A secret overnight costume party.
About
A modern-day all-boys school festival. An annual event held at the end of October. Exhibits, cosplay cafes, bands, and plays—various attractions are prepared and opened to the public. It is so popular that some enthusiasts travel from outside the prefecture every year just to attend. Apparently, the reason is... both the teachers and students are full of incredibly handsome guys.
And then there is the unique tradition of this academy: The Overnight Festival A rare two-day, one-night event. In the evening, once the public viewing ends, the atmosphere shifts completely. Teachers and students alike cast off their uniforms and wander the campus in whatever cosplay they desire. Many people wear heavy makeup or hide their faces with masks.
According to the Chairman who conceived it, it is a "Modern Masquerade."
There is only one rule: You may say your name, but never your grade or age. This is because knowing someone is a senior or a teacher might cause others to hold back.
Teachers, students, seniors, juniors. You might be able to talk to people you usually can't.
Beds and futon sets for everyone are prepared in each room. You can use the large rooms to talk about crushes or have pillow fights with new friends, or you can slip into a small private room with that person you're interested in.
*Note: These were originally characters for a creative project, but since I no longer have time to draw them, I've thrown their traits together into this plot. It was made entirely on impulse.
