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.


[[Please use this as an open log for club activity, part-time jobs, monster fighting, whatever seems appropriate!]]

And you accepted? Didn't know the jewel of Demacia needed extra cash.

[rememberher]

[ tch. THIS GUY. ]

You know just as well as I do that money is different here than they are from our world. Moreover, that we can't actually talk to people from our world about this place, if we do return. Or did you not listen to the headmistress's speech?

[ Whoops, that was too much sass. ]

[indy_wannabe]

Oh, do they offer lectures with their waitressing now? Not sure that jives with the whole "customer service" thing.

[rememberher]

[ ... ]

Are you ready to order, sir?

[ HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW. ]

[indy_wannabe]

I'll have a scone. One that I actually get to eat this time, if you please.

[rememberher]

[ Would you like that with or without spit in the middle ]

And will that be all for you?

[ Trying not to visibly twitch. She may be gripping her pen a bit tightly. ]

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.

[actsmagnificent]

Is that going to be a problem? [ Haruka probably isn't, frankly. But she's used to thinking of herself as an Adult. (It comes with being an antihero.) ]

[actsmagnificent]

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

[ It was lacrosse, right? ]

[almostanthy]

Are you certain...? [ Towa tries to find the proper words to protest. This was her mistake! She should bear the brunt of it!

Yet serving the customers should be her first priority right now, and she can't afford to be ungracious. ] You have my gratitude!

[ All right, what was the next drink order...? Towa forces herself not to hurry beyond her ability to focus. One step at a time. One step at a time will get everyone served.

One large hot cocoa, three of these....caramel confections.... ]

[ms_perfection]

[Despite herself, Kamala could only smile a little at Towa's eagerness to work. It seemed like this was all new for her, working retail, and she continued to help out as much as possible.

From the floors went to the spill on the table nearby and picking up the cups that had fallen.]

[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.]

[sogetsu]

No, its just strange considering you're a teacher...not just the head of the club.

[ shrug ]

[actsmagnificent]

[ For that, you simply get a mysterious smile. ] I hope it won't keep us from becoming close.

[almostanthy]

[ After what seems like an eternity and was probably only several minutes, Towa places the last of her drink order backlog on the serving bar. She allows herself a brief moment to catch her breath - hiding her sigh behind her hand - and then looks over at her customer. That is really too good of this person. ] I'm...prepared to start your order, now.

[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!

[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?

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.

[1wing]

[ Now this, Tsubasa had not expected. A student deflecting her sneak attack, with a Go piece? She had to have her. ]

Stay always on the battlefield. [ JOZAI SENJOU ] Your vigilance is commended, but I can hardly afford to wait ten years.

[ Because first, that's incredibly insulting to the teacher who's here to teach you how to fight monsters, jeez. Second: ]

You can hardly join my club once you've graduated, after all.

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. ]

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.

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. ]

[sogetsu]

...Close? Why would you care about that?

[ Kirie narrows her eyes slightly before stepping foward and pointing at the other accusingly. There's something alluring about that smile and something...just not right. She use to her teammates back home poking fun at her so she's quick to be defensive.]

You better not be making fun of me, Sensei.

[indy_wannabe]

Yes. For now.

[rememberher]

Oh, we don't meet until March. Recruitment starts after the fall term. Um.

[ What was his name again? And why did she feel slightly flustered that he remembered? ]

Haruka, right? Are you having any luck finding people for track?
