Who: Everyone! Where: City wide event! When: November 23rd to November 30th Summary: Seasons change, and in a dramatic way! Warnings: 100% chance of heavy rainfall, and a good chance of musical numbers.
There's a definite change in the seasons.
In between the initial rain showers the locals are preparing for the change in the weather, making sure their roofs are sturdy and mended, windows are closed and secured, supplies are ready...Those who help out, or have helped in prior events might even find a care package prepared and left in the lobby of their apartment, or outside their door. (The contents being a few days worth of simple food; rice gimbap, some fruits, etc. And a few candles as well.) If asked, they say that the seasons are shifting, and the rainy season will be here in full force soon.
...And sure enough if a few days, on the morning of the 23rd, the weather DOES shift, and those clouds that have been gathering and sprinkling finally let loose with all that stored up rain. It falls in light drizzles, heavy torrents, gentle misting curtains, but most key of all it NEVER lets up. There's always some precipitation going.
That said, it might be good to head out with an umbrella when heading out. There's something about some of these storms that's odd; maybe it's just the mood that comes with the rain, the rhythm of the drops on the roofs and the ground, but...There's something almost musical about it at times. Sort of reminds one of a song, in fact!

That's what what she WANTED to say, anyway, staring in shock as he suddenly approached her, his hand grasping her own that was still on the umbrella, and started singing... t-that song. But instead--
Falling
(As the world)
Falling down
Falling in love
O-oh god, that was the chorus?! She tried waving her free hand infront of Kanji's face, trying to bring some sense back into him, but continued on singing-- this was surely due to him being without an umbrella all day!
I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings
Though we're strangers till now
We're choosing the path between the stars
I'll leave my love between the stars
Her face was scarlet now, glancing around to see if anyone was staring at them; and there were a few people, looking at them, some confused, others amused, others... swooning?
As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you
As the world falls down...
Why wasn't the umbrella working?!

"Makes no sense at all
Makes no sense to fall..."
But his eyebrows crinkled, and as he blinked, the light was coming back on, the gray in his eyes slowly resuming their normalcy. "Fallin' in l--"
Blink. Blinkblink.
Kanji sprung back a step and jammed his hands in his pockets, looking down at the floor.
"I-I DUNNO WHERE THE HELL ALL THAT-" He tried, couldn't control his volume, and silenced. He knew. He knew exactly where that came from, knew the song and the artist.
But he was rooted. He was rooted, and exerting every ounce of force not to turn and run.

"A-are you alright, Kanji-kun?"
Her old shoulders slumped for a moment, thankful that it seemed like the umbrella was finally doing what it was supposed to.
"You worried me for a moment there."
...What had that been all about? That had been a rather, um, romantic song.

"Uhm-" Was he okay? He didn't freakin' know. He wanted to go home and not come out until the rain stopped. But maybe he could take solace in the fact that nobody either of them knew was watching.
Nobody. Right?

Someone did happen to see that little number but he didn't make a big fuss, just wanted to see his friends. So they felt like that for each other and finally did something about it? Hey, he totally approved.
Speaking of that...kohais, your senpai has spotted you, smiled, and gave a thumbs up. Yu said nothing more and just went on his way.
no subject
Wait, out of the corner of her eye, was that Yu-senpai?
O-oh no, did he see that whole thing?! Why was he doing that?!
"...W-why is Yu-senpai giving us a thumbs up?"
And it all flew right over the detectives head, deeply confused to Yu's meaning.

"N-nothin'! Whatever! Let's go the hell home, yeah? I-I'll walk with ya. 'Cause umbrellas! Uh, I mean, you havin' one and me not havin' one n' all. Damn it-"
Who's ready for a walk home in silence? He was. Oh god, he was.
