Open!
Who: Nana... and everyone!
What: Banana Stand, training, and dorm hijinks!
Where: The ubiquitous banana stand, out on campus, and Lumiere.
When: First half of August!
Warnings: There's going to be some screaming and panic in prompt three.
I. BANANA STAND
[August begins, classes are ready to start anew, and Nana Daiba is on hand.
The Banana Stand is back. It didn't make an appearance during July, between the Herald and people being gone. Now, though, the snack station is out on the Quad: a large, wooden stand with "BANANICE" painted across the top. Nana is working it -- possibly with help, if you're so inclined -- and handing out free cookies, muffins, slices of banana bread, and more. All of it is flavored, too, with bananas.
She's beaming brightly, waving at everyone -- especially the newer students -- and trying to get them to come over.]
II. WHEN BAKED GOODS GO WRONG
[Nana does a lot of her baking in Lumiere.
But baking at a school with as much magic and strangeness as Daybreak carries... risks. Such as when Nana finds ingredients for sale, which she thought were mundane but high quality, and are actually magical. In this case, it means that there is a rumble from the first floor kitchen -- then the door bursts open, and Nana goes running ahead of... something.]
I DON'T UNDERSTAAAAAAND!
[The something is about a baker's dozen giant banana muffins. They have grown arms and legs; they are groaning audibly, and one hurls a baking tray that Nana just ducks under, before they start to rush forward down the hall and roar.]
Why have my muffins turned against me!?
III. WAKING UP IS THE WORST PART
[Even after the Herald, the dreams don't stop.
Nana hasn't been sleeping so well since June. There's people she can turn to -- the few who know -- but she hides the fact that she is a Seer. Her visions come from the Giraffe; her visions are dreams, and less accurate and have a different cost. Unfortunately, they come more and more often now. Nana is falling asleep, periodically. Maybe it's in class.
Maybe it's out on campus, on a bench or at the side of a building. Maybe it's in a dorm common room. Either way, sometimes, she dozes off...
And then wakes up with a jolt and a start. Sometimes a gasp; occasionally a shout. Nightmares. It might not be the firs time.
ooc: If you'd like this prompt, feel free to set exact circumstances! Ask me if you have any questions.]

no subject
She smiles at him, and then she offers a muffin out wordlessly.]
Mm-hmm.
Want to have a seat? I keep a couple of stools for just that.
no subject
Complicated is going to be putting it Lightly. Gongenzaka does take a muffin however, as well as a seat.] Mnh...Thank you, Nana.
[Muffin...
...
Gongenzaka is maybe a bit too quiet.]
no subject
Almost.]
...It didn't go well, did it?
no subject
...and...After we faced the herald, I, the man Gongenzaka, attempted to get advice from my parents as well but...
[Oooof.] Considering how the talk I had with Yuuya proceeded... I do not feel I understood them at all...
[Spoilers: he super didn't.]
no subject
...I'm sorry, Gongenzaka. Your parents... that didn't go well either?
And did--did you kiss him?
god i'm sorry nana
[Well, now he's just confused?] N- No!
That is why I spoke to my parents to begin with..! I, the man Gongenzaka, wanted to know what to do!
And I, the man Gongenzaka, assumed I understood, but it would not make sense for them to give advice that would cause things to grow worse, or at the very least it seemed as though they hoped it would go well, [he rambles, gesturing occasionally with his hands,] But instead...!
[...maybe he should just explain, he decides as he deflates.] I, the man Gongenzaka thought...I should make sure that I know exactly what needs to be done, and how to do it...but I did not wish for Yuuya to wait until I knew everything, so I, the man Gongenzaka, tried to tell him that...
...but...more over, when I, the man Gongenzaka, explained that the things I did before, such as special gifts, or sharing tea, were things I, the man Gongenzaka, feel I have done out of love, it seemed... ...that, as well as the first thing, upset him..?
...it...I, the man Gongenzaka, supposed...since I did not know those were my feelings, he did not see those things as...being from such feelings...
[It doesn't help that Yuuya tends to do all of those things with friends Anyway, and Gongenzaka lacks any and all confidence to try the things Yuuya wouldn't do with just friends.
Also, Gongenzaka is just confusing in general and it'll probably be tricky for Nana to parse a darn thing from what he just said as is.]
no subject
After a moment, she thinks she understands.
She looks down, hesitant, as she tries to put it into simpler words.]
So he felt... you didn't see where your actions came from -- and they're things he might have done, anyways -- and that meant you didn't do them out of love?
[It sounds like Yuya.]
no subject
...Perhaps, I, the man Gongenzaka, should have tried the kiss..? But how would I know that it would be something we like then? It is for the best, to make certain that something will be enjoyed first is it not?
[Except, how the heck would anyone know without trying Gon??]
no subject
[This is all a lot more complicated than she anticipated.
Nana hesitates a moment, before she shakes her head.]
I think, sometimes, you just have to try it and find out. You have to take a risk.
no subject
If I do not even already know...if I, the man Gongenzaka, do not even know that... ...how can I even make it worth it, for him..?
[
This is probably a good time for the astounding realization that Someone here has not seen Nearly as much TV and Film in his life as others have, to hitReally though, he just needs to take that risk.] ...even just now, it feels as though I, the man Gongenzaka, have ruined the friendship we had by confessing...
work was evil, v. sorry
And... I think you should decide if you want it to be the way it was, or to do something new.
If you decide you don't want to be with him romantically... then that's okay, too.
's ok....
(Well he certainly reads plenty, but he's never had a book go into detail on a kiss..!)]
...I just want it...to be the best that he could have. That is all. I, the man Gongenzaka, cannot know what I do not want if I have never experienced it...but is it not wrong to lead someone astray, only to learn after?
no subject
[Why is she giving him advice?
Is this what happened with Kano? She frowns, looking down for a second.]
Even if it doesn't work out... I feel like it can be nice to have tried.
no subject
....it is...as simple as words, yes..? [He says it quietly, and almost frailly, the same energy of fear that went into his texts many weeks ago.]
...simply...words...
no subject
[The words are what Nana never said.]
no subject
[He...is definitely still anxious. And a bit hesitant. But...]
...Nana?
...Thank you, for your advice...
no subject
I hope it goes okay. I'm rooting for you.
probs the end of this thread, ye
...Thank you, Nana. [He'll...Do his best!]
