Room List:
1. Yukimura-Tezuka
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

The finish line and penalty drinks could have been a lot closer to the cabin if you asked Echizen.

Most of the others have gone on ahead, and any who have offered to help have been told he's fine. It could have been a lot closer, but Echizen won't be the one to wimp out on the task he's been given. Kuwahara's shoes are getting dirty, but he can't help that.

He reaches the steps to the front decking of the lodge, a wrap-around structure with a couple of small sitting areas. Echizen backs up two of the steps and tugs against Kuwahara to drag him up the stairs.

"Ah-- wait!!"

The voice isn't familiar and nothing says it's for him, so Echizen continues about his business until the thumping of feet is right by and then right past him and stopping at Kuwahara's legs, lifting them at the ankles. Echizen finally recognizes it's the white-haired Rikkai underclassman that had picked up Marui. He smiles a little too enthusiastically for Echizen to find authentic.

"Kuwahara-senpai's difficult to lift alone. I'll help."

He's already got the legs off the ground; it'd be weird to tell him to drop them when the help meant Kuwahara getting less scraped up and dirty. Slightly peeved over the hit to his ego but unable to complain about it, Echizen drops his head and mutters a "Thanks."

He won't admit it, but it is much easier once he has help. Once inside, the Rikkai guides them to a staircase that leads to a common area with four identical bedrooms and a communal bathroom, each bedroom bearing a sign with four names. Assigned rooms, huh? Echizen notices with some disappointment that he's not with Momo.

Momo and Marui are already on the two lower bunks of the room they were sharing with Kuwahara, creating a dilemma for where to place him. They eventually settle for the floor by Marui.

"Ochibi~!" Kikumaru cries as he leaps from the bunk above Momo and latches around him like a monkey, making it difficult to breathe (let alone move). "Don't leave me here alone-- everyone's sleeping!"

"Who's keeping you in here with them?" Echizen grouses back.

"I'm surprised... They put me in here with Momo but you're with Oishi. I wonder what they're thinking."

"Who knows."

Echizen disentangles himself and leaves the room to find the one with his name. Right next door... That wasn't bad. Kikumaru made it sound like they were on opposite ends. Roommates: Sanada... Oishi... Tamagawa.

...Who was that?
