[open/mingle] everyone needs a hobby
Who: anyone in Aldrip who wants a hobby
Where: Kotone's club building!
What: It's finally time... forschool 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!!
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. :(
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.
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."
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!]

In fact, she doesn't even address it, even though it's there. Like Scott is leaving the goal wide open for Ange to chuck the ball of a dry remark into.
No, instead she's quiet for a moment, slowly blinks, and then asks: ]
We're friends?
[ Yes, Ange, that's what he just said...
But even though she doesn't sound particularly shocked or offended - she sounds as flat and calm as ever - she's echoing the words back to him all the same, with an audible question mark at the end there. ]
no subject
[That's how clubs generally work though, from what he knows. You join a club and become friends with all the other assholes there. He never did participate in them back in his old school, which may be sort of weird considering he's leading one now. It's just, easier right now, for one reason or another. Maybe 'easier' isn't the right word, but it just actually feels important to him instead of stupid chess club or sports club.
Whatever, he's doing this because he wants to is the main thing.
He looks upward for a moment, like he's avoiding her gaze, but it's clear that he's still sort of teasing her.]
Unless you're saying that you don't want to be friends. [He's definitely not above pulling that card, even in the face of Ange's eternal deadpan. Could be more reason why he's pulling it.]
no subject
Forget the future twinkie teasing. No, no, this is clearly the worst thing he's ever done to Ange. The biggest personal attack. It'd be one thing if he had left it at that first part, but Scott just had to drag that second part into it. The sort of thing that leaves Ange in the position where she has to actually say something, rather than just.. silently accepting the friendship and trying to seem cool about it..
But the 'trying to seem cool about it' ship is rapidly leaving the port. ]
When did I say I don't want to be?
[ Look at that face.. Ange may have been able to pull a relative pokerface a moment ago, but there's certainly something shifting in it now. The bridge of her nose wrinkles, like she's actually pouting. Just a little bit, but.. it's definitely there. ]
no subject
Hearing that, Scott turns his head back towards Ange, and just in time to see the slight pout that's formed. His world may be entirely red now, but he's not blind, and the young mutant's cocky grin only increases. He's definitely way too smug about this, but he can't help it.]
Soooo, we're friends then. Come on, say it.
no subject
[ .. then what are you saying, Ange--
Though it's probably clear to both of them entirely what it is she wants to say here, right. That's why Scott is looking so smug about it in the first place. And it's exactly because he's grinning that Ange only wants to say it out loud even less, looking more flustered by the moment.
The dumbest possible spiral of teasing. Especially when most people only get this worked up about crush teasing, but no, Ange also apparently just gets like this about mere friendship.. ]
Y-You're just a person I tolerate being around me sometimes! Isn't that enough?
no subject
But geez, it's just friendship, nothing too embarrassing!! However, Scott decides to have some mercy on her and not force the other teen to admit those dreaded words. She's the Monotone Girl that would definitely fit in with the goth crowd and everything, so her struggling makes sense. Besides, he knows that she counts them as friends and that's pretty cool.]
I guess. [Scott accents that word, as if it's extremely difficult to accept this.] As long as you tolerate me more than some other people.
no subject
Well, okay, it's a slight bit of a mercy, since he's at least not forcing her to say it directly, even though he clearly could have pressed on even more. Still, him leaving it at this does seem to let some fluster remain on Ange. The girl lets out a huff, and then speaks up with: ]
Sure, I tolerate you more than I tolerate about 90% of the people in this place.
[ Which sounds like.. an actual compliment, maybe, if you imagine it would be said with any tone but Ange's own. She gestures with her hand out at the landscape from the rooftop, then adding: ]
Because I don't even talk to those people. [ Why would anyone do that, Scott? Talking to people? Surely no one does that voluntarily. ]
no subject
[That's definitely a compliment in his book, especially from Miss Deadpan. Hehe, absolutely no way he's going to let her forget this in the future, but as he said earlier, he's going to give her a small break. As president of the club, he has to make sure that people want to return and everything.
Although, speaking of the club... he glances over to the other members that have been chatting and mingling amongst themselves. Right, more people to greet.]
You don't have to talk to those people, but. [Scott gestures to the other members on the rooftop. And look, he's even going to be a little encouraging and a loser--] Try talking with them, Ange, maybe you'll end up 'tolerating' them at least.
no subject
When she looks back at Scott, she lets out the most dramatic sigh known to mankind. A true Teenager sigh. ]
Am I allowed to shove someone off the rooftop if they're being particularly annoying when I try to talk to them?
[ ANGE, NO...
At least it doesn't.. sound like she's serious.. Considering Scott has probably caught on to the fact that Ange is making a joke when she uses that very dry and deadpan tone. ]
no subject
Just make sure my back is turned when you do it. [He's definitely assuming that she's not serious. Murder is pretty extreme and everything!! But with a slight smile, he makes a 'move on' gesture.]
You can't take up all of the club president's time, he's got places to be, people to talk to.
