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.

The hot sequel to the kissing booth but it's actually the fourth movie in a trilogy of bad choices
Jason stood in front of Noah now, hands on his hips and a disappointed look on his face]
Does Nene know you're doing this?
no subject
Y...yeah? She came by earlier... [He KISSED his CRUSH] W-we... uh... you know...
no subject
He leans down, placing his hands on the desk Noah is sitting at and narrows his eyes.]
Is she okay with you kissing other people?
no subject
[Noah has a whole-ass moment where he's trying to figure out What That Means, and then... very quietly, after putting two and two together...]
U-uh, we... We're not dating, if that's what you think...
no subject
[oh no Noah big brother mode now active.
He's debating on kicking his ass now or after he checks up on Nene.]
no subject
[Like that's an excuse.]
no subject
Oh that's a bullshit excuse. Besides a blind man can see that you two like each other.
no subject
...y-yeah, I... well, I wanted to ask... I mean, there are two people I'm interested in... a-and I'd talk to them both, but I don't... I don't know if that's a great idea?
no subject
Jason shakes his head a bit. He thought he was hopeless when it came to the love department. His track record when it came to relationships were awful. Dating his brother's ex girlfriend and also his dad's ex girlfriend and also sentient smoke.... Well yeah, anyway this wasn't about him.]
Then ask. One or both of them. What's the harm? You're clearly interested in them, and from what I've seen at least Nene is very interested in you. You just gotta take a leap, man.
no subject
...I just don't think I'm worth anyone's time.
[He says that with a somewhat-casual air, one that actually masks how he thinks of himself. Really, Noah's always been his own roadblock. People have told him that in the past, and he hears them, and he's listening, but also...
Self-perceptions are a little hard to just swat away, right?]
Nene has Hanako. [Shut up he's not jealous.] After a while, no one needs me in their life. Not even...
[Clamor.]
...well, you get it.
no subject
Jason frowns a little, now fully in big brother mode. How do people usually do this? Can he channel his inner Dick?
Of the Grayson verity, not his usual personality.]
Sorry, I'm calling bullshit again. I haven't been here long but it's not hard to see that people like and care about you.
The way you see yourself will always be different than the way people see you. Just 'cause you think you're not worth her time and effort doesn't mean she thinks that.
Clearly she doesn't. Otherwise she wouldn't be around you so much.
no subject
...people keep saying that, but... I don't know. I can't really bring myself to... Sorry. I guess I'm just... scared. Just a bit.
[And really, that's the long and the short of it.]
no subject
He ran a hand through his hair, ruffling it a bit in thought. Kid reminded him of Tim more and more as he got to know him.
Probably not a compliment.]
I mean it's normal to be scared. Getting close to people is scary. It shouldn't hold you back from the type of people that bring love and warmth into your life though. Doesn't have to be romantic. Platonic relationships have that too.
[Jeez when did he become a therapist?
Yogan Gods let him manifest the sprit of Dick Grayson so he can better have a handle of the situation, thank you.]
Besides, that kid you mentioned-- i haven't seen 'im around lately. So... There's that.
no subject
Kid... Hanako? Where did he go? Nene would be worried, but she hasn't said anything to me.
[That's who Nene is; if Noah worries about those who go missing, then Nene's beside herself with grief. And besides, even if Noah's a jealous asshole, it doesn't mean he wanted the guy to disappear.]
Maybe he's just... off doing stuff? [An empty hope in this place.]
no subject
[He's gonna let that word linger there because he's an asshole but also because it's true.]
no subject
[That doesn't bode well for this place; for all Noah knows, the already-dead (double dead?) ghost kid will show up murdered. Dead-dead-dead? How many deads is that. Regardless...]
Well... uh, I'll check in with her and make sure she's holding up in that regard, I... I suppose.
[Notice how he completely avoids the topic of Feelings.]
no subject
Ya know you could just try and cheer her up regardless. Like spend some time with her... Make a little date thing. The cafe is open, you can take her there. Or even go to the booths. Get her a plushie.
no subject
I know, I'm just... I'm not great at cheering people up. I'm not funny, and... I'm not really good at talking to people. I could... try to win her a prize, I suppose.
no subject
You don't gotta be great at cheering people up. It's the thought behind it that matters. Anyway, go win her a prize and surprise her with it. She'll love it.
