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!! ]

FESTIVAL
You looking for something, or is this your idea of having a good time?
no subject
He pauses when he hears someone talking to him. ] Looking?
[ He looks back to see Kyle. Oh, he's a staff at UA! ] The second part is closer to it. If you find a good spot, let me know.
no subject
Sure, but... You're drawing a crowd.
[He gestures to some festival-goers huddled together, debating on whether to call the police or a hero agency in hushed whispers. Maybe they should go over and let them know Takumi's actually a hero and not just a shady serial napper-- WAIT A SECOND]
Ain't you supposed to be keeping an eye on the students too?
no subject
With so many other elite staff and teachers like you out and about today, I figured it'd be no problem, you know?
[ He gives a small shrug as he response. At least he's no longer trying to cram himself in a small box or hide in a portable bathroom. Did he mean that comment about Kyle? Maybe, but it's probably hard to tell with so unenthusiastic his face seems. ]
no subject
You're the one with the license, Hero. I'm just a doctor.
[... Ah. But the group of people is lingering. He looks at his watch and grumbles like he's disappointed it isn't later in the day... Hopefully showing them his school ID badge will give him a little credibility for what he's about to say.]
Nothing to worry about, folks. He's a UA teacher. Now buzz off and enjoy the festival.
no subject
He watches the bystanders return to the festival before turning to Kyle. ]
Well, now that my resting spot here's off limits, I hope you won't be sticking around for the rest of the night trying to prevent me from finding other good spots.
[ That's just being a partypooper, you know. ]
no subject
I don't really give a crap about your resting places. But if I have to chase down a crook while you're off sleeping in a box, I'm gonna be pissed off. [So as long as no crimes happen, it's fine!]
Knock yourself out, so long as you don't scare any more little old ladies.
no subject
Come on now, that just means you happened to be at the right place at the right time. And most likely it'd be theft or fist fights from arguing over who gets the girl, or something.
[ A little boring for Takumi's taste... why is he even a hero to begin with? ]
