April event


04/04, 23:56

M.Arisu

hey... anybody who's awake to see this. hope you're not having too much trouble sleeping.
get rest when you can. work together when you can.
all we can do is keep trying, but i'm hopeful for this year.
feels weird to say... but it's all going to be gone soon, so...
anyways.
see you at school tomorrow.

Any replies on the forum go unresponded, and at the stroke of midnight, the past year's worth of messages are completely gone from the PDA forum, including any sent over spring break. Hope you have a good memory if you were in the middle of a conversation! Though you should really be in ...whatever you've managed to make your bed... because tomorrow is a big day.

04/05, 06:00

The silence continues until six in the morning with the toll of the clock tower bells, and anybody near the locker area will hear two women in mid-conversation as they phase through the front doors, heels clicking on the ground: "-—didn't even have the decency to finish the job! And now I have to— oh, stop crying, for goodness' sake! I swear—" It's a one sided conversation, mostly, and one that stops short the moment the women spot the students lingering around. While the younger woman, recognizable as the assistant principal, hurriedly scrubs at her face with her sleeves, the unfamiliar older woman with the oddly dissonant voice scowls intensely. "I don't need this on the first day of school! Students trespassing over break! I can't believe it! I don't have time for this—" she huffs, shaking her head and stomping down the hall towards the faculty office. "Miss Nene, I expected better of you! And you! Miss Ritsuka— the two of you shall report to the faculty office after the entrance ceremony. I expect a full report of everybody involved. Now behave yourselves and go to the auditorium."

Goodbye...

The assistant principal is left behind and looks confused and distraught. She sniffles and ducks her head a little, draws a shaking breath and stands a little taller. "I'm so sorry. I'll hear you all out after- after this is done. Alright?" She too heads towards the faculty office, trying her best to smile at those she passes by. While they may be followed, they seem to phase through the faculty office doors which remain closed and locked, and cannot be interacted with until after the ceremony.

Until then, other students start to filter through the front door, seeking out friends and chatting about their breaks, remembering about homework and asking if anybody actually did it so they can copy off them before classes start, laughing at any mention of being locked inside the school all break because what?? that's silly. A handful of students wear yellow armbands on the left sleeve of their uniform, marking them as members of the student council, and these student council members go around finally removing the gorinto from the window sills, tossing the rocks into a bag without any apparent ill effects, and collecting the snacks in a separate bag— though they'll offer the food to anybody they pass who looks hungry enough. Which is a lot of you. One or two might give a short lecture about the importance of eating breakfast to start the day off right. Other student council members busy themselves in the locker area, posting the new homeroom assignments and updating the school calendar to reflect exam dates and breaks for the coming year, or help setting chairs out in neat rows in the auditorium in preparation for the entrance ceremony.

04/05, 08:00

The opening ceremony starts at 8, with students and staff moving to the auditorium to sit with their homeroom class, calling characters out by name and dragging them over to their seat— physically if need be, and they're much stronger than they look. Unlike the graduation ceremony, characters are not forced to come to the entrance ceremony, but the moment they take a seat, they find that they can neither speak nor get up again until the ceremony is over.

The assistant principal stands behind the podium on stage, looking rather nervous as she glances down at the watch on her wrist for it to be time, and clears her throat before addressing the room. "Yogen High welcomes you, all our new students," she pauses, beaming at the row of first year classes before her gaze sweeps over the rest of the student body, "our transfer students, our returning students, our... repeat students..." Looking at you, Norton, Gawain, Abel... "I, um. You may have noticed that I am standing in for our principal today, who is currently... unavailable... and didn't exactly leave any notes to go off of..." She wilts a little, but trucks on nonetheless and continues the address, promising that the teachers will pass along any important announcements, expressing her belief in the potential of young minds, and wishing everybody a fulfilling school year. The ceremony concludes in a little under an hour, and the spell binding the students to their seats is broken, allowing everybody to rise and leave.

School lets out for the rest of the day with classes starting the next morning, and while many students take the opportunity to leave, some linger around the school. Gossip is flying already with news of the transfer students caught breaking into the school over break and what punishments they might get, rumors of what happened to the principal ranging from a family emergency to hospitalization to death, complaints about the water pipes not getting fixed over break, and general excitement over upcoming events listed on the bulletin board by the lockers, in particular new club advertisements, fortune telling ads, and a Charity Auction to be hosted the Monday after Golden Week next month.

April

School is school... The first thing teachers ask at homeroom Tuesday morning is for students to hand in their spring break homework. Didn't do it? You're on their shit list now. Characters are not forced to attend class, but patrolling faculty and student council members will heckle any truant students into going and can be a pain to deal with. Classes aren't taught terribly, though. The second year math teacher has a knack for easily digestible explanations, even if she writes and erases the board a bit too quickly to copy. The third year literature teacher combines weekly analytical essays with film studies, and is showing Child's Play, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Silence of the Lambs, and Where the Red Fern Grows this month. The first year biology teacher brings eyeballs and frogs and rats for dissection during anatomy lessons, and if you have a special request for a specific eye color, give him a day or two and he can deliver. 2-A's homeroom teacher can be seen stealing chalk from each of the second year classroom she rotates through and is offering extra credit to any students who sneak her chalk without asking questions.

New students will quickly learn that merit points are awarded for a full day's attendance, turning in homework, participating in class and clubs, scoring 80% or higher on quizzes and exams, etc. Less predictably, the PDA may sometimes ping for a single merit point when hanging out with a friend or arguing with a classmate, with stronger emotions (positive or negative) when interacting with somebody else more likely to trigger a point, and if students are abusing this system, it's kept out of the faculty's eyes. As the month goes on, sometimes a student comes to class with a cut eyelid, or a busted lip, or bandages wrapped thick around a wrist, but they always deny anything more than clumsiness or an accident or having pets who very aggressively show their love. Sometimes it's harder to hide, when a bloody nose drips onto the ground or bleeding knuckles brush against the wall, and those near enough to see blood touch the building will find that everything sort of... shifts... Just for a second. The feeling of vertigo that stops almost as soon as it begins, the world tilting without slotting back into alignment. You feel a bit nauseous. Just a little.

You go to the bathroom to splash water on your face and the pink looks a little darker, a little more solid. On the fourth floor, the water has stopped running in the bathroom sinks altogether, and students are told to go downstairs to do their business so that they may wash up after. With more students milling around the bathrooms, it's much easier to notice that people's reflections in the mirrors are just a bit off, lagging that split second long enough to be impossible to ignore once aware.

Every day you have homework. A new essay for something or other is assigned each week. Nobody wants to do group projects with a slacker who can't promise to meet up after school to get it done. Like clockwork, the school empties out at 6 PM each school day, leaving those behind to their own devices. There is no school on Sundays. Golden Week marks the end of the month, and guess who's going to be stuck at school for an entire week with only vending machine junk food to live off of if they aren't able to make progress concerning their living situation? Yeah.

Charity Auction

At least students have the charity auction to look forward to and work towards. Information about the auction set on May 10 can be found on the bulletin board, and appears to be put together by the student council as an annual event and an incentive for students to start the year off strong in earning merit points. Both students and staff are encouraged to donate to the auction, with the items collected and put on display in the auditorium behind locked glass cases. On May 10, students will be able to bid on items using their merit points, those who donate will receive 10% of the winning bid towards their item, and the school will match donations 100 to 1 point with proceeds going towards the "Save A Brain Foundation."

Throughout the month, glass cases lining the walls of the auditorium start to fill up with donations. The most popular donations seem to be physical items: possessions such as jewelry or gaming consoles, or artistic creations such as hand sewn clothing or paintings. There are placeholders for things that can't be put on display all month, such as placards with a picture or description of homemade food that won't be prepared until the auction date, or the promise of fishing lessons with the guidance counselor or a dinner date with the school principal (pending availability). At the back of the room stands the largest case, with the skinny black cat often found lying on top of it as if guarding it, although it will run away when approached.

Inside the case is a body.

OOC

    ✽ Refer to the npc contact page for which students and faculty are currently available for interaction. The assistance principal will do what she can to accommodate the characters stuck inside the school, but the extent of her help will depend on what is asked of her and how interactions with her go.
    ✽ The body does not seem to change or rot inside the case, and most npc students will unconvincingly express their belief that it's just a very life-like doll. Closer investigation of the body will not be available until next month, if a character manages the winning bid. Merit points earned are handwaved at player discretion, within reason.
    ✽ The plot will only move forward as things are discussed and acted upon, and clues distributed during app acceptances are meant to be shared and connected, so don't be afraid to ask questions and dig into things! I am here to enable.

    [ Naegi isn't much of an artist so when he puts up his sign to advertise the Workout Club, it's not very eye-catching. The words are in giant block letters and there's a stick figure in the corner?? Look, he's the Ultimate Good Luck/Hope, not the Ultimate Poster Maker, go complain somewhere else. ]

    [ But he knows that it's not very attractive so he has to stand in front of the board and convince people to sign up. A club needs six people to be made... he just needs to rope in a few. Okay... he can do this!! ]


    Did any of the clubs catch your eye?

    [ ... he's trying to ease into a conversation before he actually goes all car salesman on the person, okay. ]
( ɪɪ. ɪᴛ's ᴘʀᴏʙᴀʙʟʏ ɴᴏᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇʏᴇ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛɪɢᴇʀʀʀʀ )
    [ And if he's asked what the club is all about... ]

    Oh, I guess it'd just be about... working out and exercising? Since I don't know if we'd get any weights or equipment, it'll probably involve... push-ups? Sit-ups?

    [ He has absolutely no idea what he's doing because he hasn't exercised a day in his life, asides from P.E. class. He's trying his best though. ]
( ᴡɪʟᴅᴄᴀʀᴅ )
    [ just a simple top-level to get the club established! i'll put up a log later involving the actual club if we reach six members! and also when naegi's eye is ~officially~ gone :') ]

Might I ask you what the Work out Club entails? I am quite invigorated by this man holding up the spokes of a carriage! Are we heavy lifting carriages? It sounds like a formidable event. [ The Knight comes out of nowhere almost presumably having been there the entire time. ]

[personal profile] optimistical 2021-04-07 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh no... someone who looks like they actually work out... he's going to be so disappointed with Naegi's poor excuse of a club. ]

Huh? Carriages?

[ He has no idea what Gaiwan is talking about because those are clearly weights??? ]

I don't think anyone can heavy lift a carriage...
loyalbreed: Deleted Source . (A true Smile .)

[personal profile] loyalbreed 2021-04-07 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? They look like the spokes of a carriage? That reach across into two wheels? I see that I am wrong, no matter. You may enlighten me on what it is that we will be lifting on this endeavor no?

[ Gawain thinks its okay Naegi, its his fault for misinterpreting your beautiful drawing. ]

[ He looks back at the poster. Where are the spo-- ohh. ]

Oh, those are weights. I think we could get them if we get enough members for the club, so... I guess we'll be lifting those?

[ He has absolutely no idea what people lift in gyms. ]
loyalbreed: (Puppy .)

[personal profile] loyalbreed 2021-04-11 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Interesting! You have my absolute interest and want of this endeavor. I hope that you would allow me to join under your banner. [ As it were, perhaps. He thinks the other alike a Prince of sorts. ]

Trash like me...? In a position where I'd do nothing but let you down.. I'll have to reject.

( he's smiling as he says this though, not because he's trying to be a bitch about it, no. instead, he would never do anything to make the ultimate luck/hope look bad. he's something important in the way komaeda views things, and while he may not be the idea created by hope's peak academy — he's still hope regardless. while he is hope, komaeda will do anything for him only because that's how he is by nature, but there's a part of him that wishes to avoid destroying naegi's efforts when he appears to be trying so hard. as a fellow ultimate luck, the way he views naegi is different than any other person — a shining beacon that draws people in, a devishly handsome youth whose voice can serenade any person into falling head over heels... )

I couldn't imagine it, you deserve so much better.. I'm disgusting to look at, no one will join if I was there!

( not only that, from his complexion to how scrawny his body is — he could never be built like naegi and last in that club. )

You're being way too harsh on yourself!

[ take some self-esteem classes like what the fuck ]

I'm sure it'll be fine. We'll just be working out anyway, so appearances won't matter.

Is that really what the club is for?

[because the last time she thought she found a cool club she just found existentialism and she did not care for that shit at all.]

[ Hmm. Working out may not be a bad idea, all things considered. It'd be a good way to take his mind off of everything. ]

Are we going to be held to any goals?

[ sorry, was naegi speaking? leo was so focused on squinting at the sign that he doesn't click in to his surroundings until the veeeery last second. nevermind the fact that the signmaker was standing right in front of leo for the entire duration of his mildly noisy observation, humming under his breath and all...

but at least he does tune in. all brightly amused smiles, though there is the mild jolt that reveals he wasn't quite paying attention completely. off to a wonderful start here.

let's recover-- ]


Hm? Wahaha, hey, are ya trying to recruit me into your stick lifting club?

[ oh, no, there's no recovery at all. he's just swan diving into this terrible first impression. ]

I guess that casual, sloooow way of easing into it fits some people... I like stuff with a little more "bang bang woah", though! Wanna try again? Convince me!

[ just walk away now naegi he won't even go half the time even if he does sign up ]
