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.
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
Yeah, well... What do they know anyway. [It's said with a small huff of dismissal, and it hits him then that he likes this girl quite a bit for someone who's only had a conversation roughly two times that count. She's nice and easy to talk to, and while he wouldn't lump her immediately into the best friends category he would probably take a punch or two to the face for her in a fight. Which basically means she's pretty cool in his book.] The people who look down on you for that kind of thing, I mean. I think that just makes you a nice person.
If I was afraid of fading away I'd probably lash out too. So it makes sense. There was um... I guess you could call him a cat demon? He's sort of my familiar now, so we're like best buddies. But there was a whole group of exorcists who wanted to try to kill him because he was angry and tearing up cars and buildings. Thing was, he was only upset because someone he really cared about had died, and he didn't get to say goodbye.
no subject
Minamoto-senpai tends to be really hard on the supernaturals, since he's the heir to his family. They're the local exorcists- his little brother, Kou-kun, is more open to talk since he knows Hanako-kun and I are trying to keep things peaceful. ... I try my best though.
no subject
Yeah, uh... My little bro, Yukio? He's sort of the same way. Tougher and less willing to give demons and stuff second chances, I mean. I think it's because we're-- [There's a brief second where it's very apparent that he caught himself before revealing something he probably wasn't supposed to, and he stiffens a bit before continuing.] Uh-- we've seen a lot of shit. He's like, the overly careful type, so I guess it tracks for him. But I'd rather be wrong about someone than kill them when it's not justified, y'know?
no subject
That's my thoughts on the matter... I don't want to write anyone off as having to be resolved with violence without giving them a chance first.
( even if some people here in yogen really test that. )
