(there are a bunch of short starters in this chapter!! even though this is under the non-despair one, some of the starters have supernatural elements that would normally place them under the au section! scenario one and and four will be entirely normal, though!)

scenario one: party
one of the more popular students at hope's peak had decided to throw a halloween party at their house, and all of the upperclassmen were invited. sure, the classes were a little small, but even so, everyone said it was going to be great.
(y/c) wanted to go, sure, but their friend, kaede, had practically dragged them to the party. she'd been so excited to find a costume, and had done everything in her power to make sure that she was ready to go by the time she needed to head over. (y/c) had needed a ride, and kaede had been more than happy to help.
ten minutes before the official start of the party, kaede's car pulled up in front of their house, and a small honk emitted from the vehicle to let them know she was here to pick them up.
what do you do?

scenario two: cemetery
kaede had always had a severe fear of cemeteries. she never wanted to get near one, and driving or walking by one always made her incredibly nervous and paranoid. the other day, when she was talking to (y/c), they started to bond over their mutual feelings towards the establishments. of course they were necessary and all, they just... gave you the creeps.
it was kaede who had the idea to face their fears. it probably wasn't the best idea to jump right into the scariest situation possible, but she suggested it— going to one at night on halloween. (y/c) reluctantly agreed. if they had another person with them, everything would be fine, right?
so they went as it was getting dark, no costumes, and just started to walk around. they stayed close to each other, especially when the sun finally set the whole way. after a little while, they both decided that enough was enough, and that they wanted out.
they quickly walked to the entrance, only to find that the tall gate was closed. weird, but no problem, right? (y/c) went to open the door of the gate, only to find that it was padlocked.
" (y/c) ? " kaede asked from behind them, clearly worried. " what's going on ? "
what do you do?

scenario three: control
the hope's peak halloween party had ended up naturally splitting into a lot of groups. people playing games, hanging in the kitchen, or talking in the halls. but (y/c) had somehow found themselves in the weirdest group of them all— the ones that had gone into the guest bedroom and convinced everybody that they should do a seance.
most people agreed, and a few looked very skeptical, but a ouija board was brought out and the rest joined hands before the outliers could protest.
thankfully for the hesitant ones, though, nothing seemed to happen, at least when their eyes were open. when they felt their hands naturally move, the letters just formed gibberish. so they stopped, letting go of each other's hands, putting away the candles and the board, and leaving.
(y/c) thought that they were the last to leave, but when they turned around in the doorway, they still saw kaede, sitting with her back turned to the doorway like she had been before in the circle. (y/c) gently asked if the blonde was coming.
" no , " came the response, but kaede's tone was just ... wrong . she'd never spoken like this before.
what do you do?

scenario four: costume
( THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WRITING ANYTHING MILDLY SUGGESTIVE PLEASE FORGIVE ME I GAVE IN TO PEER PRESSURE /hj )
kaede and (y/c) had been dating for a little over a year now, and so they'd known for a while that they would be going to this party together. so here they were, in kaede's bedroom, doing their costume's hair and makeup to get ready before they went over together. the pianist had been in the bathroom off to the side of her room for a few minutes, getting her costume on now that her hair and makeup was finished. they hadn't found anything for a couple's costume in time, so kaede hadn't told them what she was being yet. needless to say, they were curious.
so when kaede walked out of the bathroom, she managed to catch their attention. " hey ! can you do my button in the back ? it's just a small one at the top . "
the pianist was dressed as an angel, with small wings attached to her back, a halo headband, and otherwise. it was a strapless dress, the skirt was... really short, and the top came down ... pretty low. to be fair, a lot of girls wore stuff like this on halloween to feel confident in their bodies. but kaede never wore outfits like this, so maybe that's what made her look so ...
" a - ah , (y/c) ? should i ask someone else to do my button ? " she asked, trying to snap them back to reality.
