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.

and really, that would have been enough for him — he would have been more satisfied with that alone, but it isn't long before komaeda leans in further, something needy in the way he pursues just as amami is about to pull away. for that, instinctively, he finds himself drawn back in. his hand makes its way to rest on komaeda's waist, and his lips part faintly, tentative, and testing the waters in just how much komaeda is looking for. )

...
pull away? )
no subject
...
...
yeah, he'll pull away. not so much out of surprise or being offput, but definitely wearing a look that reads as confused as he draws away. he blinks as he looks to komaeda, registering a brilliant red colour absently as he reaches up to touch his own lips, and... hm. hm! that's certainly not what he'd expected, but—
oh, wait, shit, komaeda's nose is bleeding.
the puzzlement shifts into something more like alarm, and pulling one sleeve across his own mouth to wipe it off, amami reaches out to cup his other hand under komaeda's chin, juuust in time to catch a drop of that blood before it drops to send them to the void. because, you know, unfortunately he has the mental presence to actually realize there's some potential consequences to this. with a look falling somewhere between embarrassed and apologetic, amami smiles to komaeda, still holding his hand out to catch any blood that may drip down. )
Haha, sorry — we should get some tissues or something, huh?
no subject
( he's frozen in place, unfortunately, not sure how he should take the other touching him as blood dribbles down his face, making home in the male's palm. his fingers curl into his hands, nails pressing against his right palm, and prosthetic brushes against metal. this is his way of trying to calm himself down, but his cheeks are far too red, and his brows furrow to show his own disgust with himself. quick, his eyes close shut while reminding himself he's in the presence of an ultimate, and even his shoulders shake because that reassurance does nothing. it's a simple, warm, tingling sensation that rolls in waves along the back of his shoulders. )
I— I... I should apologize, I...
( aaaah, his mouth parts, a bit of blood dripping into his mouth, the taste of metal strong given his palate, and he closes his lips; swallowing. he's not embarrassed, but he's going through a lot of emotions — love, denial, just completely stressed with the notion of the other being this close, holding his disgusting blood. it's at the thought that komaeda's mind completely snaps, pushing away amami's hand quickly, and he inhales trying to keep the blood from creeping down anymore. )
Don't touch something as disgusting at me! I'm so incompetent, I got my liquids all over you, ahh...!
no subject
( "liquids" sounds so... not like it's blood.
but he'll offer up an apologetic smile to go with his next words, leaning down a little in that way you do when you're talking to kids, and looking for his part rather amused with this turn of events. like, yeah, okay, not ideal. kind of gross in a way he doesn't fully appreciate. but it's by taking things in stride that you tend to reassure people after things like this happen, and ensure it becomes water under the bridge, so that's what he'll focus on doing. )
And anyway, don't sweat it. It's just some blood, not a big deal. ( not like he's never had blood in his mouth before. )
We should see about getting you cleaned up though.
no subject
( he's fumbling, embarrassed actually to the point that he wants to stay where he is to cover his face from how this event has turned out to be. he can't, because he has to listen to what an ultimate says, and he's getting up to his feet so that he can come around the table to meet amami side by side, his fingers covering his mouth as he looks downward, but not having to tilt his head. )
Can I really hold your time...?
( stressful, he thinks, taking a step forward as he can feel the blood drip into his hand. it's warm, but he can't smell anything else aside from it. it's such a shame to get it all over someone as pretty as amami, he hopes that it doesn't smudge his beauty anymore than he already has before — yet, all ultimates are quite the catch. )
no subject
( as to lick it up, he means. kind of weird, but komaeda... doesn't really know how to act like a normal person. it's fine, amami's starting to get that, so he can be patient and go along with it. for now he gently sets is hand behind komaeda, not quite touching the small of his back, but hovering just behind as if to guide him back in the direction of the bathroom. )
It's not a big deal. We're friends after all, so lets go.
( so he's gonna try to herd komaeda out the door here, warm and patient and, just in case— )
Let me know if the blood gets too much, yeah? Don't wanna take any unplanned trips if we can help it.
