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.

If the time calls for it, I will. If murdering someone brings hope, and your rocks help me with that method... I'll follow through.
( as of now, he's on murder cooldown, which is a shame... everyone gets so disappointed when he kills, and when he wants to help everyone around him. )
You really like them, don't you?
no subject
[ The other option is people, which is ehh, or rocks, which is ehhhhhhh ]
no subject
( it's always a rock, and you don't just like hope... you love it. )
You promote them first and foremost before... the charms or the suncatchers.
( he looks at them, a slow blink as he tries to understand. rock )
no subject
[ They'd dump them outside, but, you know. They can apparently still make money off that junk, so it's worth investing the effort. ]
Besides, the charms and suncatchers are pretty. They sell themselves.
no subject
( how can npc-kun do this to their 🪨s. not like komaeda can imagine someone collecting this many, it's just... who has the time and patience, and is that bored in life. )
Are the rocks not just as pretty, they do have dull colors...
( proud of himself on the topic change... he thinks he gets to keep the pocket knife too. a win/win, but he doesn't finish his corn so that's slightly a loss, so... he holds it up to npc-kun, maybe they want some too. )
no subject
They can be pretty, if they're polished, but...
[ literally, what do you do with a rock? They can't say this out loud, though, because that would undermine sales. But seriously. Who collects rocks, why would anybody ]
Anyways, I won't sell them all in bulk. If I do that, the monopoly shifts to the buyer, who then drives market prices. It's got to be spread out amongst the masses.
no subject
That's if someone wants to use your wares afterwards, as for me... what would I want with rocks?
( let alone why would the market shift in his favor when he'd rather not have them at all. sure, he already purchased some, and they still sit in his pocket not having shown much use. )
There's someone I know... he really likes rocks apparently, and even Amami-kun confided in him.
( at the end of the day, amami got the rock so good reviews. he guesses... ymmv. ) I can bring him here next time.
no subject
Yes! How could I say no with that endorsement? Bring him here and we'll lock the door until he buys everything his wallet can afford, and then we'll set him free to obtain more money so he can come back!
no subject
isn't it against tulparata rules to lock them in the same room because they like freedom.
He doesn't really spend much, but I'm sure if you have really valuable rocks... he might change his mind.
( as the rock guy, he's got to be into the details... of rocks. )
I'll... supervise outside the door.
no subject
Doesn't spend much... What if you get him drunk beforehand?
no subject
...
( does he even drink? would komaeda even want to see him drunk... huh, the idea... is quite interesting. )
Are you able to offer me something alcoholic? ( there's always that one... sdr2 item, but listen... ) I don't mind trying.
no subject
[ If they could magically manifest alcohol... They could possibly provide grapes, and yeast, and a wooden barrel, but the rest would be up to Komaeda. ]
But I was thinking you could, because you're older.
no subject
( sighs, writes down something for the future. there's only one problem, and he's unable to leave this school to buy anything. of course, he wonders if he looks that old... does he look old? he's dying, but... he's still a pretty boy right? ah, he's pretty ugly, so he would be... old looking. unfortunate, how sad. )
I'm surprised they don't have the beverage that can get you drunk, but isn't alcoholic. If you can make something like that, it'd sell rather well among the students.
no subject
[ Thinking about how Rokkun is the one piecing together fake passports, but npckun is a good and honest shopkeeper who would never ]
What gets you drunk besides alcohol?
no subject
( why is they the good child, what the fuck is wrong with rokkun... breaking the law, doing bad shit... npc-kun honestly be showing him up. )
Hope. ( he says that so easily, as if it's the obvious. )
As for that drink, it's just a ... simple beverage. Well, we are in the 1990's, something that amazing hasn't been created yet. ( he sets down his canned corn, looking to them. ) Just like the answers to that equation I gave you, they haven't been written yet, but... they're yours.
no subject
Unfortunately, their skillset doesn't include convincing fake IDs, but that's no longer necessary with the suggestion that Komaeda knows a new drink that doesn't involve alcohol. ]
What is it? Is it something I can patent?
no subject
It's a type of sake, I'm sure we could make something like it, but I couldn't tell you the ingredients...
( maybe this is elizabeth's early birthday present, a beverage that's meant to be alcohol but tastes disgusting because she's into peculiar flavors. )
Perhaps it's made out of setsugekka...
( do they even have that here... he looks towards npc-kun, as if waiting for them to give him the answer. )
no subject
Setsu... what? Is that an animal?
no subject
I don't know, I thought you would. You are pretty smart.
( you know... they love their ego inflated. )
Do you want to try making it? I'm sure we have some food left over... ( making sake... unrealistic, but making some nasty ass drink for npc-kun to sell? real as hell. )
no subject
[ Of course they know what it is. Obviously.
But now they have to live the lie, trying to think about what drink they can even make that includes some sort of... exotic animal, they can't even remember what Komaeda said, setsu-something.
... ]
If I make it, you'll drink it, right? Every last drop. Promise me.
no subject
( yes, he has absolute faith in npc-kun to know something that simple. giving them the answer would do nothing, so he is interested in what they perceive it to be. which, he stands up properly, holding the corn to him as he walks towards the door of the student shop. )
Do you really want me to drink it, it may be non-alcoholic, but people can still get drunk off of it.
( ... )
no subject
[ npc-kun takes the corn and yeah they'll pour more of the kernels into their mouth while they think about when they'll have time to make a trip to the library so they can find a dictionary and look up this mystery word. The closest word they're going to be able to find would be "setulose" which means covered by setulae, which is short seta, which is hair. Essentially, any fuzzy animal will work. See, they were right.
...
They look up at Komaeda. The moment he reaches the threshold to the door, the pinky of his right hand starts to hurt, that, if he steps out the door, will result in the sharp stabbing pain of a hairline fracture on his pinky finger bone. ]
no subject
it's a visual as he stares at his hand, gauges where the pain starts, and if he could just force that off himself... he wouldn't have to feel it anymore. he takes a deep breath, trying to ball his hand into a fist. doesn't work that way, doing anything to that side of the his hand poses a problem, and instead he opts out on shaking his organic hand like it's been covered in water, and he's trying to get it off. with a soft smile, he watches as he does this, and that throbbing sensation gets worse every time. )
How unlucky... ( he comments, which makes him gasp almost immediately, because that can only mean one thing for them, or well, him. ) Are you coming, something interesting might happen if we hurry.
( his pinky finger is probably red around the area, but that doesn't stop him from holding out the same hands towards them to take. )
no subject
You'll break another bone for every step. I told you it'll still be considered stealing.
no subject
learn something new every day, all because of a pocket knife that he took... bound by such mysterious laws that komaeda looks down at npc-kun. it sounds exciting actually, just a small item being enough to break his bones, break him to pieces, and the truth behind the matter probably isn't good for him. he follows the others wants by taking a step to the side so that he's no longer in harm's way — )
Are those rules because of you...
( like he's thinking about it... inflicting pain on himself isn't out of the ordinary, gives him a chance to feel something. )
Even though you're with me... I'm still a thief in your eyes?
