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.

You should just a little. But I also think you're a liar.
[ Because who wouldn't judge someone who comes up asking for green meat? Nasty asses. ]
In ears... seem like I'd lose them easier, so something over-ears. [ He holds up the mechanical pencil. ] This, too.
no subject
It's okay! If you lose them, you can always come back and buy another!
[ gestures towards the in-ears that are also wireless, things that would only last half a day before mysteriously disappearing if he's bad at keeping track of his things. But if he insists, npc-kun reaches for traditional headphones that look the most comfortable for Akira to try, and peers over at the pencil. Like. There are plenty of yellow no. 2s around the school that nobody should be hurting for writing utensils, but sometimes homework is less painful when you're writing with something cute. ]
We have 0.5 lead and 0.7 too— which one do you want? Both? Three of each?
no subject
Akira reaches up and smacks them upside the head. ]
Ah, sorry, you were annoying me.
no subject
npc-kun's head dips forward with the smack before they turn and look back up at Akira, surprise but no anger on their face. It's a sort of... ready acceptance. ]
If you're really sorry, buy a rock.
[ Who needs apologies when there's $$$ to be made ]
no subject
No. [ Again, flat. ] Even convivence store employees aren't as money hungry as you, what exactly do you earn selling this? Since it's part of the school doesn't it go straight back to the school?
no subject
[ Their shop is maybe not legal. The money goes directly into npc-kun's pocket and in exchange...
... ]
We have an agreement. Don't worry about it.
no subject
I'm not worried about it, but what if someone wanted to work here -- [ He pauses briefly, looking around to see if he spots anyone who could hear him. ] would it basically be like working for a gang?
no subject
Yeah. You answer to me, the oyabun, and in exchange for collecting dues from the other students, we offer them protection.
no subject
[ Cause he's got a mechanical pencil and years of issues. ]
no subject
No, actually, this is okay, they've decided, because running a gang isn't like running a business— Akira doesn't need fair wages or hours or anything like that. ]
It's a real gig. Be my debt collector and I'll give you a 1% cut of the profits.
no subject
At least try to bullshit me with 5% if it's all going straight to you.
no subject
[ Compared to the 0% they might've snuck into the contract somehow otherwise, if Akira weren't somebody who would beat them up with zero conscience. ]
Take it or leave it.
no subject
Fine. [ He extends his hand. ] And if I see you tryin' to fuck me over I'll break your fingers.
no subject
You won't see it happen!
[ Whether or not fucking over happens... If Akira doesn't find out, then it never happened. ]
no subject
[ Also... yeah, this all just to prepare him for whatever the fuck Seiji has in store for him. Though he doesn't know how much debt collecting he'll be doing in comparison to stand there, look scary, and potentially start beating the shit out of someone the moment they swear they won't talk.
Akira then raises his hand holding the mechanical pencil. ]
Can I get this for free, then?
no subject
... ]
You can have it for free if you draw a rhinoceros for me. It doesn't matter if it's ugly.
no subject
[ Akira looks at him, eyes just slightly vacant. He's considering walking out the door but then realizes that it would be easier just to draw, so he squats down and opens a random mini notepad. Give him a minute cause he has to remember what those little horned bitches look like -- also, yes, he's using merchandise but they didn't hand him any paper for free so...
give him a minute and he shows them this masterpiece. ]
Here.
no subject
Haha! This is great, thank you! I'm going to hang this in the halls to advertise!
no subject
[ That's stupid... this is stupid! Oh well. ]
Just don't put my name on it and do whatever the fuck you want, I guess.
no subject
[ It's a good thing... sort of. For them and their store it is. ]
no subject
And the job -- you'll just contact me for whenever you need something?
no subject
[ He gets a pencil for all this effort, was it worth it ]
no subject
[ They gotta keep them trapped like mice. ]
I'm usually at the ethics club after school.
no subject
[ The maze has expanded, but they're all still trapped inside a box. ]
...Is it fun?
no subject
[ Just a predator sprinting after his prey. ]
I don't care, but a guy there said if I wanna keep an eye on him that I'll have to be there.
