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.

Why do they have every color but red?
Re: B
Oh, its because we have all of it in our room. [ She point down the hallway back towards the dorms. ]
For some reason everything red is in the closet, but we can't take it out. I guess you can bring whatever art you want to Sou and I's room if you'd like to add that color to anything. Or just use orange.
no subject
[it takes him a full 30 seconds to realize that, no, what he just heard was actually super weird?]
"Can't take it out?" Is... it too heavy?
no subject
[ She's not a hoarder, she swears! Sara is bad at art!! ]
Er...maybe its ghosts? Or just another strange rule.
no subject
[because this? sounds like a Challenge.]
no subject
[ She's just going to get right to the point, she see's where this is going. ]
We can pick it up, but we can't take it out of the room. That's all the experimenting I've done.
no subject
no subject
[ No...she hasn't. ]
no subject
There are always loopholes to these kinds of things; you just need to find them! [and finding them means THROWING SHIT and this is a grown man bouncing on his feet waiting to follow her lead.]
no subject
I don't doubt it! I suppose its a bit silly we haven't played around with it more. How do you take your tea?
no subject
... Plain? [is that a normal answer. it doesn't sound normal.] I really only drink water!
no subject
[ Look, she's not judgemental, but some people will really kill you for that! ]
H-how on earth? Er...drat. Do you like bitter or sweet things?
no subject
[and maybe we'd all think that if we only drank water extracted from ancient glaciers sometimes i wonder if people think i make things up but this is all distressingly canon]
I always like trying new things...! I can't have any sugar, though, so if that's what makes it sweet, I'll take bitter.
no subject
Well, I haven't met anyone who doesn't like green tea, and its not sweet if you don't add suger, so hopefully it will be okay!
[ Converting sport to the tea cult...Sara is not thinking through the implications of giving him caffine, but it should be fine. ]
no subject
[he's going to vibrate onto the event horizon and find steph it's fine.]
... Did it sound cool? [he asks, uncoolly.]
no subject
[ Show her a backflip and she'll reconsider. ]
Do you want to finish your painting before we go? It's nice!
no subject
[too bad he's trying to be Good and walk inside like a human person, but he'll absolutely forget himself in a few minutes.]
Oh, it's already done! [??? i guess] I think it looks okay!
no subject
I see...an abstract artist at his finest. Well, I won't stall anymore then. Lets go get you some tea, and we can throw markers around!
no subject
a short while later, as if he'd suddenly remembered:] I can.
no subject
[ Sara pauses from unlocking the door to her room, holding it open so she can stare at Sportacus with flustered awe.]
Wait...no...you're probably from one of those worlds where super strength is normal. I won't let you impress me so easily!
no subject
no subject
[ She's going to go prepare it~ ]
I work out when I can, and I can't lift a car. If you lift that bed, then you're superhuman, and you'll just have to accept it.
no subject
You know those two objects are very different weights, right? By at least a ton.
no subject
Um...a car and a bunkbed? Well they're both too heavy to lift, so I thought it made plenty of sense as a test.
[ Sips her tea. ]
Can you lift a ton?
no subject
If you work hard every day, you can do lots of things!
[sips]
... It tastes a bit like grass! [immediately drinking more of it.]
