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.

Isn't that what I'm doing?

[commences]

Nope.

( he blinks confused... )

[adsum]

[ he's not the only one who looks confused ]

Then what am I doing?

[commences]

Trying to invite trash?

( komaeda like o_o they've been over this, he's not a person. )

[adsum]

[ shopkeep trash handshake emoji... not being a person ]

If trash can't say yes... then I'll just take it with me.

[ If he's not a person, he gets no rights ]

[commences]

( that's not how it works!!! that's cheating. )

Hm? You know I can't, you said it yourself... I'm not going to make it, only third years can.

( trash that has no living rights either. )

[adsum]

[ They're a good honest shopkeeper, they'd never cheat ]

We're talking hypothetically. If both you and I make it, will you take me away to Saransk?

[commences]

Will you survive, no matter the circumstances?

( when was the last time he made a promise... god... closes my eyes. )

[adsum]

[ ?? he apparently made a promise with Rokkun on his birthday which I proceeded to immediately forget what it was, but I'm doing better at bookmarking important threads now ]

I can't disappear before I reach my goal. What about you?

[commences]

( NOT MY DEMENTIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, how i normally remember this, but you got me... ok, i'm going to make a notepad with stuff like this because god knows. )

...It depends on what hope wants me to do, I want to help it, and if my life serves that purpose.

( maybe we hope no one's hope here needs him!! )

[adsum]

Hope wants you to take me to Saransk!

[commences]

If your hope overweighs the hope that's here, I have to listen to who's the brightest, after all.

( ultimates... )

[adsum]

It's me! I'm the brightest! Let's go to Saransk!!

[ shoves the Ultimates aside, they're not even here, look at npc-kun and only them ]

[commences]

( komaeda only got two eyes, and rokkun gunna get mad or something if komaeda looks at too many people. )

Where do you live? Back home, it's uninhabitable.

[adsum]

[ get chameleon eyes so he can look at them both at the same time ]

My shop...? What do you mean by uninhabitable?

[commences]

( would they even like that. )

I'm not from this city.

( does that make sense? he's from... idk where he from, some part of ultimate japan. )

[adsum]

[ ...you're right, npc-kun might have to force Komaeda to touch a death totem if he showed up with chameleon eyes ]

That doesn't mean the rest of the world is uninhabitable.

[commences]

( ...

looks at the chameleon that can be a regain from the monomono machine... )

Back home, ( blackpink! ) in my area... it is.

[adsum]

[ what doesn't the monomono machine have ]

What happened?

[commences]

( cool stuff like the v3 machine. )

There's a worldwide air pollution, and only so many people can inhabit it without dying, and despair wreaks havoc here and there.

[adsum]

[ Makes sense... limited air means most people are going to die, and that does sound despairing. ]

Is that why you have a gas mask?

[commences]

Who? Me? No, I use that to mess with poison. I can actually breathe the polluted air.

( komaeda stood out there with everyone else with the sky red as the devil's toe, i don't think his body is all that human anymore. )

[adsum]

Oh.

[ ... ]

Naturally, or like Mithridates?

[commences]

...Despair is like a poison, so in a way, you could relate me to him.

( ... )

[adsum]

[ Hmm. Not sure despair is breathable, but it is poison. And it's something they feel like they have a trickle feed of, sometimes, and they can't pull it out. But are they any stronger for everything they've been through, or is it just slowly killing them? ... ]

...In the end, Mithridates wanted to die, but because he spent his life toughening himself up, he couldn't kill himself by his own hand.
