WHO: the enstars cast!
WHERE: a korean bbq restaurant in town
WHEN: the weekend of march 10th
WHAT: Meets over meat.
WARNINGS: sena's in here so honestly who knows

[ after the first message about korean barbecue, team Responsible Senpai have come together to host anyone with memories of yumenosaki academy for a lunch. the restaurant itself is cozy and cute, and there's a karaoke room in the back. with such a large group, nazuna reserved a table and a room in advance, then sent out the invitation to the chat at large.

nazuna himself is there at least a half an hour early, and is directing people back to a private room, where they have a big table set up around the grill. in his usual, overprepared manner, there's even a clothes rack in the back of the room, where two cute outfits are already hanging.

the karaoke room can be utilized for changing into idol clothes, or for actual karaoke! please eat your weight in meat and let's discuss about idol school hell ★

some prompts for your perusing: ]

A. EAT MEAT.

[ this is just self explanatory: there's a ton of barbecue to be eaten. it seems nazuna bought the first round, too, and drinks (of the non alcoholic variety) are flowing. help yourself! ]

B. CONNECT YOUR MEMORIES.

[ there's a big piece of sticky white paper hanging on the wall of the restauraunt. after nazuna asked a hundred times to make sure it's okay, he's hung it up and written "yumenosaki academy" at the top in bright blue letters. next to it is a cup of colorful markers.

the directions are just to write down anything you might remember about yumenosaki! feel free to do as much or as little as you'd like.

C. OUTFIT SWAP.

[ finally, the request about the outfits was made for a reason. the idea is that you can swap and try on different pieces of each other's outfits to try and trigger a memory! there are lots of things to try on... though some might be a little smaller than others.... ]

D. KARAOKE.

[ well we're idols right. go sing something. ]

E. WILDCARD.

[ do whatever you'd like!!!!! ]

[ nazuna definitely suffers from 'eyes bigger than his stomach' syndrome. how can you help it, when the barbecue smells amazing? there's something about cooking it yourself that makes things look even better! and, halfway through his pile of delicious, cooked meat, he's realized that... maybe he bit off a little more than he can chew. ]

Unyaaa... [ a sigh, heavy, as he leans back in his chair. then, abruptly, he changes his mind, reaches over with his chopsticks to pluck a piece of beef off of the grill and put it right on the plate of the person next to him. ] Here, eat, eat! A little extra protein never hurt anyone!~

[ next thing you know he's gonna start wiping sauce off of your face with his thumb... ]

[ nazuna's naturally social, and seems to be pretty open about his own yumenosaki memories. he's set up a big piece of white sticky paper on the wall of the private room, and he's got a pack of markers in his breast pocket. in his cute handwriting, there are a few phrases written: shu itsuki, mika kagehira, "magician/wizard", blonde mullet third year: flirty, "knights killers".

he taps his chin with the marker. ] I think that's everything... anything look familiar to you?

[ okay, everything on this rack is going to probably not be nazuna's size, but that doesn't stop him from trying. you can first find him there staring for a moment, his hands on his hips, as if he's assessing whatever other people brought....

and then, after a bit, you can find him reaching up to grab kuro's giant red akatsuki outfit and starting to at least try and put it on. he's stubborn, and it doesn't have that many parts, but he's drowning in it, the furry collar coming up at least to his nose, his other hand at least trying to get it on.

seriously. the sleeves make him look like a jiangshi. this is ridiculous. ]

WILDCARD.

[ get at me. ]

Isn't that way too big on you?

[ someone has to say it. sena's crossing his arms as he looks at all the outfits they've brought in so far. why is he even watching nazuna change wtf ]

a.

[ well, would you look at that - sena eating meat. he's really savoring it too... until he stops mid-chew to pointedly look at someone who's been staring at him chow down for a while now. ]

What? Spit it out, will you? It's rude to watch someone eat like this.

b.

[ right, okay. he's one of the two people who's been on the app the longest, so of course he'd have a lot of keywords to jot down on the paper. but since it'd be redundant to talk about knights already, he'll bring something else to the table.

keito hasumi -> idol war

oh yes, he's going there. ]

I know this is out of nowhere but... Before Keito disappeared from the app, he told me that he may or may not have something to do with the psychological warfare that happened at that school. [ nnnn it's still really tough for him to talk about this but he needs to deal...! ] I don't want to believe him, but if he really is responsible then he may at least have some accomplices at the time. Maybe it had something to do with his Robin Hood stint with Leo that Kasa-kun remembered.

If there's still anything you need cleared up, most particularly about this war thing since some of you may only heard of this just today, let me know.

[ and so he waits and braces himself. ]

c.

[ that little memory meeting was so fucking stessful, so maybe sena could chill tf out by trying on some clothes the others had brought. not sure if any of these fit him though so he's just going to stand back and stare if anything catches his interest. it's gonna take a while though, so maybe you should suggest something. he can pull it off, obviously.

if not, well... there's always that phantom thief outfit that he brought for today. it may be the most outlandish outfit in the collection so feel free to point that out. ]

wildcard

[ why the fuck am i the warning, ive done nothing wrong in my life.... hit me up anyway tho ]

B.

[ Mao's tied with Sena for tenure on the app but he doesn't want to be redundant if he can help it, so his keywords focus on things he thinks might be limited to his own memories: student council, basketball club: sentai guy and depressed guy, anzu?, and of course trickstar. He sets up a separate heading off to the side, though. and the header on that might surprise people:

Other Idol Schools? ]

I remembered something called an SS. It was a live where students from other schools would compete with each other, and I know Trickstar competed in one, but this is the first time I've remembered anything about other schools. Has anybody else remembered anything about this kind of stuff?

C.

[ As requested, Mao brought the only outfit he's gotten back and hung it up. He's especially curious about certain people's reactions, but in the meantime he's looking through what other people have brought to see if it sparks anything. ]

D.

[ If he's going to be in the musical--and he hasn't gotten any email yet but signs seemed to point that way when he left the audition--then Mao needs to get much more comfortable in front of audiences than he has been, so catch him trying to do just that with music that's a bit more pop-like than his usual fare. He's can't help being familiar with some of this boy band stuff, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't appreciate a hand up there... or feedback, if you really want to be the person who gives someone critique on their karaoke performance. ]

[ Mao can tell just by looking that the brown and red outfit is noooot going to fit him and he'd hate to damage somebody else's outfit--especially Nazuna's, who has been nothing but nice--but he's looking at it closely nonetheless. It sticks out a bit among the neons and metallics of the other outfits, after all. ]

Did you remember anything about this one? It seems really subdued for an idol outfit.

[ Mao was prepared to be a little uncertain of Sena after everything that happened but seeing him at the restaurant, he can't deny that he's relieved that Sena's all right. At least, mostly all right, since this carnivore side of him is one that Mao's rarely seen so something might be up. He's a bit embarrassed to be caught staring but what else was he supposed to do? ]

Hell changed you, huh?

[ NO ONE HAD TO SAY IT!!!!!!!

nazuna yelps, promptly dropping the shoulders of it--he's still wearing his clothes underneath--as it flops uselessly around his elbows, clearly meant for someone like three times his size. his entire face goes red, too, even. ]

Shut up!!! Maybe I mighta remembered shomeshing from shish! [ in his dreams the other nazuna is super tall... tall and handsome and dreamy ] It'd be big on ya too!!!!

Mm-mm... I got a mail ticket for it around Valentine's, though. Mizukichin and I thought it might have been for a fanservice show, or something.

[ at least with the colors... he reaches up for the hanger and pulls off the beret clipped neatly to the front of it, then holds it out for mao. ] Maybe you'll have better luck than me?

[ Ah, he's still one of the newest on the app... So he's looking over everyone's keywords carefully, frowning slightly as he adds his own.

Hajime-kun (blue hair, calls Nazuna niichan), Tori Himemiya (pink-hair, noble), Yuzuru Fushimi (dark hair, mole, butler), Starry Night Fest (Christmas Eve), DDD, B1, "Duel"

...even looking at Tori's name makes him scowl though, gosh. ]

He really is such a... [ ...........he's adding "(brat)" next to Tori's name too. ] There. That's certainly notable, right~?

[ OUTFIT SWAP... MAKES HIM NERVOUS... But he's brought his only two (minus the sword for ballet), along with a pair of gloves he got back recently... He's actually wearing those, flexing his fingers as he watches everyone look over costumes. This does seem like a pretty good way to trigger memories, at least...?

...He's also brought something that isn't an outfit, but it came from Retrospec anyway: a very cute blue knitted dinosaur. ]

[ Tsukasa Suzakura's very serious when he says he's not interested in singing karaoke. He's not that good of a singer—to the point where he's probably just getting a dancing part in the school musical, and that's perfectly fine with him!!—but... you know what.

He's here to. Cheer on people who do want to sing. With some maracas. Shake-shake...~ If anyone looks at him like they want him to join, he's just raising his instruments and laughing... ]

I really like watching people sing~? Um, I'm really okay over here... [ HE PROMISES. ]

[ Oh, Anzu...~ ]

Mmm, I don't know anything about an SS, or any other schools... But I think it makes sense there'd be other performing arts schools like that, right? [ A small head tilt. ] ...I guess it makes sense that Anzu would be familiar to other people too, since she was a "producer," so she must've worked with others aside from Knights and temporary units... But I'm still kind of surprised.

[ ...Was she an oneesama to anyone else too? Hmmm. ]

[ ...tsukasa has no room to judge, he too is eating his own weight in meat—

he's still looking away though, UM. Caught. ]

Ah, no... nothing... I just happened to look over, senpai...~? [ ah...ha....ha........... yep... definitely....... ]

[ "magician/wizard".............. ]

...Did we have those kinds of people there...? [ tapping it. ] Um, I mean... That sounds really fantasy-like? I mean, sure, Knights styles themselves after that antiquated notion, I guess, but...

[ like

magicians

wizards????????? ]

[ One of only two cute girls Mao apparently ever knew... ]

I guess but on the other hand how many idols does the world need? I'm guessing we weren't competing against ballet dancers or opera singers, that wouldn't really be fair. Or entertaining...

I think she worked with Trickstar a lot too. She was even there [ A pause--Tsukasa doesn't need to know the entire memory ] overnight for a rehearsal one time with Makoto and me.

Ahh, Japan has a big culture about idols, that's all... I'm sure it means something more over there than it does here.

[ As much as he kind of likes idols. Specifically like, Anya. Anyway. ]

She certainly seems very dedicated though... ♪ That's really admirable! I wonder if she's in Recollé too, and just hasn't gotten the app or anything... [ He's. sort of been thinking about this, off and on. About the people in their memories, if they're here but just not aware... ] Maybe she works at a shop or something, and we've talked dozens of times, and just never known.

[ if tsukasa's paying attention, he might notice nazuna looking a little dead in the eyes. magicians... ]

That was one of the first things I remembered. [ it shifts into a sheepish smile, though. ] There was a guy who pulled a prank on me and someone else, and the other kid said that he was some kind of 'masked freak', and apparently he turned the place into a room full of magic tricks....?

[ ... ] It was weird.

It must, I can't imagine even one idol school over here.

[ Mao enjoyed his little taste of idolhood but the idea of an entire school devoted to it is still strange even though it's very clear it was real. ]

I've only seen her once and at first I didn't even realize who she was. Do you think we'd recognize her if we saw her here? I know Keito when I see him now but I knew him before the app too so it's not really the same even though he's off it now... we could try looking for her.

[ niichan... nazuna's heart is immediately warm. he draws a little heart next to it with his marker, then teasingly leans back to elbow tsukasa in the arm. ]

Kasachin, it's no fair you get memories about me before I do. I wish I had something to trade you... ~

[ nazuna...... ]

...It sounds very... [ ......................... ] Interesting?

[ that's

a word for it, tsukasa. sure. a word for it indeed. ]

I thought magicians were supposed to be helpful though... Um, the ones causing trouble are usually... Sorcerers or something like that, right?

[ ah—!! ]

You did enough with Knight Killers, honestly. [ ...he means that very earnestly, actually. it isn't said meanly at all. ] Um... There's been a weird blank in a handful of my memories, but when you mentioned them, it sort of cleared up...

[ it's nice. as soon as i get around to submitting for a handful of other namedrops THANKS MEMORY SHARING BOARD it'll get even nicer ]

I wish I knew more about him though. He seems very cute. [ ♪ ] I think he might be a first year like me...? He didn't seem like a third year, anyway, and he was part of that Starry Night Festival thing that only had third- and first- years...

Oneesama's very pretty, but she's also sort of ordinary, isn't she? [ Like an otome game protagonist... ] So... maybe not? It's not like I recognized Sena-senpai when I was off the app either, honestly...

[ ... ]

Um, I didn't recognize him on it either. [ . . . ] I don't look at magazines that much, so I was really surprised to hear he was a model.

[ niichan has good ideas sometimes ~

he laughs a little, smile sheepish. ] Apparently I did do enough... but I'm glad I was able to help~!

[ still. nazuna taps his chin with his marker, thoughtfully. a first year... ] I wonder why I was interacting with a first year. It seems like I was in a lot of different things...

[ yeah. shock of the century. he smiles anyway, though, kind of pleased. ] What about the others?

[ interesting is definitely a word for it... ]

I think I've given up trying to think of anything in this place as "normal".

That's fair. It was a pretty [ don't use that word again ] um... unique place...?

[ ...he tried. ]

I wonder if all idol schools are like that though, or if Yumenosaki is just the exception.

[ wow, nazuna having his finger in every pie. much surprise, such shock. ]

Tori's... [ ....... ] I feel like he and Suou would count as childhood friends, because they're the same age and same wealth bracket, but they don't get along at all. Tori-kun's new money, and the Suou family is an old military family... I don't really get that kind of classism, but it seems like it's really important to the both of them?

[ RICH PEOPLE. ]

Yuzuru is my— Suou's— senpai in archery club. He's also the Himemiya family butler, though Suou's tried asking him to come to his household before and got rejected... He's quite skilled with the bow, even though he's just a beginner. He's very calm and charming, but with a lot of repressed anger at Tori-kun's antics... Ah, apparently Tori-kun plays tennis, or something like that? Suou saw him carrying a racket and informed Fushimi-senpai of that when he was looking for him.

While everyone is eating their weight in food at the moment, Kuro... Kuro is twice of most of the people that are attending this little gathering, and so that means twice as much weight to eat. He's not scarfing it down like he's starving, at least, and has some amazing table manners for someone that looks so intimidating like him.

... but any time someone looks at him while they're all seated, he is 100% eating something. In fact, it almost seems like he doesn't stop eating the entire time they're at the table and within reach of food.

He's also the oldest person here, and while it may be a little odd to anyone else that's in that position, Kuro definitely has ordered a beer or two when Nazuna wasn't looking.

... but he's also going to dish out more food for you if he notices anyone looking at him funny. Watch out.

Not having as much to add as everyone else, considering, Kuro only lists a few things. "Barking grey-haired guy - Oogami," "Keito Hasumi," and a few notes about the memories that he has gotten are listed down.

He's carefully assessing everything that everybody's written already, arms crossed, focused and thoughtful, like he's thinking maybe he'll get something from it.

Tell him to move if necessary.

The reluctance with which he hangs up the outfits that have come in is... impressive.

But there's two in particular, and he's taken to labeling both of their hangers just to maybe help out with the process - Akatsuki and Azure Dragon. No, there isn't a shirt to go with the latter, so hopefully if anyone tries these outfits on they won't try the blue one on without their own shirt...

Kuro, once he gets those hung up for the others to puruse, is investigating the other outfits that've been hung up. He can't try any of them on, personally, but he can look at the craftsmanship and see if anything in particular catches his attention.

D/E.

Wildcard! ... Kuro is tone deaf as hell, so you will not catch him singing. Enjoy him just sitting back and listening to everyone else that winds up doing it.
