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.

[Not the disappointed kid look. It's his only weakness.]

No! No, it's not-- [He manages to stop himself before he says something further incriminating and along the lines of, "It's not what it looks like!" In his experience, such phrases are usually reserved to be used when things are in fact exactly what they look like.] It's not a murder thing! Promise.

[He puts his hands up, palm out towards her as if to show he is unarmed and currently not a threat. ] I'm actually just looking for a sparring partner or two.

[closewithnewintown]

Oh, so you're just training. [sparring. that's. a word she vaguely knows the definition of.]

You didn't have to be weird about it, you know; plenty of people here train to fight things. [a shrug] Lots of people have said they'll teach me to fight, but they're all gone now.

[devouringdeep]

Life's more fun when you maintain an air of mystery. [He rocks on the balls of his feet, pushing his hands into his pockets with a thoughtful hum. Things are fairly dangerous when murderers are roaming the halls, so it would make sense to try and impart some defensive maneuvers to the more vulnerable.]

Well, while you're here I wouldn't mind showing you a thing or two, if you want. Do you know the proper way to throw a punch?

[closewithnewintown]

[shakes head] If it's something that's not very nice, you can pretty much assume I wasn't taught anything about it.

[which, y'know. she hadn't really considered that a problem before.]

[devouringdeep]

[He nods a little in understanding, thinking for a brief moment that she's a little like Tonia in that way. Kind by default.]

It wouldn't hurt to learn, just in case. You can break your thumbs if your form isn't right, which would be kind of awful. Especially if you find yourself in the middle of a fight when it happens.

[closewithnewintown]

Is it that hard? [she frowns, looking at her fist.] It looks easy when it happens in movies.

[devouringdeep]

[He's not entirely familiar with the concept of movies, although he's heard of them before due to Fontaine's video Kameras. The concept of people punching people on screen is one he has never considered, and after a brief moment's thought he files that away to investigate later. He's going to watch so many action movies]

It's not hard, it just requires some finesse. [He steps forward, making a fist and holding it out for her to see] You'll want to make sure you keep your thumbs outside like this, and when you punch you want to hit with your two big knuckles. You get more power that way.

[closewithnewintown]

More power... [she frowns, and lowers her arm.]

... I don't really want to hurt people. It's just... if somebody wanted to kill me right now, there's not a whole lot I could do about it.
