[open/mingle] everyone needs a hobby

Who: anyone in Aldrip who wants a hobby
Where: Kotone's club building!
What: It's finally time... for school clubs to be available.
Warnings: None as of yet, but please let me know if I need to edit this!

There's been a building under construction at the edge of town for a few months now; it looks as though at one point it had been a small warehouse for dry goods and storage that hadn't seen use in quite some time before being acquired by Kotone. When time allowed, she's been working on retrofitting it into what could almost (almost) be mistaken for a school practice building on the inside. Now, a sign has been posted on the open door, quite descriptively labeling it as Club Building Now Open!! Come in!!


🎾Gym


Interested in starting a sports team, or just want somewhere indoors and relatively open? There's a volleyball net, balls, and various other kinds of sports equipment that Kotone was able to find/buy/acquire around town for the months she's been preparing. There are also some (wooden practice) weapons available for training and sparring, and a few lockers and showers nearby. They're available for anyone to use at any time, though if anyone breaks a window with her things, she'll be so disappointed and expect help fixing it. :(


🪑"Classrooms"


While not true classrooms in that there's no school and not very many desks, there are several empty rooms available to be repurposed into an activity room. In one room, one can find a very small assortment of musical instruments; in another, a few easels and art supplies. Another room that's far better outfitted is a room with a cute handwritten sign reading Sewing Club! 💖 on its door. Inside, as one might expect, there are two dressforms and several bolts of cloth alongside some Aldrip-style (read: vintage) sewing machines, as well as plenty of needles and thread.


👩‍🍳Kitchen


One of the places that had taken her the longest to set up was the galley-style kitchen and tables. While it may not be the most modern or ornate kitchen in the world, it features the kind of appliances the Chosen would expect to find in Aldrip. It's very much a bring-your-own-ingredients situation, aside from basic spices and bulk staples that are available for anyone -- Kotone doesn't exactly have the same kind of funding a real school's Cooking Club would have, after all! -- but perhaps more importantly, it has a decent selection of pans, trays, and other cooking and baking supplies in the cabinets and cupboards.

Shinjiro has posted a simple sign that says "Cooking Club" on the door. Another sign says "Wash your hands."


Roof


What would a protagonist's building be without a flat roof to climb up to and stare wistfully into the distance? It's a roof. There's a few benches, or you can just stand on it. Be careful!!

This is also where Scott's Teens With Abilities and Talents club meets. Come say hello!

[This is an open mingle! Use it for all your club-creating/club-joining purposes. Feel free to assume that as long as no one is intentionally and obviously going to cause harm with their club, Kotone will approve it and make sure they have a room and (basic) supplies! The pictures are just a guide; adapt a classroom however you see fit! For organizational purposes, there's an open OOC post for club sign-ups here!]

Nope, I pretty much just got here.

[ The way she casually brings up something happening "a couple weeks ago" gives him a pause. Just how long are people expected to stay here? The fact some people have been around long enough to pretty much settle down and more or less start a life in this place does not fill him with optimism.

Anyway, his continuous and futile quest to find answers and a way out can wait a little longer. ]


... Yeah, you sound like a cupcakes and cookies kinda gal.

[ He doesn't... specify if he thinks it's a good thing or not?? But he figures someone who goes out of their way to set up hobby clubs for people would be of a more cheery kind, so that fits her, sort of. ]

[ "Purgatory" or even "Hell", that part goes without saying in Ragna's mind. Though the fact there are people here who are still alive back in their worlds seems to go against that theory, but fuck if he knows how any of this is supposed to work.

He lets out an amused snort. Pigs will fly before he ever admits it, but it turns out her good mood might be somewhat contagious. ]


Depends on how good you are.

[ Is that a challenge? It might be a challenge. But considering how poor his little sister's cooking skills are, it might also be a very real concern. ]

[ Daring him to do something, issuing a challenge or straight up telling him he can't do something are probably the fastest ways of making sure he does the thing in question. As reluctant as he is to meet and talk with people, he's quick to change his tune under those specific circumstances.

Plus, he'd never pass up a chance for some free food. ]


I might need to.

[ He might still complain about having to deal with others, but it's progress nonetheless? Kotone should be proud of herself! ]

Guess I'll see you around, then.
