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.

[You see, Lucifer is constantly worried. It comes with the job of being someone who believes he's the Only One capable of caring for literally anyone at all. So yes, he will worry, and no one will be able to stop his fretting, as much as he himself would like to appear cold and unbothered... it doesn't work on Sidney anyway. In the past, Sidney has read him like a damn book.]

Yes, please avoid doing anything needlessly reckless, for our sake as well as your own. [As if Lucifer's one to talk.] At the very least, the pool is open now. Swimming should do you wonders.

[If Beelzebub were here, he'd have a fitness regime made for Sidney at Lucifer's request, including snack breaks. Like, way too many snack breaks.]

Mm. That's right, it's available now...

( he's never even considered the idea of swimming with one arm- not more than a few passing seconds, when he sees those inspiration porn stories about others... and when it's others, people who you'll see for a few minutes in a news article, who's name you'll forget in a few minutes, it feels less like people and more like any old story. you don't think you'll end up in their own situation.

he's going to have to relearn how to swim, on some level. )


I'll be careful. Promise.

I can help you. I'm no physical therapist, [and the school counselor isn't a physical therapist either and is usually in his little room doing his little war crimes, and the nurse isn't a physical therapist either and is just a smol bean; basically the staff here isn't qualified,] but I can at least make sure you don't drown.

[Lucifer will not be taking his shirt off to swim, he'd rather just get in the pool in a full diving suit because of his back scars. But.]

I know you'll be careful, though. You normally are.

[Sidney gets a little cheek kiss in between bites.]

I do enjoy not drowning, it's pretty high up on the list of things I like happening when I go to the beach or pool.

( sidney. sidney, please. but a physical therapist... at the moment, getting proper treatment and help sounds like a pipe dream sometimes. but he didn't give up in the manor. he can't give up here. but he can lean into the affection lucifer gives with ease, sighing softly. )

I will, yes. I can't afford anything less.

What's the highest on the list of things you like happening at the water's edge, then?

[Lucifer manages a soft laugh at that. Not drowning is his number two priority, besides making sure that none of his brothers or Demon King forbid, Lord Diavolo drown either — and then after that is making sure everyone's wearing sunscreen and that Satan doesn't go wandering off into caves that flood at high tide again, and that Asmo doesn't rail half the beach-goers, and that Beel doesn't eat a beach ball, and—

...

So as you can see Lucifer doesn't know what fun is.]


It sounds as though not drowning is a little lower than some other priorities.

( deadpan (humorous): )

Well, I just can't stand when I go to the beach and I step on a crab. The absolute worst.

... More seriously, you know what happens with beached whales?

( and he's going to let that speak for itself, don't look up a video please. )
carpevinum: (A True Gentleman)

[personal profile] carpevinum 2021-09-13 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Something about the statement with that deadpan tone gets Lucifer to bark out a short but loud laugh. Unholy Hells, Sidney, he loves you so much.]

Yes, I am — unfortunately — familiar with the concept of exploding whales.

[He says it so casually and comically, too.]

...don't tell me you have firsthand experience with that?

[personal profile] wolfetracks 2021-09-16 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I wasn't close enough to be hit by anything, at the very least. But I did witness it.

( and boy was that a mess, honestly. in multiple ways! but he's going to not think about it, because he's trying to eat. )

My only thanks that day- other than being at a distance- is that the niece and nephew weren't there to witness it.

... ( no he's not done eating the main course but he's nabbing one of those strawberries- )

[personal profile] carpevinum 2021-09-19 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lucifer perceives you, sir, but he'll excuse it because they're talking about whales exploding.]

Off the topic of something so unsavoury... do you like those strawberries? They're fairly easy to make — I could show you how, if you'd like. Once you're feeling up to it, of course.

[Maybe... gay cooking lessons, part 2... the LuSid edition?]

...Asmodeus always liked those. [Sighs, his brothers...]

I'd like that. --We'll have to show Clamor, he got so excited when we cooked together.

( he still remembers that cute smile when clamor had been explaining the vegan recipes he'd found- the way he'd fluster while sidney leaned in to point something out... he really was so sweet for that man, honestly.

which isn't to say he's not ready to lean into lucifer's side just as happily, of course. which he is, right now. but the idea of cooking together will always make him think of their partner. )


... I can see why. They're wonderful. ... You'll see them again.
carpevinum: (012)

[personal profile] carpevinum 2021-09-23 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I can imagine. Always a ray of sunshine, that one.

[Even when he had a splitting headache during the mission they were on. All smiles and reassurances, that one. Lucifer swears he's going to lay on Clamor and make him take a nap.]

...I know I will. Eventually. They can't survive without me for that long. I'd like to introduce both you and Clamor to them one day — I think I've said that before, but it still holds true. Satan would be fond of both of you, even if you're connected to me.

[A nerdy spellcaster who loves detective novels? Yeah, Satan's going to idolize both Sidney and Clamor, just a little bit.]
