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.
omw
My survival rate? Uhhh, I dunno... How do you figure that out?
im watching
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.
no subject
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?
no subject
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...
no subject
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]
no subject
( 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. )
no subject
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.
no subject
...
( 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?
no subject
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.
no subject
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.
no subject
[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~.
no subject
( 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?
no subject
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]
no subject
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.
no subject
[uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh he'll... take it? and. sit on the nearest spot? is counter okay. if not then he can find a stool or something]
no subject
( he laughs, amused almost, but he's not going to explain at all as he checks the kitchen cabinets to grab a shot glass. )
Let's find out, shall we?
( he pulls outa small vial of clear liquid, the label unreadable because of his fingers around it, but he pours a small dose, lifting the glass so he can spin it around so that it doesn't get stiff. it's not that type of liquid, so he walks over to the table, and sets it down right in front of subaru. ) Drink up, and your hope... will do as needed.
no subject
chances are he'll do the shot as long as it doesn't smell like cleaner but what's it smell like. subaru's lifting it up to do so, like a dog ought]
no subject
think of arsenic tbh. which komaeda's going to watch to see if subaru drinks it or not, it's not a lot, but... )
no subject
anyway it doesn't smell dangerous so he's gonna pop it back no problem, despite me personally being worried that you compared it to arsenic. now what]
no subject
( he sees the blade in subaru's hand, wondering if he'll use it while under the influence, luckily in yogen they aren't banned for drugs like this. )
If you see two of me, it's fine... I'm only the one.
( a hint to blurry vision as he walks towards the idol, looking him over as he reaches out with his mechanical hand to pry open one of his eye. checking to see if there's any dilation, because that does happen with the consumption of poison. )
no subject
Oh... Okay? Are you gonna be on the left or the right side?
[why............... did he let komaeda poison him. natsume's not gonna have any pity on him for this. he's gonna keep this a secret from natsume actually. natsume doesn't need to know if he's just going to judge him anyway. yeah. subaru's nervous, but it's too late to go back now; he's made a decision and he's gonna stick with it.
unfortunately, he's gotta.]
no subject
( he knows he's a little too early to check, but the urge to gouge out the other's eye with him so close nags at the back of his head. the chance to get rid of him, but losing an eye doesn't guarantee death, so there's no need for him to attempt. instead, he smiles softly as his hand pulls away from subaru's face. besides, with him so close, the other could stab, or will he let go of the knife? it raises various questions because for komaeda-arata, there's a security in bloodshed, there's hope that's brought by acting on his own accord by the use of taking lives — )
If you walk around, it'll work faster —
( make the heart race, and then it'll never stop, it's an overwhelming feeling he thinks, so to allow subaru to experience that would be good. )
So come with me. ( and komaeda-arata is making his way towards the exit of the kitchen, leaning against the side as he waits for the other. )
no subject
komaeda never said he had to bring it with him, and honestly, why would he. that'll just raise more questions and if they get stopped, someone might really figure out something wrong with subaru.]
Where're we goin'?
no subject
( to overcome the position that they're in, to figure out the mysteries that stand in their way — it make not be to graduate, but it's to bring them closer to a hope that'll spread among others, no longer allowing them to cower in fear. who will be that beacon? as they make their way down the hall, they'll turn a quick left so they're able to walk towards the exit of the dormitories. )
I know what's good for your hope, that's all I want to do... is cultivate that beautiful essence between you all... to see you all make it.
( it's all he has left in him anyway. )
no subject
And what about you? Are you including yourself in that, or are you gonna stick around once we're set and wave goodbye?
