The Effortless Wiles of Summer!

Who: YOU
What: Opening Day Log, so a big ass mingle
Where: All over Japan
When: July - August

Summer–Like the Sun in the sky, the temperatures are high to match. When one walks into the world to be a contributing member of society, it feels more or less like you’re breathing through a wet towel. Through the crowds or up your empty town roads–no matter where you are, dense air weighs on the neck and you’re unable to differentiate the water in the atmosphere from the sweat on your skin. Lately it’s been feeling like that sort of day nearly every day with the embers of sunlight scattered across the clouds, unrelenting in sharing their heat. It’s beautiful in a naturally obnoxious way.

But summer is summer! Many people love this time of year and others loathe it, but the weather undeniably can affect a person in different ways. Some people simply can’t take the heat while others revel in it, or indifference stands just enough to get someone through the day - but when it negatively affects moods and raises pressure, anger can go to the head much easier in the fires of July—Assuming those fires haven’t been drenched by the might of the annual typhoon season that passes through the country. Search & Rescue heroes might be pretty busy this time of year.

Students may be getting ready to take it easy for their summer vacation toward the end of July, but many Heroics students are preparing to intern with professional heroes during this time. It’s a golden opportunity to get out into the field and understand the day-to-day life of professionals, whether wild enough to find itself in the news or just a quiet day among the citizens–every aspect must be understood with no illusions. In this case, intense heat always brings an increase in crime. It could be as simple as a minor argument disturbing the public or a real brawl taking out entire structures–order must stand over chaos! Take notes, kids!

Even without interns under your belt, a pro-hero is always on the clock. July is a busy festival season all over Japan, which, in tandem with the weather, could make a pretty nasty cocktail for disaster if left unchecked. Sometimes, however, many festivals pass without incident and thanks to the heroes and their Symbol of Peace, criminals should probably think twice. Who knows who can pop up, after all...

[ Welcome to/back to Plus Ultra! First and foremost, allow me to link the opening game CR Meme. That may seem weird, but if people want to pre-establish a relationship with anyone else, then this is the place to make some plans (more below). Since this AU is less about being dropped into the world and more about already existing in it and growing from there, this could be a helpful start.

I’ve made this mingle log for July-August because the timing is actually rather awkward if we go by actual Japanese calendars for schools, so it’s to help the student characters more than anything. Last week of July until Aug 25~31 is the summer break for most students and then it’s back to school.

Most pro heroes tend to know others in the market, but anyone can embrace the concept of being “up and coming” as well. This log will be vague to get people started with exploring the world and if you have ANY QUESTIONS, please reply to the FAQ so I can leave it for others to see as well. Enjoy!!

Isn't it just? [ Blackbosom doesn't seem to mind the conversation. She found a fellow romantic, it would seem. ] The porters are not the only ones dancing. [ More like smashing into one another but she gazes at the lanterns as well to indicate them. ]

I don't usually attend these events but this one seemed irresistible this time around.
cuddly_incoming: (Adorafy!)

[Lulu giggled, the thought of the lanterns dancing filled her with glee.] That's right! It does seem like it doesn't it?

I've never seen something like this so I'm really really glad I'm getting to attend one! And look at all the smiling faces, yours included! It's something that everyone needs, to balance the everyday grind.

Every day can be an adventure if you know where to look. [ Blackbosom's stifled giggle loosened a bigger smile out of her. ] What's your name?
cuddly_incoming: (Adorafy!)

[personal profile] cuddly_incoming 2018-07-15 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
This is true! And I love it!

[Lulu did a little twirl and smiled up at Blackbosom.]

I'm Lulu! Nice to meet ya!

Greetings, Lulu.[ Lulu's excitement elicited a twirl from her in response, along with a little bow. ]

I'm Blackbosom.

[ To use her hero name always sent a shiver down her arms as if she had to hold it close and ever closer. ]

Oh, but please do not go into the marked area with the porters. That is prohibited.

cuddly_incoming: (Ooo what's that?)

[personal profile] cuddly_incoming 2018-07-21 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa, cool! I knew you were a hero! Sooo cool! And that's an awesome name!

[Lulu did a little jig and grinned.]

I'm training to be a hero myself! I'm still learning, but I'll get there!

[Looking at the marked area, Lulu looked at it curiously.]

Oh? Sorry, didn't know! But now I do, so I'll avoid that area! Thanks!
