August Event
Please let August be better than July I'm begging
✽ Due to 10+ classes raising their ranks last month, ALL characters have access to the courtyard via the door in the locker area and the windows facing the courtyard.
✽ Characters with 1-10 tallies are not able to get any further past the end of the courtyard before they fall unconscious; characters with 10-20 can get halfway to the pool building before the same happens to them; characters with 20+ tallies can reach the pool building but unfortunately, the door is on the other side. There are no windows on the walls, but from the clocktower, characters can see that it has a glass ceiling, though they are unable to see inside.
✽ Outside, there is no breeze, and it occasionally rains ash.
✽ Characters going up to the 4th floor will feel that the door is warm to the touch, and will occasionally open (see: missions)
✽ The student store opens, with the door propped open with a doorstopper. The npc running the storeis currently not interested in conversation, but may be available for threading in the future and is available for threading in the toplevel below. Please see the updated bonus activity page for more information.
✽ Posted on the bulletin board and also handed to each club president before break is the notice that proof of club activity is due at the end of break. Please submit these proofs in the toplevel below.
✽ There is another ad on the bulletin board advertising an exchange student program for the month of October. Applications will be taken until the end of August, and there is a 300 merit point fee. Sister cities include Death City, Devildom, Ishigami Village, Lanling, LazyTown, and Maiami City.

[ Tricks or not, he would've thought any opportunity would be a blessing, and he knows not to question blessings. Either way, he waits in the doorway for Nene to step into the courtyard and he'll follow, or turn back around to go inside and he'll follow either way. ]

( and she's tired of that. don't get her wrong, she's happy to be able to touch some grass again, holy shit. and she likes the courtyard, really- she can see the faint remains of the origami flowers she'd given to kazuki-san in the bushes as they leave the building. it's hot and stifling but it's freer than a classroom on all levels. even with the wisteria tree looming above, tall as it is. )

If we're being jerked around... at least there's times when the line is lax, right? Enjoying the time we have before we're locked in again isn't a bad idea, then. Being inside all the time's going to make people crazy.

( NENE
she's right though. still, if they can be free for a bit... absolutely no one can judge her for just flopping backwards onto the grass, legs in the air for a split second before they fall too. she's tired. she wants to touch grass. she wants to close her eyes and wake up in her real garden. )
It's just... I feel like I can't truly enjoy any good thing that comes our way because it gets taken again, or because it's coming with a price none of us can see until it's too late. And I hate thinking like that. It suuuuucks!

There are things you can enjoy that can't be taken away. Like food.
[ And... actually, food is the only thing he can think of. But it's his go to— eating is a singular experience, good food is good for the soul, and it brings people together without a single word necessarily needing to be exchanged between them. ]

... They did try to substitute it with people once. ( N E N E ) We got normal stuff back though, but... ... It's been a lot these past few months, Minato-kun. But, you're right. ... I'm sorry, it's- it's been a lot.
( she's supposed to be better than this. )
At least we're still here.
no subject
[ ... She doesn't have to answer that. ]
When "At least we're still here" is the bright side... that's kind of bad, isn't it? ...being here is important, though. Because as long as you're here, and you exist, you can change things.

Well. I don't know, because I don't want to eat people.
( ANYWAYS note to self throw out remaining hope meat just in case and pray it doesn't restock for the rest of summer ethics club try and fricken stop her-- )
Oh, it suuuuper is. But you're right. ( so she'll keep on struggling, keep on learning and cooking and mending and making, until it's her turn. and when it comes, she'll go kicking, screaming and breaking a few fingers.
it's fine. she's fine! )
