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, there's lots of places that don't see snow... and some places where it's nothing but snow.

( earth is wild, what with the non magical being aligned biomes and all that. )

Snow's really cold, and I don't know... I. I guess we're going to have to find out. Since the trees are starting to lose leaves and the wisteria tree is starting to lose flowers, I think we should expect it though. ... So, um. If you go out in the snow, bundle up properly and come back inside if your nose or fingers start hurting- toes too.

... Oh no if it snows, the star rooms are going to be so cold-

[Pssh, places with non-magically-aligned biomes... maybe if Hamel handed Lanox the Water El, Lanox would be less, you know, volcanically inclined. What's it like to have a normal world with normal stuff going on, Noah wouldn't know.]

Oh— okay. Yeah, I can do that. [He has his gloves and his stupidly heavy coat with its cape and all that, he'll be fine.] If it snows, and your room gets too cold, you can come to mine and Senku's room. I-I mean... it's probably not going to be too much better, but with the amount of science stuff Senku does in there, it'll probably be warmer...

[He's not not offering to cuddle but also, that would be too forward — and he's genuinely serious about the science things. Senku's been teaching Noah how to use some of the miscellaneous science stuff in the closet, including the Bunsen burners, and the microscope, which Noah's just been sticking random things under so that he can see them in the form of Zoomed In.]

I think we're going to have to find out the hard way... though I'm not sure how I'd feel about waking up and having the outside covered in snow except for the skylights either. It just feels like it'd be really suspicious.

( though... something suspicious does sound nicer than freezing, she supposes. )

We'll have to figure it out as we go...

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-09-13 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that would be... weird. There's nothing weird about the skylights so far, right?

[Like, there's no cosmic horror entities peering into the room while everyone sleeps, right... But snow covering the skylight sounds like it'll make the room horribly dark in the mornings, too. Dark and cold. Probably not the best feeling in the world.]

Not that I've been able to see... but. When the sun's directly overhead, it feels like I'm being watched...

( and oh boy does she HATE IT. but in the void, it's only a ceiling... )
silentabyss: (051)

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-09-14 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
...uh, yeah, that's... that's uncomfortable.

[He personally can't stand the feeling of being watched. So, he gets it. If it were him, he'd run out of the room every day just to get away.]

If you don't feel safe, I mean... you can still come out with me and Senku until the sun goes down a little more.

It suuuper is. ... I might come by now and then. Thank you.

( just... soft smile... sometimes having one of the roommates in there with her helps, and sometimes it just makes things worse. she's taken to the common room more often than not during that period. )

[A little nod as he's finishing off his food.]

Y-yeah, you don't have to thank me. I mean... you've been there for me a lot, so I have to repay the favour for you.

[As if that's the only reason he wants to keep her safe, right. Suuure, Noah.]

[personal profile] mermaidcursed 2021-09-14 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Friends look out for each other, it's not about repayment!

( and she's just gonna lightly flick his forehead! edgy boy!!! )
silentabyss: blush (048)

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-09-14 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[makes an affronted noise like, wh?! but he's not actually affronted.]

W-well! It's... I just want you to be okay, okay? That's all!
mermaidcursed: (038)

[personal profile] mermaidcursed 2021-09-14 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, and you're very sweet. I'm really lucky to have you. ... Are you still hungry? We've got some apples and stuff-
