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.

Comments

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.

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. ]

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!

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! ]

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.

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...
