Hello, Daybreak Academy. I couldn't help but notice that more extracurricular organizations are popping up, and I wanted to do a little survey, if you will: Would anyone be interested in joining a literature club? Perhaps one with bi-weekly readings, meetings, and discussions about all sorts of texts, both fiction and non-fiction? I suppose having free food at every meeting would also be enticing, wouldn't it? :)

Please do let me know if you are interested in such a thing. I will see to starting one up if it seems like there's a need for a club like this on campus.


lumiere dorms.
[ in lumiere's dormitory, the smell of something savory fills the first floor. it smells warm and enticing, and moving closer to the kitchen will reveal that this is the smell of curry.

and it certainly smells spicy.

anastasia is over by the stove, using a ladle to lightly stir the pot of curry. there's also a sign on the counter next to her that reads: "Hello, I made too much curry for dinner tonight, so please help yourself. - Ana" when she sees someone come over, ana will turn her head and smile delightfully at the newcomer.
]

Hello! Have you come to try some of this? It's a little spicy, mind you, but I assure you it's edible and hopefully delicious, even.

[ well that's sure promising, isn't it? ]

soleil: costume shopping.
[ later in the month, ana can be found in soleil's commerce plaza, sifting through a rack of halloween costumes. there's a variety of them, but nothing out of the ordinary, which ana quite frankly finds disappointing. ]

I thought the point of dressing up for Halloween was to look scary...

[ it's clear that none of these costumes are to her liking. help her look for something? or convince her that maybe one of these costumes might suit her? ]

wildcard.
[ hit me up with anything. if you want to plot something specifically, feel free to ping me at [plurk.com profile] amplitude or coco#6616 on discord. ]

let's say hypothetically someone could be down with that
how participatory would that someone have to be because frankly I can read just fine not being in a club

[He feels vaguely threatened by that smiley face...]

sure I'm dying to have other people read the mystery of the exploding teeth and other curiosities from the history of medicine
here's a preview: ass fireworks and dick padlocks
people are fucking WILD

[personal profile] deuteranope 2019-10-26 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
see that's the problem and why this club thing might be an alright idea as far as social ideas go
read the mystery of the exploding teeth etc etc start of last semester
nowadays I dunno what to read because I can't find this fucking historical vampire battle book florida woman talked about or some ye olde radiance technique manual

I could (hypothetically) do that
could also (hypothetically) bring my copy so someone else (a hypothetical someone natch) could read it themself

[personal profile] deuteranope 2019-10-27 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
well sure it's free fucking food whether it's hypothetical or not
long as it isn't all sweet crap anyway

and proper introductions are pretty damn overrated tbh

[Though she's now roomed on the fourth floor rather than the second—having moved into Lia's room around a week ago—the smell is still enough to lure Becky all the way back down to the lower floors.     ...Actually, she was already just on her way down the stairs and planning to head outside when she noticed someone was at the kitchen—and then came over after recognizing who it was.]

Hey, Ana.

[Though it's not her favorite thing, Becky certainly does like SPICY stuff, so this is actually kind of tempting.]

Just so I know what I'm getting into here, how spicy is 'a little spicy'?
lifeforced: (support)

[personal profile] lifeforced 2019-10-26 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[As she gets closer, she can tell: this is actually pretty strong. Strong enough that anyone unprepared for it might just make themselves sick.

But, Becky is largely incapable of being sick herself, so the worst-case scenario with her would likely be just some moments of extreme discomfort, and it's really not so bad if she expects it.]


Nah, let's just go for it.
lifeforced: (EW??)

1/2

[personal profile] lifeforced 2019-10-27 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Cheers. [And then she just goes for it.

While it's a bit more SPICY than anticipated, Becky tries to keep her reaction fairly subdued. That doesn't stop her from reacting at all, as she still briefly makes one heck of a face on the first bite (she tried. she didn't succeed.), but then she just keeps at it because it's fine; this isn't the hottest thing she's ever had.]
lifeforced: (laugh)

2/2

[personal profile] lifeforced 2019-10-27 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Partway through it, she needs to take a quick break. Not for a drink, not yet, but to just... not go through her bowl so fast.]

Hoo, this is a bit more than I was expecting. I like it.
lifeforced: (encourage (1))

[personal profile] lifeforced 2019-10-27 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Well, seems like you got it down pretty good already. [Part of that might be Becky's like of SPICY talking, so people with a lower tolerance might disagree a little, but hey, anybody calling it a success still makes it a success, right?]

What other sorts of stuff have you done before?

[Sarona has been looking for a costume of her own, but she's not as focused on horror herself.]

The purpose is blending in. Keep the monsters and spirits out to carry off the children from taking them away by making them think they are one of their own.

[She leans on a nearby table.]

So what are you trying to blend in with?
inkedspell: (032)

[personal profile] inkedspell 2019-10-30 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
Then you're in luck, because looking dead isn't that difficult. [And then she gives a wink.] Now if you're going for some kind of transparency or intangibility, then that'd take some work.

[She moves around the costume racks toward the isle of make up and cosmetic props.] Over this way.
inkedspell: (006)

[personal profile] inkedspell 2019-10-31 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sarona sees her come to a stop, looking at the costume and lets out a little bit of a laugh.]

Are you trying to blend in or stand out? Not judging, just asking. That outfit is the stand out variety. Elegant, but erotic.
inkedspell: (021)

[personal profile] inkedspell 2019-11-02 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Elegant but erotic is like a third of the costumes they make for woman anyway. Another third is the porn ones. You're good.

[She looks it over.] You might need some good heels for that one, since the tail is so long. Don't want to trip over it.

[Says the girl who is almost six feet tall and shouldn't ever wear high-heeled shoes, but she does what she wants.]
inkedspell: (017)

[personal profile] inkedspell 2019-11-07 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe alter it a bit to make the fins spread to the outside of your legs. Won't give you too much more room, but at least a bit more.

[She gives a little wink.] I've never worn something that tight myself, but cute girls in cute costumes can never go wrong.
inkedspell: (002)

[personal profile] inkedspell 2019-11-12 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh please. You're an attractive girl looking at an outfit that it going to make you look amazing. Have some confidence.

[If there's one thing Sarona can't stand, it's girls who put down their own looks.]

And I don't see why you wouldn't have seen me around before. I'm all over the campus most of the day. You live in Lumière, right? I live in Aube.

Anastasia? A beautiful name for a beautiful young woman. [She smiles, extending her hand for Ana to shake.] Sarona. Friends call me Sari.

I'd most certainly be interested, but I have a feeling you knew that already.

[HELL YES.]

I'm in, if you do. I kind of wanted once since all the others started, I just didn't think I'd really be up to founding it myself.
hawkwardness: (gaze)

[personal profile] hawkwardness 2019-10-28 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds good. Mostly I like to read sci-fi, but I haven't had the chance to read much. Until now. I've only been here a few months.
hawkwardness: (strong wings!)

[personal profile] hawkwardness 2019-10-28 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Outer space stuff. Aliens and spaceships and exploring other planets, those kinds of books. And maybe time travel too. I think it's pretty cool.

A literature club...

I suppose I would be interested if you're going between both types like that. I don't think we had one at my old school...
