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
It'd be hard even if you did. Not just 'cause we're idols, [since it doesn't matter much here, nameless and free in some sense but aimless just the same,] but 'cause this school's not really normal.
[where people can die, have died, by others' hands. where things are so strange in so many different ways. where they have memories of places far from here, but vague ones sitting right beside them in the same space they're sitting now...
subaru'll lay his head back on the desk, watching natsume shuffle his cards]
I wish I could like someone... [ignore his crush on shopkeepkun] It sounds like fun...
no subject
You like everyone you MEET. It isn't that FUN, and you know IT.
no subject
[...]
Anyway, it's fun having friends, and Mom and Dad always had fun together too, so is it so bad to think about it sometimes?
no subject
Not realLY. I admit, I've been taking advantage of the fact there's plenty of girls HERE... Not in a bad WAY, but it's an opportunity I don't feel like squandeRING. ( girls his own age, that aren't just customers... it's nice. ) Pick a CARD, Baru-kun. I'll be serious and give you a reading on your love LIFE.
no subject
[... but he'll take a card, because he likes natsume's readings and would never miss a chance for one]
no subject
natsume stares at it, then props his chin in his hand and looks at subaru. )
So your latest fancy is the little shopkeeper, is IT?

The nine of diamonds' most common reading is that of independence, self-reliance, and increasing one's WEALTH. Nagito-kun stopped by earLIER, and we talked a bit about the little shopkeePER... He mentioned they were interested in moNEY. ( ... ) And I've seen you hanging around their shop like a little lovesick puppy DOG.
( so yes it was 100% his spying but also? the cards are on point today. )
no subject
I knew it! I knew you were spying on me! Jeez~, cut it out, it feels like I've got something crawling under my skin...
[please stop perceiving him like that he's getting it from komaeda in another thread but he's poisoned in it... he'll slouch back onto the desk, puffed cheek in his hand as he turns his face from natsume, the tips of pink ears showing past his fingers.
...]
... So, like... does it mention anything else?
no subject
Diamonds are a suit occupied with life's practicalities—material aspects, wealth, and so FORTH... Things you can TOUCH. In love, it refers specifically to a more practical view of relationships—you could call it a realistic apPROACH. Nines are a wonderful number for this suit—they hold the symbolism of "GROWTH".
In a reading like YOURS, specifically for your love LIFE... I think it means good things for your relationship with THEM. ( ... ) But they are interested in getting as much money as they CAN, as fast as they CAN, Baru-kun. Please be careful of who you entrust your heart TO.
no subject
[it was one of the first things they told him. really told him, and it explained why everything was so high dollar -- not out of sentimentality, or to keep people from buying what they didn't need, but because there's something at the end of the school year they need to buy.
... subaru wishes he knew what it was. he wants to help, whatever it is, simply because they're friends.]
I'll keep it in mind, Natsume... but I don't mind if they use what I've got to make their dream come true. If I'm tossed away after then I'll be super sad, but I'm gonna do everything I can to help them with their situation, 'cause they didn't seem very happy when they told me about it.
[and subaru, who loves smiles so much...]
no subject
...You and Nagito-kun ( natsume says softly, silk hiding steel ) truly irritate me with the way you THINK. Your selflessness is one of your worst TRAITS.
≪You aren't a lost star searching desperately for a constellation to fit in anymore, Subaru Akehoshi-kun. Stop acting like it.≫
no subject
I know! I've got plenty of friends these days, even here! I can thank you for that, too. You were the one who opened the door for me.
[it's a little sappy, but it's not out of realm. natsume's meanness belies his worry, his care, and subaru knows that. he's happy for it. he's thankful.]
I'll be careful, promise. You won't find me drifting off on my own like that ever again.
no subject
( which is a lie and they both know it, but anyway. )
You either owe me money or a ruMOR. Pay UP.
no subject
no subject
As long as it's a decent LUNCH.
no subject
[like, very much the definition of "decent" i'm sorry he needs to have money for other things too]
