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.

[Only a little bit of breaking, or more preferably a soft bending, as a treat! Ishimaru is essentially set on promoting order - and safety. Those are the highest priorities! He frowns and nods as the man brings up the fire.]

Y-yes, that is the incident that I was thinking of... [He'll just leave that there, because it's time to shift the topic! Better not to get caught up in morbid topics of the past. Not when they can celebrate being heard within this hall! He answers with just a small smile.]

I have been doing fairly well. Thank you for asking! Now that school is back in session, it is nice to be able to attend class again. On top of that, having the dorms and its comforts have been great as well. It feels as if... part of the burden has been lifted, and- and I am glad to accept that much. [Considering how bad things could get in this school... Any good thing can feel like a godsend.] How about yourself?

Better, now that there's an actual bed to sleep in. Recovery's immediately improved... but I get stir crazy, resting in the dorms. The nurse has been kind enough to assist when she can, however. ( and then, so that ishimaru doesn't get too worried- ) I've been permitted to take time from classes to heal as needed.

( not that... he goes often already. he's a grown man and a high school teacher himself, after all. )

But I'm glad to hear. I know more than a few of us have been worried for you. Should you need anything, we are here for you.

That is very good to hear. [He nods, his smile growing a little.] I know that I cannot put into words how much I missed the comfort of an actual bed! I am glad that it and the school nurse have been helpful for your recovery. While it can be sad to miss class, it will be for the best if it helps you with your recovery.

[Ishimaru, he's a grown-ass man!

He shrinks back a bit at the concern for me.]


Is- is that so? I am touched by the offer, truly! But it is alright. I do not need... I do not want to worry others. I am carrying on and moving along. Slowly but surely, things are starting to change for the better!

( sidney chuckles quietly, resting his chin in his hand with the faintest hint of a smile. )

It can be, yes. I never did like leaving my students back home without something to do in my absences either.

( ... how did their presence here effect things back home? ... a troubling line of thought, and not one he wants to really think about. )

It's an adult's job to worry about the teenagers around them, and be there for them when they're still learning about the world and responsibility for others.

[Him being a teacher only multiplies the respect points he gets from Ishimaru.]

I see. Well if you have such a diligent mindset, I am sure that you will be up to speed in no time!

[On stuff he probably already knows. Still, Ishimaru looks optimistic about the idea and gives an encouraging smile.]

I cannot deny that. Those are the intended roles of adults and teenagers! Or at least, that is the way it is supposed to be. It is strange. I feel as if I have not had adult figures around for long enough that, admittedly... I feel as if I have gotten more used to relying on myself rather than them. [After a pause, he continues nervously-] Of- of course, I still bear utmost respect for you and your wisdom!
