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.

... Dunno. It'd be really sad if I was dead. I don't think my uncle would be able to handle that.

[she glances down at her arm, frowning.]

He's creepy. He always says things that make a lot of sense. [and that's why she hates him btw.] And he's always offering snacks. Like in fairy stories, where you have to stay forever if you eat their food.
samuraiwomen: (its nothing)

[personal profile] samuraiwomen 2021-09-10 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
If we're dead then all of this doesn't really matter... So I'd like to think we're all alive, and we can all escape. Why not believe in that, just for a while? [ Just her own advice. Thinking about doom and gloom isn't very productive. ]

Snacks you say... [ Don't tell her that, thats actually tempting. She has to shake her head to remember that every rumor she's heard about him is terrible. ]

What do you mean, makes a lot of sense?
closewithnewintown: (for every thing that’s on its way)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-09-10 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
... I can't describe it. It's just... the way he says things makes the things he say sound like they make perfect sense.

[fusses with her bracelets]

I don't like it.

Isn't that what a counseler is supposed to do? Make sense?

[ She's not disagreeing she's just puzzled. ]

He didn't tell you to do anything bad, did he?
closewithnewintown: (I ponder whether I think)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-09-11 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
He said I should trade my servant's memories for a bean bag chair.

[this is very much a misinterpretation of that situation but three can keep a secret if one of them is dead and the other is an evil fairy.]
samuraiwomen: (gross)

[personal profile] samuraiwomen 2021-09-11 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ Help. Sara is just standing awkwardly in the middle of the field listening to this and nodding like, ok. Yes. I see. ]

And that...made sense?
closewithnewintown: (the good faith that's been wasted)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-09-11 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
It is a pretty nice beanbag chair. And Hyde didn't care.

That's not the stuff that makes sense, though. That was just the bad stuff. I think he likes murders, too; he only talks to people that do them. [pause] The stuff that makes sense... He's the only adult I've met that doesn't act like we're supposed to be here.
samuraiwomen: (sideye)

[personal profile] samuraiwomen 2021-09-11 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
If those memories weren't that precious...I couldn't fault you. I'd love a beanbag chair for the dorms. [ She could throw it at people who annoyed her...ideal. ]

And so you suspect he's more in control of this place then the rest. Smart. [ Because Sara is on her Best Behavior. ] I'm inclined to believe you're right.

Er...but why were you talking to him?
closewithnewintown: (I’d be fonder of the body I live in)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-09-11 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
It's in my room. I could move it to the common room.

'Cause I was Hyde's master. Hyde killed people all the time, so since I became his master, I got to go into a meeting. [frowns] I probably won't get another chance like that. I'm never gonna kill anyone, and Lucifer and Clamor would probably have a fit if I made another pact.
samuraiwomen: (nuetral 3)

[personal profile] samuraiwomen 2021-09-11 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
Only if you want. It's yours, after all.

Hyde...he was a strange guy. [ Her memories aren't all bad...he did help her clean blood off a uniform once. But he attacked Noah, so Sara doesn't think she'd forgive him for that. ] You can't make a pact with Lucifer-san? He's a demon, so he must have some powers like that.

Mhm. No chance? You can't just show up at his office and ask to talk? [ She gives Steph a smile. ] Maybe he's a teacher...or something worse! But if he doesn't lock his doors, can't you just go bother him?

He was really mad when Hyde did it, so I don't think he likes that sort of thing. I just did it because I didn't want somebody bad to become his master.

[for all the good it did.]

You can't even turn the doorknob unless you're invited in. And you're only invited in if you murder somebody... Or if you get in a fight, apparently. That's how Kokichi said he got in.
samuraiwomen: (thinkee)

[personal profile] samuraiwomen 2021-09-11 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
How irresponsible of him... Only wanting to deal with violent problems. [ She agrees with Steph he does sound like a creep...albeit one she does want to meet now. If only to know who she's dealing with. ]

Huh...fights aren't hard to start? I'm sure you could get in one and go see him... Er only if you want! I was just thinking, since nobody else has shown up, and we're out in the field, if you want some practice.

Has anyone shown you how to punch something?
closewithnewintown: (where the hell is the karma?)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-09-11 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I know how to do it without breaking my hand! [cheerfully] I'm not sure what separates the kind of fights that get counselor appointments versus the kinds that just... kinda happen. I mean, I don't think Rika got an invite after she stabbed Shuichi.
