your shoujo is beginning!

[shirimasen]

[Ah, high school.

A truly wonderful and inspiring time for all. With the school year starting, faceless students mingling about and chatting -- catching up over their summer, or grabbing their friends to congratulate them on getting into the world's top Pokémon Trainer's School -- with the cherry blossoms spinning in the wind from the rows of them lining the school's beautiful golden gates...

Yes, there's truly nothing better!

Except for perhaps the middle school just beside this beautiful campus; there's a small lake between them where the grades intermingle, and the excitement of the day - and maybe even the bell ringing to signify classes, lunch, or break! - is vibrantly in the air!

Just be careful that the principal doesn't see you with your Pokémon out! That would distract the other students, after all...]

[ooc: welcome to the high school au room! also middle school, if your character's not quite aged enough. with uniforms, cheery blossoms, and the exciting promise of an excellent spring for all classes and grades, it's sure to be a blast!

please mingle and thread amongst yourselves, and have a great time! if it's school au, it's free to go!]

[Ah, such a beautiful day...

The sun is shining gently through the cherry-- cherry--]

Achoo! Oh, shoot, really?! [Ugh! No one's gonna wanna date a snotty girl! Those aren't cute! Unless she manages to pull it off in a cute way, but it's too late for that now!

She sighs, riding on her Megnanium's back towards the gates of the school, and hopes no one saw her sneeze--]

Ah-choo! Ah-choo! I'm never going to get a boyfriend like this!

~School Festival~

[shirimasen]

[And why not! Maybe it's later in the year, but this festival's really not something to sneeze at! What clubs are you visiting -- which class has your favorite attraction?]

[releaf]

[IT IS HARD, BEING NEW TO A MIDDLE SCHOOL AND ALSO BEING VERY SHY

IT IS HARD AND NO ONE SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND.

Especially when you're as shy and as unsure as Leaf is. She'll just be... hanging around her classroom door, twiddling her thumbs and trying to see if anyone she knows comes in...

Of course, even if you don't know her, you might as well try and make conversation! She is kind of in the way, after all.]

[willpowered]

[Guess who's setting up a stage after-school in front of the lake?

That's right. This guy. There's a sign nearby that mentions something about an amazing comedy duo that'll be performing, but...

It's just him, and putting together a stage is hard work. This middle schooler wouldn't mind a hand. Or company.]

[blazingcombat]

[You know what this post needs? Some loser practically flying in on a bike and crashing into things.

Like a trash can. What kind of loser crashes into and subsequently gets stuck in a trash can? This kind right here. He could probably use some help.

Or should you just leave him alone...?]

[championfire]

{ Man who cares about class? It's way too nice to be inside. Nice spring sun, cherry blossoms in full bloom. What more could a guy ask for? Red and Pikachu will be hanging out around the lake, cutting class and just relaxing skipping stones along the lake.}

[extricated]

[ kyaa notice me senpai --

said nobody to him, ever. in fact, he's too busy noticing his underclassmen during free periods and lunchtime, attempting to forcibly draft them into the club he is president (and probably the lone member of), the beautiful mathematics club!! he is amazingly persistent in attempting to get people to join, and also very... enthusiastic. one might find eating their delicious homemade sandwich in peace rather difficult. ]

[championish]

It's so warm! [Guess who's totally skipping out on lunch in the classroom to have lunch on the roof??

This girl.]

It'd be better if I had some company, I guess, but... [...she didn't really have many friends here yet. Just a few. Hufff.] I can't let that get me down!

[It's too hot outside to be sad over not having friends!]

[heroineoftruth]

[A piece of toast in her mouth -- almost being late to school --

the school's resident shounen protag has arrived! Watch her dart through the morning crowd and --

oops did she just crash into you sorry but she really needs to go --]

Sorry, sorry! [Somewhat muffled and totally ruined by her frantic looks. And her breakfast in her mouth. But that uniform... She'll quickly rip the toast out and chew on it instead of just holding it there.] You go to the same school as me, right?

~Shameless Rooftop Confessions~

[shirimasen]

[You were told by someone to meet them on the rooftop after school. Now that you're here, you're not sure what to do...

But as soon as you see the person you're supposed to meet, you feel like you need to-- to do something! To confess your love! It doesn't matter if you hated them ten seconds ago, right now the atmosphere is perfect - with the wind blowing softly, the sun setting behind you and reflecting perfectly off of your partner's face...

It's that time!

Or maybe your partner will confess first, stealing your spotlight?! Whatever it is, the school's roof is awfully strange today!]

* School Trip *

[wakarimasen]

[Wow, look at the sights! Smell the air! While the room itself is supposedly a school, there's plenty of room for their very own fake school trip to an area that looks suspiciously like Ecruteak City!

The Aluminum Tower stands strong as the tallest building around, barren trees marking the Windchime Path; the Torched Tower beside it is unfortunately under repair (what a place that'd be to bring your friends to scare!); the Yukata Girls dance gracefully in traditional Rakugo Theater form as they tell the stories of old... through comedy! The only difference is, there doesn't seem to be a Gym. Instead, that's the old and luxurious hotel the students and facility will be staying in!

Please, enjoy the old spirit of the city they go to every year!]
