she's more familiar with. Either way, Natsume looks happy, and seeing that makes Chiaki smile in return— no real thought behind it, just that seeing people enjoy themselves makes her happy too. ]
How you can do all that up on stage with everybody watching you and not be embarrassed, that's amazing.

I suppose that it helps that we're TRAINED, and that I—at least—have been a frequent face on national televiSION. At my mommy's SIDE, but with cameras on me nonetheLESS. ( He twists the cap on his marker idly, thinking of his childhood, expectations always on him... but it's a pleasant set of memories, because he could always work to reach those. They weren't impossible, and they never felt that way—not for him. ) Are you telling me you don't have the confidence to show off a litTLE, Kudo-chan? My, I'm surPRISED.
no subject
[ If she's performing— as she does, as a dancer (that I typoed as danger and was tempted to leave it) who performs in competitions— it's for herself. Not to make people smile. Not to impress other people. She's going to kick ass because it's fun. ]
I mean, I could be doing anything, and people would look at me and go "Wow!"
no subject
You're not very wow-ing right NOW.
no subject
You take that back! I'm very wow-ing!
no subject
( he shouldn't antagonize the people who come to see him but she's SOOO cute when she's mad? )
no subject
You're thinking it in your heart. Even if you don't admit it out loud, you think I'm awesome. It's alright! You can say it.
no subject
( ...he uses the marker to draw a heart in the air between them, winking. )
That you're excessively adorABLE, Kudo-chan.
no subject
That's soooooooo cheesy! How do you say that with a straight face?
[ How is he not embarrassed by himself all the time? It does make her smile, though, genuinely pleased by the affirmation that she's super cute. ]
no subject
( There's a certain degree of shamelessness that comes with this type of teasing; it's safe, knowing it's not going to go anywhere, knowing that there's no real weight to the words. A quiet understanding between idol and fan alike. )
Also, my forté is in sweet-TALK.
no subject
[ HOW IS HE NOT EMBARRASSED oh this is delightful ]
no subject
Hmm... ( ...ah ) I think the anglerfish being your favorite animal suits YOU, Kudo-chan. After ALL... Your brilliant smile's captured my heart irrevocabLY. I'm completely powerless in front of YOU.
no subject
It's funny, besides, and nobody passes up a chance at hearing flattery even if it's fake and forced. ]
You're mixing up "anglerfish" and "angelfish," Sakasaki! You're supposed to say I'm alluring, and suuuuper scary, because if you don't do what I say then I'll tear you to shreds!
[ holds her hands out, cupped ]
Give me candy or I'll tear you to shreds!
no subject
( Which is true, sort of, now that she doesn't know he killed her and all. Anyway, he'll give her a bag of candy free of charge since he said he was powerless and everything, there you go. Hoping she eats a wasabi one first. )
And anglerfish don't tear things to SHREDS. They just snap things up in one BITE.
no subject
She opens up the bag and pops one in her mouth to crunch on instead of suck, and if she got the wasabi she doesn't make any indication of it. ]
I'd have to tear you to shreds to fit, though.
no subject
I suppose, howevER... There are better ways to eat vulnerable young MEN.
no subject
[ tell her ]
no subject
You'll learn when you're olDER.

I'll take it as a compliment; I was adopted as an older brother recentLY. ( ...
"--aki!", right? That'd fit much too neatly into everything if it were true, but: )
What's your aniki LIKE?
no subject
Aniki? Mmm... I remember he was very fussy! The sort of person who thinks "If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself." But our parents got divorced, so we haven't lived together in a long time.
[ She calls sometimes, but something about phone bills, something about limited data plans ]
no subject
( That's nice.
... )
Do you happen to have a younger sibLING? You have a big sister VIBE.
no subject
[ like a small dog. what part of her acts like a big sister ]
no subject
She sounds absolutely adoraBLE. I grew up an only CHILD, so I envy people with siblings a litTLE.
( Dubiously true. He thinks it might've been nice to have a twin though, in that way that all people think it is and express it every time they meet one. )
On the other HAND, it was nice to not have to share the attention of my mommy and daddy with one more thing in our LIVES... They only ever wanted one child anyway, I supPOSE.
