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 store is 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.

[ They don't really care for soulmates or friends— unless Subaru proves to be filthy rich, then maybe. Still, somebody actually showing interest in their wares is a large step up from Komaeda who just humored them, so they go over to their box of rocks and pull it off the shelf to set on the counter. ]

Sure you can! Take your time looking— they're all unique, one of a kind! Fall in love with all of them and come back to buy them all!

[ The precious gemstones are stored in the back with all the other bonus activity items, but the ones up front aren't bad either: there's normal everyday rocks like you'd see on the side of the road, and there's smooth flat rocks that'd be perfect for skipping, and heavy jagged rocks that can be easily held and smashed against somebody's skull, and then a small handful of polished rocks that prove that even normal boring rocks can be polished to a sheen and made beautiful. ]

[if npc-kun wants to foster rocks off on subaru they can, he looks thrilled at the polished and skipping ones in particular.]

Man... if only I had some place to skip with these... [touching the wares.... they are so skippable.] Did you just pick 'em up 'cause you liked them?

[the rocks in gen, he's moving on to look at the polished ones with an apparent discerning eye (he just wants to stay in the orbit of The Person Who Touched Him)]

[adsum]

[ the internal light switch flips off ]

Not really... Most of them I got from somebody else. They were his precious treasures, but then he died, so they're mine and I can do what I want with them now.

[starrypoint]

Oh... Do you think they're haunted?

[rocks can't be haunted.... maybe.]

[adsum]

By what, his ghost? No way.

[ Rocks can be haunted, but not these. They're pretty sure. ]

So! Which one do you want?

[starrypoint]

This one!

[s'pretty brown one with lighter brown streaks in it. polished. pretty.]

It's so smooth~. Your friend must've tumbled these for a while, or found 'em in a river~. I liked doing that when I was a kid too.

[adsum]

Is that fun?

[ npc-kun, on the other hand, picks up one of those hefty skull-smashing rocks, giving it a little toss up and down in their hand ]

There's a river by our house, so he picked a lot of them up there.

[starrypoint]

[feeling vaguely threatened rn. as a player. subaru's got no self-preservation]

Yeah! It's a lot of fun... And if you say "our", then I guess he was more your brother than just a friend? Sorry for your loss.

[bet they gets a lot of those though... why are you selling your maybe brother's stuff buddy]

[adsum]

[ window shoppers get rocks to the head. which they'll have to then pay for bc they've sullied the wares.

... ]

It was a while ago, so I'm okay now! Thanks, though.

[ ... ... ... ]

Can I ask you a favor? I'll give you another rock if you say yes.

[starrypoint]

[NPCKUN PLEASE!!!

but at the asking of the favor, and another rock to boot, subaru perks up]

Sure thing! What's up~?

[adsum]

Show these rocks off to everybody you meet and tell them where you got it! You clearly love them a lot, almost as much as he did, so if everybody sees how happy they make you, then they'll come here and buy them too!

[ a rock in exchange for Subaru being their walking advertisement onegai ]

[starrypoint]

No problemo, boss, you got it! They'll be selling like hotcakes once I'm done with 'em~.

[maybe. otherwise he'll just buy them himself and give them as gifts. maybe his fanclub would like some when they get back.]

[adsum]

[ That'd be just as well- doesn't matter who buys them as long as they're all sold, but since Subaru said he doesn't have any more money on hand at the moment, his business here is done and npc-kun places their hands on his shoulders and turns him towards the door. ]

I'm counting on you, okay? Work hard for my sake!
