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.

If you scratch at these doors, 11:58PM, you'll be able to find people who abide by the rules.

( he points at a few of the dorm room's doors, crouching down in front of one where he puts a piece of tape as a location for crona to use. )

Every night, pick someone at random, and leave claw marks... don't stay too long, because you don't want to be caught, and then you'll be part of the system. Oh... do you like your room, you can do it to who you live with as well.
radnarok: (SPOOKED)

[personal profile] radnarok 2021-09-11 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
A-am I part of a club now??? Do you want me to scratch your door?

[ S-so many rules. And why...so that the cat stays doing? They have to wake up at night and claw at doors? Well, anything for Komeada. ]

Mhm. I like my room, Stephanie invited me to live with her. She says if I close the door I have to make sure you aren't hiding in the closet.

( he nods confirming that they're part of the club, and they can scratch at their door.. an ultimate will be able to get through any fake-cat scratches during the night. )

Stephanie talked about me!?

( like he's surprised about that, oh, why would she even bring him up?! )

Show me your room, I want to check the size of your closet! Let me in every time I ask, okay?
radnarok: (sweet child)

[personal profile] radnarok 2021-09-12 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Apologies to anyone who will hear horrible scratching noises at night in the dorms now. ]

Not a ton, just you know, she knows we're friends and she says I can invite you over as long as you don't hide in our ceiling for too long.

[These are Rules, and must be followed! ]

Okay, I can take you. [ They'll point down the hallway to Sun 3 with an expectant expression. Absolutely guileless, of course Komeada can check all the hiding spots...so he knows not to use them! ] Buuuut I put up a sign. No murdering okay, or she'll be mad.

I checked, there's no crawlspaces here to use... It does ruin the element of surprise.

( he sighs, a hand on his hip as he stands in front of crona's door — no murdering sounds boring, but it sounds on brand for stephanie... )

I'll do my best! All the people I do decide to murder, I'll make sure it's in the next room over; so you can let me in!

( he looks down at them beaming, almost innocent. )
radnarok: (smile smile)

[personal profile] radnarok 2021-09-19 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
You could build a tunnel?

[ Crona thinks if Komeada just randomly came out of the walls...that could be kind of fun? Like a suprise sleepover. ]

Oh, yeah I think thats fine. Stephanie probably won't mind.

[ Beams back. ]

Actually... where would you connect the tunnel, if we look at how the rooms are arranged, they'd be visible unless we hid the hole behind portraits...

( which he's not against, but maybe when he's inside of their room, he can think of an idea... maybe if they made holes in the floor, in the corner of their closet. )

She wouldn't! Besides, she's not here to say otherwise! That's the joy of asking for things when no one is around...
radnarok: (30)

[personal profile] radnarok 2021-09-21 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmmmmm....I can just fill the holes up with everyone's spare rocks.

[ Do you know how many people here play gatcha, its wonderful. So...hopeful, right? Rock gatcha has to be hope, because it makes everyone happy despite monetary destruction. ]

Oh yeah, what's the saying I heard the other day. Ask for forgiveness, not permission? What a scary philosophy, but you're nice, so its fine.

...Then we have to enter every person's room to make a system beneath, but I wonder...

( sighs as i get ready to ask ori if that's possible.

he stops to check the floor, wondering if he can pull at the panels or tiles before him if that's the case. it'd take a little work, but combined with crona's efforts, he's not too worried. )


That's why you shouldn't worry if the answer is no... they'll always forgive you.

( though he feels like crona may use this against him one day, so he's already wondering if he should have said that. )
radnarok: (lil stars)

[personal profile] radnarok 2021-09-23 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
If only I had my sword...

[ They could just hit the ground with it till they made a hole. The panels don't look that put together.]

That's the funny thing about people here. Nobody's hurt me, even once. Isn't that kind of weird? I used to think trusting people not to do that was stupid.

[ Said with full unironic genuineness in a murderschool. ]

Do you know what that means?

( His brow raises curiously as well, looking over to crona as he takes in the expression that they wear. not one person has bothered them in this school, and that is... telling, the way they casually walk around unharmed when anyone could kill them — even komaeda has had his own thoughts. simply because his mind doesn't function as correctly anymore, if he isn't causing harm to himself, others are a target from his "helping," and he smiles softly. )

To think that they trust you, that's actually quite useful... that shows the extent of your hope, that they can rely on you, why throw away what isn't broken?

( although... ) ... A sword would be nice, though.
