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.

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?

[commences]

( maybe it's to wash down the nori.)

...Hm, how about 21 Questions; I'm actually a fan of it.

( he'll reach for one of the noris, raising his hand to dip it into the pitcher so it coats the sheet. )

[adsum]

[ HE COULD'VE JUST SAID NO now he's going to waste half this nori that npckun would've happily eaten all of ]

Oh! I know that game! I'll go first—-

[ ...

...

... ]

Alright. Go ahead and guess.

[commences]

( STOP IT WAS A SMALL DIP, and it's for him because he's going to tear it and eat his own pieces!!! )

...

( ... )

Excuse me?

[adsum]

Guess what I'm thinking of. You have 21 tries.

[ ... ]

Amami-kun?

[adsum]

[ They look a bit startled, but ]

No.

[commences]

( was he not right. )

You want me to leave?

[adsum]

[ no!! they just look a little embarrassed at the guess, at Amami maybe being on the forefront of their mind ]

No. That's not a thing. Don't you know how to play this game?

[commences]

( see!! komaeda knew so that means he wins? )

I guess two times, and now I have 19 more tries?

[adsum]

[ It was a lucky guess!!! but npc-kun hates losing and is already choosing something different, Komaeda doesn't need to know ]

Yep, that's right! Keep going! Do your best!

[commences]

( he was right and npc-kun is cheating!?!?!?! )

You're wearing his ring, do you like it?

( stares... )

[adsum]

[ They're a good and honest shopkeeper!! Who is counting this as one of Komaeda's guesses as they pull their ring hand in to clutch in front of their chest and turn slightly away from Komaeda, covering the ring with their other hand. ]

You can't have it.

[commences]

...

( he can't have it? well, did he ask for it? komaeda is familiar with the item, he knows every little thing an ultimate wears... he even knows what socks amami would have wore today if he was here.

sighs wistfully. )

He pays attention to you, huh...

( he's not jealous... just curious. )

[adsum]

[ What socks are Amami wearing today ]

Yeah...? I'm awesome. Everybody should be paying attention to me.
