September Event
Autumn Semester
✽ School starts up again on August 30, and club supplies resume being replenished at the start of each week.
✽ All character run clubs survive the vetting process. Maya gives the jar of dragonflies to Hiro, who hot potatoes it to Nao, who opens the jar and sets them free outside. Maya will also tell Add that if his club damages any more of the school, she will shut down the Robotics & Programming Club. The cultists are delighted with their gifts and play rock-paper-scissors to determine who gets to keep what.
✽ The science club is shut down and disbanded due to their club project being interrupted and therefore incomplete, and the door to the lab will not open to any student. The club may be reinstated in the winter semester, and will be open to all students regardless of grade level.
✽ Posted all around the school are colorful posters painted by somebody who has no sense of color theory nor any idea what racoons, manta rays, or zebras look like. They advertise the student store, and its newest attraction:
✽ There is now a gacha machine set up outside the student store, which only takes tokens provided by the shopkeeper. Tokens are 1000 yen or 10 merit points each, and 99.99999% of the prizes are normal boring rocks, but there is a miniscule chance of winning rare gemstones. If you return 100 empty gacha capsules back to the shopkeeper for recycling, they will give you one free token.

Setting Updates
✽ The right fourth floor hallway will be cleaned up during the first few days of school, with the gorinto rocks lined up against the walls on either side, and enough structural support is done so the hallway is in no danger of collapsing.
✽ The rooftop on the right side of the school can be accessed via the stair up from the end of the fourth floor hallway. The rooftop on the left side of the school can be accessed via the windows on the fourth floor, where you have to lean out the window and pull yourself up somehow. The two halves of the roof are separated by the clock tower, and there is no railing. There are concrete dividers sectioning out part of the right side into what may have once been a rooftop garden.
✽ Touching the track for more than 2 seconds results in permadeath. If you're able to jump over the track to the field, the grass is lush and green, although it gives more than expected, like a lawn after rain.
✽ There are six ball courts with height-adjustable poles for tennis and volleyball. Very old, falling apart equipment can be found in storage in the auditorium, while brand new ones can be purchased from the student store. The courts are surrounded by 10-foot fall chain link electric fence both between and around them, with a voltage high enough to cause severe burns to death, depending on the duration of contact. Electricity flows through all parts of the fencing except the door handle on the side of each court to enter.
✽ The indoor swimming pool contains separate girls and boys changing rooms, each consisting of 5 changing stalls, 2 showers, a bathroom, and 20 small lockers that do not come with their own locks but you can purchase one from the student store. Swimsuits, floaties, and towels can also be purchased from the student store. The pool is 25 meters by 25 meters, with a shallow end of 3 ft which then drops precipitously towards the deep end, where a flimsy diving board is set up. The deep end seems to continue down for thousands of meters, with light quickly disappearing and pressure becoming immense, and there is no bottom. The water is held at a constant lukewarm, and is very very slightly tinged pink. It tastes strongly of saltwater. The only windows are located on the ceiling like a skylight rather than on the walls, and lights shut off at 6pm, so it is pitch black after sundown. The pool is always open.
✽ The dormitory is open to be moved into, with rooms assignments being ICly first come first served. There is no Resident Assistant in charge. It's a lawless land. Please use the toplevel below for sign-ups.

Autumnal Equinox
✽ September 23 marks the autumnal equinox. Like during the Vernal Equinox, students spend the week cleaning the school and gorintos are set upon the windowsills. Touching a gorinto causes the character to fall into a trance and experience the moments prior to death of the person being honored, up to and including the death, with all the physical and emotional pain that comes with it.
✽ On the morning of the equinox, red spider lilies bloom all across the courtyard and deep into the forest seemingly overnight. From the clock tower or rooftop, characters are able to see the forest surrounding them on all sides is entirely covered in the red flowers up to the crest, as if the entire land were awash with blood.
✽ The wisteria tree starts to shed petals, only a handful a day and impossible to notice compared to the hundreds upon thousands of petals held aloft by the tree, if it weren't for the fact that wherever a petal drops and touches the ground, the grass and flowers in the immediate vicinity are all dried up and dead.
✽ The void continues to grow, expanding outward and reaching up into the floor above.

OOC
✽ Characters in classes 1-B, 1-D, 1-E, 2-C, and 3-E (classes who rose at least one rank in August) find that in the void school, they can start to see the void students' faces instead of them being completely shadow. They look scared, angry, resigned, anything but happy.

[ It's sad to say, but the information she tried to get then...didn't turn out to be much. ]
Ah...I'm a second year back home! I need to start looking at places to apply. [ Got it all figured out...like she knows what she's going to major in. Maybe a science, they have good prospects for the working world, but its not like its a passion of hers. ] My parents promised we could go look at some schools this summer.
You went right? Any tips?
no subject
Ahaha, well... you're a diligent sort, so I don't have to warn you about missing lectures... or not studying out of class...
[Turns out when it says 'optional' it's a lie... but he was struggling in general. Being bright of mind doesn't help when trauma and what he still hasn't realized was grief are tearing at it.]
It's a bit of a change.
[That's really all he can sum it up as. For the first time in your life, you're alone. You have to set your own goals. People will invite you to things initially and then give up talking to you when you're noncommittal long enough...]
Well, keep an eye on professor office hours, I guess.
no subject
[ She claps her hands and grins at him. It's not that she's unaware of his souring mood, thinking about the past...she wants Sou to feel better. He'd been to college, and the advice wasn't bad. ]
You sound kind of cool~ Like a real upperclassman! [ Shin-senpai~ ]
I...think I want a change now. If I go home after everything...I want to really focus on becoming an adult. I won't slack off anymore. Maybe I'll get a degree in something that could... [ She trails off a little, staring at Shin hesitantly before continuing. ]
...help people.
no subject
[He's trying for a bit of a sarcastic, of course I'm an upperclassman I'm older than you Sara tone, but the Shin is not immune to flattery despite his efforts. Mission success, Sara.]
You say that now... Don't they say you should enjoy your youth while you can?
[Shin's normal youth was cut a little short and being an adult... ugh, bills... work... jobhunting... It's not all it's cut out to be, is what he's saying. Even if he knows the desire not to be a burden well himself... Sara's always already rushing around everywhere, the idea of her slacking off seems a little laughable.]
Like what? You have something in mind, Sara?
[What's with this hesitation? It's giving him the alert glint of something in him sitting up and nosing forward in paying attention.]
no subject
What is "youth" anyway? I was going to be eighteen in a month...I wanna go to a real college party. [ Perhaps even...d-drink. Her dad can't get mad if she's of age!
Shin's stare is as pointed as ever. He see's right through her guilty concious. If Sara is dead, then nothing she did mattered, but if she's alive...well...she can at least try and make it up. She presses her fingers together. It's hard to find her regular confidence under his eyes. ]
Maybe I'll take inspiration from Keiji, and become a policewomen? [ Deflecting with an obvious lie...look at her, she's learning. Sou doesn't even know what a horrible turn Mr. Policeman's career took.]
I don't know. Maybe a doctor, or a lawyer. Something good. Something really really good.
[ Please, be proud of her. Let her be someone like that. ]
no subject
[That's what happens at college parties, right? Alcohol sure unlocks some stupid decisions...
But something's going on here, and he's not sure what exactly it is or what to do with it. There's therefore a sort of gentle test-footing-ness to his speech, like a car trying to find a way across a muddy field without getting stuck. He's glad it seems like she's joking about the policewoman thing at least even if it's strangely unsettling... he knows that Keiji killed Megumi and that he's an ex-Detective if nothing else. A less than stellar picture was painted just with that.]
...you should do what you want, Sara. It's no good picking something if you're not gonna be happy with it in the long term, right?
[It's her life, after all.]
Doctor or lawyer, huh. I hear they're hard... but they pay well. Ahaha, you'd be good at that, I think.
[She's good at steering something like a trial just for the latter already. A doctor... is a little bit more of a terrifying prospect, but he's not going to crush her dreams just because he's picturing her shouting someone better.]
