May mini-mini-event
05/31 16:00
The student council elections take place after class on Monday, with students instructed to gather in the auditorium for the assembly. Attendance is not mandatory, but once students enter the auditorium and take their seats with the rest of their homeroom, they will find that they are not able to speak or get up from their seats. There are no teachers present.
Fifteen minutes past the hour, the doors to the auditorium close and the assembly commences, with the current student body president Maya Arisu stepping up to the podium, obligatorily thanking everybody for coming, and briefly going over the agenda: the student council candidates, sitting in a neat row behind her at the back of the stage, are to first introduce themselves to the student body, after which the candidates will make a case for why they would best serve the student body. As each person comes up to the podium, a projector shines on the white screen behind the stage with an image of the student's profile, displaying their full name, homeroom, blood type, handedness, club membership and leadership roles, current grades, and current merit points. Those in the student council are held to high standards, be it scholastic achievement as exemplified by grades or club participation, or eloquence or bravado if they have nothing else going for them but talk big anyways, like the current candidate in the middle of a passionate speech concerning the atrocity that is Ishimaru's eyebrows, like, do you really want that to be the face of the student body--
The mic cuts off and Maya drops the end of the power cord before striding up to the center of the stage, staring at the candidate to get out of her way or risk a broken foot.
"I'm going to stop wasting your time," she says, voice quiet but at the same time clear and audible in the hush of the room. "The qualities I'm looking for in a member of our council isn't intelligence or diligence or kindness. Who the person is matters the most: what they do and how they think."
She turns around, facing the candidates, looking at each of them in turn. "We will be testing your character. Follow me."
One by one, the student council candidates rise to their feet and file out of the auditorium after Maya, stiff and robotic, almost as if they have no control over their bodies as she leads them out the door. The moment the last candidate leaves the auditorium, the spell binding everybody's limbs and voices breaks, students jumping to their feet to push and shove each other out of the way in their excitement to leave-- not to go home, but to crowd around the windows surrounding the courtyard, or to race each other to the higher floors to claim the windows with the best views:
Out in the courtyard, the student council candidates line up against the side of the school. Facing them, in a half circle in front of the wisteria tree, are several familiar faces, each with a dagger in hand, a stagger to their steps, yellow in their eyes, and wild animalistic abandon in the way they lunge at the student council candidates.
The sun is bright overhead. Blood spills and soaks into the ground. The school stays true and does not turn.

✽ Happy Execution Day! For those unfamiliar with how murdergame executions work, the initial top-level is reserved for Ishimaru and Madison to fight to the death, while the rest of the post is free for characters to post reactions as well as to play out the aftermath.
✽ As a general guideline, the dropped characters look the same as originally, aside from yellow eyes, and the way they move is haltingly, as if they're resisting the compulsion to murder. It is a compulsion, though! So if both Ishimaru and Madison refuse to fight each other, they'll just get stabbed by somebody else.
✽ The execution will end once there is only one person left, after which the door will allow them back inside the school. Before then, the doors and windows are locked, and trying to escape the courtyard will result in loss of consciousness, with enough warning to turn back. The moment there is one survivor left, the npc students go home, as the position is won by default. Congrats! Hope it was worth it.

So when he spots Rika coming for her shoe, he suddenly turns to her wrapping his arms around her waist in a cute yet tight hug that hopefully draws her to a stop.]
Kawai-chan! Jeez, why're you throwing shoes around? You almost hit me, y'know!
no subject
she struggles a little, but ultimately just kind of... gives up. fine. her shoe is lost forever to the depths of hyde's gross mouth. )
I have great aim, y'know! My Hyde's being stupid senses tingled, so I did it on instinct...

[ HIS SHOE, he is flipping it around. ITS HIS. HIS SHOE. Dont try to take it hell eat it. Swallow it whole, dont fuck with him. Not nerfgun v2.0 ]
no subject
( she wrinkles her nose, looking at her shoe. HER shoe. )
Hmmm... ~ well, if you gave me my shoe back, maybe that could be you... but... I think I'll just elope with Oumacchi!! ( and look, ouma's even got his arms wrapped around her, it works out. pls give her thE SHOE BACK )
no subject
Kawai-chan, were you cheating on me??
[Clinging continues, though he subtly tugs her juuuust slightly back. Just...y'know, hopefully out of immediate stabbing range in case of the worst.]
no subject
[ He says actually with a calm and slightly annoyed toned. As if for once, hes a bit peeved about something. ]
no subject
No way, no way! Nobody would wanna cheat with this loser!! He's a total virgin, you see. ( fine, she'll let herself get slowly dragged back... this shoe... will be hers again someday... )
no subject
[Snickering as he leans into Rika. As if the two of them aren't probably virgins themselves.]
no subject
Pfft — I know, right? ( it's... well, she's grateful for the distraction, honestly. ouma's weight presses against her back, and she feels strangely comforted, despite everything.
not that she'll say it. )
I can totally take on guys like, thrice his size, though, Oumacchi. Just so you know! ( so you don't have to worry or anything — )
