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's taking the box from him at least. stop that. )

Are you that desperate for my compaNY?

You like to feel needed, so does it matter?

( no... the box is gone, okay, he'll take the cards instead. )

The cards, they'll work.

( komaeda is three years old and hasn't learned not to take other ppls shit huh

well luckily (haha) the cards do need to be touched, so natsume's less fussy about that. he sets the box down again, breathing out through his nose. )


...Shuffle them until you're conTENT, then return them to ME. You can pick anywhere from one to three cards after I spread them OUT.

( ... )

What were you saying about my taLENTS, Nagito-kun?

( with the cards in hand, he looks at the stack as if contemplating should he? luck had an odd way of backfiring on him, but he doesn't shuffle. )

What are the rates to coming out correct in your readings?

( pale green eyes watch natsume slowly, waiting for his answer as he thinks on the other... his talents.

...

not the name... )


Narcissistic, this should be about the customer and not the service provider... ah, but if you want me to speak... you should tell me what you're capable of yourself.

( because his hope is already visible to komaeda, but it's not like he'll say anything. )

( ggggggggghhhhhhhh )

My readings are correct, more often than NOT. ( there is room for error, but he tends to be a good read. and to be able to discern the cards well enough for people because of that. ) ShufFLE, Nagito-kun.

You're capable of being wrong.

( he's supposed to shuffle with what he has, but his eyes glance down at the cards, thumb brushing against the texture of them before he sets it down onto the table. )

...Besides, reading someone like me would be futile, my luck would drastically change the course of what you discern for me.

( then why is komaeda here? it was the easiest way to make conversation, and his arms cross in front of himself as he looks towards natsume. ) Sakasaki-kun, how much do you know of Arata-kun?
crystallomancy: (136)

[personal profile] crystallomancy 2021-09-15 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
( everyone is. and he almost asks why komaeda's bothering him, but then he mentions arata, and his expression shifts to curiosity. )

Not all too MUCH. He's part of the Art Club just as Kudo-chan WAS, he's good at forgeRY, and he probably has some connection to Arata-sensei... and what we learned on our little trip down his memory LANE. He has a younger sibLING, and he's supposed to be DEAD, and so ON.

( or he is, but that brings up implications for this school that... natsume will be touching on later but he doesn't want to feed now. )

( he sighs, tapping his fingers against the table. )

...Rokkun is an idiot, Sakasaki-kun, but if no one was meant to find that memory, then... it's obvious he wouldn't know Kogamo-kun if he saw them now.

( he laughs, waving his hand like that isn't what this is about. )

But I would, I'm actually engaged to them.

Aratas are pretty bold, they take what they want...

( NOT KOMAEDA'S LIFE A MOVIE )

You can be engaged to them too, if my hunch is right... you're rich too; so I'm not inclined to think otherwise —

( but that's not why they're having this conversation. )

They like money, and they're working towards a goal... just like Rokkun. Said if they met it, they could keep who they wanted.
crystallomancy: (133)

[personal profile] crystallomancy 2021-09-23 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
( does he really act like such a privileged rich kid...? (yes) )

...I wonder what that goal could BE. ( and keep who they want? what are they, collecting people like dolls? ) It certainly explains their priCES.

( ... )

Do they know Arata-senpai is HERE?

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-23 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
...By the end of the school year, that's as long as they have.

( they're both privileged rich kids, because komaeda cants his head to the side slightly confused. )

They're high? ( when you have no concept of money and just spend, he's never really noticed. he knows they're greedy, they'll take more if it's shown to them. must have came from their selling crack days. )

...They appeared during break, this is when Rokkun wasn't around... and so from our conversations, they understood that if they met him again... that he wouldn't be the same.

( that doesn't answer his question whether they know or not, but the side komaeda chooses will be a no. he's sure natsume can come to his own conclusion on the matter. )
crystallomancy: (010)

[personal profile] crystallomancy 2021-09-30 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
( so they probably don't know... or maybe they do, and they're not that eager to see just how different their older brother is. but even still, wouldn't they want to meet him again? despite... )

People don't change that MUCH. Their essence is still the SAME, regardless of what happens to THEM. ( every choice someone makes is one they could make again, or that they might choose not to... but it's always there. ) For now, it's probably in their best interests not to meet with him aGAIN... Until they express they're ready to, at LEAST.

That's what reincarnation is all about, isn't it? They're still the same person within their soul, just a different body.

( either way, komaeda nods since natsume is right, because he also has a thought like that. making sure that they don' t meet too quickly, and the idol has wise words given the relationship he worked on fixing. )

I'm in no rush unless something drastic happens, they seem fine as they are, but...

( he hums. ) Rokkun talks about graduating to see them again, and when he does... who will be there? He'll return to an empty life, how unfortunate.
