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.

( stop, wish i won for npc-kunmaeda, i just think it fits what's going on here, their marriage narration. )

[adsum]

[ every time I come back to this thread I have to see npc-kunmaeda ]

[commences]

( stop, npc-kunmaeda would have been the worse shit to read mid investigation tbh.

also, amity chose this for komaeda-arata, and so i like to think he's doing this because he wants to see npc-kun excited about winning, and maybe smile. )

[adsum]

[ nooooooooo that's the cutest reason, where is amity, tell her thank you for making npc-kun smile and excited about winning, they're going to throw their hands in the air and then do their little happy dance because look how good they are at pencil and paper games!!! ]

[commences]

( i will be letting amity know, but there's something about seeing npc-kun smile that makes komaeda-arata laugh... it's a scary thing to see, like he's waiting for that smile of theirs to change into a frown, or for them to stop having fun.

he crosses his arms, putting down his pencil. )

Two out of two... I really am bad at this. ( he pauses, laying his head on the table. ) Ah... what about Join Five?

[adsum]

[ How can they not be having fun when they're winning? doesn't matter if Komaeda lets them win, the winning is what matters ]

I've never played! How does Join Five work?

[ as I also google search this so I don't mess up the rules ]

[commences]

I've never played before, but...

( let him dot dot dot up what they use, and.... this is me reading how join five works. )



You connect five dots back and forth, and the last one to connect five wins.

[adsum]

[ a learning experience for all four of us ]

[commences]

( the connect four experience without the actual game, and the way i learned that this game can be long as hell. )

[adsum]

[ Are we supposed to draw in new dots or just connect the ones that we have, help, I immediately don't know how to play the game and maybe it's ic and it's fine ]

[commences]

( thinking about how you're about to use your struggle dot right now, but i'm going to struggle every turn and have like 50 extra dots )

[adsum]

[ there's the temptation to shade in the boxes like "yes! two boxes! i'm winning" ]

[commences]

( NOT US PLAYING THIS LIKE DOTS AND BOXESSSSS wait.... maybe that's our next game with join boxes. )

[adsum]

[ ...

The temptation to fill in the boxes is too great ]



[ We already don't know how to play, we can make this our game now. ]

[commences]

( ngl when i woke up and saw you colored the boxes... back to our lines and boxes era, please... wish we could add mine sweeper to this. )

[adsum]

[ look, there is a simple joy in coloring in boxes ]

[commences]

( it kind of calms me down and we chose cute colors too, sighs... thinking about komaeda's pink mp3... for pink boxes. )

[adsum]

[ how npc-kun chose blue bc I had to commit, but they're such cute colors...
also they're going to take the finished product and make a poster of it so everybody can see their game and go to the student store and buy lots of rocks ]

[commences]

( if they don't buy enough rocks, they have to change their last name to the host's choosing, so when they walk in, they better get ready to do it accept their new marriage fate.

they should have it hanging from the ceiling like... bingo. )

[adsum]

[ how npckun is going to make 42089693045 aratas and make them write a will and kill them all

thinky thoughts at night while they stare up at the ceiling and have to see this ]

[commences]

( can't make them all aratas or rokkun will get ansty, he might try to slay them... we can't lose our army of aratas like this!

it's this image that gives them brainworms. )

[adsum]

[ as long as the wills are already written, Rokkun can do what he wants ]



[ Also this is where npckun will tell Komaeda he has to make and color squares too, or it'll be unbalanced ]

[commences]

( not the wills written, stopppppp does there have to be bloodshed?

it's fine, komaeda-arata was biding his time so that he could do this amazing three tile color in! isn't he lucky! he knew this would happen... as i was praying a line would go there. )

[adsum]

[ yea

npckun looks over at komaeda like !!! ]

[commences]

( don't just say yeah with a straight face.

holds up two fingers to show he got two more boxes!! )
