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.

[Noah's mad about the clock, see, because he wants to fuck with it. Which is something he explains after a moment, shuffling around in his pocket to pull out an old clock, which he shows Yukio with a frown.]

See, I wanted to poke around the big clock because of this. This clock runs four seconds too slow... I'm sure you noticed that when it hits midnight here, the entire world goes silent. When I'm holding this, though, it goes silent about four seconds after midnight. I can't adjust the time or anything on it. [Like, it literally won't let him.] But... someone here — his name's Sidney — said maybe the big clock in here could be messed with?

...apparently not.

[His disappointment is immeasurable.]
emptyembers: (does a think)

Well… There has to be more than just what we’re seeing.

[He’s intrigued now. Noah’s peaked his interest in something other than opening something. To be fair, everything about this whole situation has him interested, if only to figure out what the hell is going on.

He woke up here, covered in mud with Rin equally covered in blood.

A part of him refused to believe that this place couldn’t be a coincidence.]
In theory There has to be a way to… mess with the clock.

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-09-24 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
There has to be. I'm just not sure how. ...Time magic was my brother's thing, not mine.

[And... Harque was assassinated for fucking with it, so.]

I-I mean, I'm not saying to rewind the clock or something that we'd need that, but... there's got to be some sort of magic on this little clock? So... maaaaybe? Do you know magic?

[There are a lot of people here who do, and a lot who don't. Noah's just trying to figure out what they're working with.]
emptyembers: (I see)

[personal profile] emptyembers 2021-09-25 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
[At this point nothing really should surprise him. He glances over at Noah, then turns turned to fully look at him.]

No... Not really. Most I can do are rituals and summoning, though I'm not proficient in them.

[He's definitely going on the assumption here that things work the same way. He's an Exorcist, after all, and what else could Noah possibly be referring to?]
silentabyss: (054)

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-09-25 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Noah... returns the glance for a half-second, realises he's making eye contact, and then looks away. Sorry, he's awkward.]

Rituals and summoning... ummm... What kind of rituals? ...What kind of summoning?

[By nature, he's a curious kid, and he knows such things are possible — it's just he really can't do them himself. Noah doesn't count his shadows as "summoning".]
emptyembers: (I see)

[personal profile] emptyembers 2021-09-28 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
I'm an Exorcist.

[Like that's going to explain anything to anyone.]

Most rituals are scripture based, to exorcise demons and such. As for the summoning, it's for familiars mostly.

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-09-28 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[The first part loses him a little bit. Fundamentally, Noah knows what that is, but he's just never really seen one done. Demons, though, he knows those. A bit.]

Oh. Scripture like written religious word? [dming lavvy right now to ask her if we have scripture on elrios or if the church is just word of mouth] I guess I didn't know you could fight demons with it. I prefer using a sickle myself.
emptyembers: (ok.png)

[personal profile] emptyembers 2021-09-30 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, actually. It's mostly a section of Exorcists who specialize in reciting them that do it. I just know it, but I prefer to fight them with guns.

[Which, speaking of, he feels naked without his guns.]
silentabyss: (004)

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-09-30 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Lavvy said we have scripture probably, I hate elsword lore it doesn't have anything I need when I need it]

Guns—

[Can Noah............ have one?]

We have guns where I come from, but I've never used one. I usually use my magic and a sickle. Are they hard to use?

[Elswordonline exist only to make things complicated for you]

It takes skill and practice to shoot one accurately and without hurting yourself. It’s not difficult to pick up, though.

[Yukio teaches Noah how to fire a gun thread for October?]
silentabyss: ((☆ω☆))

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-09-30 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[oh fuck yeah, let's give a child of the ebalon family a gun, nothing could possibly go awry]

Huh. I'll trade you, [punk ass bitch,] I can teach you some sleight of hand stuff and hand-to-hand combat, if you teach me how to use a gun.
emptyembers: (pic#14793944)

[personal profile] emptyembers 2021-09-30 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[The little smirk he gives Noah is a little smug, but also just plain out playful.]

I’m rather good at hand-to-hand, but I wouldn’t mind improving. As for the gun, we’d have to get our hands on one before I could teach you.
silentabyss: (051)

[personal profile] silentabyss 2021-09-30 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... we can call it a sparring match, then, and not a lesson.

[Noah actually does like sparring matches — they're fun. He and Childe do it all the time. Childe has... taught Noah some Things.]

But, if you do find a gun, let me know.

[child why are you so obsessed with glocks all of a sudden]
emptyembers: (pic#14793951)

[personal profile] emptyembers 2021-10-02 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
It would be nice to have a sparring match.

[Is this how you make friends?]

Deal.

[Yeah, this is definitely how you make friends.]
