[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!]

[ Mizuki lets out a soft laugh. She takes a second to glance at her charm, as if it were a watch, though it doesn't tell her the time. ...Well, it's better than if she were caught asking Aiba for it, at least. ]

Thanks. [ ...Though Mizuki gets the feeling Kotone would say that regardless, no matter how terrible she were doing. She's great with kids, isn't she... Mizuki won't protest, though. ] How much longer are you staying? Maybe I can send you out of here with him.

Hah. Well, don't let me hold you back.

[ Dazai already sounds tiring, but she'll see for herself someday. For now, Mizuki should focus. So after a little more small talk, Mizuki struggles with the Adorabbit. It probably doesn't look great: its three eyes are all different sizes and shapes, rather than matching, and there is a little more pink, because maybe she thought it suit Kotone more. During the whole process, more and more people start to leave, and it's dusk outside.

Did Kotone feel like she should be the last one out? ]

[ A while later, Mizuki comes up suddenly behind Kotone, placing the weight of Adorabbit on her shoulder in hopes of catching her a little by surprise. ]

Still here?
usarinpa: (wave)

[personal profile] usarinpa 2023-08-10 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah!

[ Was there any doubt? ...Okay, so maybe there were some doubts. The sun is pretty low in the sky now, and there was always the chance this little guy was going to end up left at Kotone's doorstep. Maybe that would've been preferable, but on second thought, Mizuki is probably pretty glad she doesn't have to risk the risk of theft.

...Not that anyone would want this thing. But you never know. ]


Just in time, right? Don't overfeed him if you take him to dinner. [ She says, in jest. ]
