Summary;

Day 2: Clubs clubs clubs! They want you to join! Honor societies, sororities, fraternities, geek campaigns, magic circles, everyone's got something to offer and they want you to join their ranks...if you're good enough anyway.

The Club Event on Wednesday is an egalitarian event put on by various organizations from all the schools. This is where you come in! You may have your character form a club or become a member of one--or try to become a member of one. Clubs can be as easy to get into or as hard to get into as you like. Clubs can have a set of requirements for entry or a single test characters need to perform for acceptance. Make it as welcoming or as elite as you'd like. There will be music and food and entertainment venues in the Square courtesy of the Deities. Sign up is not necessary for attendance, so even unaffected characters can crash the party. You are free to have your characters hold their own private promotions parties as well in the spirit of sorority, fraternity, or general school rivalry.

One of the curses that had transformed the City landscape, and the Square had become no exception, though now it was at the hands of cursed citizens, not the deities or curses themselves. They had placed the schools there, but the students and teachers set up the club fair. Banners and colorful posters lined the rows, with volunteers from the clubs shouting and waving anything they could to attract potential members to their tables. Teachers walk amongst them to assure things run smoothly, and a glimpse of a headmaster or principal every now and then keeps everything in place.

Where's your booth? Looking for something to occupy your time? Got a hobby you hope has a group? New, up and coming club? Established sorority? There's something here for everyone, it seems.

[rules! everyone's welcome, so come one, and come all, but please label your comments! as usual, use "open" or "closed to ___", and specify time if you'd like, ("set up", "during the fair", etc.), but we'd also like to ask that clubs label their comments and put all their activity in that thread- it's easier for everyone to manage things and follow that way! So, say- if I throw up a Grell comment for the poetry club, I'll put "POETRY CLUB" in the title and everyone involved in that would just comment beneath that. Of course, you're still free to have open and individual threads, too- Go wild!]

[The banner reads, in the neatest calligraphy possible, Future Leaders & Ladies of the City. And behind it, a few girls who'd volunteered or been roped in to watching the booth that banner belonged to.

Hazuki Mina, 12th grade, and transfer student who still wears her old uniform (http://i37.tinypic.com/23wkx1f.gif), looked... well, not thrilled to be there. Deliciously blank. And giving the same lines to everyone who showed an interest.

Needless to say, she has ulterior motives for being in the FLLC in the first place.]

[This booth is one of those really nice ones, with an awning that has the banner We are the Girls Going Places strung across the way, as well as a music system hidden under the table to play the latest catchy pop song at passersby, whether they like that kind of music or not.

Merry is standing behind the booth setting out flyers and the guest list on the table. Pictures of the cute ice cream sandwiches (http://blogs.smarter.com/blogs/finalpic.jpg) (that Riff helped her make) and cold sodas they're selling are also going up-- because hey, a club has to make funds here and there.

Other officers and applicants, come on down~]

[Lihua was, to put it simply, feeling rather overwhelmed. So many clubs, so many people...

She knew she ought to join something- right? But what...

The banner caught her eye, though, and she paused before the booth, awkwardly watching for a bit. Girls Going Places... ?

[Lalala, putting up more decorations and posters, because their awning needs more of them. And then she turns and notices someone watching. Watching people means people interested in the club! Or at least the ice cream sandwiches. Merry would take either person.]

Oh, hi there! Welcome to our booth!

H- Hello.

[She'd almost jumped upon being addressed, but quickly straightened up, sidling over a bit closer to the booth so she wouldn't have to yell over the crowd]

Ah... I was wondering. What sort of places you were. Going...

Oh, we go to lots of places. Our club is dedicated to the bonding of friendships between girls all different ages while exploring and adventuring to new places.

[Merry points to a tri-fold poster board, pictures covering every inch of it. Prepare for rambling!]

Last year one of our big trips was camping in the mountains. We stayed up there for two weeks learning about environmental issues that endanger the animals and plants there, and what we can do to help protect them. We were taught how to do all sorts of Girl Scout type of things, like fishing, safely making camp fires, and properly hiking in the forest area. At the end of the two weeks, all of the girls pitched in to make a little rest house for the animals to stay in when the weather gets too bad up there. See, right here.

[And she points to a picture on the poster board, giving her a smile.]

[It's a simple booth, with a banner that reads "SELF-DEFENSE CLUB" in big, dark letters, and a little cat sketched near the bottom. About eight meters behind the stand is a target nailed to a pole, and on the table is a box of twenty or so darts. They were the closest he had to knives, and he wasn't dumb enough to bring those where a teacher would see them, anyway. A little stuffed cat is casually draped over the box's edge.

Kanone watches the passing people with a smirk, trying to look friendly but not really advertising his club. His plan is to avoid anyone he sees from Ohtori (due to his less-than-pleasant experience there) and make mental notes of those he finds suitable to join the self-defense club.]

[Lulu Bell is pleased to see that Merry has embraced the task of club recruitment with such enthusiasm and good taste. She stops in front of the booth on one of her many rounds.]

Well done, Miss Merry. I see you have already begun raising funds.

Miss Hazuki.

[Lulu Bell, lurking amongst the club booths with the hope of preventing trouble, stops to address the promising-looking transfer. Ah, that unveiled apathy reminds her of her own school days.]

How are you finding Trinity Hall?

[The booth is a vision. Exotic plants are arranged artfully all over, providing bursts of color and a delicate scent that complements the delicious aroma wafting from a beautiful pot of tea. Tiny flower-shaped dishes are full of different mixtures of tea leaves, each smelling more intoxicating than the last. A sign above reads, in masterfully executed calligraphy, "OHTORI ACADEMY TEA CLUB".

Iroh sits serenely at the table, sipping a cup of tea with a satisfied smile, totally oblivious to the strange looks he's getting from real students.]

[The table and scrawled sign--"WESTERBERG HIGH CHESS CLUB"--hardly constitute a booth. There is a sign-up sheet and a chess set on the table. Behind the table is Justin, hunched over a book and making no effort whatsoever to encourage people to join.]

Iroh!

[Penny, eager to see what kinds of clubs are being offered by the various schools, wandered down to have a look around as soon as her office hours were over. She knows Iroh from her days at Ohtori and has tried to keep in contact with the affable cafeteria worker.

She apparently doesn't find the fact that a cafeteria worker has a club booth at all strange.]

This looks amazing! ...But how're you doing? What's up?

Penny!

[Iroh brightens and immediately pours the young teacher a cup of her favorite tea, offering it with a warm smile.]

It's just a humble effort, but I'm glad you like it. How are you doing? It's been too long.

[His table has a large, swirly-lettered sign "SEWING CLUB", with his highschool's name printed neatly below it. Tarrant is currently setting up a mannequin beside the table that holds one of his best jacket pieces he's done--as well as a few hats and what-not; He adjusts his sign-up sheet, his stack of photocopied literature, places a pen by them, and sits down. He waits for a time, just watching people go by...then thinks to get on his homework, burying himself in a textbook]

[Thanks to the book and the fact that Rudy actually has a knack for being rather stealthy when he wants to be, Justin may not notice his favourite antagonist's approach to the booth. Or at least, not until one of the white pawns is shifted forward in a classic opening move, making a soft click against the wood of the board as it comes to rest in its new square.]

[Hanna's taking a break from manning the Self-Defense Club booth with Kanone to look around at the other booths. He's not exactly the most social person in the world...but it might be nice to try and do something like a group activity. Could be fun.

He stops in front of Tarrant's booth to look around...that is one well dressed mannequin...
He smiles at Tarrant before taking a look at the literature.]

Hi...so, did you make those hats yourself? They look really good...

[Hanna smiles weakly as he walks up the the booth.]

Hi...any luck so far? I got the posters up...they're subtle, promise.

[As if to prove his point, he hands Kanone one of the extra posters. They're similar to the banner on the booth, except they tell people who are interested to come to the club fair. Also, the little cat he's sketched on the bottom is in a karate outfit.]

...dya like them? I can go take them down and change them if you don't like how they look...

Nice work, Hanna. [And he pats him on the back, a little too roughly.] Not too over-the-top. It's nice to know there are people who can still follow directions!

[He picks up the stuffed cat and laughs.] We're still waiting for interesting people. Only special students can be part of this club, you know!

[Hanna smiles weakly and winces slightly as he gets smacked on the back. Of course, he's not going to tell Kanone that he's bruising from a recent run-in with bullies while hanging up the posters...]

I do my best...I'm glad you like them...I put them up all around where people who might be interested are...you know, the gym and places like that...

...I've got a few more copies in my locker if you think we need more up...

I think we're good for now. Don't wanna advertise ourselves too well.

I rather like our simplistic approach to self-promotion.

Okay, that's a good idea...I'll just save the extra posters until we need them later.

[He smiles weakly and shrugs.]

Um...Kanone...? Do you have any bandaids or neosporin or something...?

Miss Bell.

[Apathetic as she seemed, she was a model student- quiet, intelligent, made no trouble and did what was required of her. Which meant responding to teachers.]

It's quite satisfactory, thank you.

Bandaids? What for?

[He looks suspicious. Trouble this early on is not what he needs right now.]

[Wide-eyed and in awe, the Tianzi listened along to all of it, fingers laced before her. That sounded so neat... going out and all that...]

Is it really safe? Going out that long... ?

[Says the girl who's never been allowed outside her palace- and next, the city.]

Just got some cuts on my back, that's all...

[He smiles weakly, shrugging a bit. Yeah, he's not gonna say where he got those.]
