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.

Wh—!
[If he looks and sounds shocked, it's because he is, excuse his wide eyes and the protesting little squeak from his mouth as he reaches for Clamor and then decides against it in case his hand catches fire, pardon? This is how we're testing—
Oh, it's fine.
...]
What was the heart attack for?! Did you have to go that far?
[He's not actually mad! Don't mistake his yelling for actual anger, this is his alarmed yell! He's alarmed because what if his notebook actually caught fire! Clamorrrrrr!!!
When Noah takes (read: snatches) the journal back, he's very quick to check it over for damage before he slumps a bit, looking over at Clamor with the tiniest of pouts. Sheesh... this guy.]
...did you actually light your first spellbook on fire? I wonder why... [Rolls his eyes... teenagers are so dramatic.]
no subject
You wouldn't be confident it worked if you didn't see it for yourself, right? Don't worry, I checked all your work for a reason. Just be careful with the page that has the circle on it and it should be fine from now on.
Haha... well, if you think about it, it's better to mess something up when it's new and empty than after you've put all your spells into it. But I may have been a little overconfident back then. [might've been trying to show off, except he didn't let the ink dry before closing it and it smudged... rip spellbook the first we hardly knew thee] Lucky for you, you have a fantastic teacher looking out for you, so there was never a risk of something going wrong. I know how important your journal is to you.
... Sorry, I guess it was a bit mean. [it was funny and educational, but he does feel kinda bad...] I just wanted you to be proud of yourself. You really did do a great job.
no subject
Jerk.
But his faux anger wears off pretty quickly, and Noah stares down at the sigil he drew again, the one he enchanted himself... yeah, he is proud of himself, actually. For once in his life, he thinks he did something pretty damn good, even if it seems small.]
...well, I had a fantastic teacher helping me, so that's why. [Credit where credit is due, after all.] I wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise, you know. I'm no good with this type of thing.
[Oops bye there goes the proud-of-himself thing.]
no subject
He pulls his own spellbook back into his lap, idly flipping through the pages of notes and incantations and spell circles.]
You don't have to be so modest, you know. I think you're a lot better than you give yourself credit for. You never asked me how many tries a spell like that would normally take for a beginner. If it was easy, don't you think more people would be using magic like that?
[most books, unfortunately, are not fireproofed. so it's not something just anyone can do without applying themselves.]
no subject
[He might be staring down at his notebook again like he's still shocked in the meantime. Do not perceive him. Honestly, he knew it wouldn't be easy, but... maybe he's a little more experienced than an average student, since he's been doing magic since a child. Still, though, it's vastly different than what he's used to.
He needs another book. He's going to put a protection spell on a random library book for practice. Haruka would probably like it, right?]
...ten? Twenty? How many did it take for you? [Beat, and then Noah gets a self-satisfied little smirk and adds,] How many spellbooks did you lose to fire?
no subject
You know... I've been teaching Natsume about celestial magic. Maybe you'd like to join us next time? It draws from both the sun and the moon, so you might have a knack for it.
no subject
Yeah, I'll come to the next lesson. Um... [He doesn't want Natsume showing him up, though. Hmph.] When do you guys usually meet anyhow? Not that I do much anyway, but you know.
[Him doing celestial magic is still an interesting thought. He was always pretty good at the whole "darkness" part of it until the moment where his magic became fucked up, it's just the other stuff that eludes him. Making stars and stuff... sounds complicated.]
