... the same as the last.

WHO: Nene Yashiro and You!
WHAT: After a year, Nene finds herself experiencing Spring Break in Yogen again. What's changed? What's the same? 
WHEN: Spring Break ( March 21st - April 3rd )
WHERE: All over!
WARNINGS: references to cannibalism

a. empty exploration 

( a year ago, nene woke up in this school and found herself trapped. and now, she remains still- a little bit older, barely taller, hair longer. still feeling clueless despite everything. she doesn't wake up in class 1-b, anymore. she lingers for a while as she passes it in her wanderings, though- she spent months there, after all. leaning on hajun, or just existing. the cardboard prison she constructed for her ice-breaker game still remains folded up behind a cabinet. hah... at least clamor enchanted it? that's funny. 

nene leaves class 1-b behind, careful to avoid the elevator and the clocktower. she remembers last year sitting in it, leaning against the glass and looking at the forest longingly. but something about the clocktower feels wrong. 

probably all the murder that happened in it. 

be it up or down the stairs, nene wanders still. once upon a time she had looked for mokke. now she knows: there are none here, and that's a good thing. but now, perhaps appropriately, she feels like a ghost wandering an unwanted haunt. seeing another person brings her out of it, and she gives a small wave. time will tell if she'll say hello, though. )


b. crafts, cooking and comfort 

( nene knows the crafts room like the back of her hand- same as the cooking room. just like last time, one can find her going over the stock of the kitchen- they have supplies in the dorm too, and she'll be going over that as well. this, combined with the vending machines, may last their greater numbers- and she can make big, hearty meals maybe... with noah bringing back biblically accurate deer, they have non-human meat for sure. even if it tastes kind of bad. so maybe you find nene half inside a cupboard counting quietly to herself with only the scritch of a pencil on paper as her only other company...

or maybe you'll find her in either the cooking room or the dorm kitchen, standing at a large pot diligently. curry and stews are filling, after all. and they have a lot of people to feed! 

alternatively, nene can be found in the crafts room, once more organizing sewing kits, fabrics and threads. sometimes she's sewing, sometimes she's practicing knitting. all the while, a
music box plays a gentle melody as she works, and she might not notice someone enter right away. when she does, though, she'll stop what she's doing and look at her guest. )

c. new sprouts

( perhaps the best thing about spring is the gardening club can be active again. so members or spectators may witness nene running around with some freshly cleaned pots and planters, or with entire tools. there's a lot to do- the winter seeds have already sprouted as the snow melts, and there's spring seeds to plant too. old potted plants have to be removed if they're beyond saving... and natsume's herb spiral probably needs tending to, too! the bad part is that nene isn't quite looking where she's going at one point, and may crash right into someone. woopsies. nene winces, giving an apologetic look before she ducks down to pick up seed packets gotten through a teacher before break. )

d. wildcard

( shoot yo' shot! nene is still mute for the most part but close cr pre-november may be able to get her to talk while relaxed. she's kinda running around all over the place, and just trying to be helpful. nene is still at 0 tallies and making no effort to hide this, so feel free to notice and stuff! )

[Sorry for all his sharp angles, Nene... they've been softening at least. He follows the tugging in curiosity, watching her start to sort them with his customary lean... a pattern quickly starts to emerge... he looks up when she speaks.]

D-don't strain yourself...

[He's got his palms up a little... she's trying but that shakiness makes him worry she's pushing herself. Which she shouldn't have to, just for his convenience... he's not sure what happened to Nene's voice, but he knows trying to force speech when his throat was still healing inflicted it's regrets pretty quickly...]

Ah, that's pretty impressive, actually. Wasn't sure if they'd survive the cold...

[It's it's own kind of magic, in a sense. Dormancy...]

So that means we should be repotting them soon, right?

[He kind of wants to show off that he's Learnt Things... just a little.]

['You're worth the effort' gets a small, slightly strained nervous laugh in response. It cuts off at the end like he didn't intend to make it.

...Now that Haruka's gone, leaving a small wistful pain in Shin's chest, it's easy to borrow books and study overnight without having to worry about missing fingernails (or teeth, because sometimes rumors twist and combine in the telling). It had been Helena's suggestion, when he'd brought the idea up... should he mention it now, or... is it time to move the conversation on?

He's only got a few signs down already... but he can sign 'no, you' at her and then pretend like he didn't. He's making the beginner mistake of forgetting the facial expression component, and it's a little off because book diagrams aren't good indicators of motion, but the intent is there.]


Strawberries whenever you want, huh... Your roommate will probably be happy about that too... might have to watch out for those.

[You know, one or two going missing... He almost said roommates, but... it's just Joe in there now, isn't it? So many people have been gone at this point...]

Oh, right, I should move mine, too... Maybe they'll perk up a little outside now it's getting warmer...

[He's been dutifully and daily moving the ones Nene gave him to a windowsill I'm manifesting into existence at the end of the Moon dorm hallway... they've been going a little yellow and drooping on the lower leaves and he's been fretting because he thought he'd been giving them enough water, and he knows by now that giving them too much is bad because they're succulents, but maybe it keeps slipping his mind? He's especially double fretting because they're supposed to be easy, and they're gifts from Nene, and so he really doesn't want to end up killing them. It feels like that would have too much of a knell to it.]
