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 cremation coffin is also a box you know
He lifts the controller up after a moment, holding it in one hand without pressing any buttons. Date, or hang out, hmm... ]
Hm... Let's make it a surprise.
[ Both, he supposes, would be the right and proper answer. He's already checking in on Komaeda often enough, and he supposes he'll have to learn more about flower language from him. It's unlikely that he'll be able to find any, and he's struggling with an alternative, but - ah, wouldn't that be nice? What if one day he did? It would be a fun little surprise, like opening what you believed to be an box to find a piece of caramel inside. There was nothing exciting about a piece of candy, but to have one's expectations subverted was its own small delight.
Well, even if it was just opening one empty box after another, that would at least be a fine way to kill time. ]
those memes where you draw 2 people inside of the box
( a surprise, that could be a variety of things, some he probably can't imagine as he considers the idea — knowing that ranger is willing to take part again is a success. it's those words that allows komaeda to reward him, he places his hands against the surface of the floor, pushing himself up until he can crawl back, no longer keeping ranger trapped in that one spot. perhaps his idea worked, sometimes you force things, but he doubts the other would have went along if he wasn't interested.
komaeda on his knees, he sits back onto his legs as his hands lay against his lap. )
Then I'll be waiting...
( where? well, he doesn't say, but he believes that doesn't matter since ranger will find him anyway, he doesn't mind if he does, but he comes over properly to lay down right beside him. he's on his stomach, looking up at the tv screen, and he smiles softly at his own decision. his hands reach out, pushing at a few of the buttons so the game is no longer paused, and if ranger was already halfway through the level, it matters no more as komaeda makes the yoshi walk into a hole, killing it off so that he's placed back at his last save jump. )
You're stuck with me until you beat the game! Try your best...
( he laughs, joking, but this does prolong their time in here together, and that's because he meant it when he said he found this fun. )
