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.

[she smiles to hear it, and navigates her way to the desk.]

I have something of an unusual request to make of you, if you're willing to hear it - a friend of mine recommended I at least try to inquire.

[wholeheartedly, she's expecting to not be able to be helped.]

Is there a way to get books with braille or raised type? I know that break is over in September, and I'll wait for the librarian if I have to, but...it would be nice to not have to be so patient.

[or if you just have a really nice rock to hold. that might be okay as well.]

[adsum]

[ They have so many nice rocks, please let them sell her rocks. Any thought of doing so is preceded by silence, though, a thoughtful little hum... ]

I think— [ wait, no, they gotta sell this, make the sale first and figure out the details later ]

Yeah! I can definitely get you a book like that! You don't need a specific one, do you? What do you want to read?

[decrypter]

[SHOPKEEPER-SAN IT'S OK...SHE'LL STILL BUY A ROCK IF SHE CAN'T BUY A BOOK.]

Anything that's not our textbooks, truthfully...I've read the ones I have a few times by now. But also, please don't strain yourself. I can certainly survive a little longer with what I have.

[if you think she's letting go of that hesitation she's heard, she's not.]

[adsum]

[ I feel like Helena is the one person npc-kun can convince to buy a skull smashing rock ]

I'm okay! Since this is a commission, you're going to pay enough for it to be worth my while! For a book in braille you've never ever read before... 500,000 yen with the new customer discount!

[decrypter]

[oh. okay. go into massive debt or spend a month trying to entertain herself...hm.

with all the kindness, gentleness, and sweetness her heart can possibly offer:]

I'm afraid I'll have to think on that, but it's wonderful to know that the option is here, and that you're so generous as to give a discount.

[it makes the blow softer, right? right?]

I also heard that you brought rocks to the survival club - thank you for that. They actually came in quite handy recently.

[adsum]

[ Their sale... no... Helena may not be able to see npc-kun visible deflate, but it's clear enough in their voice that drops all that energy and gets smaller. ]

It did?

[ Their bullshit rocks? Really? ]

What'd you use them for?

[decrypter]

They helped me secure down the edges of my sunshade tent in the courtyard. They've been easier to work with than trying to track down stakes.

[she would probably use a skull smashing rock as a weight for something. or maybe to break open nuts.]

It was kind of you to bring them to us.

[adsum]

[ Oh... It's not like they brought the rocks out of the goodness of their heart; it was a business opportunity. But who are they to reject the compliment? ]

No problem! I'm glad I could help! [ business opportunity... ] Those rocks at the club were loaners, but what do you say about purchasing some for your own? You'll never have to fear your sunshade tent blowing away!

[decrypter]

That depends entirely on the price they are. I can only guess at the worth of what I have to trade.

[please don't take everything she owns, she isn't rich herself...]

[adsum]

They're only 10,000 yen each.

[ Wow! What a bargain. ]

But... I guess the economy's in shambles or something, because a lot of people don't have money like they used to. So if you have something to pawn, I'll accept that too.
