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!!

Unfortunately for Meta, the implication went over his head. "Yes, he was rather sad he had to stay at the office since he doesn't have a hero license. I think this one will cheer him up." He gently picks up the dream catcher in question and twists the long cord at the top to spin it. Setting it back down, he continues to peruse Sarah's wares. There are also more sidekicks on the field to consider, after all.

"I suppose that would the best case scenario."

"Ah well, a kind gesture like this would make most of anyone's day just a bit brighter, which a lot of people could use now adays." But she wouldn't bring negativity to the conversation, instead she nodded at his last statement. "Indeed, and for the time being, lacking further evidence, one can only hope."

"I'm only relieved there have been no major injuries." He admits. "I have handled villains rise up over the most petty of reasons, so to see none today is a good sign of that." As he picks through different incense sticks, he quietly adds, "It's honestly a shock."

"Well in recent years, I'd take good news over no news and these as small as they are, seem like good news." she mused gingerly.

"Plus, it should lighten your workload no?"

Meta is quiet and still for a moment. His fingers pause on a stick of incense, then prods it back into place.

"The goal of all heroes is to bring society closer to total peace." He recites. "But I don't want to twiddle my fingers in the mean time."
killingusoftly: ([Sarah] Glad you came)

"Fair enough," she replied with a nod. Quite the justice type, someone to definitely keep an eye on. They'll do great things.

"Though, for all it's worth, a bit of r&r isn't bad once in a while either. Gives you time to refresh yourself and get back on the saddle as they say in the west."

"I can afford to rest, but I can't afford to relax." He says with a hard voice. The business world and the hero world have different levels of competition, ingrained deep in his bones. There is no rest for the wicked, they say, and he has to remain vigilant, or risk falling behind.

Sarah nodded. "Just remember, you matter too. Doing your duty for others is admirable, but don't forget to take time to take care of yourself too." she mused one last time with a smile.
