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.

[ S-such speed!? Before they realized what was happening they got trapped! This person isn't a weakling at all! They're already blocked the door...perhaps Crona can hide behind npc-kuns counter if they aren't using it. ]
Um...okay. [ This is how shopping works, apparently so they nod at them. ] That makes sense! But how would I carry one of everything...
no subject
Not to worry! I've got plenty of backpacks for sale, and at a premium, I can rent out store space for you to keep your purchases until you've given them away!
no subject
Wow... [ They turn around to look at the store. That would be a lot of space! But wait...] Wouldn't that make me the shopkeeper though? I couldn't do that! People would talk to me and ask me things and I don't know how to answer questions, especially about store stuff. You should keep your space. I can just put it all in everyones homeroom and they can pick it out.
[ Maybe it would take a few trips but they could just dump rocks in the corner of every classroom. That would be perfect. ]
no subject
[ Preferably, they will be doing all the talking, because what if Crona sells something at a reasonable price?? ]
But your idea is much better! There's fifteen homerooms, right? Oh, and you'll need to get something for everybody, or else they'll feel left out!
[ 300 sales, let's go ]
no subject
You really are a nice person. I don't know how to deal with that. [ Way to many nice people! ]
Oh sorry, leaving someone out is mean right? That's ethics. So to get everyone something is... Fifteen times... [ They're trying to count on their fingers. The fact that Yogen has legitmatly taught Crona math is coming in clutch rn. They actually learned their times tables. ] How many people are in a class again?
no subject
[ Ethics has no place here unless it works in their favor, but okok, let's see... ]
Every class has twenty... thirty? [ better overestimate than not, they decide. ] Let's go with fifty students, so we're for sure nobody's left out. Fifty times fifteen is...?
no subject
[ Math. ]
Fifty is five with a zero. So I do my fives table times fifteen and then add the zero back... So thats seventy five...and then I add the zero back and thats seventy hundred and a five. [ So close... ]
Do I know that many people???? I-I I don't think you're store has enough???
no subject
[ don't cheat them out of 45 sales, npc-kun's gotta be quick on the math to be a good shopkeeper ]
It's okay if you don't know them, right? Giving gifts to strangers make them happy, and if they're happy, they're nice back to you! I have lots of little gifts too— look, look! There's enough for everyone!
[ GESTURES GRANDLY AT THEIR ROCK COLLECTION ]
no subject
[ Ok now they're getting a bit loud for Crona, who has no idea how to deal with anyone high energy, so they just raise their hands and nod at npc-kun frantically. ]
I a-already said okay!? It's all really nice stuff. [ The rock collection looks Very Shiny and all sorts of bracelets and keychains. Truely a house of luxery. ] So um, Are you going to help me carry it?
no subject
[ Luckily for Crona, the energy dissipates immediately. ]
Not unless you pay me. Can you pay me, or are you going to have to pawn something?
no subject
[Crona tilts their head at npc-kun. We all knew this was coming. Crona has zero concept of money beyond vague generalizations. They haven't ever needed to buy anything before.]
Do you want me to do something for you?
no subject
[ They also tilt their head, peering at Crona as if to see if they're just playing dumb or if they're serious.
... ]
But I guess indentured servitude is okay too. I'd ask you to help sell my wares, but you don't want to talk to people, right? [ ... ] Are you okay standing and walking for long periods of time?
no subject
[They lean a little further to the side. Will Npc-kun match them? They wanna know! ]
I’m great at standing I do it all the time. That’s really easy to deal with. If you do something for me I can stand as long as you want.
[ Last words of someone about to be 3 million yen in debt ]
no subject
Alright! I'm going to make you a sandwich board and your job for the rest of the school year is to stand in the hallways between classes and advertise my shop! You don't even have to say anything; you can just direct everybody to me and I'll take care of the rest.
no subject
[ The idea of Crona standing pathetically in the hallway holding a sign. Ugh. I had to take a minute. ]
Everyone would look at me... [ A beat as they stop drooping over dramatically to consider. ] If you make the sign big enough that I can hide behind it...then I can do that. I guess.
no subject
I can do that. There'll be enough space for you to fit underneath the boards.
[ In which case npc-kun's not even going to need Crona, it might as well be a standing sandwich board, but whatever. ]
...Is it different? Me talking to you, me looking at you?
no subject
[ They've been getting more confident around individual people, thank you Komeada, Nene, Amami. Everyone here really, every interaction with Crona that hasn't ended with anything scary...has made them a lot more willing to give new people the benefit of the doubt. Its why they wanted to get everyone a gift in the first place. Gifts are how you say thank you when you don't know how to talk to people. ]
You're not too tall...and we aren't fighting. And you haven't yelled at me once. So this is okay. Ummmm, but crowds are hard to deal with? I guess it doesn't make any sense if I really think about it.
no subject
[ To be fair, dealing with nice people is a lot easier than the alternative, and if they're yelled at then they'd just turn that person away from their store instead of continuing to interact with them. They also wish they were a little taller...
npc-kun wouldn't say they're good with people, but they're good at talking at people, and therein lies the difference. ]
If somebody's mean to you, I don't want them in my store, even if they're rich. It's easier to advertise to one person than a crowd anyways, because you'll have their full, undivided attention.
no subject
[ Npc-kun doesn't mince words. They know they're weird!! They're sorry!!! They didn't choose to be this way, they don't know where they went wrong in life to end up afraid of everything!]
I don't want to make you loose money. That would be bad ad-ver-tis-ing. If someone is mean to me and I think they're rich, I can just hit them with the sign and give you the money... [ They could probably deal with that. ]
Is that a good deal?
no subject
[ Oh that's what Komaeda brought up too, why npc-kun doesn't just kill people and rob their corpses ]
But you have to do it from behind when nobody is looking so they can't pin it on you, and you can only knock them out, not kill them. And then we have a deal. I need you( r services ) so you can't get in trouble on my behalf.
no subject
[ Crona doesn't know you're supposed to shake hands over a deal, so they just hold up a hand for a high five. Maka showed them that once! ]
That's easy. Most people here look pretty weak if I hit 'em a little. So not killing is fine. [ They pause. ] Does killing get you in trouble? Everyone who killed so far just got yelled at a bit. [ They don't really have any reason to attack anyone, personally but its confusing to see someone so anti-murder. ]
Okay okay. But...If I work for you, can you help me pick out stuff for people now?
no subject
I don't think I'll get in trouble, but if people are dead they can't be my customer, so it's my best interest if people stay alive.
[ It's less anti-murder and more pro-profit, or whatever. Either way, they seem pleased with this arrangement and npc-kun is not one to go back on their deals. ]
But okay, it's gift time! I still think rocks are the way to go, because look at them... they're all unique and nobody can say you're a lazy gift giver when it's all different. But we also have keychains here that are light and easy to carry around, and we'll be able to leave them in people's desks in record time! If you can't decide, we can always go with both options!
no subject
[ So they should ensure as many people are alive as possible so the shopkeeper can get money from them, so Crona can get gifts for people they like. This works as a functioning moral system, right? ]
How did you know I'm terrible at deciding? I think everyone should get a rock...mhm. Because everyone is special and unique. But if you can give me some keychains, maybe I can put those in my friends lockers before the rocks happen. Counting out seventy fifty hundred rocks will take a while, right?
no subject
[ They're going to have to continue being shopkeep-kun to everybody else, though. Gotta bribe their name out of them. ]
So if you ever need to decide anything, you can come to me. For the rocks, we'll just take 'em all. I'm sure I have more than seventy fifty hundred, so whatever's left over will go back to the shop. How many friends do you have?
[ They don't have nearly as many keychains, so hopefully Crona doesn't have seventy fifty hundred friends. ]
no subject
I have a lot of people to get opinions from now, sorry. I think if I get to many opinions in my head I might explode...
[ They don't have seventy fifty hundred friends...yet. Give me a year to get them a social circle that big. ]
Oh, right! Sorry I got distracted. I need one for Komeada, Amami, one for Nene and hmm...I haven't spoken to Mr.Lucifer in a while but him too. Dito is nice but I'm not sure if he'd like a keychain...but he got me a gift so I guess I should repay him. So thats about five keychains?
