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.

( he thinks about saying he can, too. that he sympathizes with her. but that would bring questions he doesn't want to answer, so he takes her hands and untangles their fingers, holding them in his instead. )

Why don't we find something to cover these up WITH? At least for the moMENT, until we can figure out how to deal with THEM.

( ...to help them or to get rid of them, whichever comes first. )

( there's something cruel, she thinks, about seeing people suffering and just covering it up. but she doesn't know what to do, so she nods, letting natsume take her hands with a soft squeeze on her end. )

Okay. ... We can probably use some cloth from the home ec room. I-I was thinking about using some already, to make canopy curtains for me and Shinobu-nee's beds, but I don't know how to hang them up.

We can figure that out while we're at IT.

( she's a nice girl, so she probably feels bad about just covering them up, but... they're disturbing for the moment; they don't know what to do about them for the moment; it's better like this.

he'll pull her along then, ultimately keeping her left hand in his right so that his blind spot on his right is covered. )


We might have to look in the workshop and see if they have any long RODS... How are your beds set UP? I didn't give any of them too long a LOOK, since Baru-kun immediately noticed we had "Star" rooms and wanted to check those out FIRST.

We're in a Star room, too. It's got a bunkbed in one corner, and then in the other two corners are normal beds.

( for right now, nene's taking a normal bed- though she knows on some level, hanako will at least be coming in to watch over her. it's not like he needs to sleep, after all. ... h. hopefulyl shinobu doesn't mind? if no one joins them, they can keep extra blankets and pillows on the bunk bed until it's time to use them, or something. )

It's... probably the same for yours. If we figure it out, you'll probably be able to use this too, I bet.

( wouldn't be a bad idea. bunkbeds... he already knows subaru will want to share, so he'll just give him the top and take the bottom for himself. not preferable, but the better option now. )

That'd be NICE. I can put up a curtain for my BUNK. ( all his secret witchy spells. ) Let's find something to hang them up on THEN... Or make someTHING. I'm handy with a hamMER.

( oh! she had no idea he could build things too... what a renaissance man, honestly. the bunk bed probably did allow the most privacy... but she wants to see the stars overhead, for a while.

idly, nene squeezes his hand in hers. )


It'll be easier with yours, you just need a rod and something to keep it still while it's up- like, a wedge or something... Maybe we should get measurements first?

( thinking about natsume and his little toolbox in the prop room where he lives now in ensemble square because that's his new "secret room" away from yumenosaki......... )

I'll handle THAT. You go on ahead to the home ec room and pick out some fabric for us BOTH... You have excellent taste, after ALL.

Alright! I'm sure they won't mind if I just... borrow the pallet for a little bit. Where should I meet you?

( because frankly her tasks are going to be far easier. already she's thinking about what colors and patterns to look for... would something thin with a thicker pattern look pretty...? )

[personal profile] crystallomancy 2021-09-14 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
( where to meet... oh. )

The first FLOOR. We'll walk back to the dormitories togeTHER.

( a lil treat ♪ )

Okay!

( granted, they're still getting to the school... but planning ahead was important. especially when in a murderschool where people went missing into thin air all the time and turned up dead later. good idea to know where you last saw someone and where they were headed, just in case you get worried. )

Mm... now that I'm thinking about it, I'm not actually sure what bed I wanna claim... the stars at night would be really pretty, but I dunno if I want glass directly overhead while I sleep.

( off they go then. )

Afraid you'll wake up and see a shadow looking IN?
