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
[Time has been a bit wibbly wobbly for a bit now, and his head still has that funky unfresh weird feeling of waking up on the wrong side of... Existing? Reality? Something along those lines. Point being, he's pretty sure of roughly three things:
1. He's somehow been here for a long ass time and no time at all.
2. An actual bed sounds like a damn gift from up on high, and he doesn't even care that Yukio once again gets the top bunk like when they were kids.
3. That kitchen is his.
This isn't to say that he's not going to share, of course. Simply put, the dorm kitchen is a lot more accessible than the one in the school proper, and Rin is hellbent on making sure it stays in pristine condition at all times. This means that each and every surface has to be free of any sort of dust or grime before anyone even thinks about stocking the place with food, and he's taken it upon himself to bring things up to his standards.
The counters have been scrubbed to a shine, the fridge drawers and shelves lined up next to the sink to airdry after being removed from the inner casing of the fridge itself and properly hosed down. The microwave door has been left open after receiving similar treatment, and Rin himself can be found draped halfway into the open oven as he works on the inside with a rough sponge. A bang prefaces a hissed out curse, and after a moment he emerges from the oven to sit back on his heels, a scrunched expression on his face as he rubs at the back of his head.]
Dammit, ow--
II | Roof
[Skipping class to climb up onto the roof apparently isn't as novel of an idea as he had originally thought it might have been, and Rin has taken to carefully scoping out the place to make fully sure its empty before he settles down to spend time up there. It reminds him a bit of the Boys' Dorm back home, and the rooftop there had always been a peaceful place to laze around on and watch the clouds drift by.
His visits are less about a sense of languid tranquility now, however, as approaching as he's up there will reveal him seated cross-legged in front of a row of three candles. A look of intense frustration is deeply set onto his face, focused solely on the layout in front of him to the point where the arrival of anyone else might go completely unnoticed on his part.
Eventually, after several long minutes of intense silence and no change in the candles whatsoever, Rin lets out an annoyed groan and promptly tosses himself back to lay prone.] Stupid dumbass candle bullshit, it's never been this hard before so what gives?
III | Study Hall
[A valiant attempt was made at working through assigned schoolwork, one that has evidently made in vain given the apparent results. Amidst the clutter of an open textbook and a scattered pile of notes and various paperwork, Rin sleeps soundly. Dead to the world, half draped across the wood of the table as soft snores escape his unconscious form. His eyes are wide open yet unfocused, the unnerving sight curbed by the puddle of drool that has begun to form beneath his cheek.]
KITCHEN || hi noah's going to inflict psychic damage on rin
Noah hears a banging from inside the oven.
A normal person would be a little more startled by the fact that Rin's just, you know, head-in-oven... Noah almost thinks he's trying to hurt himself in there, actually. He approaches very, very quietly, looking over the countertop... please tell him he's not about to be witnessing a murder scene—
Oh no okay it's fine.]
...a...are... are you alright? Did you burn yourself?
[wHY DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE GODDAMNED OVEN IS ON, CHILD]
no subject
Had he burned himself??? On an oven that's off??]
N-no I didn't... Sorry, what? [There's a sort of incredulous look on his face now, a little bit dumbfounded at the implication that he would just be... Crawling into a hot oven? He's not that much of a moron.]
no subject
But also like, what if someone stuffed him into a hot oven to kill him... Okay no he seems to be fine. Baffled, even. Noah turns red and looks elsewhere. Anywhere but at Rin.]
S...sorry. I'm not used to having stuff like that — uh. What're you doing?
no subject
Uh... Cleaning? I was cleaning it because who knows when the last time it’s been scrubbed and uh... Is that okay? Or—
[He’s not sure why he’s suddenly asking for permission, but Noah’s whole appearance and commentary has made him probably just as confused as Noah himself, albeit for different reasons entirely.]
no subject
[Oh Elria it's so awkward in here. He's sorry, Rin, he has no idea what's going on.]
Uh... sorry. Where I come from, w-we don't... have ovens? I only just learnt to use it... a while ago. I had no idea you had to clean them. I thought stuff kind of just burned off like... a fire....
[Wait until Clamor finds out about this! Turns out you have to clean the fucking oven — oh wait that sponge looks fucking disgusting how dirty was that damn thing holy shit.]
no subject
Uh-- Yeah! So like...
If you don't clean them, the leftover grease and grime could start like... An actual fire. Which is bad because it could burn your house down or something. And ruin the oven. The uh... Little coil thingies? At the bottom? Those are what heat up the whole inside. There's no fire involved, it's sort of just...
[Fuck. This is where his expertise dies off.]
Electricity or something.
no subject
Oh. Well... I mean, if you need help cleaning, then... I can help you. Or I can clean the stovetop?
[Rin can get the inside of the oven, and Noah can get the outside, since—]
I use it sometimes, so I should take responsibility anyhow.
da roof....
and there's rin. huh. curiosity is better than the emotional cocktail that is grief however, so nene approaches, hands behind her back. )
What are you doing?
its not on fire, unfortunately
Whirling about to see who it is soon thereafter calms him down a bit, especially after noting that its a familiar face.]
N-Nene! Hey! Uh, how's it hangin'?
considering yogen's history, that may be for the best.
Um. D. Did I interrupt something I shouldn't have? I can go if I need to-
( she didn't think she was that scary... )
that's absolutely fair actually
I mean, uh-- No you didn't interrupt or anything, sorry! I just... Didn't hear you come up is all! I'm just uh...
[What the hell is a good explanation for staring at a bunch of candles for like an hour?] Meditating. [Sure.]
...Or trying to I guess. I sorta suck at it.
no subject
... You know. When I can see supernaturals. But... when I first arrived here, my vision was blocked. I couldn't see anything, no matter how hard I tried or where I looked. I still don't know why it was gone... It didn't come back for almost a month.
( little smile. )
Isn't that interesting?
no subject
She gets him with the slight subject change however, and its like a switch flips to turn him from nervous and avoidant to surprised and curious.]
Wait hold on, so like... Ghosts and demons and stuff? You can see them? [His first thought on that front is that she might be an exorcist, or at the very least she falls somewhere along the temptaint lines.]
no subject
... Hypothetically speaking, of course.
( just to give him an out. and it at least seems to let rin relax a little, which is nice. she doesn't need him to confirm anything for her- if what she's saying helps him any, then that's enough. )
There's a demon here, actually- but he's been really nice and helpful. And back home there's lots of spirits and ghosts at stuff, at my real school. I help them out!
NO ONE HAS TO KNOW BUT US
Magic bullets were a weird area that he didn't know much about. Other than that they hurt, at least. But if this is a common thing that happened, then... That's the best news he's heard all day.]
That's good. Ah-- yeah, hippo-thetically good. [Whoops. He gets the feeling that Nene isn't the type to easily pass judgement on people, but regardless he's still a bit... Cautious. The last time his heritage was revealed, things went sorta bad before they got better, after all.
The mention of another demon here, however, seems to visibly take him aback, and Rin takes a moment to process the information before he’s giving a soft hum in understanding that sounds just a little on the side of nervous. Another demon here could spell trouble, especially given how he was trying to hide himself currently. Would they know what Rin was just by meeting him?]
I’ve uh... I know a few demons. Not all of them are bad where I come from, so I think that’s pretty neat of you to do, honestly. Lots of people wouldn’t really bother with that kind of approach.
IT'S FINE WE'RE FINE
That makes sense! At home, supernaturals need to be remembered by humans to exist. So, they spread stories and act on them. But those stories only get spread because they're scary, so they have to act frightening, because if they go against their story they stop existing. It's a really rough spot to be in, especially if their story gets changed somehow. Soooo... that's where I come in! Sometimes it means just helping them with stuff, but Hanako-kun has me help neutralize supernaturals who've gone berserk or are going too far in their efforts.
( translation: i'm not a fighter. but i want to help. ... no she didn't put anything together this time, she just is super empathetic to his plight as dealing with powers not working and stuff honestly- )
But a couple people treat me like I'm... naive, for thinking that supernaturals can be good. So, maybe them and the good demons you know are in the same boat.
( as nene talks, she toys with one of the low pigtails her hair's tied in- it's easier than letting her hair fly free these days, makes her feel like she can keep it together if something goes wrong. ready for action, so to speak. )
:P

III | Study Hall get ready to learn mf
Of course, Rin was asleep.
What more had he expected?
Well, to be honest, he had not expected to see Rin here, to begin with, so this was at least a step in the right direction. God knows it took him pulling teeth and tail to get Rin to study, let alone to his work.
Yukio walked over to the table Rin currently called a bed and promptly, and rather loudly, dropping three hard cover books onto the table two inches away from Rin's face.]
no subject
SHIT! COAL TARS, THE ANSWER IS--
[There's a moment of pause as he's rubbing his knees, during which he registers who has joined him. The panic turns to annoyance, then rage, and soon he is shooting Yukio the death glare.]
Dude, what is wrong with you--
no subject
You were drooling all over the place.
[Duh.]
no subject
Dickhead.
[While Yukio's here, though, he can help Rin with his math. Which he promptly pushes towards his brother.]
What's all this bullshit mean?
no subject
Trigonometry? Do you know the identities yet?
no subject
The What?
no subject
Yukio sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose before reaching over to grab his pencil and tapping the end of it to the sheet between them.]
Trigonometric identities are equalities that involve trigonometric functions and are true for every value of the occurring variables for which both sides of the equality are defined. The ones you're using here are for tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant in terms of sine and cosine.
no subject
He continues to sit there in near absolute silence, eyes sliding down to look at the sheet. And then he keeps looking. For what feels like hours to him.]
...Cosigning? Like... Cars?
