[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! đź’– 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."


â›…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!]

I’ve never really done that, either. My classmates who usually do tutoring keep our study groups more on task. It’s still fun, though.

[Iida’s intense, but fair, and Izuku always enjoys spending time with his friends regardless. Yaoyorozu always provides tea and snacks, and her desire to be helpful brings out an enthusiasm that’s infectious. Kacchan…

Actually, Izuku isn’t sure what studying with Kacchan is like beyond his loud declaration that he would tutor Kirishima “to death.” He is kind of scared to find out, and yet wants it to be something they do together more than anything. Their current relationship in a nutshell.]


Yeah, our school switched to a dorm system partway through first year. It was a little weird at first, but…it’s nice, living together with everyone. I really like it.

That's good.

[It usually falls to Tsuna to keep everyone in line. But that's also like herding cats so he usually gives up most of the time. Even if it means his grades suffer.]

I don't think my school is big enough for dorms or anything like that. But Hibari-san probably wouldn't like it either. It does seem like it could be fun though.

[Too much crowding.]

Yeah, my school has a lot of students and the campus is really, really big. Every class has its own dorm building, and that barely takes up much space.

[To say nothing of the multiple gyms...and the pool...and the simulated urban environments...and the Unforeseen Simulation Joint...and the extensive amount of woodland...]

Is Hibari one of your friends?
theskyaccepts: (better than I thought)

[personal profile] theskyaccepts 2023-08-31 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Wow! That's almost hard to imagine. But then I'm from a small town, so...yeah.

[But he nods. And kind of laughs. Hibari probably wouldn't see them as friends, but Tsuna does. At least now. Still kind of terrifying but his Cloud can be relied upon.]

He is. He's also head prefect and doesn't really like crowds all that much. I don't think he'd like living in a dorm.

I couldn't either until I actually started there, to be honest.

[UA applies the Plus Ultra spirit to everything.]

Sounds a little bit like one of my classmates. [Though sometimes it's hard to tell when Kacchan's not being very big on groups and socializing and how much is his old man bedtime.] I don't think I've ever heard of a 'head prefect,' though.

I think he gave himself the title. He's kinda scary, so no one really argues with him.

[It wouldn't surprise Tsuna at all.]

He's also the head of the Disciplinary Committee, so that probably has something to do with it.

I know what that's like. [SORRY NOT SORRY KACCHAN. He recognizes and is proud of your growth, but "scary, so no one really argues" is absolutely something that applied to the old you.] I've never been to a school with a Disciplinary Committee before. One of my best friends is class president, but I doubt that's very similar.

[There's a thought slowly building in the back of Izuku's mind: this is probably the most ordinary conversation he's ever had in his life. It's a weird realization...but. Not a bad one.

This feels nice.]

[Normalcy is so nice. It's something that Tsuna has come to value highly, especially since his value for normal has had to change rapidly.

He smiles, glad that he's not the only person who has a friend like this.]


I think it's a bit a different. He mostly just keeps the school in order and makes sure we follow the rules. Probably little too tightly.

[He's just come to accept it. Especially since that order seems to expand to the teachers, and the town. And most of the delinquents got to Kokuyo anyway.]

But he's a good guy to have on your side.
