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 store is 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.

[ They yank their arm back with a yelp, falling backwards onto their ass so they can reflexively kick out at ...the ghost possessing Komaeda

... ]

[commences]

W- What are you doing?

( sighs, if they're going to kick him! at least kick him until he's dead...

which, komaeda has a little of the drink leaking from the side of his mouth, and it's not blood thank god! )

...I drunk it.

( ... ) I want seconds.

( ... )

[adsum]

[ ... ]

I didn't do anything.

[ ... ]

Here.

[ They hop up onto their feet to take the pitcher and hand it over to Komaeda who is presumably still lying on the ground. Finish the rest.

... ]

[commences]

( they don't take it because... )

Your turn.

( drink it with him. )

[adsum]

No. I made it for you.

[ The polite thing to do would be to drink what you're given, open up ]

[commences]

It's like a smoothie, and I never shared one with... ( a pause, he has to catch his breath... ) ... someone before.

( ... )

[adsum]

I had a bite when I was prepping. It was delicious.

[ The first bite of anything always is. But any more? ehhh ]

I don't like bitter things like you do, so if I drank that, I'd probably spit it back up.

[commences]

No, I'm not against bitter things, I did drink it because you made it, though.

( the truth is... he likes salty the best, and bread, this is pushing it, but it's doable. )

[adsum]

[ HE SAID BITTER, THEY LET HIM CHOOSE AND HE SAID BITTER AAAAAAA ]

Then you'll drink the rest of the drink that I poured all my heart and soul into and made specifically for you.

[commences]

( HE DID.... :) )

Your heart and soul? ...You wouldn't give me all that.

[adsum]

Not all of it. But a little. Like seasoning.

[ just sprinkled on top, for flavor ]

[commences]

It's fine, that's not anything can really taste, or maybe... it's only me with difficulties.

( that's why he can't drink anymore, lack of love... )

[adsum]

Oh... you can't taste well?

[ Then why did they put so much effort into

npc-kun pulls away, setting the half-full pitcher in the sink and starts rummaging through the cupboards.

... ]

[commences]

Unfortunately, but I do like bread if you have it.

( because they love komaeda enough unlike their brother. )

Any kind will do.

[adsum]

[ They pull their head out of the cupboards, holding a packet of roasted nori sheets. ]

Because it's soft?

[commences]

...

( maybe npc-kun did get hungry. )

I like the taste, and I never had trouble keeping it down.

( sometimes... cancer is a bitch, so he has a few difficulties. that's probably why he can throw up after eating various things, nothing sits on his stomach properly. )

[adsum]

[ ...

puts the nori back. ]

Why did you want me to cook for you and make you drinks if you can't stomach it? I could've baked you bread.

[commences]

( why!! bring it back. )

Because you were willing, what reason did I have to reject? ...Do you like nori?

[adsum]

[ trots over empty-handed ]

Getting sick because of something I made is a good reason. Taste and smell are important for enjoying your food, so I thought if you couldn't taste so well, maybe something fun to eat would make up for it.

[commences]

Hm? It's not a bad thing if I get sick, that means something good comes later... ah, Sakasaki-kun already poisoned me, so this isn't horrible.

( he gets up finally, and he walks over to where he saw npc-kun put away the nori. picking it up, he brings it over to the table to set down between them. )

If I didn't want to drink it, I would have said no.

[adsum]

[ makes a mental note about Sakasaki-kun and then stares at the packet of nori... looks back up ]

Do you want to share this with me?

[commences]

( it was a good poison actually, komaeda was rather lucky that it was him who was chosen. now komaeda's good at utilizing poison, let him help npc-kun. )

Why did you put it back?

[adsum]

Because it's not bread.

[ Because this whole thing was about him. Even though he tries to turn it around, even though he doesn't answer their question. They can always ask again. ]

Will you eat it?

[commences]

It's just my preferred choice, but I can eat other treats...

( he slides it to the other, waiting for them to open it up. )

Hm... we should play a game too, so... ( cough. ) ... we can enjoy it even more.

[adsum]

[ But he won't drink the rest of his bittermelon goop ):

That's fine. npc-kun takes the packet and opens it up on both ends and also along the side, so that the wrapping lays flat on the table to catch any stray nori bits that fall off.

What kind of game?
