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.

What kind of trust exercise has people dy--

[she stops short, stumbles on a jump. stares at him.]

... Komaeda. What are you gonna do with my diary.
commences: (pic♯14928506)

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-06 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
I know, you think I'm horrible enough to toss it.

( he's not dumb, but it would help a lot of things if he did. )

Fortunately yes, but not right now, no... I want to touch it, how bad will the currents take a person out?
closewithnewintown: (day of the week)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-09-06 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Not right now" is really not the answer I want...

[she puts her hands on her hips.] If this place made it, it's built to kill you. Don't touch it.
commences: (pic♯14928505)

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-06 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, great, that's perfect; let's test it.

( he will stuff her diary in his pocket, and he's going to walk over to touch it...

eight more steps...
six more steps... )
closewithnewintown: (if it didn’t always beg me to rest)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-09-06 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
[a pause.

then, she lunges forward, wrapping her arms around his middle.]

( surprising... his hand lowers, organic settles on her arm gently, and he lightly taps amused. )

Hm? Is this your attempt to steal your diary back?

( he asks, looking down at her hands. )
closewithnewintown: ('til the dots disappear)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-09-06 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
If you wanna fry yourself? You're gonna have to fry us both.

( what the FUCK stephanie, did she hear that from amami... these self sacrifices are getting out of hand! he'll comment about it later, instead his expression falls flat. )

There's no need for two people to check the voltage, someone has to relay the information to others if one person doesn't make it. This is counterproductive.

( in dad mode voice: stephanie, you do NOT!. )
closewithnewintown: (wait don't go away)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-09-06 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
There's no need for anybody to check the voltage! Do you put your hand on the stove to see if it's hot?

[... wait do not answer that question.]

You already saw what it did to the soccer ball. If it's already done that to one hard thing that's full of air, imagine what it'll do to your head.

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-06 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
That type of thinking is a setback, but because I want to see the hope here prosper, doing this would work in everyone's favor.

( how much does a person have to go through to get to the other side, and if komaeda factors in his luck, probably a little less compared to how far he'd get. )

It'll be fine.
closewithnewintown: (am I normal or not?)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-09-06 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
[says nothing. just grips on tighter.]
commences: (pic♯15047353)

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-06 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
...?

( stephanie...

he sighs, taking a step off to the side so they can follow how far the fence extends. )


Should we make a compromise for my life?
closewithnewintown: (I have the tools to dig)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-09-06 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
...

I mean, we absolutely should not have to, but it does seem like we're heading in that direction.
commences: (pic♯14928507)

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-06 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
We can be fair... a life for a life, how would you like to play this game?

( it's not that bad. )
closewithnewintown: (I try to breathe deep as I try to)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-09-06 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
That's not fair at all. Lives aren't tradeable.
commences: (pic♯14928742)

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-06 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
In this aspect, they are...

( let's see...

...

...

he smiles. )


I have the perfect trade.
closewithnewintown: (I’d be fonder of the world that I live)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-09-06 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[just the overwhelming certainty that whatever she's about to hear is going to be the stupidest thing she's ever heard. the "having any conversation with komaeda" feeling.]

I'm listening.
commences: (pic♯15038337)

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-06 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I won't put my life on the line with the electric fence, if...

( ... )

You forgive another life, Rokkun's specifically.
closewithnewintown: (for every thing that’s on its way)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-09-06 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[extended sigh as her certainty is confirmed.]

Are you really saying you're gonna kill yourself by throwing yourself into an electric fence if a ten year old doesn't like your boyfriend?
commences: (pic♯14928490)

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-06 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You're not a ten year old, you're a hopeful ten year old!

( and that means everything, he's even placing his hands on his waist like he's proud of himself. ah, hope... )

I'll do anything for hope, but... that's not what I said. ( ahem. ) I'll kill myself if you don't make up hope with Rokkun's hope... ( rokkun. not boyfriend. ) seeing two people argue when they can join together, and make this club even more fruitful... I'll be damned if I let it pass us by...
Edited 2021-09-06 20:16 (UTC)
closewithnewintown: (feels like I’m tumbling)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-09-06 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
You are so weird. [shakes her head slightly] Fiiiiiiiiine. Your boyfriend isn't banned from Athletics Club. And I'll forgive him for being the biggest jerk in the world. Happy?

[the fact that he keeps avoiding it makes her think it bothers him and thus she will Not Stop.]
commences: (pic♯14928740)

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-06 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
...No, because I don't know who you're talking about.

( going to sidestep towards the fence, even if he's dragging stephanie along.

... )
closewithnewintown: (behavior)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-09-06 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Your boyfriend that you love and you wanna hold his hand and get married on the grass at Wembley Stadium--

[is dragged]
commences: (pic♯14928497)

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-06 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I really don't know what you're talking about... you do have a creative imagination.

( komaeda's not interested in fulfilling the thoughts in her mind either. )

Though, it's bad to tell lies... but you've been lying to the group for awhile, so I should have expected this turn of events.
closewithnewintown: (so where's the karma doc)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-09-06 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I never lie, ever, in my entire life. [you know, like a liar.]
