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!!

Like a teacher, but if you make even the smallest mistake you can get yourself kicked out of the school forever.

[ Is that a threat? Absolutely. ]

[Lulu just looked more determined.]

Don't you worry! I will double, triple and quadruple check if I have to! Gotta make sure things are done right! That's what heroes do!

[ Good determination. A trait that all heroes should have.

And also it'd give him a lot less work to do.

Takumi goes quiet for a moment to fully consider before executing his decision.

...Good. I trust your quality work. Heroes shouldn't betray others trust, right?

[ Reassurance is necessary. While he'd prefer not to work, he doesn't want to be jobless. ]

[Lulu posed heroically!]

Exactly! It is a heroes duty to be trustworthy! You can count on me!

[And the ball of neverending energy is poised to strike at the work! Give it to her teacher, she's ready!]

[ He supposes it'll be okay. Worst case, he'll glance through and see if it's good enough. If not, he'll just have to look for another victim volunteer to do the double-checking. ]

Alright. Here's the paper that I need graded.

[ And he hands over a small stack of paper. A bit of multiple choice, some essay questions. A general answer key is placed on the top of the stack. ]

If the essay questions sound persuading enough just give them full credit.

[Looking determined, Lulu nodded and took quickly tot he work, grabbing the things needed for this task and turning to salute the teacher.]

You can count on me! I'll get these done and bring them back!

Good.

[ Once the grading's done, all he'd need to do is spot-check and that's it. ]

If you need anything I'll be in the locker in the classroom.
