Torn Paper || Yua || Chapter Two || Body Reaction

Things were happening a bit too fast for Yua to keep up with. Truth or Dare had won? Hm. Yua didn’t know what that was, but it sounded a bit… intimidating. The origami artist didn’t know what to expect. She had never done it before. But, if everyone else voted for it, then she supposed she would do it.

As she left her room, she had an uneasy feeling. But, that wasn’t too unusual for Yua. So, she would have been able to shake it off… But the screaming of some other students only cemented her fears. Shakily, she made her way to see what was happening, weakly struggling against the taller students… 

Only to find the dead body of Suzaku Fujiki.

The tears came before Yua could think. Tears pouring out of her eyes, streaming down her face as she looked upon the scene in front of her. Why? Why? W͢͠͞h̸̡̧y̢ ̨́̕wa͢s̀ ͢şo͡҉meon̸̡̨e̡̢̡ ͘҉d̸́e̡ad̕?̷̡̀ Yua backed into the nearest wall, and dropped to the floor, and curled into a ball, clutching her knees to her chest. W̶͢h̵̸̡͞y̷͟?̨͠͞

Nice to know that Truth or Dare won. Always a fun game to play with other teenagers. Eri woke up to a commotion outside of her room.... It was too early for this noise, she got up from her spot and went to check out the source of the commotion. It was coming from one of the dorms. 

“What is going on-” Eri moved past some of the other students and soon learned what was wrong. Suzaku was dead, Eri had spoken to him once before... He wasn’t bad.

She looked away and noticed Yua curled up in a ball. “Come on, this isn’t the place for you”

Winter | Poem Reading Thread | Chapter 2 Open

[bubblegumreign-blog]

“Right” The word was drawn out as Eri didn’t fully believe his words. “Whatever you say” She sat back a bit and put her feet on the table, Monika would probably hate that really. “The world isn’t good, it’s tough, mean and will beat you down again and again. Eri’s offering her unneeded words on his poem, how thoughtful. “Was that poem based on an event in your life?”

Poem Performance! || Hitomi || Chapter 2 Open

[bubblegumreign-blog]

“Well, it wasn’t a happy poem, those are over done so I’ll give you that” Eri sighed. She might as well perform her poem to the class out loud, the quicker the better. She stood up and walked to the front and began reading. 

“A young child waits on the bench, kicking their legs in worry. The cold pricks their skin and leaves them to shiver, nothing they have can shield them from the elements for the time being. The harsh words of family soon reach earshot, all they can do is do what is asked of to avoid harsh punishments. They long to escape reality through dreams but reality soon scars the dreams and renders them useless. The only means for survival is having a heart as tough as ice.” 

Eri frowned after reading. “And that’s my dumb poem”

The first person to read their poem was Hitomi. Eri sat at her desk and listened to them quietly. It had an interesting title and tone to it, like something from Romeo and Juliet. 

Hitomi looked around like she wanted to be praised for her writing, Eri simply extended her arm and gave a quiet thumbs up. How supportive. 

Eri-san praised her…!

This is the greatest compliment!! This is more than Hitomi could have ever asked for. Eri-san of all people. She didn’t know this was even possible. She’s tearing up.

T-Thank you…

She sits down flushed with pride and scoots over slightly closer to Eri’s seat. Oh god. She thinks they’re friends now, doesn’t she? Oh no.

[bubblegumreign-blog]

Well that certainly didn’t end up like Eri expected. Though she didn’t really know how people would react to a slight show of a compliment. When Hitomi moved a bit closer to Eri’s seat, she stood up. 

“It was just a thumbs up and yet you’re acting like it was mad applause, what’s up with that?”

Poem Performance! || Hitomi || Chapter 2 Open

((TW: Suicide))

Hitomi’s been practicing this! She stands with her back straight and head held up high.

Um! Yes! This is my poem, and the title is… “Dark Reminiscence.”

Oh boy, that’s a promising title full of edge. She clears her throat.

Those two’s love-lorn deuxicide Their valiant hearts were crucified Lives ended Unmended Left unmourned Never reborn Why? Sigh. This scratching scar’s finality Shall we escape reality?

No stuttering and perfect enunciation. Pretty surprising from someone so shy. She looks proud of herself and her eyes swim across the room, seeking validation. Are you proud of her? Her and her poem about lover’s suicide?

Winter | Poem Reading Thread | Chapter 2 Open

Travanis’ leg kept bouncing in his chair as he held his notebook tightly, knuckles becoming paler as he held tightly to it. He had felt so confident about writing that poem no more than a day ago, but suddenly he was freezing up. Would they be able to tell? Even he wasn’t 100% sure if he was able to accept what the poem had helped him realize. Well it wasn’t just the poem.. THANKS BETH.

Regardless, he reluctantly stood when it was his chance and mussed with his hair a bit. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he prepared to read.

“Uh this is my poem, it’s called “Winter” and I hope that you guys like it.”

He gulped a bit, trying not to focus on the staring of his fellow classmates. After a clearing of his throat he began to read.

“The winter around me is colder than the tundra I fear the cold outside I fear the stares of judgement For the feelings in my heart Here I am looking through the window The reality outside scares me I am afraid to accept the motions of my world But I can hope that the world is good Accepting of the inner machinations of my heart And that my feelings will have prevailed against the harshness outside But for now I stay inside While the icy winds whip outside”

After he read he quickly bowed and rushed back to his seat. He was actually AFRAID of the responses his classmates might have. So what do you all think?

[bubblegumreign-blog]

The next one to read their poem was Travanis, Eri again listened silently. The title was a bit more forward... Given a name like ‘Winter’ The words seemed deep. After he was done reading, he rushed back to his seat. Eri didn’t stay quiet though.

“Man you rushed to sit down after that. You afraid or something?” Back to blunt remarks.

eenie meenie miney....mouu || Kouta || Chapter 1 [Club Event Open]

It’s a little awkward, isn’t it? Everyone has so much to offer, it’s hard to say who he would vote for when it came down to it. Was there any way to narrow things down? Maybe getting to know some of his clubmates a little better would help… 

He hadn’t even gotten to know his roommates very well yet, after all. The only people he’d spent a lot of time with so far were Box-chan and Junpei… It’s high time he’d made friends with his clubmates!

With the thought of meeting new people branded in his heart, he approached no one in particular. He tried not to be too awkward in his approach–but this is Kouta, so he failed. Nervous face hidden behind a curtain of unruly hair, he tries to brush some aside before speaking. Ah, this is embarrassing, he really needs to do something about his hair now that he’ll be out and about in club meetings and such…

“Uhm, sorry, were you planning to run for something?”

[bubblegumreign-blog]

Eri was hanging up the second dumb sign when someone approached her, asking if she was running for anything. She hit the campaign sign quickly. “Treasurer, but I doubt I’ll win, the fact I’m even is trying is a mistake in it’s own” Doubt anyone would want such a pessimistic girl in charge of the money. The urge to tear down the sign slowly crept over her, ignoring it she faced him. 

“Your hair’s really long” Eri stared at him.

Death Spiral || Eri Open

So the president needed helpers... Eri normally would have shrugged it off but the role of treasurer seemed interesting. But She would need to make a effort or something to get votes. Grabbing a few plain pieces of paper, Eri began making signs, the top being decorated with the colour purple to gain a bit of attention. While the colour was pretty, the sign was lacking. 

Vote Eri for treasurer 

Probably wasn’t the best slogan, nor would she win the position. Signs in hand, Eri started taping them on a few walls, wondering to herself why she was even trying.

Demonstrating Distracting Dreams | Suzu | Chapter One: Abnormal Days | [OPEN]

[bubblegumreign-blog]

“Yeah, It’s a little too predictable, try something somber next time” Eri’s not sugar coating her words, just flat out saying whatever pops into her mind. She glanced down at the poem on her desk. “Yeah sure, it’s short and.... Something” Sweet wasn’t the word, but she held out the paper for Suzu to read.

The purple moon above the lonely child, the sound of water rushing nearby created a small sense of nature's peace. The butterflies failed them yet again, a sense of success eluded them just like always. Hope is fleeting.

It was definitely short like Eri said, not much content written, maybe next time will be much better. 

[suzussleepysnakes]

Demonstrating Distracting Dreams | Suzu | Chapter One: Abnormal Days | [OPEN]

Looking back on her poem, she couldn’t believe how much she had focused on her talent first.  While she indeed adored the concept of hypnotism, was it really worth doing as a first poem to present?  People who didn’t interact with her will possibly think that she’s some sort of freak, who would absolutely love to take control of other people’s minds.  Did this change how she thought her writing was?  Not at all; she could admit that there was decency within her writing.

The simple concept of relaxation Begins with water flowing down the stream. It may take a bit of imagination, For relaxation can also start with a daydream. Gentle flutters of the monarch butterfly Are felt in the nature that surrounds you. Soon, you are able to open the mind’s eye, And your calamity will have only grew. Beautiful images flow through your mind; Ones that can adequately pull you in Will give you peace, and in kind Might make that head of yours spin. However, you somehow don’t become faint. That’s because you’ll soon snap back into reality, And you’ll find you don’t have a single complaint, For your success with rest will have truly set you free.

However, that was for others to judge, was it not?  After all, it was a club activity, even though it felt more like a club assignment than anything else.  Some diverse characters (good and bad) had poems that either pleased the hypnotherapis, or some that, well…

No time to think about that now.  Suzu was rereading over her poem, over and over, so she can learn what to improve on next time.  Maybe someone would give her critiques…?  

After all, improvement came from constructive criticism.

[bubblegumreign-blog]

Why did so many of these poems have the word butterfly in it? Eri’s poem had the word in it.... So she couldn’t really complain but still. “Not bad, talent related but maybe break out of your comfort zone, write something uh..... Whatever’s not in your comfort zone exactly roomie” An odd pointer, not that Eri was even helpful in the first place. “But writing’s not my strong point so” She shrugged. “That’s all I got” Nice talk. 

Meanwhile Eri’s poem remained on her desk, folded and unread to the class.

Time to explore | OPEN

In need of a place to relax, Jérémie went to the lounge first. He had come here to look around before, right after getting permission to explore. And while he did explore, he wanted to look back in on his own.

Rather than sit down and take a nap like he’d normally do, Jérémie approached the foosball table first. He twisted some of the sticks to spin the small players around, when he noticed someone else enter.

“Hey,” he said. “Wanna play?”

[bubblegumreign-blog]

Oh right, the kid Eri accidentally tripped.... Maybe. She glanced at the foosball table, not her game of choice.. Not that she had one.

“Kay”

She headed over to the empty side of the table and spun one of the sticks, watching the line of players spin upside down.

Triple Lutz || Eri || Chapter 1 open

[bubblegumreign-blog]

Eri looked back at the closed freezer, then down at the items she carried. “No” She placed the frozen meats on the counter, maybe they could used for a group dinner or something? Who knows. But who was the newcomer? Eri looked on her ID for info.

“Arisa huh, the hell’s a tracker do exactly?” It either meant they tracked people or ran track.

Triple Lutz || Eri || Chapter 1 open

Absolutely nothing wrong with spending time in the kitchen, absolutely nothing. However Eri stands in front of the freezer trying to shove her blanket into the small space. It took a bit of effort.... And throwing frozen food onto the floor but eventually she was able to shut the freezer door.

“About damn time” She muttered to herself and gathered up the scattered food, trying to locate somewhere to put it.

Salchow || Eri open || Prologue

[bubblegumreign-blog]

Eri was halfway done turning the page when someone tripped over her feet, the action caused her to stop reading and bring her book down slightly to stare at the person lying on the floor. She moved her feet near her chair, maybe he didn’t notice what he tripped over?

“The floor is slippery isn’t it?” Eri wasn’t going to offer a helping hand to him.

[bubblegumreign-blog]

Salchow || Eri open || Prologue

A little bit had passed since waking up in this classroom surrounded by other kids and Eri had explored the room and was now sitting at her desk, reading one of the two books she had taken. The one about urban legends seemed a tad more interesting at the moment. “Yeah, like that really happens to people, why not just steal their money instead of the kidney” She turned the pages to get to a different legend. 

In the midst of reading, Eri moved her legs out into the aisle. If someone wasn’t careful they could trip or scold her for that.

She kept working on her braid. “If no one helps us, then no one helps us.Yeah, I know that’s dark but I stopped caring about stuff years ago” Eri held the end of her braid with one hand and put the small band around it. “Fear is dumb, holds you back. Just repress it and things become easier” 

[iamboxchan-deactivated20180802]

   “…I can’t do that…” her voice is so hushed and low, its barely audible. And no, she wasn’t going to be like this girl.

   Careless. Flippant. Reading books and styling her hair, accepting fate.

   That wasn’t who Box-chan was.

   Though still incredibly awkward, she gets up from her seat and begins to head in the other direction.

   “…you…do you….Eri-chan…you do you…”

[bubblegumreign-blog]

Yeah. Eri said nothing as Box-chan left and turned back around in her seat to read the book she had.
