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.

It's an investment. Because we're making posters.
[ So they can be away from their shop today, because what sales they miss out today, they'll receive ten-fold once school starts and everybody can see their orange and blue raccoons.
Reading, on the other hand, is simply self-indulgeant. ]
no subject
( maybe kamo-kun just isn't in the mood for studying, and that's fair. he'll let them off the hook for now. )
How about you give me some recommendations then? I could use a little more to do in this place.
no subject
...
Their recommendations are encyclopedias... ]
Hmm... What's something you don't know anything about, but want to? That's always a good place to start. Or if you're bored and don't feel like reading, you can always advertise my shop for me.
[ You know what's a good use of your time? Promoting rocks. ]
no subject
Speaking of which, you know about the occult club here, right? They're unofficial, but I'll bet they'd be interested if you brought some things over to them the way you did with survival club. Clamor seemed pretty keen on the tiger's eye you gave me before, and he's one of the ones in charge there, so.
( there you go, some suckers who would absolutely invest all their merit points and money into rocks. clamor might also be into encyclopedias, but that's neither here nor there. )
no subject
Clamor can't have your rock. I sold it to you.
[ It's like regifting, except it wasn't a gift. The concept of it is still rude. ]
And if Clamor's interested and he's in charge, then I don't have to advertise to them. They'd come regardless. The ones I have to work hard for are the ones who don't know... That's why I wanted your help with this.
no subject
( look, if he reaches into his pocket even now, he can pull it out and show them. safe and sound and with him probably 100% of the time, see? )
It doesn't sound like I get any points for getting Clamor interested either. ( tough crowd! ) Guess I'll just have to keep it up in that case.
no subject
npc-kun reaches out to take the rock from Amami's hand, running their thumb over it and holding it up to the light from the window, and they can't help but smile a little at it. Even if they're trying to get rid of all these rocks... they're still very pretty. This was a good choice. ]
That's right. Please continue to work hard for my sake.
[ ...
They hand the rock back. ]
I do appreciate it, though. You need to know.
no subject
he watches pretty fondly as kamo-kun inspects their little rock, smiling softly at it, and maybe amami's a little fonder of it too when he sees the way they look at it. )
Don't worry about it. You've got a ways to go to meet your goal, right? I still want to see it, y'know.
( so he's got to help them make it happen, just like he said. )
no subject
[ Charging for things like laundry tokens and rock gacha, yes, it can only get better from here. They know better than to have their eyes set on the end goal and miss what's in front of them, so they bring their attention back to Amami's paper, finding a blank spot next to the raccoon and pointing at it. ]
You sign here.
no subject
( any pens around here? amami's gonna take a quick glance, and then move to grab the nearest one, taking a moment to sign R. Amami where they've indicated for him in a small but neat scrawl that... probably doesn't actually look very neat to them, considering the auto-translate going on here, so i'll just font-family:times; it instead of using the actual font. good enough! )
It'll be hard miss these, so at least nobody will be able to say they didn't know about the store.
( kind of grinning — he can give himself that much credit. )
no subject
[ They sign theirs too, in kind of bubbly handwriting, but it's just their first name. Keigo. ]
It's like what my sister would always say: what makes art good isn't that it's pretty, but that it catches people's attention and makes them stop and think. That's the point of art. And why I know you'll be a good artist.
[ And also why they chose him to advertise despite his lack of art skill. These are definitely going to grab people's attention and make them stop and stare, and they couldn't ask for anything better. ]
no subject
Sounds like she knew what she was talking about. The two of you were pretty close then?
( it sounds like she left a real impression on them after all. honestly? it's nice. he's fond, and he can't help but want to learn a little bit more. )
no subject
[ Which is impressive only because npc-kun is so needy ]
She's the best! You would've liked her!
no subject
( kind of warm to hear about, if in a slightly bittersweet sort of way. )
But that means she was away from home a lot then, huh? If you mostly talked over the phone.
no subject
[ Makes them warm too, in a slightly bittersweet sort of way. ]
She and Mama left to go live with my grandparents when I was really little, so I'd only really gotten to talk to her on the phone. Mama too, I only remember her voice.
