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.

[ 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?
no subject
... ]
Five keychains, coming right up!
[ It's all the same keychains npc-kun grabs and brings back to Crona, a set of evil eyes that npc-kun proudly jingles in front of their face. ]
They're going to love it, I'm sure!
no subject
Oh, the little eyes are cute! [ They jangle them above their head, trying to figure out what color should go to who. ]
Umm. Huh. Where did you get them, did you make them? Or is there someplace outside the school thats just full of eyes...
no subject
I have a secret source outside of school that's just full of eyes. If I had to make something, I'm better at things with wood or paper... plastic and curses are hard.
no subject
[ Theres a moment of silence before npc-kuns next words sink in. ]
W--wah!?! Curse? Cursed? Are you going to curse me I thought I was your employee? I can't deal with having another boss who beats me up!
no subject
[ Never mind whether these keychains are or are not cursed, npc-kun has to make this one thing clear first. ]
Who's your boss that beats you up? I'll beat them up.
[ Safely. From far away. Potentially with a heavy rock. ]
no subject
[ No offense but npc-kun doesn't look like much of a fighter...um but they don't really want to get hit or pinched so thats not an invitation! They lower the keychains to hang their head. Thinking about their mother... Lady Medusa... would she get mad at Crona for getting a job? That's probably not a betrayal right. She didn't pay them, it was different. They hoped. ]
And Ragnarok beats me up but he's in my blood so you'd have to beat me up too, so I'm sorry but if you do that then we're fighting!
Um...But if you don't then I don't. That's fair I like when things are fair.
no subject
And then Crona's talking about some blood parasite that npc-kun honestly doesn't want to think about. ]
I won't ever beat you up if you don't ever beat me up. It's a deal.
[ Mostly because they aren't much of a fighter, and even if Crona doesn't look it either, it's the weaker ones who never know to control their strength because they have no choice but to fight with all they have. ]
no subject
A second deal already? You're pretty good. I accept!
[ They tilt their head at npc-kun again, nodding a little..]
I'm thinking something right now, and so I'm going to say it... I'm wondering, why wasn't the store open before? This place is cool, so why did you only open it up at summertime? Is it for advertising reasons?
no subject
[ Doing shopkeeper things, you know. But they beam when Crona says the store is cool, because that means they're doing alright, they're on the right track. ]
Besides, if I opened at the start of the year, everybody's busy with new school things, and they haven't built up enough money or merit points to buy things with. It's just better to do it now. I can get set up before everybody gets back.
