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.

Why?

[ That's stupid... this is stupid! Oh well. ]

Just don't put my name on it and do whatever the fuck you want, I guess.

[adsum]

It's a real eyecatcher, that's why! There's nobody who wouldn't stop and stare when they see this!

[ It's a good thing... sort of. For them and their store it is. ]

[bloodmetries]

[ ... Whatever. As long as they let him take his shit. ]

And the job -- you'll just contact me for whenever you need something?

[adsum]

Yeah! How should I call you... You can tell me where you usually are, or I can hang a little bell at the door and ring it when I need you to come.

[ He gets a pencil for all this effort, was it worth it ]

[bloodmetries]

A bell is too noisy. Anyone who is familiar with our business will know you're sending me out on somethin', and then they could try runnin' out.

[ They gotta keep them trapped like mice. ]

I'm usually at the ethics club after school.

[adsum]

They won't escape from you, though.

[ The maze has expanded, but they're all still trapped inside a box. ]

...Is it fun?

[bloodmetries]

Do I look like an animal to you?

[ Just a predator sprinting after his prey. ]

I don't care, but a guy there said if I wanna keep an eye on him that I'll have to be there.

[adsum]

[ Doesn't answer the animal question ]

Who are you keeping an eye on? If I keep him here, you can go hunting, right? I won't let anything happen to him.

[bloodmetries]

[ He Will Remember This. ]

Why are you using the word "hunting"... [ First off! What the fuck!? ] And it doesn't really matter, I just check up on him to make sure no one murders him. Otherwise, if anything, I'd be the one doing anything to him, y'know.

[adsum]

[ look... sometimes the conversation moves on ]

Hm? It's hunting. [ It's just the most apt term for this. ] But anyways, this is a "Nobody can kill him but me" sort of thing? That's stupid. Don't kill him.

[bloodmetries]

Not really. [ He waves a hand. ] It's more like, "I'd rather be the one to kill you than someone else" -- honestly, I'm just tryin' to keep the guy from dying. He's irritating enough and I know that I could kill him if I wanted to, he's weak. Most people here are.

[adsum]

That's the same thing.

[ He said exactly the same thing. ]

And yeah... most people here are weak. Which is why they should buy protection from me. Maybe you can sell him one of my charms.

[bloodmetries]

I doubt he wants protection. The guy was grinning ear-to-ear when I punched him, so I'm assuming he likes get roughed up.

[ That makes him mad, though. ]

But if you want me to try, I can.

[adsum]

[ A person who enjoys pain isn't anything npc-kun can relate with; even though they took Akira's slap from earlier without much complaint, it wasn't as if they welcomed it.

Whoever that guy is is a weird one. ]

Yeah, I want you to try.

[ There's no harm in him trying, so npc-kun takes one of the many keychains from the box to hold out to Akira. If he sells it, great. If he doesn't, npc-kun will just keep the 1% cut. ]
