Education for Free (General School Log, all) (OPEN LOG)

Who: Anyone who wants to go to school
Where: Any of the schools found in the Calendar (there are other schools, but your characters would only be going to those)
Summary: General School log! Start your own threads, make threads, or just have your character going to school and meeting the others. You have carte blanche.
Warnings: Nothing for now.

April 1st. While for many it would be a day for jokes and pranks, in Japan (and by extension, Hinoto-Ri who clung on some things from the past like precious memories), it was the start of the school year.

Those that were of age had gotten their papers already, and hopefully you had read the messages involving it. Otherwise, SURPRISE!

Thankfully, it didn't seem like the government was pushing for you to go absolutely, but they were STRONGLY SUGGESTING it for your own good. Your own enlightenment, if you will. Besides, it was free education, why pass that up?

These are the adventures of those inside of school on their first days...

[the idea of him prancing makes her laugh.] But guys being shirtless on the beach is normal. You'd just stand out if you kept everything on.

Well, unless you're like Akihiko-senpai and keep the shirt but forget the bottoms...

[He's pretty sure he'd stand out now regardless of whether he wore a shirt or not. His scars certainly aren't a pretty fashion statement.

In any case, if he wanted to be hot in any sense of the word, he'd rather it be from wearing a coat than from being shirtless.]


Tch. You make it sound like he wasn't wearing a damn thing. He does it to—

[He cuts himself off and lets the sentence hang. There's no reason to make excuses for Aki being himself. They're not kids. He's always been weird, and if wearing next to nothing down there helped his performance, then Aki'd be more than happy to do it, and your eyes just had to deal with the unfortunate consequences. Might as well not try to make it sound normal and try to justify his actions anymore.

Besides, he ain't here.]


It doesn't matter.

I guess the speedo isn't anything new, huh? [And scars can make a man look dignified. Just ask Akihiko himself, in about two years.

She's still laughing.]


Well, don't worry, Senpai. I'll put lots of sunscreen on you if we go to a pool or something this summer.

[all of those excuses = sunburn is still his real problem.]

Soon as he started "training" seriously he—

[He cuts himself off again and his expression flatlines. Her "if" statements are never "if" statements. The only time they are is if you die first.]

I don't need to swim.
greatseal: (confident)

[personal profile] greatseal 2013-04-08 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Sounds just about what she expected from Akihiko.]

You don't need to. It's still fun.

And you will need sunscreen even if you only want to sit under an umbrella and sleep.

[Sleeping he can do. Especially with a shirt on. However, he can't help but eye her skeptically at the suggestion. Would she let him just lie there?

Nice to know that she's be insistent about making sure there's sunscreen on him. She must really be concerned about his health. There isn't any other explanation for it.]


Sounds like you've got it all planned out.
greatseal: (smile)

[personal profile] greatseal 2013-04-08 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Of course. His health is very important, and if it means she has to rub lotion all over him it's a sacrifice she's willing to make.

Skepticism is very healthy, too.]


What's the point of summer if you don't enjoy it?
themortalhalf: ([Scan] ♞ nothing of worth)

[personal profile] themortalhalf 2013-04-08 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
I think you're asking the wrong guy.

[Summer is always so busy.]
greatseal: (go-getter)

[personal profile] greatseal 2013-04-08 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Then that's definitely something we can change this year.

[Shinjiro, that was exactly the wrong answer if you want a quiet summer.]

I don't know if they have a real beach somewhere, but we can go to the river and smash watermelons, and go swimming at a pool, and maybe climb the mountain - although we could do that this spring, too...

Oh, and movies! I bet they put on film festivals here, too. That'd be fun to try again. Afterwards we can get takoyaki and ice cream.

...Oh, are you two planning a summer trip amongst other things?

[What should have been a rescue, perhaps, was already turning into tightening the grip around poor Shinjiro. While Miki was not a huge fan of smashing a watermelon (waste not, want not was nearly drilled into her brain), at least they got to eat it afterwards.]

There's a beach or two around here... I went during the time we had the Frost and Pyro Jack weather wars. You just need to use the aerial tramway to get there.

[Also she hadn't stood there few a few minutes watching you two talk. That would be silly. Very, very, very silly.]

[He's never liked being outnumbered. He was already outmatched to begin with.

He will, however, finally let go of Minako's hand and wonder just how long Miki's been around, and try very hard to maintain his composure.]


We weren't planning anything.

[He certainly wasn't. He doesn't know where Miki's getting her "we" from, but there was no "we" about it. Any planning was clearly one-sided on Minako's part. He hopes she remembers to schedule in room to breathe.]

[personal profile] greatseal 2013-04-08 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Hi Miki how long have you been there... But unlike Shinjiro, she isn't too concerned about that. She has reinforcements.]

Yes we were. Senpai said he doesn't know how to have fun in the summer so I was coming up with things to do.

[This is a very, very loose summary. Also her hand is creeping back towards his again.]

[Heh heh heh heh...it's kinda adorable watching them go at it, really.]

Oh I see!

...how about if we make a shichirin for summer? We could cook vegetables and meat on it! [Well you guys could cook meat on it. She'd stick with veggies and maybe a side of chicken.]
themortalhalf: (Default)

[personal profile] themortalhalf 2013-04-08 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not sure "going at it" is the term he'd use.

It takes a bit of concentrated effort, but he sits up and lets his hand retreat into the relative safety of his pocket. He wants his coat back. This one's inadequate.]


...You want to make one?

[Not like they can't be bought somewhat economically for the uses you can get out of it. He'd say Miki's suggestion sounded reasonable (more reasonable than some of Minako's), except having a shichirin meant going places to use it. And who the hell knew where they'd end up.]
greatseal: (kidnapping your arm)

[personal profile] greatseal 2013-04-08 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
That's a great idea! And if we take it to the beach we can grill the watermelon, too. I've heard that makes it taste even better.

[She may have lost his hand, but now that he's sitting up, his arm is easily accessible. She takes that instead.] Or we could try fishing and cooking what we catch. Do you eat any seafood, Miki-chan?

Yeah! Maybe if we could find ourselves a large amount of clay, it could be pretty fun! ...or I guess we could just buy one, but it'd be something we worked at before summer comes... [Hurray for hands-on things that probably have disaster waiting to happen written all over them. At Minako's question she does turn around to face her more, grinning as she stretches and puts her arms behind her neck.]

No, I'm afraid never really liked the taste. Even the undercooked carrots at the orphanage were better. I'm not allergic mind you, otherwise I'd have a hard time considering our country's love of the stuff. Fish oil is fine, and I won't say no if someone insists they offer me unagi, but I'd rather have yakitori!

[He shoots Minako a brief, withering look when she takes his arm.

He can't win.

He doesn't know what's worse: saying something or saying nothing at all.

He opts to say nothing this round, neither condoning nor condemning the idea.

He does make a face at the mention of the orphanage's carrots, however, bristling at the memory with a morally offended grimace. Shit, they were terrible.]

[She smirks at the reaction the carrots mention gives him. There's really nothing that offends him more than bad food.]

I'm fine with yakitori, too. We can probably try all kinds of different things. I think some of those books have good grilling recipes...

[and now, directly to Shinjiro, so he can't hide behind silence anymore] What would you want to try cooking?

[personal profile] helenchanter 2013-04-08 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[And now it is Miki's turn to be quiet and just watch Shinjiro, a grin on her face. Yeah Jiji, you want to cook things, right?]

[He feels like he's being cornered by two opportunistic hyenas.

There are plenty of things he could cook on a shichirin. Finally try his hand at cooking Hibachi-style food and see if shichirin still cook as evenly as they say. He wouldn't mind trying it. Chicken was popular, and eel, and grilled vegetables were far better than any of that. Could even make a stew out of it if he tried, and not have to think of Aki wanting everything on a bed of rice.

But to say something like that would make it seem like he was tacitly approving whatever they were planning. He's afraid of what he might get roped into. You don't agree to anything without having the facts right in front of you.

The only godsend is that class starts again in fifteen minutes.

He never thought he'd be looking forward to it, but Minako's good at accomplishing the impossible, especially when she has an accomplice.

He keeps his face completely passive.

He can survive fifteen minutes. He's survived worse.]


I'd have to look.
greatseal: (leader)

[personal profile] greatseal 2013-04-09 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe not a hyena... but at least a big cat, sensing that her prey is getting closer. She can read him well enough by now. "I'd have to look" means he's started planning something. He may not tip his hand completely until the actual day of the cookout, but the net is already cast, and all she and Miki have to do is reel it in.]

Well, there's lots of time to figure that out before summer gets here!

[Oh she knows you too well. Of course you'd never outright agree at anything. It was just a game to maneuver around you to do things. That was fine. Have a look was almost a full acceptance in her book.]

Exactly! We have plenty of time to make one...and failing that, we can just buy one! Either way, it's could be a good learning experience...
