We are the named and we are known

Who: All Draftees
What: Arriving at the dorms
When: 26th
Where: Dorms, location unknown
Summary: Dorm information is here. This is your room!
Rating: PG... we hope?

Your characters are shuffling off to their rooms. Each room has their name beside it and only they can open the door. People can only enter their room if they're allowed in (or they leave the door open). Characters will find any requested items in their room already. If they have a requested vehicle, there will be another door in their room that will take them to the hangar to inspect their equipment.

((Mod note: Extra draftees won't experience their Shift Incompatibility handicap in their dorms. :|a))

Did you have arcade places? And ice-cream stores? You know, those places where there's mostly if not only ice-cream of any type and flavor you can think of!

[emp3thy]

[he nods.]

Arcades and karaoke... There's a sweets shop my friend Bebe liked. [and most girls.]

[breaks_destiny]

Niice, did you ever go to the arcades? Or the karaoke? How was it?

[Keiichi never got to go to places like those when he lived in the city, cram school didn't leave him enough time or friends for it. And Hinamizawa was too small, not even Okinomiya had those places. The closest was Mion's uncle games store, but most were board games and there was rarely people playing there like that unless it was a competition organized by the store.]

[emp3thy]

Sometimes in the evening, or after school when I didn't have clubs. It was fun.

[It was busy then. A lot different from Luceti, when most of the day is empty.]

[breaks_destiny]

Were there many games in the arcades? What type?

[emp3thy]

Quiz games, fighting games, horror games... all the usual kids. [he's looking a bit quizzically at you now though. Weren't arcades big in the 80s? Or maybe Keiichi is too early for that.] Have you been to one before?

[breaks_destiny]

Ah... Actually I never had time for that when I lived in the city. And Hinamizawa had none of them, the closest thing was Mion's uncle's games store but it was just board games and people didn't go there often to play there. Most people just went to buy what they wanted.

[Didn't he already tell you that he had never gone around and play all day with a friend? Or you assumed he only meant on a free day?]

[emp3thy]

I see... [yes, Keiichi, he assumed you had some kind of social life even if it was very infrequent.]

[breaks_destiny]

[Social life? He didn't know what that was until he moved to Hinamizawa.]

What else did you do? What clubs were you in?

[emp3thy]

Besides track and Student Council, the Photography Club and Fashion Club.

[...yes, Fashion Club. Feel free to question that one.]

[breaks_destiny]

And what did you do on those? What does a Fashion Club do exactly?

[Fashion Club sounds strange, but he's a bit too much into getting to know what's a normal teen life at the city to stop to wonder about that.]

[emp3thy]

Well, that's what Bebe called it. He liked sewing, so he used the school machines and I helped sometimes.

[breaks_destiny]

Oh, so you made clothes? That's useful. Did you travel around for the Photography Club? Or stayed on the city? Did you go around with the other club members to take pictures or something?

[Definitively, this sounds more and more as if Keiichi has never had any kind of social life before Hinamizawa. His eager to learn tone doesn't help.]

[emp3thy]

Sometimes we walked around, or practiced technique on still lifes.

[Yeah Keiichi... that's a little sad you know. He was much less socially involved before Port Island, but even then he'd had clubs and school friends he'd hang out with occasionally.]

[breaks_destiny]

[He knows how sad it is. He knows how much he hated it. Keiichi smiles, satisfied.]

Sounds fun. Hmm...

[What else could he ask? He's thinking, if you want to throw in a question yourself now may be the moment.]

[emp3thy]

[he's trying to think of something]

So you lived in Tokyo before Hinamizawa?

[breaks_destiny]

[Oh, questions for him? Keiichi stops thinking and nods.]

Yeah, I only moved to Hinamizawa little over a month before being brought here. It was a bit sudden of a change, from Tokyo to a village like Hinamizawa, there are other villages with roughly the same number of habitants but not so "lost in the middle of nowhere" like Hinamizawa was. But we didn't really mind, it was a good change and the girls were so friendly and nice from the start that it was as if I had always lived there.

[emp3thy]

It sounds like fun. [it's a nice feeling, to go somewhere and immediately be accepted. He wasn't quite so good at that. People tended to find him mysterious and were curious, but acceptance came later.]

[breaks_destiny]

Hinamizawa was really fun, even if the village didn't have any of those places the city had. But it's not as if I would miss them, I never went to them after all.

[emp3thy]

Not even karaoke? [EVERYONE does karaoke once, Keiichi... even if they can't sing]

[breaks_destiny]

Not even karaoke. I woke up and went to school, after that I had cram school for the rest of the day, go back home, complete homework for all my classes, study for the exams or mock exams and go to bed. From Monday to Saturday, since Sundays I didn't have classes I stayed up late studying on Saturday and slept through most of Sunday, watched a bit of television if I didn't have an exam or something during the following week and early to bed to wake up early on next day.

[emp3thy]

[...........]

When we get back we're using the machine in the rec center.

[breaks_destiny]

Karaoke machine? I like that idea, though I don't think I'll know many songs.

[emp3thy]

You can always learn.

[get in touch with modern music, Keiichi.]

[breaks_destiny]

It'll be fun anyway. Maybe I should get the girls and Satoshi to come too?
