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.

( "they guess they could get something else" no! it's too late, amami's already accepting the keychain that's being held out to him, holding it up in the light so he can see all the little eyes shine. it's his now, and he's not giving it back. )

Nah, I never said I didn't like 'em — they're pretty interesting, don't you think?

( besides, he bought the others himself; if he's getting rid of any single one, it's gonna be one of those, not this one. )

From a field of eyes though, definitely not what I expected. I'll have to ask them about that some time.
radnarok: (5)

[personal profile] radnarok 2021-09-14 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh...well he's taking it. Can't stop him now. That's the only free thing Amami is going to get though, Crona takes their job very seriously. ]

They make a nice sound when you shake them. I like playing with them when I don't have to stand out here. So buy a bunch.

[ Somehow they managed to perfectly mimic the way npc-kun says that. ]

Yeah, I've never seen eyes made of plastic growing somewhere before. That sounds hard to deal with. [But not absurd, because Soul Eater is just that insane. ] But...I'm supposed to be helping you with your list?
sisters: (pic♯15031708)

[personal profile] sisters 2021-09-14 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
( the only free thing from crona, at least. but it's fine — he respects the work they're putting in.

oh, the impression does get him though, bringing his hand up to his mouth to try and stifle his laugh a bit. )


Yeah, I'll buy a bunch, don't worry. Forget about the list, maybe I should be stocking up on these.

( he gives a little shake-shake, and slips the keychain in his back pocket for later. he'll find... something to pin it to. or, well... )

You made sure to get one for yourself too, didn't you?
radnarok: (sweet child)

[personal profile] radnarok 2021-09-14 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ If they gave free stuff out to everyone they liked, Boss would get mad! They'll stick to giving Amami things they actually made themselves.


They shake their head furatively.
]

No. To tell the truth...I'm not really sure how keychains work. I just asked what a good gift was and got a bunch for everyone.

[ They tilt their head as Amami puts it away. ]

I know you put them on things...but I don't have anything but a bed right now. [ Which is pretty good! They're happy to have a dorm room now! ]
sisters: (pic♯15031612)

[personal profile] sisters 2021-09-14 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
( hmm... amami gives a thoughtful him, lifting a hand to his chin as he considers it. a bed, but... there have to be other things too — their pda, their... oh. right, of course. )

You're staying in the dorms, aren't you? What about the key to your room?

( they have a bed after all. and if he's remembering correctly, their room isn't too far from his own. )

It's a keychain after all, so you can use one to keep track of your key.
radnarok: (8)

[personal profile] radnarok 2021-09-16 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
The keychain...right the doors open both ways here. I can leave the door unlocked if I want.

[ So they do have a place to put a keychain, what a funny thought. Maybe they could put a something on it. Amami is smart, for realizing that. Crona hadn't even remembered they had a key. ]

I'm not good at remembering stuff, so maybe a keychain would help me. But, I won't leave the door locked. You can come by anytime. You just can't kill anyone, okay?
sisters: (pic♯15142530)

[personal profile] sisters 2021-09-18 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
I don't plan on it, so don't worry. Oh, but I can come visit if you're alright with that.

( murder is not at the top of his to-do list. it's not on it at all, to be honest. visiting crona can be if they're up for that. )

Anyway, they're pretty colourful, so even if you lose track of it, one of them should help you find it again. Here.

( let him reach in his other, front pocket and pull out his pda. which has another charm on it that looks exactly the same, but it's different and special because it will be from him. he's unclipping it from the spot he's got it attached to now. )
radnarok: (smile smile)

[personal profile] radnarok 2021-09-18 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'd like it if you visited. We could have a sleepover.

[ It could be nice and soft...

Their eyes widen as Amami unclips a keychain from his pda, and they wave their hands in flustered fear.
]

H-here!? Wait, um...Is it even okay for me to take this? I don't...um...

[But they gave Amami a gift...so hes being fair right. They need to be brave, and accept something...even if it feels so nice they might die. So...they extend a small hand. ]

I won't lose it... if you're giving me something this nice. Never ever. Um...sorry I don't even know what to say.
sisters: (pic♯15031799)

[personal profile] sisters 2021-09-18 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I promise to keep mine safe, too. A present like this means a lot, y'know.

( his expression is a little soft, and it looks like he really does mean what he says.

in any case, he'll set the keychain in their waiting hand, lifting his eyes to meet theirs with a smile. )


And a sleepover sounds good. Let me know when, and I'll see if I can stop by.
radnarok: (THIS IS NICE)

[personal profile] radnarok 2021-09-21 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Ok...because if you loose it... Well I guess I can just get you another one, but I'll still be sad.

[ It means a lot! Just hearing that makes them happy. ]

Mhm. Mhm. We can put all our pillows on the floor..and...What else do you do at a sleepover? Make food? Me and Stephanie can do something.
sisters: (pic♯14899095)

[personal profile] sisters 2021-09-21 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
( amami looks happy to hear that. not only because he's 100% certain he's not gonna lose it, but also 'cause it's just nice to see them smile.

oh, but sleepovers... he's seen a bunch of those. )


There's plenty of things. You can eat snacks, tell stories about things you've done, give each other makeovers, play games, or anything else you want to do. If we do one, I'll make sure I set us up — just tell me what you decide on.
radnarok: (30)

[personal profile] radnarok 2021-09-21 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...right you have lots of stories, don't you? Aren't you a traveler who went lots and lots of places?

[ They wanna hear about it! ]

I've never done most of that...but stories sound best! Maybe I can put some of it in a poem.
sisters: (pic♯15031803)

[personal profile] sisters 2021-09-23 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Traveler, huh? I dunno about that one, but I guess I have seen a few places, so I should have some stories I can tell you guys.

( "traveler" sounds a bit too romantic for a guy like him, he just kinda... goes. )

You write a lot of poetry?
radnarok: (13)

[personal profile] radnarok 2021-09-23 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Mhm? No, no I know this. Komeada gives me quizzes, and he said you went lots of places. People who travel get to be called travelers right? Or explorers... Not sure.

[ They don't have the full context, so maybe their imagination got ahead of them. ]

It's a hobby. Maka taught me how to write them when I feel sad. I think she was right...when I see how I feel written down, I do feel better.
sisters: (pic♯15031708)

[personal profile] sisters 2021-09-23 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, I can't say I'm not fond of the idea of being called an explorer, but it's not quite that either.

( literally just a guy. a dude. he's vibing out here. still, crona can choose what they like; not like amami will ever be able to prove them wrong. )

That sounds like a good idea though. When you're sad, and writing about things that make you happy too, so that you can remember them. ( he smiles. ) I keep something like that too. I'm not really a poetry kinda guy, but it's nice to write things out somehow.
radnarok: (22)

[personal profile] radnarok 2021-09-25 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
...Then what is it? [ Now they're really lost. ] Is there a word I don't know, Amami?

[ He's a Cool Dude, tho. ]

Oh, thats a good idea? [ A lot of good things have been happening recently...they don't want to forget. [ Um, but I would need to think up rhymes for everyone then! I look up words in the library sometimes, so I'm getting better at them! Nene would be easy...I guess your name is too, because you both have vowels at the end. I don't know what I'm going to do about Jekyll.

I guess Kill, but this is a happy poem. Um... [ They're thinking so hard. ] Help?
sisters: (pic♯15031807)

[personal profile] sisters 2021-09-26 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
A word? I mean, if you ask me, I'm just a guy who travels, not anything special.

( he doesn't know that komaeda's been out here hyping up the talent he might maybe have, so it's not the first conclusion he jumps to, anyway. )

But yeah, why don't we find a better one, like "will" or "hill." If you can find one word to rhyme with it and you get stuck, try thinking of words that rhyme with that word. Maybe it'll help.
