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.
no subject
[she's read about it, read about the ocean - but where she lived, it was landlocked, and there was only ponds, lakes. not the great expanse of saltwater that apparently stretched on forever and ever.]
no subject
I've been plenty of times... The school me, Natsume, and Aira go to is right by the ocean, actually, so you have a reaaally nice view of it... Daikichi likes walking down that way too — he's my dog, a Shiba Inu that's pretty small for his breed, maybe about the size of a cat and very round... Soft, mostly brown with white on his muzzle, down to his paws and tail. Cute little eyebrows too!!
— Whoops, sorry~. The beach, the beach! It's like...
[... how do you describe the beach. he stares up at the skylight, humming softly.]
The sand's gritty and warm. It's pretty firm stepping on it, but you can stick your toes and hands into it really easily... Even before you step on the beach, you can hear the sound of the ocean, [he makes a woosh, woosh sort of sound you'd hear at the beach,] and as you get closer, it gets louder. The sand by the sea's warm too, a little cooler than anything that's had sun on it but still warm, and it feels so nice to have it roll over your body...
What else... The whole places smells like the water in here. It's salty and fresh, and it's one of my faaaavorite places to be. Especially at night, when you can see the stars twinkling across the horizon, and at dawn, when the sun rises over the waves.
Was that enough~?
no subject
Helena sighs contentedly, caught up in her imaginings. how fortunate Subaru is that he can be so close to the beach regularly - but then again, she has a little luck of her own, since there's someone willing to tell her about it.]
Yes, thank you...It sounds incredible, like a place it's hard to get tired of, even if you spend hours there...
[somewhere to be inspired by.]
When we get out of this place, and we can go where we want, the beach is exactly where I want to go.
no subject
[ohhh he's so excited... he wants to make a beach... or he wants to go to the beach...]
We're suppooooosed to be graduating this year, [they're both third years,] so maybe they'll let us get away with a bit...☆ But I dunno, maybe not. We're usually supposed to be too focused on studying and getting into whatever we wanna do this year, especially the later it gets into the year.
[... what'll happen at the usual graduation time, he wonders. it puts a nervous itch under his skin, one he doesn't really like, so he hasn't tried thinking too much about it but maybe it's something to ask shopkeep-kun about. he'd ask hiroppi, but he doesn't wanna worry the kid too much]
no subject
[the perks of living with a nerd, honestly.]
But as to what's normal, I'll have to follow your lead - waking up here was the first time I've ever attended a school like this.
no subject
Really? What sorta school did you go to before?
no subject
[kicking her feet a little, it helps her keep drifting in the water.]
But before I came here, I was ready to take the leap and go off to college. Still am - it'll be different, I know, when I go, but it'll be a whole new adventure!
no subject
[...............]
How old're you, Lena?
[it occurs to him he doesn't know and has been assuming she's like, his age,]
no subject
[and every day she prays that when she hits twenty she'll be afforded a little more height.]
What about you?
no subject
[... so chances are it'll get swept under the rug.]
Awww, how lonely~. All of your birthdays are pretty close together, mine's the furthest away.
no subject
[then he gets two special days, but also gets to be in the same cluster as everyone else. she likes Subaru already - she doesn't want him to feel left out if possible.]
no subject
Y'mean it?! Yay! You're awesome, Lena! And if we celebrate your half-birthdays too, we'll have another cluster in the summer!
no subject
[maybe not something as grand as what you do for a birthday, but...]
A day where you're simply happy the other person is alive, that sounds perfect.
no subject
[... mm. maybe he should ask npckun when their birthday is; he'd like to do something for them, too, whenever it is... unless it's past his own "graduation" date? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm he'll do something super belated then ☆]
Hey, for things that're a little closer, d'you think the school'll be doing any fun Halloween stuff?
no subject
[she'll settle for spooky stories and a mug of whatever is closest to cider that they can make up. maybe if they smashed some apples to make juice...]
