2. Inui-Yanagi-Akaya-Kaidoh
3. Niou-Yagyuu-Fuji-Kawamura
4. Marui-Eiji-Momoshiro-Jackal
5. Sanada-Echizen-Oishi-Tamagawa

Seikai means "correct"

General schedule:
Day 1 - arrive, settle in, shenanigans, YukiTez co-op leadership
Days 2-4 - Seigaku-style training under Tez-Oishi (Rikkai: "That's it?")
Days 5-7 - Rikkai-style training under Yuki-Sana + doubles boot camp (Seigaku: /DEAD)
Days 8-12 - Kouhai captains training for being a captain, managing leadership, assigning training, and determining order for the matches
Days 13-14 - practice matches between two kouhai teams, winding down

Schedule Notes:

• Rikkai's training weights given to Seigaku for Days 5-7
• DOUBLES BOOTCAMP FOR SEIGAKU: GP is honorary Rikkais for this, Rikkai 2nd years demoted to Seigaku in exchange. Start off with Akaya/Kaidoh vs Tamagawa/Echizen then GP vs PP for contrast. How not to doubles. HOW TO DOUBLES.
• someone complains it's not fair to expect any of them to be able to play at the level of famous combos like those two pairs
• and then "Challenge accepted: Eiji/Jackal and Marui/Oishi will be the doubles pairs" (Imagine wonder castle with moon volley OW)
• For Kouhai practice days: in the spirit of all of this collaboration and teamwork, the schools have also been split so each team is half Seigaku and half Rikkai, with Yuki and Tez assigning them out so each one is more or less balanced. e.g. if one team gets the golden pair, the other team gets platinum pair

CR Ideas:

• Seigaku ??? at Tamagawa ALL THE INTRODUCTIONS
• Tezuka & Tamagawa, mentoring on how there's another way to lead from Yukimura's style and it's okay to have your own
• Sanada attempts no pillow fighting rule, is overruled by collective mutiny
• VC Commisseration, Oishi trying to figure out how Sanada commands so much respect (probably doesn't like what he sees)
• data & kouhai room to be a slightly awkward thing like dating single parents trying to get their kids to get along
• Sanada judging Seigaku, asking Oishi why he isn't taking any of Tezuka's responsibility to lessen his burden and actually Inui should step up too, since he's like a low-rent Renji
• diving into Tez's feelings: Tezuka had to wait for Nationals bc he was the only one on Big 3's level, could not do as quickly what Yukimura did with Rikkai. Fuji's lack of motivation not helping, Yamato's curse with telling Tezuka to be the pillar (do it alone)
• Marui, Jackal, & Taka-san in charge of cooking the meals
• Someone getting sick from eating wild berries or mushrooms
• Oishi being resident doctor for someone
• Niou and an accomplice troll Akaya about the need to perform an exorcism on him
• Sanada and Tezuka fishing together (someone discover the Oishi lure, please)
• General development of admiration/appreciation for opposite team's captain (read: Yukimura harem intensifies)

Shenanigans Go Here:

• pillow fights, duh
• ghost stories
• prank wars
• Marui and Momo team-up for fridge raid at midnight
• Akaya and Kaidoh losing sleep over ___ (Niou and Seigaku coconspirator as possible culprit)
• Yukimura sleepwalking
• Mouri & Yamato gatecrashing
• Atobe gatecrash, inserting himself into captains' room (Yukimura and Tezuka settle the results of their bet on how long it would take Atobe to do this)
• Illusion antics, Niou or Yags or both??
• Taka-san racket mode
• Niou and Kaidoh adopted by feral cat
• competition for who has the strongest heat tolerance in their food (Seigaku collectively backs away from Fuji)

Misc Character notes:

• It was Tezuka's rule that all rooms must be co-school so Rikkai can't clique
• Tamagawa to get mentorship helping him see he's a Seigaku at heart there are more ways to effectively lead than Yukimura's and Sanada's drill sergeant terrorism & it's ok to have his own style (that was actually why Yukimura agreed to his request to do this)
• Yukimura's revenge against Seigaku is to be the merciless military leader he is for his portion of the captain demo and sit back and schadenfreude the other days where everyone else makes an attempt

Comments

[counterpuncher]

"Yeah," Fuji voiced in agreement before moving across the floor to Marui, again taking care not to step on Jackal. He pulls one piece of Marui's gum from the pack Niou gave him, half-unwraps it, and holds it over the redhead's nose like a smelling salt.

Two seconds pass, and the breathing shifts from the steady inhale of slumber to interested sniffs. Eyes slip open. Fuji greets them with a smile.

"Glad you're awake. You should get up quickly. Here--" and holds the stick in offering. Bunta looks confused, but accepts it without question and sits up to pop it in his mouth.

Kaidoh, aside from a brief look at Akaya as he protests Sanada's yelling, pays the vice-captain and his charge no visible attention. He has no business inserting himself into that, but privately agreed with Sanada. He focuses on unpacking his bag, straightening out any stray wrinkles from the folded clothes in his pack before placing them neatly in the dresser drawer.

[senselessness]

Sanada's yelling is enough to force Jackal out of his Inui-induced stupor. Momo barely touches his shoulder before he knee-jerks awake, wary of being next.

"Not my fault whatever Akaya did while I was unconscious," he muttered.

Momo was about to make a joke but a shift in the air made him look up. Tezuka was striding down the hall with Yanagi, and Inui-senpai was matching Yanagi-san's pace almost too exactly, since Yanagi-san was the only one he could even pretend to hide behind. Momo couldn't clock why until he remembered Fuji-senpai was within striking distance-- which, for Fuji-senpai, was any distance.

He saw Yanagi give Inui a disdainful eyebrow raise, quietly destroying the illusion. He didn't exactly have Yanagi-san's ability to predict what people would say, but if he had to guess, Momo was thinking it was something along the lines of, At least have the dignity to stand by your actions, Sadaharu.

Sanada came out into the hallway next, looking expectant and guiding a red- and bleary-eyed Kirihara.

"Aaah, Tezuka-buchou!" Momo waved. "How's the agenda for the rest of the night?"

[ilobyou]

Tamagawa's attention shifts to the Platinum Pair's quarters, a room no longer silent from the general lack of consciousness within. Were they all awake now? He hoped so. Marui-senpai and Kuwahara-senpai were so good at making the room feel comfortable.

That aside... the Seigaku that poked his head out looked more promising for an introduction. He had a friendly-looking face, and his way of speaking was so casual and relaxed. Yes. He could handle this.

Strange, though. Tezuka-san, Vice Captain Sanada, and Yanagi-senpai were all gathering up here... where was Captain Yukimura?

[emperoroftennis]

Tezuka and Sanada were slowly noticing the same thing as Tamagawa... where was Yukimura? Tezuka's gaze flitted to Fuji entirely on instinct. He'd felt his blood run cold at the way the two of them played off each other at the outset of this. Fuji's sense of humor was usually kind enough to pass Tezuka over for richer sources of glee, but Yukimura might not have that same compunction.

Jackal, meanwhile, slipped his watch out of his pocket to check the time. He didn't think his stomach could take any more abuse after Inui's defilement of it, and there was no way in hell he was allowing Seigaku into the kitchen before him at this point. Was it time to start planning a takeover operation? But he glanced warily at Sanada. He didn't want to earn a lecture about how only losers need to eat, either. If Sanada was allowed any hand in the preparations for this trip, they might be forced to live on waterfall meditation and morning air.

Which would still be better than Seigaku's attempts at nutrition, clearly. He made a mental note to never, ever trust Yanagi when it was his turn to bring drinks to games.

For his part, Yanagi was fast losing patience with Inui's sudden clinging to his shadow. Have the courage of your convictions, for heaven's sake, and if you don't, don't make it my problem. He was just trying to find a conversation topic to lead Fuji into when Tezuka stepped into the center of the crowd.

"The real training starts tomorrow," he said, dispensing with any kind of welcome or preamble. Yukimura's welcome at the bottom of the mountain sufficed. "Rest up for that, remember that you'll be relying on people you previously opposed, and don't let your guard down."

[courtstrouble]

Rest for the remainder of the evening... curious. If Yukimura and Sanada had indeed agreed to everyone having the rest of the day to themselves, the plans for tomorrow must be particularly intense. Otherwise, why would they allow so much recovery time? Yagyuu pushed his glasses, which were in a bad habit of sliding, back up his nose, and his gaze flickered to Niou with a mysterious smile.

"Unusual, isn't it. What do you think, Niou-kun? Shall we take a walk of the premises?"

"Yo-hoiiiii~!" Eiji cheered. "Last one to the game room is Inui's guinea pig!" And you'd better believe he was nowhere in sight a mere blink later, like hell he was going to be that sucker!

"There's a game room?" Tamagawa asked, just a hint nervous because he did not want to be that sucker either, and he really needed to know where he was supposed to run first.
