Entry tags:
Bananas for All~
Who: Nana; open but some closed prompts might be put up as needed!
What: Various prompts for the first half of June! Including a student council election-related one.
When: Early June.
Where: Across campus.
Warnings: Probably not much, but will update.
1. THE AP-PEEL OF DEMOCRACY (open!)
[In early June, on the quad, Nana has set up one of her big campaign events: the bake sale to end all bake sales.
There is a huge booth there, and it has multiple people helping staff her campaign working it. The Banana Stand is more like a Banana Mart today. Nana's not often behind the counter; she's out mingling with the students who come by, handing over small plates with cookies and slices of banana bread and other delicious goodies. It's a social event!
She's in top form. She has her uniform on, but a sash declaring her a "PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL" on, and she's posing for photos and smiling. There's posters, buttons, and also a wooden cutout of a cute cartoon frog to get a picture with.]
2. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT (open!)
[Recent nightmares (both sleeping and the ones she experienced, firsthand, at the end of May) have Nana on the razor's edge, inside. She's stepped back from feeling so wound up that she might burst, but... she found herself lacking. She'd been defeated twice now.
She can internalize a lot of that, but it needs somewhere to come out.
Today's, she's back inside the Mythril Cages. It's not hard to find her, working through a form with a wooden practice katana -- making her way through it for the sixteenth time today. She has her hair tied back, and has an intense look on her face.
A lot of her strikes are a little too hard.]

[She looks up at the frog, and then she nods.]
I'm glad you think so! I think it would do a lot... ah, it can liven up some of those.
[She wouldn't do it for the serious ones.
Mostly.]no subject
Toki brought to my attention that my style is too dry to really capture the masses.
[ Which is why he is now trying to absorb how to be charming in a place full of people who don't care for conventional charming. ]
no subject
[She glances around.]
...They also want to see someone take things seriously. I think it gives them inspiration.
no subject
[ OKAY, this is hugely relieving. ]
If we make it on the council, we'll have to find the right mixture between appealing and reliable. I'm... actually not really sure what most students here would find approachable, so that will be the first challenge.
no subject
[If they win.
Nana's hopeful. Expressing how hopeful feels gauche, though.]
no subject
I don't think I've ever seen a school with a student body as diverse as this though.
no subject
But the school's many different types of students just means there's all the reason to try harder, right?
no subject
[ Harder and harder and then a bit, because what on earth is up with like.... half of the people going here. ]
You also had a normal day-to-day life before, then?
no subject
no subject
Before I got to this place, I figured I was prepared. Arriving was... humbling.
no subject
There's really no school like it. I loved it the moment I came here, but... it had to be a culture shock.
no subject
Even though I'd spent so many years learning about magic society, it turns out the reality is quite different. Or maybe not different but 'more'. It's not a bad thing [ it is ] but... whoa.
no subject
Finding out the world isn't what you thought it is... it is a lot.
no subject
[ Even though she'd never expected any of this, how could she integrate so easily...? ]
no subject
And it felt like... I was doing something important, too.
[She smiles, thinking back on it.]
It was wonderful.
no subject
Thank you for explaining this to me. Understanding what makes people love this school... is going to be really helpful in making everyone more comfortable.
I don't want to hold up your campaigning any longer, you have voters to sway! But I really hope you make it.
no subject
[She smiles at him; then, Nana nods her head, clasping her hands together in front of him.]
You, too. I'm rooting for you!
[He seems... earnest. And sincere, and serious, and serious is a trait she isn't as good at. He can help her balance that out.
And seriously. He's not the other person running for VP.]
