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
( he laughs, eyes sparkling as he talks about them with excitement in audible in his voice — a hand raises, placed over his heart, smitten with the idea. it's obvious that there's something between them and him, but rather than answering what makes him connected, he's too busy explaining their worth, how wanted, and how loved they are. )
Have you seen an Ultimate utilize their skills that's been with them since their existence? Ah, I wish you could have seen the Ultimate Detective, how his immersion into the troubles of the school managed to out the killers of both cases, a skill that only he could handle so effortlessly while others struggle.
( he sighs wistfully, heart skipping a beat as he thinks about them... )
They're special people, each and every one...
no subject
Josh is finding all of this very interesting, and he leans in a little bit more to listen and comprehend a bit better.]
I haven't seen it yet. I'd very much like to see it, if it stirs up so much passion in you.
[the way that Komaeda is talking about these people, it's almost like he thinks they're gods...or maybe that was the point.]
You'll have to come get me when I can observe this for myself one day.
no subject
( that said, one isn't stronger than the other — well, that's how he makes them sound when he talks about talents in general. as long as they're together, their hopes are brighter than the sun, but separate... it varies. )
Aside from the Ultimates, there are people who have no hope at all... embarrassing, lack thereof anything that makes them exceptional. It's easy to see the divide.
no subject
[only Komaeda would know the answer to that question, he figures. he's still new to Komaeda's view of hope, so...]
I'm sure it is, when you've gotten used to viewing people through that lens long enough. It's so sad, because there are those that have hidden potential, but they just choose to do nothing with it.
no subject
( being asked who to choose causes his lips to purse into a straight line when he loves them all equally, and now he has to think about who to allow joshua to watch. he hums in thought, looking off to the side — )
Saihara-kun, his views are different from what I've seen. He seems so weak... yet his hope is overwhelming, he's always surprised me.
( though maybe that's sort of rude to say, he clears his throat. ) Amami-kun would be more engaging, even though he doesn't know what his talent actually is... those types have never disappointed me.
( josh is right, however. ) All we can do is help them in showing their potential, and sometimes it takes a few dead bodies.
no subject
[people who are born talented are boring at times -- he's always able to gauge their moves, to tell what their line of processes are. people who have the odds stacked against them from the start, however...
they're much more interesting.]
I'll keep my eye out for them, then. I'm sure I've seen them on the message boards, but haven't engaged with them myself. But if you think so highly of them, I have to get to know them.
no subject
Tell me what you think when you meet them, Saihara-kun will never let you down... He has so much to offer, I think you'll find him interesting... he never thinks obviously, but manages to find a third option.
( he sighs wistfully speaking about him, a small flush on his face, yeah... has to be obvious how much he looks up to that one, but he continues. )
There are others I think you'd like, but their desires are slightly different from ours, and they aren't Ultimates so... perhaps there'll be low interest.
