Who: Himeko Inaba and YOU.
What: Catch-all log for February
When: Throughout February.
Where: Various locations as listed.
Warnings: None for now, but will be updated as necessary.

↳ option one. ( during the disney trip, but not at disney )

[Perhaps you're one of the plucky ones that decided to say no to Disney, like Inaba and find yourselves rather bored--and well, given that everything is basically self-study now and Inaba is, well, not exactly hurting in terms of her studies, as she was a naturally good test taker. And on top of that, she was actually decent at math, so it's actually rather...

Well - it certainly doesn't push all her worries, but it definitely allows her to relax a bit, knowing that having an emptier school meant all the nuisances were gone, albeit temporarily.

Which also meant that she could do as she pleased. Hence for those who might still be around, they might notice her in various places, but especially on the second floor - particularly in the cooking room and workshop.

What she can be found doing in the cooking room is well, trying to teach herself how to cook a little better--it's something that she had been doing before, back home and is something that she wants to carry over here. Even more so since it's actually a matter of survival.

Probably doesn't help that she's not all that great of a chef and finds it rather frustrating to do so...]

[But she can't rely on others to cook for her in the first place!! What if someone decides to take advantage of that...! Well, at the very least, she isn't blowing up the kitchen and is instead just frustratedly staring at her cooking notes. It's probably fine.]

↳ option two. ( feb 12th )

[So. How about that tuition, huh?

Inaba, someone who looks at the PDA when she has the time to, even if she doesn't reply to everyone's antics, given the way she is.

But then that ping goes off and well...

...time for her to investigate the matter! People might notice her snooping around places where faculty may be while trying to be natural about it; not to mention that she's polite about it and all. But it's odd that she's trying to be so proactive and trying to actually talk to people, isn't it?

Hm.]

↳ option three. ( valentine's day )

[Otherwise known as "the worst day in Inaba Himeko's existence".

She's awfully aware of what day today is and while she's already naturally distant to most people, today is a day where she's... well, not in the best state. In fact anyone who is a third year, or teaches third years will probably notice that she's looking a lot more lethargic, and not in a 'she hasn't slept' way but she also has bags under her eyes showing that she hasn't slept much lately.

People who are observant will definitely notice that she's fiddling with her pendant idly, sighing heavily every now and again to the point where it's honestly just kind of sad.

After classes, she actively avoids people, wanting to find a room without people--or well. At best a place that she can keep herself distracted.

Which is why she chooses the library, stockpiling on a lot of random books. But none of them are romantic in nature. It's fine.]

↳ option four. ( wildcard )

[I wrote this all at 3AM, come @ me with anything else you want to do with Inaba, I'm down for a lot. She isn't going to Disney, but if anybody wanted to attempt to convince her prior to it, feel free to make An Attempt at least. Feel free to hmu at

tsundereban or on the Discord to plot something out!!]

Hm, I wouldn't say that it's good, really... or that I'm doing it for good reasons. It's all simple and selfish.

[...]

Do you need help with those math problems, by the way?

[ Is it? What does selfish even mean anymore? Especially in the afterlife?

But those questions are pushed out of Nanami's mind by Inaba's other one. ] Oh! Ah... maybe? [ She shows Inaba the problem she's stuck on - it's trigonometry. ]

It's been a while since I've had a real math class, so I'm still getting used to it again... [ This despite the fact that she's clearly wearing a school uniform - and it isn't Yogen's. ]

[A lot of people are awful at math, so it doesn't come to her as much of a surprise when someone is struggling.]

I can help out with that. I'm pretty good at math myself, and I've been writing a guide... anyway, trig's not too bad.

[Inaba's wearing the Yogen school uniform herself, but that's mostly to keep a sense of normalcy.]

Is there anything in particular you don't understand? I can share my notes if you'd like.

[ALTHOUGH TBH INABA WOULD KNOW TRIG VERY WELL AND EASILY EXPLAIN AS NEEDED but i unfortunately do not, so]

[ She twirls her pencil while she thinks. ] Mmm... sometimes the teacher's explanations are sort of short, so... seeing how somebody else thinks about it might help.

[ It's not too surprising, though, that somebody as analytically-minded as Inaba is good at math. ] Thank you... um, I don't know how I could repay you really, but... do you want to come to game club sometime? I don't know what you do after school, but I'm there a lot of days and it's pretty fun.

Yeah, some of the math teachers here are honestly not great. But it's not something that you need to repay me for. I was already working on stuff to help people with math to begin with, so if this works for students that are already here, then I can keep it. And if there's something that still is difficult, then I can adjust to it. That's already enough for me.

[Just puts it plainly.]

I'm usually free after classes since I'm not in any of the clubs. I can probably pop in the game club for a day, I suppose.

You're not? [ Huh.

Come to think of it, she hasn't ever seen Inaba in the dorms... ] I don't think I really see you much after school, Inaba-san... what do you usually end up doing?

Have no reason to join a club.

[That, and she simply doesn't want to. The only club for her is the CRC--one that she isn't even in, anymore.]

Mm... I mostly keep to myself. Sometimes I'll visit the robotics club for some parts for my laptop, sometimes I do other things. It's not really anybody's business, though.

That does seem like a really smart club to join.

[ By which she means - a club for really smart people. She smiles a little. ] So that means that I wouldn't be dragging you away from something to bring you to Game Club, huh?

It's a fucking sausage fest, though. Which is why I don't join it.

[It's not the only reason. But it's a reason.]

And no - well, unless I'm busy doing something important.

Then I'll definitely bring you sometime, Inaba-san.

[ She hesitates and frowns at her papers. ] Well, once I'm done with all this, anyway...

That might be a while... are you sure you'll even finish today?

[Honestly Inaba could stay here all she wants, she's in no rush. Although she could also sneak off later, too.]

Well...

[ She looks back down at how much she has left. A lot... there's a lot of problems left. ]

M-maybe I should leave some of it for another day... [ She rubs her eyes. It's hard for her to focus, anyway, the sleepier she's been getting over the course of the afternoon. ]

Well, don't force yourself -- even if any of the work is due the following day.

[Not that she's saying that it's good to leave things unfinished, but mental health is important too, she's sure.]

You're more likely to make more mistakes by forcing it than not.
