Education for Free (General School Log, all) (OPEN LOG)

[stringmods]

Who: Anyone who wants to go to school
Where: Any of the schools found in the Calendar (there are other schools, but your characters would only be going to those)
Summary: General School log! Start your own threads, make threads, or just have your character going to school and meeting the others. You have carte blanche.
Warnings: Nothing for now.

April 1st. While for many it would be a day for jokes and pranks, in Japan (and by extension, Hinoto-Ri who clung on some things from the past like precious memories), it was the start of the school year.

Those that were of age had gotten their papers already, and hopefully you had read the messages involving it. Otherwise, SURPRISE!

Thankfully, it didn't seem like the government was pushing for you to go absolutely, but they were STRONGLY SUGGESTING it for your own good. Your own enlightenment, if you will. Besides, it was free education, why pass that up?

These are the adventures of those inside of school on their first days...

If you are a Visitor, they might let you in even if you don't have all of your information. With everyone coming from different worlds and times, I doubt everybody has all of the usual data they use when enrolling people. Your case probably isn't all that unusual.

[aurathread]

Probably. I... what if the other kids are really terrible, though?

[He just... wants to be safe. He has to be.]

[eyewillprotect]

Terrible...?

[She has a bad feeling about this. Her expression becomes serious, concerned; she's seen the effects of bullying, the horrible things students can inflict upon one another and, in turn, the horrible things the abused can be driven to.]

I haven't had any trouble with the students here, but... if something does happen, you can always go to the faculty. And...

If that doesn't work, you can come to me as well. I may not be a part of the student council or anything, but I cannot tolerate the mistreatment of my fellow peers.

[aurathread]

What if the faculty don't listen? What if you don't listen?

[He's terrified about being hurt again. He doesn't want anyone to bully him, but they probably won't let him keep his staff in school. He won't be able to defend himself.]

[eyewillprotect]

I will listen.

[Her voice softens:]

I have seen people hurt by bullying before. At the time, I... I had no idea what was going on. If I did, maybe I could have helped him, and none of that would have happened...

[Sagaya wouldn't have needed to suffer through all of that.]

I won't let that happen again. Not if I can do anything to stop it.

[aurathread]

... Mm.

[Well that makes him feel... a little better.]

I don't know what year I'd be.

[eyewillprotect]

[She gives a soft, encouraging smile.]

They can probably give you a placement test to determine which year.

[aurathread]

... Mm. Will then let me in, since it's already started?

[eyewillprotect]

I don't see why they wouldn't. It would probably be treated as something similar to a transfer.

[aurathread]

Oh... okay. Where... do I go?

[He might as well get this over with.]

[eyewillprotect]

If you follow me, I can take you to the registration office.

[She begins walking into the school, but slowly enough that Tsukasa will have time to follow.]

[aurathread]

[It's a good thing she's walking slowly, because Tsukasa is more shuffling than walking. He does follow her, though, all the way to the office. He does his best to ignore a few of the students that are staring at him.]

[eyewillprotect]

[She gives friendly nods to the other students. Nothing strange here, after all!

And sure enough, they eventually reach the office.]

Here it is. Do you want me to come in with you, or do you think you can handle it on your own?

[aurathread]

I... maybe? I don't know. I'll... try to talk to them...

[And not just wimp out. He can do this. He has to do this.]

[eyewillprotect]

Okay, I'll leave you to it then. If you need help, you can just contact me through the network. My name is Aoi Misato, so don't hesitate to give a call, alright?

[aurathread]

... Tsukasa.

[eyewillprotect]

Tsukasa... It's very nice to meet you. Hopefully we'll see each other around the halls from now on?
