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.

GASPED AT REAL ROKURO ARATA FAN NOOOOOOOOOO will the REAL rokuro arata... please stand up
We can give it a try.
( he mumbles to himself, and in his other pocket that doesn't have a hole, he pulls out his own pda so he can match what she does. do they need these? he doesn't know her name, so he's unable to @ her on the network, but he feels he should pay more attention to her pda than his own, and so he stands right next to her, peering back and forth between them like something's meant to happen.
she is so cute, i'm actually crying. )
please she only wanted to see him and is bummed he hasn't magically broken out of the hospital
She puts her PDA away and looks at the field, then makes a rolling motion with both her hands (fists clenched) and punches the air.
Yeah, soccer's usually pretty hardcore. )
me too actually
Komaeda-kun, there you are! I was— Ow.
( oh. there's someone else with him — and it's not a transfer student or an arata, it's a cute girl who's just punched her fist out for a reason he cannot discern, hitting him square in the ribs. after a moment to wince as he cuts himself off, amami hesitates, but ultimately looks to her with a smile, if a sheepish one. )
Sorry, did I interrupt you?
( is that why she punched him? )
aratasenpai if you're out there
She retracts her fist and doesn't apologize, but peers around him like that's going to magically summon someone she actually wants to talk to and straightens back up when it doesn't. This guy... is one of the new people on the team, right? Or at least for now. He's not going to last. She can tell. She's on a sports team too, after all.
Belatedly, she realizes he asked her something, and she shakes her head, then makes a chopping motion between her and Komaeda. Aaaabsolutely nothing is going on between them, so there's nothing to interrupt. )
what rokkun act gay for when he got female fans smfh...
( it's on his time when he decides what people are to other ultimates, but from how serious her hand movements are, he thinks that she's a hardcore fan of the sport. clapping his hands together like he's finally realized that, he looks between amami, and then to her, back to amami again. )
We came to see you play, but how unfortunate... a bomb went off, that means you'll be the new Captain, right?
( he look at her, blinking, wondering if she'll agree with the idea of it, or if she even knows amami in general which everyone should know amami... but some aren't as fortunate as he is, so. did he just ignore amami getting hit? yes, because he can handle it, to be honest she could hit him again, and komeda has nothing to say. )
only thing rokkun got from his mom was bad taste in men
he seems to come to the conclusion that he likes that idea though, offering a smile to the girl who's now making a chopping motion, and he guesses that means she's serious about this? very serious. he's not the best at charades, really, and komaeda's the one speaking for them both, so amami's just going to go with what he's told here and introduce himself more properly. )
Nice to meet you, I'm Rantarou Amami. I dunno if I'm captain material, but hopefully that position isn't up for grabs anyway.
( with a look to komaeda that's like, really? lets not go wishing death and injury upon people for amami's prosperity. maybe rokkun's though. )
well.... yeah
She makes a slight face at "friend," but gives the world's tiniest bow as is minimally polite when someone introduces themselves and she then proceeds to forget his name forever. He'll be Cabbage instead. And this tall one is... Parsnip.
It's also polite to introduce yourself back, She Guesses, but there's basically no way to do that without speaking... Wasting breath on people like this who don't even share her important interests........ )
Minesuga.
( She says it softly and quickly, like she's afraid of using too much oxygen on them. )
STOP COUNSELOR IS SEXY JUST MISUNDERSTOOD
( parsnip is so cute, if he knew, he'd accept it, but for not he's komaeda nagito, and he's introducing himself along with the other so they can be better friends. term is used loosely, but it still has the feeling like he doesn't mind being in their company at the moment. with a small smile, komaeda keeps his eyes on minesuga for a moment before he looks over to amami, and he follows with a nod. )
That said, I wanted to look through what this team had to offer, and our company seems to be well versed with the sport.
( since she seems to take it seriously from her previous hand motion, and then her words would be favorable — or to an extent where he'll block out anything if amami isn't given praise. now, to her: )
What do you think of the talent this year?
( a loud, pained voice in the distance screeches out "my leg...!", but komaeda ignores that too. )
i knew you were gonna defend yourself..........
well, i mean, ...
( lacking a leader, maybe, but still getting by! )
In that case, thanks for coming to cheer us on anyway, Minesuga-san. Guess we'll need all the help we can get.
well NOTHIng
... ... ...
being harassed by some guys. one of whom he knows better, but that nagito guy isn't an unfamiliar sight either. he levels a slightly irritated stare at the two, picking up a water bottle he'd be asked to hand out to players and chucking it at rantarou. doesn't have to hit his head, will probably hit his back, but it's fine.]
Amami~, stop harassing girls. Isn't your image bad off enough already?
peace your taste isnt any better
ooohhhh called out
Ow... Hey— ( WHAT is with you kids and your violence against him today!! )
Cut me some slack, Kurasaka-kun! It's fine, we're just doing introductions — right?
( he looks to her with a half-pleading look between her and komaeda like, please agree? he's just being friendly! )
no subject
Eiha nods slowly, face completely unreadable. Yeah, technically, that is what they were doing so. She makes a motion that's undeniably "down boy" in Dog Owner language at Ryouta, it's okay. )
no subject
( who is that that knows amami's name, komaeda's eyes are quick to shift over, staring at a face he has... never seen before which is pretty accurate, he only notices certain people and so the gap in their knowledge is understandable. he glances back towards amami trying to see how much damage has been done to him, if he's fine, komaeda will hold back. )
Well... since all three of us are here.
( he did not invite the fourth person to talk to amami, and so he needs time adjusting, the numbers will grow to him in a second. )
I heard they were offering takoyaki to the players and fans, should we check it out?
( he looks at the dog the female has told to calm down, and komaeda thinks to himself it'd be bad for a dog's stomach to eat it, so he doesn't ask him. his eyes shine brightly at the initial two he's with. )
no subject
he relaxes a little, but only once he's stepped closer to minesuga and picked up the water bottle again. no harm, no foul, rantarou gets off easy with the bottle actually held out for him normally.]
Coach wanted me to pass these out. Make sure you stay hydrated or you'll be useless on the field -- just because summer's over with doesn't mean your body can't lose water just as easily.
[two people can play the ignoring game, nagito. ryouta's not too fond of him anyway.]
no subject
( he gives a doubtful glance over his shoulder to the field, which has people running around on it like ants right about now, and back to komaeda. then he'll shift his attention to the others again, accepting the bottle as it's held out to him. )
Well, I'm not against it. How about you two, want some takoyaki? On me.
( because apparently he has to play middle man for these literal children. )
no subject
eiha nods to amami. takoyaki please. )
no subject
they're also colored to look like soccer balls, extremely cute for those who enjoy the sport. aside from that, komaeda isn't really hungry, and instead he's just telling the vendor which ones he thinks the people with him would want so their plates are ready as soon as they come over. )
no subject
( since he didn't miss the way he immediately seemed to close that distance between himself and minesuga, or that "down boy" gesture. dating, maybe? well, he's not gonna call them out, but he'll nod his head over to indicate following komaeda before he starts making his way over. )
