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.

fjaw;fjel let him be a lamb of hope

[personal profile] starrypoint 2021-09-09 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[he can. subaru's gonna have these for a good bit of time, it stings and he feels bad for anyone who's had their mouth duct taped before

... of course he's not giving the tape back???]


People aren't tools to be used. [and he's like, weirdly firm about this.] And I know that at least Sai-chan would never think of someone like that, 'cause he's kind, and I'm sure the other ones are the same, too.

[... well. maybe.]

Even if you're totally nuts, you're still a person. You don't really sound like you think of yourself that way, though.
commences: (pic♯14928489)

HGDDHHF so he's into cannibalism.... if it's for hope...

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-09 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
...Why do you keep bringing up Saihara-kun, he'll be the one to successfully utilize me.

( komaeda has high hopes in him, and why wouldn't he? saihara's hopes are one of the brightest yet, and even komaeda can feel his heart skip a beat at the thought. that hope...

sighs wistfully. )


If no one can, he will, but if every Ultimate wants to use me for their needs, then I can't say no... It'd be a lucky day to carry out their wills and desires!

( he places a new paper on the door, looking towards subaru's tape in hand. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to apply tape on the flyer. )
starrypoint: (pic#13301288)

correct. me as well

[personal profile] starrypoint 2021-09-09 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
'Cause he's the only one I know, I think? Besides who you pointed out in the forums... Though I stopped reading after a while.

[no big reason. also he'll. reluctantly tape the paper to the door, even though he's gonna tear it off when he's done helping komaeda put these up,

which he has decided he's doing]


Is like, your whole life just circled around being used by those chosen people?
commences: (pic♯15047735)

wait maybe we have the same.... tastes SLAPS KNEEE

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-09 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
You think? ( don't sound offended, don't sound offended. it's better that way. )

It's up to me to promote their talents to the world, so you should have continued reading, and understood who not to bother.

( he pauses, thinking back to the information he gave on the network which was just voices, and nothing aside from that. he waits for subaru to tape the paper up, and once it's done, they can walk to the next door as komaeda shifts through the many sheets he has in his arm. )

Rather... ( idolizing them would be criminal, instead, he loves them, so he watches them, cherishes them. loves them like a father would want the best for their child, but he looks up to them like a child would find a superhero. ) Why don't you just stay away from me? It'd be better for you.

NMS NOOOOO I LOVE YOUUUU

[personal profile] starrypoint 2021-09-09 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[the way those are friendship words for subaru tho]

So that way I'm sure to stay away from those guys?

please dont be proud of that joke im crying

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-09 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
( because people die around komaeda, that's why. rather than saying that, he hums in thought, eyes closed while lips purse together in a straight line. )

Akehoshi-kun...

( he grabs a piece of paper from the list, crumpling it, and after he looks off to the side. )

What's up, Maddy?

[did he decide the rules are dumb after all...?]

( STOPPPPPPP WHAT DOES HE WANT FROM KOMAEDA!! )

You said that none of your unitmates are here...

( he'll give him a little piece of komaeda thoughts and prayers. ) What's your survival rate?
starrypoint: (interdigitate15)

omw

[personal profile] starrypoint 2021-09-09 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[KOMAEDA SAID THE FRIENDSHIP WORDS!!! SO HE WANTS TO BEFRIEND HIM!!]

My survival rate? Uhhh, I dunno... How do you figure that out?

( NO HE DOESN'T!! HE JUST WANTS TO TELL KOMAEDA HE'S WRONG FOR HAVING FEELINGS!! )

Have you ever stabbed yourself blindly and see what came of it? Your hope is small... so I think you'd find excuses to avoid doing it.

( is that bait? maybe it is, or maybe he's genuinely curious about what the other would do. )

But... if you're stabbed, you'll be able to anticipate it in the future much better.
starrypoint: (interdigitate37)

[personal profile] starrypoint 2021-09-10 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[NO YOUR FEELINGS ARE VALID JUST DUMB!!!]

I don't need an excuse to know that you shouldn't just stab yourself, Maddy~. That's common sense. But I think anyone who got stabbed and didn't have someone to help them would be more likely to die?
commences: (pic♯14928486)

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-10 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
( STOP HES FINE!! )

Who would help you, if you stabbed yourself next to me?

( this is how subaru should look at it, who will save him... who would react because if it's him and komaeda, doesn't that sound like accepting death. )

It'd be rather cold if we couldn't count on each other, though...

[..................

well

he'd say natsume, but he Knows natsume would let his ass nearly bleed out if he did it to himself. he wouldn't want to go to nene, or shopkeepkun..... none of the other npcs either. lena, maybe... not aira.]


I think... No matter how small a person's hope, it's still hope that can change something. So you wouldn't let me die if you could help it, because I'm still worth something to this world, even if it can't be compared to others.

So I trust you, Maddy.

[plain and simple and genuine]
commences: (pic♯15038329)

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-11 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
You believe that I have that much faith in your hope that I wouldn't let you die, even if it meant your death would mold a stronger hope for others?

( how bold to say he's worth something when the world is filled with so many worthless individuals who take up the light of various people — komaeda can't deny, subaru's positivity is infectious. he hasn't seen how it effects others around him, and it does nothing for komaeda, but that's because he's positive on his own. even hsi own smile hasn't left from his lips despite how he ponders about the idol, his eyes looking towards him. )

Akehoshi-kun... you have one chance to prove it to me.

( it can't be compared to the ultimates, and at least he understands that... he hums, and with his mechanical hand, he holds it out for the jock to take. )

[personal profile] starrypoint 2021-09-11 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[an animal knows when it's in danger. they have a built in fight-or-flight response, especially after accessing situations, and komaeda triggers it. especially with the first part, letting him die for the sake of a greater hope or whatever. this dude is insane in the membrane and no matter how much subaru befriends him that is always gonna be the one thing that's off-putting about him,

but subaru takes komaeda's hand, because he chooses to believe in komaeda, and if ori has to process my drop in a few hours because komaeda lets him die then that's just how it is]


And you've got one chance to prove me right, too! I really do believe that you wouldn't let me die, Maddy~. There's worth in everyone.
commences: (pic♯14928611)

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-11 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
( the way subaru was at the investigation so he can't die right now, the only saving grace of coming with komaeda — good luck and bad luck. )

...

( he pauses in thought as he brings the other through the halls, and he can see where komaeda has covered up a few doors in flyers of rules, and then there's a few doors that don't have them. rather, they've been slipped underneath the door door, stuffed, crinkled up from how insistent he is. )

...You spoke of hope before. ( on the network. ) Were you honest, is that what hope is to you?
starrypoint: (interdigitate41)

[personal profile] starrypoint 2021-09-11 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[thank god he can't die just yet

it takes subaru a moment to remember what he'd said, or at least the vagues of it, but he nods all the same]


Yup! Why? It didn't sound like you really disagreed with it, just me wanting to be friends with the people you don't want me to be friends with.
commences: (pic♯14928614)

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-12 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
( because komaeda's selective, and those are people that subaru doesn't need to be around, even komaeda shouldn't be around them. )

When it comes to hope, I understand it better than anyone... I understand that together their hope could grow to exponential heights, it could open new paths covered by the darkness...

( as they come to the kitchen, he waits for subaru to let his hand go. )

I don't want anyone ruining it for them.
starrypoint: (interdigitate34)

[personal profile] starrypoint 2021-09-13 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think you understand hope at all, actually.

[bold words for someone now in a space of a lot of sharp things with a person who is known Dangerous. subaru will let go of his hand]

But all that stuff's more of Natsume and Eichi-senpai's division, not mine~.
commences: (pic♯14928505)

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-13 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
That's a shame, you really must be an airheaded idiot... I'll help you, it's the least I can do so you won't embarrass me anymore.

( komaeda knows hope, he comes from a hopeful place unlike subaru, but he's going to search for something sharp. maybe a knife... he finds one that's butter until...

shing... a butcher knife is in his grasp. )


You said that if something happened to you, I wouldn't let you die?
starrypoint: (interdigitate39)

[personal profile] starrypoint 2021-09-13 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[oof

that is a big ass chopper

subaru stares at it and thinks of the horror movies featuring them. they're never anything good. on the other hand, he does have a point to prove. komaeda's out of his mind and he already doesn't like subaru too much, subaru is aware of this, but

he does have a point to prove, and whatever comes of that he'll. deal with afterwards. maybe this will swing in his favor.]


Yeah, I said what I said.

[it's a little hesitant, because any sane person would be, but he's resisting shying away like a sane person should]
commences: (pic♯14928583)

[personal profile] commences 2021-09-13 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
( he sets the butcher knife down on the table, while it would be a good item to cut someone in half, this doesn't mean he wants to do that to subaru — he has to have a chance to fight back, to use his hope to overcome the despair of death. komaeda knows that watching him die now would be meaningless because he knows there's no one here to mourn him just yet, to use his life to walk upon, and move forward.

komaeda would never kill to kill, but this is about testing subaru's hope. )


Here.

( he holds it out to the other, handle first as the sharp blade sits in komaeda's hand, but hasn't yet broken the skin. )

You'll be holding onto this, it may be best... if you sit down.
starrypoint: (interdigitate98)

[personal profile] starrypoint 2021-09-14 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Do you... do this with everyone you test the trust of?

[uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh he'll... take it? and. sit on the nearest spot? is counter okay. if not then he can find a stool or something]
