tomorrow we'll be open again (open/mingle)
Who: Visitors, students and teachers at the abandoned temple school
When: June 26 - July 9
Where: The building and grounds of the abandoned temple recently renovated into a school
What: Classes, hanging out, sparring, dinner and any conversations that people would prefer to keep private.
Warnings:None anticipated! Since this is a mingle, warn in your comment subject line if necessary.
School Kitchen
[The kitchen is on the first floor towards the back of the building, and fairly large, with two sinks, a large wood-burning stove and oven, and a small assortment of inexpensive cooking tools, pots and pans Hakkai has purchased from flea markets. There's an attached walk-in refrigerator and freezer that looks like a plain stone-walled larder, except that, as you walk further in, it gets colder and colder. It's probably magic.
Anyone is welcome to use the facilities to prepare food or teach cooking, although it's strictly bring-your-own-ingredients. Make sure you clean up after you're done!]
Classrooms
[There are classrooms on both the second and third floors, in all sizes from a cozy study-room that can accommodate five or six to large rooms that could seat fifty. A few have desks, tables, and largely empty bookshelves. Most have a blackboard mounted on the wall, and windows open to the summer breezes., and the ones empty of furniture have still been cleaned and are free for other uses.
Being uninhabited, they aren't always guaranteed to be empty. Curious animals -- or animal spirits -- may wander through. Watch for wasps, or the occasional tanuki…]
Courtyard
[A moderately sized yard surrounds the building. In front, it is partly paved, and partly shorter grass, free for kicking around a ball or practicing martial arts. Most of the sides and back are heavily overgrown, with barely any effort made so far to cut back the vegetation. Trees, vines and bushes entwine in bright, summery green foliage. At the very back of the yard, at the bottom of the garden, a pond lies veiled heavily in green duckweed, its banks choked with reeds and lotus. Once, it might have been a cleansing spring. Now… well, from the way the water moves, there are some very big fish swimming under that duckweed.
Or, at least, they're probably fish. It's hard to be sure. Swimming is not recommended.]

Well, we can give it a go when debris gets cleared, I guess. [ Miyuki is officially resigned to this fate now, and invested. ] But it kinda depends - it'd be for baseball, and we can make do with a practice field just fine instead of something full size. Especially for teaching other people how to play.
no subject
[Practice size would have to be at least some appreciable fraction of that; he's never played the game, himself, although he has a vague idea of the rules gleaned from seeing other people watch it from time to time. Something about hitting a ball and running in a circle.]

A full sized field, for high school leagues, would be about 107 meters in radius. Rounded up.
no subject
[Probability is also important math!]
no subject
Putting home by the school would make it so the only threats are pitches and fouls, and a high fence or net would work to keep anything from hitting a window.

[The bulk of the building itself is concrete, which seems to have helped it stand up to the elements, but glass didn't weather its abandonment nearly so well.]

We'll uh - yeah, we'll try and avoid that.
no subject
[Surely there won't. He inclines his head politely to the boy.]
Do let me know if you need any tools. I may be able to find them for you.
[He's had to rummage up a variety of tools and equipment in the process of cleaning and fixing up the building, after all; and while he's perfectly willing to put all that work on the baseball team, he doesn't want to make it impossible.]
