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.

Hello! Hi! Welcome! Come in!

[ The shopkeeper perks up whenever a student walks past the door, regardless of if they intended to go inside in the first place. ]

Please buy lots and lots! But if you're poor, go away and don't waste my time.

1. Arrival
(pre-event)

[It's too early, and he's tired. Heading for his locker as the bell rings, Atsushi reaches up to rub at his blurry eyes, but ends up squinting at his hands, now much more awake.]

What?

[There's dirt covering his entire forearms, smeared in places, flaking in others; entrenched deep under his fingernails. Looking down, he's apparently been tracking mud and dirt all over the hallway from his shoes. What was he doing? He'd never come to school in this state before, nor was he the type to go roughhousing in the dirt before classes. The tired feeling sweeps over him again, and like a fading dream, he remembers he's not a student here - yet he knows that locker to the right is his, 167, and he should find a clean uniform in there. But he's never been to school at all, and is now too old for it.

It must be some kind of illusion or mental projection; with that theory, his focus should be on finding out what it is instead of where the dirt came from. But he's awkwardly standing in the hallway looking maybe like he'd buried a body out in the woods somewhere... Maybe he did. What if he did, oh my god. Atsushi hastily wipes his hands on his pants, looking over at the closest person in the hallway.]

D-did you see me come in?

2. Student Exchange

[He's not the smartest person, but this bulletin board advertisement is very suspect. It looks to be official, and it's true the names of the towns don't all seem farcical. But...]

LazyTown?

[That's what stands out to him as the most ridiculous somehow, even above Devildom. He continues musing aloud while scrutinizing the flyer.]

Oh wait, is it Laissez Town? Is this in France? Maybe it's Spain. They take a lot of naps in Spain... They should have countries listed.

[Everything he knows about geography, and European cultural things like sleeping in the middle of the day, came from outdated books in a small orphanage library that may or may not have been complete fiction. Yet he knows the word 'laissez' somehow, a vaguely remembered French class at this school? Who knows...]

3. Wildcard
anything goes - because idk what i'm doing with plot-related things
plotting comment here

i. doors

( well. that's odd. in june she could go into the courtyard, if only through the window, and then in july she couldn't at all. and now, because it's nene yashiro and she doesn't just let things sit, she's tried again, and... she can go through again.

alright.

despite this probably being a good thing, or at least some progress somehow, you might catch nene pouting with some frustration. )

Is this place playing with me...? Some consistency would be nice...

ii. courtyard

( once, early on, she enjoyed resting under the wisteria tree. even when she knew something was... definitely up with it- she had hoped the hitodama were more... aesthetic than the truth- she'd even had a nap under it, with shuichi. they'd leaned on each other with their work in their laps and everything was ... at least a little bit kinder back then.

now, standing under the tree, she knows the truth. she's so lost in thought, however, that she doesn't hear anyone approach and jolts when a hand touches her shoulder- )

AAH-- o-oh- um- I'm sorry, I wasn't... Did you need something?

( SMOOTH. )

iii. clocktower

( for someone who's running out of time, nene sure does spend a lot of time in the clock tower. it's... no where in this school is safe from having been a murder scene. at least she can see beyond the school on some level here, at least there's a noise in the air keeping her grounded. but one day, as she goes to stare out the window, she notices something falling from the sky- )

Is that... ash...?

iv. bulletin board

( this is a trap. this is most definitely a trap. there's no way the school would let them leave so easily. even staring intently doesn't make the flier go away or reveal it's true colors however, and some of the names... are familiar. what the hell. )

Hey, um- doesn't this seem really weird?

v. wildcard

( shoot yo shot babes )

[This is... strangely familiar.

Shin is ten lockers down, and not really paying much attention until he glances and spots the dirt trail and the person it's leading to... who then panickedly addresses him.]

Huh? Ahaha, careful about that, it's hard to wash clothes here. [No washing machines, pink-contaminated water... it's hard to stay clean.] Need some help?

[He's also a few years too old for school, though he has enough chronic babyface it might not be immediately obvious. There's a touch of a gleam in his eye but don't mind it. He just likes the power of knowing more than others.]

Clothes?

[He looks down at himself almost automatically, easily distracted, but no. This isn't what he's concerned about.]

That's not important!

[That was too loud, and Atsushi looks around for anyone who might have overheard; not at all subtle about it. He's starting to sweat and he can feel the dirt turning to mud in between his fingers.]

Where did the dirt come from?

i. bulletin board

[ He can hardly believe what he's seeing. But it's right there, clear as day in front of him. Ishigami Village plastered in text as part of a list of "sister cities" to this place? If this location were about 25 years into the future, maybe it would be logical, but that is far from the truth.

Senku's hands are shaking at his sides as he stands there. He's definitely thinking about going. The scientist certainly has enough merit points for it. But... what if it's a trick? What if it's something that this school set up in order to try to break his spirit?

He doesn't wish this school on any of the villagers. Something here is very wrong. He needs to see if everyone's alright, but at what cost? A chief has to look out for what's best for his people. This is going to be a very tough decision. ]

ii. doors/courtyard

[ Honestly, it was one of those things Senku decided to do on a whim. He knew of quite a few people able to step through the main doors and out into the courtyard. You know what? It's a nice day out, let's give it a try.

He gingerly pushes the door, and it swings open. His brows raise, and he carefully takes a step out into the yard, feeling the fresh air on his face. There's no breeze, but Senku is beyond happy to be able to step out of the school for once. ]

...Kehehe. Well, this is exhilarating.

iii. study club

Alright. Anything you need help with? [ Senku takes a seat across from the other, smiling as he awaits their requests. ]

[ This Study Club meet can also be considered a Wildcard for activities in the club! Senku and your character can talk about what the project is that they wish to put together, even! ]

iv. game club

[ This Game Club meet can be considered a Wildcard for activities within the club! This can also include IC discussions on what their project is for the Student Council is as well! ]

[Guess who's been kind of slinking around the peripheryyyyy. He's not been brave enough to ask someone for their Gameboy yet but he's getting there.]

A club project, huh... [Bit difficult for something that's mostly to do with leisure, as far as he can tell. And snacks. He doesn't have high hopes anything good will happen if any of the clubs fail to make their projects, though, which is why he's speaking up.] Could someone host a speedrun?

Huh, maybe... [ Senku doesn't do speedruns personally, but he's sure he could do one if he tried hard enough, or at least, find someone more confident in that area. ] It's a possibility, but I doubt Maya would be all too impressed by just that alone.

[ The Student Council are the ones who practically rule the school while the Principal's away, after all. The VP's got enough to deal with as is. ]

I could try to make a powerpoint of various things we've accomplished as well on top of live gaming activities. For instance, how many people attend and generally how casual it is. There's not much trouble or conflict that happens here which is a good thing. If anyone has a camera, we could take pictures between now and the end of the month too.

☽ Courtyard

[It may or may not be known by the general populace of the school that Noah Ebalon does not ever fucking sleep, that he walks himself to the point of exhaustion to try to get to sleep because otherwise he wakes up screaming due to nightmares. He's been able to get into the courtyard for a month or so now though, sometimes taking a nap in the grass in a sunny spot, and he finds he can go a little farther this time than the last.

That's how he ends up beneath the wisteria tree, curled up and writing in a notebook, though he can sometimes be seen flipping through it and reading back through entries with a mildly perturbed expression. You're free to ask about his journaling if you'd like, or criticise his posture, which is... kind of awful.

That being said, the aforementioned lack of sleep is clearly catching up to him. He looks like a kitten drifting in and out of consciousness, catching himself halfway with his eyes closed and waking up to scrawl something else onto the pages of that fancy notebook of his. Rinse and repeat, over and over again, until he's on his side laying in the grass and twirling the pen between his fingers. It appears as though he's almost trying not to fall asleep out here, though... knowing Noah, it might be a good idea to try and talk him into it. Or suffocate him until he sleeps. Whatever floats your boat.]

☽ Ashes

[At some point when Noah goes out into the courtyard for what is probably another impromptu nap under the wisteria tree, however, it starts to rain. At least, he thinks that it's rain at first, until he rubs his eyes and realises. Not rain. Ash.

Is there a fire nearby? He can't tell. He's a short kid, after all; Noah decides he's going to simply climb the wisteria tree if he can and attempt to look over the treeline to check it out. That's probably where you find him, halfway up the tree and poised on a thick branch with the intention to go higher. Can he see the horizon line from where he's at? No. Is he going to try to keep going up? Yep.

Is that a dumb idea? Absolutely. It absolutely is. You could join him in ascending the tree, or tell him to get down, or just watch him hit his head on a branch if you really want. Or tattle on him and bring Clamor out to kick his ass for being stupid.]

☽ Student Store

[The student store is interesting, and Noah wants a suncatcher. You can sort of tell by the way he's eyeballing it with that look of wonder in his eyes, which he's trying to hide because don't perceive him. If you catch him looking like he wants a suncatcher, no you don't. And you especially don't hear the way he says idly,]

It's hard, but you can get suncatchers to catch the moonlight, too.

[Must've been the wind.

That being said, at one point when he's passing by the student store, if you're not there for him wanting a suncatcher, you're probably there to see him pulling an old clock out of his pocket and seemingly sizing it up to the other old clocks in the store. He looks contemplative, confused almost, and then turns to you to ask after a moment,]

Um... do you know anything about these clocks?

⛧ Bulletin Board

[Alright what the fuck.

Lucifer is not someone who very easily shows expression on his face unless it's a) to look smug as all fuck and b) to look angry as all fuck, and he normally wears a resting bitch face of a type. However, however... today? Today he's baffled, outwardly fucking baffled, regarding the bulletin board with a look of absolute confusion that soon after melts away into disdain.

Why. What? Why. Why the Devildom.

It's no secret that Lucifer's home is the Devildom, as he's made it very clear that he is in fact The Morning Star himself, yadda yadda, let's skip over the eighteen billion different names scholars have given him over the years for once. He's also made it clear that he was previously faculty on the Devildom's university for demons, a university which in prior years has accepted exchange students from both the human world and Celestial Realm alike, in exchange for demons going to those two worlds to study there. In fact, he's invited several people to take part in the exchange program once they're out of here.

This? He did not authorize. He's had no contact with Lord Diavolo to authorize such a thing. This isn't a way out; it's suspicious at best and a death trap at most. No, no, absolutely not. He cannot — he will not — let this go through, if he can help it.

(Unfortunately, like most things here, Lucifer cannot control them, something he personally sees as a direct insult.)]

This is madness.

[Of a type, certainly.]

⛧ Uhh, Whatcha Got There?

[Lucifer is... well, not the pinnacle of masculinity or whatever, but he definitely doesn't look the part of a man who should be carrying around stuffed animals. In particular, you might spot him walking around today with this adorable thing tucked under one arm like it's the most casual thing in the world.

The sheep plushie is massive, about half the size of Lucifer's torso, and seems to be in perfect condition. It has a blue bow around its neck because blue is apparently the colour of Pride, though it does stand out greatly against his typical wardrobe of reds. He doesn't seem to be doing anything special, just... sort of walking around with it. Lucifer has the tendency to patrol the halls, after all, it's just he has a special guest today.

If you approach and ask him about it, he might tell you about how the plush reminds him of someone he knows, and follow that up with a story about this mysterious person. They must be important to him, given the way his gaze softens.]

⛧ Wildcard

Hello yes, I'm manifesting a good August. If you would like a Pride Demon for all your Pride Demon Needs, feel free to slap me with a prompt of your own or hit me up on Discord/

wolfchan.

[ ...It's bringing out a myriad conflicting emotions to see Lanling of all places as a spot for the student exchange program. He almost feels dizzy, like he's hallucinating it, and he can feel the stirring of temptation gnaw at him a bit.

But outwardly, he just sighs. ]

It's on purpose, isn't it? Doing this so-called 'exchange program'?

Laissez Town... Sounds fancy.

[ It sounds foreign, which makes it fancy, but anything French tends to remind him of home and of her and he steps up to the flyer and peers at the list of towns, glancing up at the posted information after.

Minato is not wearing the standard Yogen high school uniform, but rather his uniform from canon. Regardless, he doesn't even have a PDA and the concept of merit points is lost on him, so there's no way he can apply. ]

Are you going?

I didn't think you'd rather be consistently locked in... I heard that's how it was before.

[ Tricks or not, he would've thought any opportunity would be a blessing, and he knows not to question blessings. Either way, he waits in the doorway for Nene to step into the courtyard and he'll follow, or turn back around to go inside and he'll follow either way. ]

[ Something has captivated Senku but Minato can't quite make out what it might be, even as he stands next to him and stares at that expression and tries to tease apart excitement from horror.

He opens his mouth as if to speak, but then closes it again, not wanting to interrupt ...whatever is going on with Senku. Minato can be patient for him to snap out of it. ]

I have a bad feeling about this. Judging by your sigh, you must as well, right?

[Who's dumb enough to spend that many points and fall for this? People who want out more than to be rational, he supposes, but still. The worst part is that Lucifer doesn't know where this came from or what the endpoint is, and that frustrates him beyond belief.

He turns to Meng Yao, arms folded over his chest.]

Don't tell me that there's a city you recognize on this list as well.

[ Honestly, Minato is in no position to critique anybody's posture, nor for being out and about past midnight and looking like a zombie the day after.

After watching for several minutes from the doorway to the courtyard and trying to guess what's gotten Noah so frustrated, Minato picks his way through the grass and makes his way over. ]

Summer homework...?

[ It's the beginning of break... That's almost incomprehensibly diligent. ]

The application fee?

[ That's the concerning part of the notice to Minato, who would have jumped at the chance to explore any one of these new places if he were given the chance, except he doesn't have a single merit point to his name and will never earn any.

Either way, 300 merit points is either a lot or very little, depending on the conversion fee from point to yen. ]

No.

[He says it like it should be obvious, and absolutely no one should be going on these trips.]

I don't know everything that's going on here, but we can't be going to France when... when...

[Nothing really terrible has happened per se, not to his knowledge, but this is clearly some kind of mindscrew ability user's doing, and he will... fix it.]

When... people are trapped in... a school.

...well, I will admit, that fee seems a bit insane.

[Lucifer is swift to jump into his actual point, however, punctuating his statement with the smallest of sighs.]

I'm more referring to the fact that my home, the Devildom, is listed as an exchange program here. Historically-speaking, our university — which I was on the faculty of — does offer such things, but I was not consulted on it, nor have I had contact with the school's owner, Lord Diavolo, in... several months now. There is not a thing in this world he wouldn't tell me. If he were able to put an exchange program in place here, why would he not contact me about it?

[He shakes his head, distraught.]

This whole thing seems incredibly suspicious.

Ahaha... shouldn't you know? ...Ah, that's a bit mean. [He'll take pity.] If it's that deep under your fingernails... makes sense it would be from wherever you were digging something up outside, right?

[That's where you get dirt, after all. Certainly there's none naturally in the school. Sou's not a dirt expert, but Atsushi... it looks like he was practically clawing at the earth. Was he himself doing the same, before he woke up?]

Did you find anything?

( nene is a sixteen year old girl, and she's a sixteen year old with squishables, hamster plushies and so much more waiting for her back home. so the moment she sees the the sheep plushie, she has stars in her eyes- not unlike the innocent, not-yet-worn-down nene he met months ago. )

Oh my gosh, it looks so sooooft!!

[ Minato looks away at that "no," as if Atsushi were telling him he's stupid and wrong. But he does end up bringing his gaze back up, as if encouraging Atsushi through his hesitation.

People are trapped in this school, himself included, but what about this? ]

If we all go to France, though... isn't that getting out?

[Okay, that was a stupid question, and obviously the dirt came form outside. He's just panicking, which he needs to stop. He can be methodical about this.]

You think I was looking for something?

[That's a far better theory than body disposal. Atsushi digs through his pockets for anything he might have wanted to find in the dirt. A coin? He can't think of anything else at the moment, and his pockets are mostly empty save for...]

Was I gardening?

[It's said more to himself than Shin, but he holds up a blue wisteria petal, strangely not crumpled or ripped from its journey.]
