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.

One account he was slain by his guard, and friend, on another... slain by his enemies.

( maybe komaeda isn't fully like him, but he's taken a few notes. that the poison he inhaled, despair, little by little was to make him immune — though, it ruined him more, he fell in love, and that... made his descent worse, but even then, he hated. poison is part of his life, a reoccurring factor that's nothing but a reminder. )

Ahaha... how funny, should I ask someone to kill me, is that what you're getting at?

[adsum]

No, it's just something I learned.

[ ... ]

Which would you choose?

[ friend or enemy? ]

[commences]

...What else do you know? I'm interested in a bit of literature, maybe we can share our favorites.

( he leans forward, a little excited at the thought. )

There's something poetic in having a friend kill you, I've heard. But I have neither.

[adsum]

Bits of whatever books were left behind... But I'm glad.

[ No friends, no enemies. ]

If you ask, the people who would kill you are the ones who love you, or hate you. Or both.

[commences]

Do you like reading?

( komaeda does... so maybe he can search for books within the library, one that isn't... whatever it mostly has. he finds a few good books here and there. )

Hmmm... ( he hums. ) Do you love me or hate me?

[adsum]

Mmhm.

[ ... ]

Guess.

[ Komaeda gets one guess. ]

[commences]

I've guessed.

( in his mind. )

[adsum]

What is it?

[commences]

A secret.

( ... )

To see if it ever changes.

[adsum]

Boo. I don't like secrets.

[ The scale tips towards hate ]

[commences]

You've kept secrets from me...

( yep... )

Would you want a friend or enemy to kill you?

[adsum]

[ ? ]

Friend.

[commences]

...

( gets UP! )

I feel like we learned a lot about each other, we can chit chat later, probably.

[adsum]

What? Wait!

[ gets up too, makes like they're going to block his path ]

Was that the wrong answer?

[ Don't ... them, it makes them nervous, only they can ... ]

[commences]

There wasn't an answer at all.

( sometimes dementia causes changes in moods, personality swings like a pendulum. )

But... that's it for us, isn't it?

[adsum]

[ that's it... like he's breaking up with them...

): ]

Come play with me again.

[commences]

I will... I'm interested in your hope, don't you know?

( it's okay, purgatory august means new thread september. )

You can't get rid of me!

[adsum]

[ we're finally... free...... ]

[commences]

( bookmark these threads... they were so long... )

[adsum]

[ asdflkjh there's no need to bookmark them when they're so long i can't find anything anyways!!!!
when npckun's threads are literally 75% of the entire event log i might as well bookmark the event log ]

[commences]

( i think this event log was a success? he got like 1k comments, i'm proud of us finally crawling out purgatory.

thank you npc-kun )

[commences]

( so he comes back thirty minutes later. )

[adsum]

[ runs towards him with arms widespread bc komaeda's come back to playyyyyy ]

[commences]

( it's too early for him to hug automatically because his dementia is still on the brain, but...

...

...

... )

Let's play a game.

[adsum]

[ too bad hugs don't have to be consensual, they will hunt him down for a one-sided hug ]

Dots and boxes!!
