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.

npc-kun is trying hard... they're undeterred ]
It sounds like you're going to need lots and lots of fuel, then! If you buy out my entire stock today, I can be back with even more tomorrow. Don't you worry, we'll get you enough to burn someone alive!
no subject
also why didn't rokkun leave his WALLET!? imagine putting komaeda on the spot like this. )
Hm... How sad, so you're saying that even what you have here isn't enough...?
( sighs, but there's some cool deaths that can be done with fuel... lower these prices. okay, it's fine, komaeda will just cross his arms with a sigh... a little sad, he's looking at the ground...
sad... )
no subject
Yeah, that's right. If you want me to stock more lighters, you're going to have to buy out some of the other stuff to make room.
[ Don't sigh like that. Look, here is an easy solution to all your problems. ]
no subject
he doesn't even want lighters, he just wants to know why it's blue! of course, money wins npc-kun's heart, huh? )
...Sigh.
( an even bigger sigh, this is what they call emotional manipulation? )
I really don't want to buy them all... because I can't even use them to make myself happy... I feel depressed.
no subject
[ npc-kun cares... about money. The only emotion that Komaeda can manipulate that matters is $$$ ]
no subject
( guess that's what komaeda goes to talk about counselor about, sighs, it's hard being rich. )
How much are you paying for your sessions? Depending, there might be good luck that'll come your way.
( like???? maybe some people will drop dead when they come back to school, and then npc-kun has sooo many pockets to pick filled with cash. )
no subject
Sessions are free! Any and all purchases are final and at the patient's own expense.
no subject
Then let's take a seat, and you can give me a therapy session.
( they can go sit down together somewhere, and if worse comes to worse, he can ask for their name to back them into a corner. sounds legit. )
no subject
[ They maybe have a chair behind the counter, but it doesn't matter when they lean their elbows against the surface— Komaeda can't retail therapy while sitting, and so npc-kun will stand in solidarity too. Mostly for ease of gesturing to what wares they have on display. ]
Since it's your first session, we'll ease you into it! Grab a yogen no tori hoodie off the rack of there, and give me a fat stack of cash.
no subject
Why should I? I like the one I'm wearing now.
( because it has a 55 on it, and comes from his previous high school he attended so he's not going to change. also, imagine komaeda not wearing this ugly disaster of a hoodie??? )
We should start small! Hmmm... You have to take teeth and fingernails first, that's what every penny pincher wants.
no subject
[ holds out their hand, sure, we'll do it your way, weird boy ]
Give me your teeth, and then buy them back from me.
no subject
( how does that sound for a fair trade? sounds perfect. )
no subject
Okay.
no subject
just one, he's not going for two. )
no subject
Whoa, hey, buddy! You break it, you buy it, and you can't afford me.
no subject
Hm? How do you know? Ah, you're so concerned with money... why not give me a try?
( maybe retail therapy is teaching him new things, thanks npc-kun! )
I'm sure I can afford you after, but I can pluck off every nail free of charge too...~
no subject
[ Maybe the library ghost... no, she wouldn't have any money ]
Are you going to buy anything? I'll have to start charging for time spent loitering in my store.
no subject
( here we go, let him raise a hand so he can cup npc-kun's chin to get a better look at them. also, he's placing emphasis on a certain aspect. )
Are worth more than others, besides, you aren't too unfortunate to look at.
( he says that with a wide smile, and makes sure to take his hand back after. ) Anyway... we're friends after all. So our time together is priceless!
no subject
[ npc-kun's been in the business long enough to know about depreciating value once you lose a fingernail or two, and that they'd get a much better deal as an all-or-none ]
And you're not my friend. A friend would give me money. A lot of money. For free. Prove your friendship if you really mean it.
no subject
( listen, the people who call komaeda a friend has never really asked for money? well, he's used to people dying and gaining more money so he can see that... npc-kun is into buying friendships.
sighs, what an unhealthy lifestyle. maybe love is the only thing that's free. )
Let's talk about your hope while we go outside.
( yep, he's ignoring them. )
no subject
npc-kun leans back in their seat in a show of "I'm not getting up until you show me the $$$" ]
No can do. I'll be losing money every second I close shop. Pay me and I'll go outside.
no subject
( no one is coming, npc-kun can shirk off on their duties just this once! )
If you take a few of yours wares outside of here, you can find other customers.
no subject
Maybe nobody's come because you're here. The only way I'm coming out is if you pay me, or I clear out all my wares for the day. Every last rock.
no subject
Nope! I'm easily ignored, but you're recently opened, and who has came...
( know anyone else, shopkeep-kun? it's fine, komaeda will be here to shoulder their burden. )
I'm lonely anyway, and I don't have time to kill — ( sad sigh. ) I want to be with you for now, so if you grab a few rocks, we can go sell them to ( some poor, unfortunate fools. ) willing customers.
no subject
If you're lonely, I got just the thing! Fill your heart up with the variety of keychains and posters we have for sale— I've got a couple of mascot plush toys in the back as well, a perfect substitute for friendless losers who don't have any!
[ should've opened shop after summer break; those other students are the real money makers, those who've got real cash to spare or have murderspree'd their way into hundreds of merit points. sighs... ]
