↳ option one. ( entirety of march second. )

[You honestly think there's a murder happening when it hits six in the morning and you hear a scream on the first floor--it's near the bathrooms, too.

But upon actually checking, that isn't the case.

There's no dead bodies, especially not in Murderless March, but Inaba might as well be a proverbial corpse, because she's going to die of embarrassment.

If someone just takes a peek, they'll immediately understand why.

The normally composed and cold girl named Inaba Himeko is completely stuck in a maid outfit.

Unfortunately for her, too, she doesn't have something to cover it up with, so she's just stuck like this. On a school day. Which also means all of the third years get to see her in this during the entire class period.

Of course this means aggressively trying to avoid people now more than ever, to the point where the moment she sees a transfer student--or anyone else, really, she starts to bolt. But she's pretty easy to catch up to, given that she isn't exactly the athletic sort.]

↳ option two. ( dreamscape #01 / cw: human experimentation mentions & sudden mind + emotion reading )

[The dream that you enter in leads you from the forest into what seems to be a clubroom.

You're alone--but there seems to have been some activity in the room. Warmth.

But then the door opens with a bit of a creak, and there's...

...a mysterious man that appears, the light in their eyes completely gone. They see you, and speak, walking further into the clubroom. They open their mouth, but the voice that comes out is monotone, near emotionless.]

"I see.

I suppose that you, a visitor, are interesting enough to join the bonus round."

[And just as he says that, another set of footsteps enters in.

It's a girl that you probably do recognize. However, she's not wearing the usual Yogen uniform, but instead a very different uniform and her breath stills and her eyes widen in shock, her mouth opening, the words not entirely coming out at first.

Her nails dig into the skin and the shock soon turns to anger in her expression.]

Did you do something to them--

[She steps in quickly, and the man swiftly moves to leave.]

Goddamn it. [Inaba curses, because she knows all too well that she's powerless to stop anything. Of course she is.] Sorry about that.

[She answers, calm. Cool. Collected.

Just as always.]

That was supposed to be my problem. [No emotion.] They didn't spout some weird bullshit at you, did they?

↳ option three. ( dreamscape #02 / cw: memory loss, but for inaba only )

[In this dreamscape, you find yourself in the same clubroom.

However, you find yourself surrounded by five others, Inaba included. Those who are observant will notice that the pendant that she normally wears is absent.

At some point, you're noticed and she turns to you and asks--]

Hey, have you figured out what you want to write for March's gazette yet? It's due at the end of the month, so we have a lot of time, but it's better to get things started earlier rather than later.

↳ option wildcard.

[Want to play something completely different that isn't any of these prompts? Feel free to hit me up at tsundereban or Len#9692 (discord)! I'm down to share a good chunk of Inaba's memories or any of the Heartseed-related stuff that she's normally unwilling to share, so come @ me.

Also as a heads up, the second prompt will deal with characters being able to suddenly hear Inaba's thoughts/feel her emotions randomly and if you want to opt into the reverse, feel free to let me know, I'm down for it. But it's primarily there for people to understand Inaba a little more. This actually describes what the phenomena entails better than I can.

And the third prompt deals with Inaba's muddled up memories and how she's experienced a lot of very specific memory loss that isn't quite amnesia.]

Comments

option one

[taketori]

[ Most of the day, Miyuki's been trying to figure out exactly how to... bring this up, or how to actually ask about this. It's impossible to ignore, seeing Inaba dressed like that. It's kinda cute, in a way. Which, is naturally an opinion he'll be keeping to himself.

Up until he doesn't. Which is basically just before lunch time, when he has to clear his throat. ]

I understand rebelling against the school from time to time, but isn't that taking it a little too far?

[ Yeah. That's. What that is. ]

option two

[taketori]

[ He just had to check out the forest. It seemed worth the investigation, just to verify that nothing horrifying needed to be brought to everyone's attention. As such, he barely even noticed that he'd even stepped inside. A... basic looking club room. From where he stood, it was clear to him that someone had been here, but he couldn't parse exactly what this room could even be for. There were stuffed animals, and yet a poster of a professional wrestler on the wall. In addition to all of the books...

He wasn't able to verify much more before he's interrupted, gaze immediately shifting towards the door. Miyuki assessed the man, looking a bit disheveled in a sense but figuring that he may be able to provide some kind of explanation for what's going on.

Before he speaks. "Bonus round...?" ]

What--

[ Before he's able to respond in kind, Inaba storms into the room and he pauses. An unsettling feeling makes its way into his head, leaving him wary of where he is, and what he's even supposed to do. Inaba's clearly upset about this, even as she immediately begins to mask it once the man leaves.

Miyuki tries his hardest to shake off the feeling, matching Inaba's turn in mood. ]

A little. He referred to me as a visitor, and that I'm joining some kind of "bonus round".

[ With no further explanation, he folds his arms. ]

Do you know that man?

[waitingforplayer2]

[ In an instant, her uniform shifts to match Inaba's, and she rubs her eyes sleepily. When did she get here?... ]

Mm... they said I was interesting... [ She frowns and looks back in the direction the man went. ] Are they always like that?...

[antitoxin]

[ today in class, it seems that the boys are wild today— a few whistles in inaba's direction because she's dressed to impress. it only makes things worse when the teacher tells everyone to find one partner to pair up with, because they'll have to help each other with a project until graduation. because it's such a long term presentation, that they should find someone they can get along with to make it happen.

it's the line of guys that walk over to inaba in hopes to get her attention, curious if she'll remain dressed in her outfit for the entire duration. there's drools here, sparkly eyes there as they focus on her.

then there's midori who walks over, not really in line, but with enough enthusiasm. ]

There you are partner, I found us a place to do our project without much noise. Are you ready to go?

[ she can either stay with the lames that are flirting, or come with him who seems to be giving her a way out. ]

1!

[silentabyss]

[Noah absolutely books it toward the sound of the scream, skidding to a stop roughly in front of the bathrooms and preparing himself mentally to swing the door open and find a corpse only for all of his danger-sense to melt away instantly.]

—oh.

[No one's dead!]

...you look pretty. But are you okay?

[rearranger]

[ It's a clubroom, but not one that he recognizes from anywhere, no more than he recognizes the man that's speaking to him. Ranger blinks, and he supposes that he must be infringing on another person's space. Ranger quirks an eyebrow, but otherwise remains silent as he waits to see if any further explanation will be given. It's not, and instead a familiar figure joins them. The former must have only been present to make cryptic statements, or perhaps they simply know the consequences of staying, given their quick departure.

He shakes his head. ]

Nope, just some cryptic comments about a bonus round. I take it they're the type to meddle in other people's affairs?

[ If he had to take a guess, he would assume the man had either been referring to a game or a scientific experiment, though he can't even begin to guess at which one it might be - after all, it's perfectly well and good to drag strangers into both. ]
