WE'VE GOT SCHOOL SPIRIT!

[makenaide]

With the first term of the school year in full swing, and the first few weeks going off without a hitch, clubs, intramural teams and official sports teams at both Crux Academy and Nebulae Institute have begun meeting for the first time. With a wide number of different extra curricular and other various things to do around campus outside of class, students are highly encouraged to take part in one or multiple goings-on around their school. Both schools will be hosting an involvement fair (at different times, conveniently enough) in order to bolster enrollment in the various clubs or teams, and students are encouraged to at least give these different opportunities a try.

Not seeing a club or organization that catches your fancy? That's all right! Just make one yourself. So long as you have enough members (neither school has gone into too much detail about what constitutes "enough"), and are willing to share--or fight for, as the case may be--club room or field space, then you're set!

Interested in taking a more responsible approach? Various businesses around Galactica have begun hiring part time students. While many of the jobs are more than willing to take on Crux students, there are a few establishments that seem to prefer the cunning ways of Nebulae's student body. These jobs run the gamut between retail, babysitting, hospitality--really anything.

Additionally, the vocational school for monsters is looking for assistance in getting their students real-world experience. Be it helping them terrorize the town or giving them something to fight, this volunteer work is easy enough to find, and a good way to get some real world experience. Participation is highly encouraged.

Track Team

[actsmagnificent]

[ Bringing in stuff to decorate her booth sounds too much like effort, so the Crux Academy Track Team's showing at this club fair consists of a sign with their name on it and...Haruka.

Who is leaning against the wall next to the sign with her arms crossed and her eyes closed. She seems to sense whenever there are Crux students passing by, however, and speaks up. ] Excuse me.

[ She lifts her gaze to them. If she's speaking to girls, a smile touches her face. ] I've been looking for someone like you.

[sogetsu]

Huh? [Kirie blinks, coming to a stop. Were it not for Haruka speaking up it was pretty clear she was going to completely pass the Track Team 'booth' without so much of a glance. It didn't grab attention so it was easy to not even notice it. Such a lack of effort...]

Like me? [She can't help but point to herself as her cheeks light up for a moment. Those words and that smile...Wow Such flattery!]

I can't say there are many people like me. But its nice of you to notice.

[Kirie returns the smile with one of her own and places her hands on her hips; standing proud.]

[actsmagnificent]

We're looking for people who aim for the sky. [ Haruka approaches. Her smile only improves at close range. In fact, the air seems to sparkle around her. ] How about it, kitten? Won't you fly with me?

[ Rose petals might drift across the scene. Or maybe they're imaginary. ]

[rememberher]

[ Lux wasn't looking for a new club at the moment, but after manning her booth for a few hours, she was finally allowed a break. Walking around the square, taking in the various clubs' showings. There were a lot more this year than in the past, it seems.

Hearing someone call out to her, the blond blinks a few times, turning. Hey, isn't that..? ]

Huh? Are you talking to me?

[ What a poised response. 10/10 ]

[actsmagnificent]

Long time no see. [ Haruka salutes. She hasn't forgotten you, certainly not. ] How's lacrosse?

[ It was lacrosse, right? ]

Cooking Club (student portion) & Galactica

[almostanthy]

[ option a - crux academy involvement fair ]

[ Why is the air so full of glitter over here? Did a magical girl battle take place?

Not quite! When told they'd need to promote their activities, the newest Cooking Club member has decided to host a Princess Tea Party! Come enjoy nothing but the finest of teas and the most delightfully light and fancy of confections, paired flawlessly by your hostess, Towa. Who looks pleased as punch to be here. This is something she knows how to do! She can use her skills to promote her club! ]

[ option b - in galactica ]

[ Did you know Galactica has its own chain of fake-hipster coffeeshops?! In support of the nearby school, it's called Starcrux, and they're hiring! Aggressively! There's a manager outside shoving flyers at people and hurrying unsuspecting students inside to fill out application paperwork!

Their most recent victim is running about attempting to fix six different drinks on her own right now. ] Good day! In what might I interest y---ah!

[ Towa is not usually clumsy. But the tea party she'd hosted is really much more of a Princess's speed than this.

Watch out for flying coffee. ]

b

[ms_perfection]

[Kamala tried not to scream.

She really did.

But when hot coffee pours all over you, well...]

NNNNNNNGAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I'm fine!

[Oh god that stung though.]

[almostanthy]

Do excuse me! I am so, so sorry!!

[ Leaving the cups she'd been working with alone, Towa hurries around to the other side of the counter with a towel in hand. She'll dab at the coffee all over Kamala if the other girl lets her. ] Were you injured??

[ No burns?? ]

A

[twinkletwinklesuperstar]

[Phew, she's finally here. She'd ended up coming into the Academy a little later than most thanks to a quick overseas trip for a photo shoot but better late than never!

And what a time to arrive. Things were really in full swing around here and she's pretty eager to make the rounds and see what the place has to offer. There's a friend here that she's already gone far too long without seeing and she's got to fix that before she does anything else.

It isn't hard to find just where Towa's set up and she pauses a second to laugh quietly at the sign pointing towards it, just what she'd expect from Towachi, before stepping into view.]

Hii! [She grins wide, winking at her friend.] I heard there was a tea party going on over here.

[almostanthy]

Good day. [ Her roommate came! Towa is pleased and touched.

She gestures to the abundance of open chairs, still determined not to break character as the hostess of the tea party. Kirara is also a professional. Towa trusts she will understand. ] Please, sit wherever you'd like...

[wishingalone]

[Mami is, of course, a member of the Cooking Club. She loves to bake -- and cook all sorts of things, really. But baking is her favorite, which she pursues eagerly. But tea parties!]

[She so loves them. And so she shows up, hands clasped before her, as she takes a look around.]

Oh, why, this looks splendid!

[Hi Towa!]

[almostanthy]

[ Oh, thank goodness, Towa is encountering Mami again in a field she excels in. She'll be able to properly show the other girl her gratitude now. ] Mami, wasn't it? Good day.

[ She must not get bashful. She must not. She is a Princess inviting a friend to her tea party. That is all. ] Would you care to join me?

Both involvement fairs & Galactica

[finalshowjo]

[ option a - crux academy involvement fair ]

[ Woe betide anyone who's trying to hand out fliers to promote tbeir organization at this fair (and anyone who attempts to receive one). Faster than the human eye can track, a hand darts out of seemingly nowhere and replaces that flier with one for the Nebulae Institute Go Club. You've been Sion'd.

Ignoring the person trying to hand out their own fliers, she addresses the would-be recruit. ] Reading the opponent's moves is a key feature of combat. Join me and whet your competitive spirit as our schools battle for superiority! "Springtime of youth"!

[ option b - nebulae institute involvement fair ]

[ Fully half of the fair has now been occupied by a 19X19 grid drawn in tape on the floor. Dozens and dozens of tiny panda mascots - all white on one side of the grid, all black on the other - crowd the edges waiting their turn to be told where to stand on the "board".

Lording over all of this is Sion, calling placements to both sides as a demonstration. ] 4-4. 17-16. 16-4.

[ A small table set up with various books on Go also features a sign claiming parties interested in the Go club can solve sample puzzles for prizes. ]

[ option c - galactica ]

[ A giant soccer ball is terrorizing the city! It's rolling down the street, disrupting traffic, and generally making a nuisance of itself in the hopes that someone will come see what all the fuss is about.

And riding atop it, sitting in formal seiza style with her arms crossed, is Sion. How's she staying balanced? They aren't magical girls for nothing. ] "Needle in a haystack"! An ally this worthy is rare indeed!

[cure_fire]

Springtime of youth?

[Ban looked at the new Go Club flier in his hands.] What exactly is the Go Club?

[He was rather curious. She seemed to be a nebulae student.]

[finalshowjo]

"Fresh blood!" Allow me to explain.

[ This Crux student has Sion's full attention. She holds up one of the flyers she still has in her hands. A mix of Crux and Nebulae students would be perfect for her club, just as she'd strategized. For, after all, the essence of Go is: ] White against black, good versus evil. Go is the ultimate strategy game, a microcosm of life itself. "Survival of the fittest"! "Sturm und Drang!"

[ She whips out a Go stone from nowhere and, holding it between two fingers in a salute, winks. ] Let's GO together!

c

[vitallyvitriolic]

[ wow, that sure is a giant soccer ball. Normally this is kind of just another day for him, but there don't seem to be any students around to take the lead...

Guess he'll have to take care of this one. ]

If you don't quieten down, I'll have to take matters into my own hands! Hee hee! [ With his small stature and generally weird demeanor, he definitely doesn't look like a teacher...but he sure seems confident. ]

[finalshowjo]

[ No, Sion doesn't look intimidated, not even a little bit. She knows better than to judge an opponent based on their looks, but the only people with authority over her here should be the Nebulae faculty, correct? And she doubts this person qualifies.

So she closes her eyes, dismissing his defiance. ] Overriden. Your challenge carries no weight. Onward!!

[ The soccer ball, happy to have found a good partner from the monster internship, rumbles down the street. If someone doesn't stop it soon, it's in danger of running a red light! ]

Involvement Fair + On the Town

[rememberher]

[A]

[ Lux loved the involvement fair. It was a chance to bring in some new blood to the various clubs that she was a part of, and while one of them (Lacrosse) was not actively recruiting, color guard was always on guard (/rimshot) for interested parties. A few students stood at the booth, decorated with the school's colors, pictures from previous performances, and various pieces of equipment used, Lux had taken to standing by, idly twirling one of the batons.

Quite well, in fact.

She didn't mean to be a show off, she really didn't, but a natural staff user herself, it was like an extension of her own arm, and after a while, she started to get a bit more showy with her movements. Turns, flourishes, tosses, all executed with perfect poise and beauty, she hardly noticed that she was drawing a crowd until, after a particularly high toss, the small crowd applauded.

Laughing a bit awkwardly, she took a small bow. Whoops. Well, at least they were getting attention? ]


[B]

[ After a particularly frustrating encounter with another Runeterra local, the cafe practically begged her to take a waitress position. Hearing that they were extremely short staffed, she was guilted into the job couldn't just say no.

So, dressed in her new uniform, Lux's life as a career woman (sort of) at the Delish Bliss cafe was assured. It was her first day solo on the job, and customers were generally very understanding. Please go easy on her! ]

Hi there. I'll be your waitress today. Are you ready to order?


[C]

[ Wild card me! Feel free to catch her wandering around the involvement fair, or heading to and from work! ]

Re: Involvement Fair + On the Town

[indy_wannabe]

Are you SURE you're a waitress this time?

[He's about to crack up, really, it's admirable how well he's holding back his laughter right now]

B

[zetsuketsu]

Hnn, it's about time. I feel like I've been waiting here forever... hey, is the service here always this slow, or is it just you?

[WELL, LOOK WHO IT IS, Nebulae's star slacker here apparently eager to try some of this restaurant's wares. Or maybe just to screw with its staff.

Probably the second one.]

Actually, don't bother answering, I don't really care. [With that, he flicks the menu forward onto the table rather than hand it to her and... leans back in his chair propping his dirty old shoes up on the table right next to the discard menu.] Just get me a coffee and make it quick.

Japanese Culture Appreciation Club

[1wing]

Still Recruiting!

[ The Japanese Culture Appreciation Club, shortened to the JCA, is definitely still recruiting! The booth Tsubasa and her students have set up is nothing fancy because none of them are especially good at art but it doesn't have to be.

She believes in showing the practical effects of her studies! ]

Hey, en garde!

[ Tsubasa's voice rings out from above you, and a kunai zips out of the treetops, completely missing anybody's body, and instead punching clean into the ground.

A miss...? Hardly, it's her Shadow Binding, anybody pinned by their shadows should be left unable to move.

It's ninjutsu. ]

Meeting

[ It's really not supposed to be a ninjutsu club, but that's the flashiest thing Tsubasa can do without putting on her Gear, so she's continuing that theme before handing the reins off to the students and their independent research. ]

There are many facets to Japanese culture. They are a people who have thrived for many centuries, many of them spent developing without interference from the rest of the world. It means there is nothing quite like it anywhere.

[ She's giving a lecture after having everyone watch a period flick. ]

Assassins all over the world have their own ways of getting into places. I doubt you will find another people who decided the best way to beat a moat was simply to walk over it.

It's a difficult skill, but one anyone can learn. All it requires is sufficient physical fitness, and the willingness to abandon the ego and become one with nature. I believe it should be relevant to your future hunting, too. A proper warrior must be prepared to fight no matter where the enemy strikes from.

recruitment

[finalshowjo]

[ Ah, very clever. What Tsubasa had intended to happen would have been quite ingenious indeed.

Unfortunately for her, her opponent is well-versed in predicting attacks. The kunai finds itself knocked off trajectory by a small chain weighted with a white stone on one side and a black stone on the other - pieces used for playing Go.

The girl who'd thrown the chain recrosses her arms. ] "Don't count your chickens." Attempt your assault again in ten years.

[ She looks over at Tsubasa. ] Did you wish to speak to me?

Alchemy Club

[vitallyvitriolic]

a. oh god what is this

[ The alchemy club's booth is more or less a stage for Plague Knight to show off to victims volunteers exactly what potions are capable of doing. He has a few test subjects, of course, like any good scientist does; heavily clad assistants in bright magenta and green, who seem to be vaguely birdlike.

There are usually explosions involved at any given moment, to be honest. The loud, colourful blasts echoing around the fair can be easily traced back to this particular club. ]

b. around town

[ As a teacher, Plague Knight has no need for extra work, but he does always need reagents...and he's always carrying something weird; boxes that rattle and growl, cages locked tight, bags that seem distinctly active... He definitely stands out, in his armor and everything. He never seems to take it off. ]

Out in the Town!

[wishingalone]

[It's a great day to take a walk in Galactica, and there's all those wonderful cafes and the like. Of course, there is also something else in one of the central parks.]

[...the hedge maze.]

[Every term, Mami tells herself she will conquer it. Every term, this happens: the drill curled young woman walks through the hedge maze, an hour into it, with a frown on her face. She is completely, and utterly, lost.]

Perhaps... left ahead? Or maybe right? Ah...

Re: Out in the Town!

[cure_fire]

Lost as I am?

[Ban had decided to give the maze a crack and even though his sense of direction was good, he was utterly lost as Mami was.]
