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.

☽ Student Store
( it's been a while since he'd seen one, honestly- but it makes him smile just a bit. )
I can't say that I know a lot about clocks, but I can try. What do you want to know?
no subject
[Well... it's Sidney. Noah can trust Sidney, obviously. So, he glances between the clocks for sale and the one in his hands, and then sort of pulls Sidney aside.]
This clock... I got it when I first came here. [Or perhaps, "woke up" is the better term.] It... it's four seconds behind, as you can see. For some reason, after midnight, if I'm holding it, I can still hear things for four seconds after. It doesn't seem like much, but... it's weird, right?
no subject
Interesting... I wonder. ... In those four seconds, have you ever heard anything unusual?
no subject
...no. Just normal sounds that you'd hear at any other point in the day, before everything goes silent again. It doesn't work in the library, though — if I go into the library with it, it's still silent. If I give it to someone else, they get four extra seconds of sound, but they have to be touching it somehow. Like... if it's in their pocket or whatever...
...but I don't know why. That's why when I saw them in the store... I dunno, I thought maybe someone would know why.
no subject
I wonder if turning it back further will give you more time to hear? ... Otherwise, I'm afraid I don't know. It might be something unique to the watch- like an... enchanted (?) item, or something.
no subject
[Depends on the day, honestly.]
So it has to be enchanted somehow, but I don't know how. Enchanting isn't my area of expertise, and I can't find a magic circle on it anywhere either. I guess I just... I just have this until further notice.
...not sure what a whole four seconds is going to do for me, though.
no subject
( so sidney's going to gently ruffle his hair! still, what a situation. what does it mean? what could the four seconds grant him? perhaps... he hasn't found the right place for it to matter yet? )
I've no basis for this train of thought, but wouldn't it be interesting if we could do the same thing to the clocktower? Perhaps it'd be more effective.
no subject
[It's a lot of gears and he's pretty sure you need a really big key and isn't there like a spring or something that could snap back and potentially behead him? Oh, maybe Noah can get someone he doesn't like to do it— haha what he didn't just think that.]
Maybe... someone might be able to enchant the clocktower... I think there's some kind of enchantment over the school that prevents sound from being heard during the night, though... maybe we have to break that...
[He knows a little bit about enchantments! From Clamor! But nothing the fuck else, like how much energy it would take to break an enchantment of this size, if that's even what this is, or how to make a big enchantment on a big clock so that they can mess with time, or time magic at all, he doesn't know that. If Harque were here... no, he shouldn't think like that.]
...I don't know, actually. Nevermind.
no subject
( when noah stops though, he just ruffles his hair. )
No, it's a good idea. We can talk to Clamor about it. It's at least something, isn't it?
no subject
Y...yeah, we can. He'd know.
[Clamor knows everything, after all.]
All I'm good at is shadow magic, so I don't know anything about enchantments. ...my brother was good at them, too. But as for winding a big clock like that... if we didn't do it with magic, wouldn't we need a key or something? One of those huge [and Noah doesn't know the word for the shape of a clock key so he settles on] windy-uppy key things?
no subject
That's still more than me, really... though. After this one incident, I was told I had an oddly soothing presence.
( also, video game protag vision, but that's a bit harder to explain succinctly. )
As for winding a clocktower... admittedly, I don't know. The biggest I've worked with is a regular grandfather clock. But I do like learning new things.
no subject
[Noah's nodding to himself as he states that, like, yep. That's it. That's Sidney. Calm and collected and easy to be around. It's honestly one of his best qualities, especially for someone like Noah, prone to anxiety and always freaking out about something inside despite the stoic facade he likes to maintain.]
It's kind of like the moon. Moon magic is associated with healing and rest, um... so. You know.
no subject
Is that so...?
... I went into a cursed manor, once. ( easiest way to put it. ) It'd grant people certain enhanced traits, for certain things. One of them was that if I was in the area, people would be less inclined to panic- not just a natural presence, but something more. I could also see... the tracks left by enemies, and useful items seemed to stand out more to me. It's odd, having all that gone now.
( sidney i swear you will regain things soon your time is coming- )
