October Event
10/02 06:12
✽ Silence lifts at six in the morning, and there is still quite a bit of time before classes start. Early risers who decide to return to school from the dorms cross the courtyard and open the double doors and—- something cold and wet drips down onto their head: old blood from the torso of a student(?) bound by rope and strung up above the doors to the courtyard, body burned black and cut in half at the waist.
The air is heavy, and the entire school smells of blood.
Hope... month...
✽ A large poster advertising the student store has been tacked up on the bulletin board. For October, store hours are now 6AM to 8PM Monday to Saturday, and noon to 4PM on Sundays. Outside of those hours, the shopkeeper is occasionally in the shop and will leave the door propped open if they are, but more often than not, the door is closed and there is no answer when knocking on the door. Laundry tokens can now be purchased at a reasonable price. The rock gacha machine is now located just outside the door so it can be played at any time. Please continue to spend your hard-eared points on plain boring normal rocks.
✽ In the dormitory, the construction paper covering the oil paintings start to soak through with blood, causing the papers to grow heavy and fall. The distorted faces in the paintings seem to be bleeding from their open wounds, the canvas wet to the touch and smelling of blood. Blood dripping down the walls and on the floor do not cause the dorms to change, nor do the splatters of blood seen on the glass over the star dormitory rooms occasionally throughout the month, as if it had rained blood in the darkness and silence of night, although no other evidence is seen elsewhere in the courtyard.
✽ The wisteria tree slowly continues to lose its petals, and the area roughly ten feet around the trunk of the tree has become completely dead and barren, leaving dry dirt underneath. Despite shedding its petals, new buds are becoming noticeable now too. The spider lilies that bloomed during the autumnal equinox remain, still covering the rest of the courtyard and extending into the forest surrounding the school. Outside, the air smells faintly metallic at all times.
✽ Occasionally throughout the month and increasing in frequency and intensity towards the end of the month, characters with 13 or more tallies will find themselves sensitive to sunlight and loud noises, prone to vertigo upon standing or turning too quickly, and suffering ice pick headaches throughout the day.
✽ Characters with 5 or less tallies will hear faint white noise during the normally silent hours of midnight to 6AM, but no other sound.
✽ The class roster on the bulletin board acknowledges class 1-D for leading the rest of the classes in rank, being the first to reach 100. All characters in first year classes and #-D classes will receive 500 merit points and will be able to exit out the front door to the school. They will be able to make it up to the front gate, but will find themselves growing lightheaded and about to pass out if they try to squeeze through the bars or climb over the gate itself. Please contact me privately if they would try to get out anyways.
✽ The void in the auditorium continues to grow, and (pending character interaction) by the end of the month will encompass the entire right wing of the first floor past the lockers, the home ec cooking room on the second floor, as well as the art club room on the third floor.

Exchange Program
✽ On October 11, students participating in the exchange program are given one pocket knife each and sent out the front doors, upon which they will find themselves in that canon location as if they had stepped out of any normal door in the area. For characters who visit their own canon's location, they will find all their friends and family alive and happy— except for the one person they are closest to, who will be absent. Nobody there will recognize your character or the person they are closest to, regarding both as complete strangers, as if neither have ever existed in the first place. But otherwise... think of it as canon good end, in contrast to elevator bad end.
✽ There is no bus to take them back to Yogen and they can stay as long as they'd like, even forever if they feel like it. If they wish to return to their real home, though, they would have to first return to Yogen and figure things out from there. The first time they open the pocket knife, they will find a piece of paper tucked between the blade and the handle reading "Use to return." If they use it on other people, that's the local law enforcement's business. In order to return to Yogen, perhaps remembering Natsume's presentation mentioning how they got there in the first place, they will have to use the knife on themselves, or otherwise die by happenstance or, eventually, old age. Two weeks after their return to school, they will find one additional tally on the inside of their wrist.
✽ In return, Yogen receives three exchange students: two familiar and one not.

OOC
✽ The first prompt leads into this month's mini-event, which is becoming a misnomer, maybe they should be called murder events instead.
✽ All students leaving on the exchange program will icly be gone for at least 10/11 - 10/17, although they will be able to return at any later date in October, at the player's discretion, regardless of how much time they experienced on their trip. Just like in the bad end elevator and the void school, nothing physical can be taken back from the exchange trip, but characters can at least drain their bank accounts eating good food and exploring town before coming back.
✽ The new exchange students are former npcs Kouji Seki and Chiaki Kudo, as well as a new student ???. They can be interacted with in their corresponding toplevels below, after 10/11.

I'm interested in seeing what's beyond the mountain crest that surrounds the school. You can't help me with that, can you?
no subject
You can't go that far either, hm... we're in the same boat, then.
( wait, how far can he get, well... )
...I have one idea, but I'm not sure if it'll work...
no subject
[ He gets leverage because Komaeda wants this more than he wants freedom ]
no subject
( ... this might make no sense to him, but komaeda takes a step forward as he crosses his arms in thought. )
...I'm unsure what's out there, but it can protect itself... it's killed enough to know how... hm...
( ...hm. )
no subject
[ What he's getting is that Komaeda is offering him a piece of Junk and then he stopped listening. ]
Try it out first, then come to me if it works.
no subject
( of course, that means finding a mirror to breath, and he'll want him to do the honors. )
I want to kill two birds with one stone, and they aren't here in the void... break glass for us ... hm...
( hm. ) Tsubou-kun.
no subject
no subject
( he's following. )
You want to know, don't you?
no subject
[ Do NOT follow. They're going to take another tour of the school. ]
no subject
( what is tsubou-kun talking about. )
You asked something of me, and I can make it happen... I don't understand.
no subject
[ Where'd the confidence come from now? Don't lie to him. ]
And my name isn't "Tsubou."
no subject
( stop, he'll follow his new tsubou-kun so they can learn together, but they can't do it in the void! )
Then what is it?
no subject
There's no "we" in that sort of trial. You can do it yourself.
no subject
( because he won't say it which makes conversation sort of hard to call out to him. )
There is, all you have to do is stand by and look... basic, that's all.
( ... )
no subject
ignoring that question, ]
There's no point in me being there and wasting my time.
no subject
( is he surrounded by cowards? what a shame, even komaeda shakes his head. )
You're incapable of being straightforward yourself, but people with secrets to hide tend to do that.
no subject
[ Everybody has secrets, but it doesn't mean he has to divulge any of them. Besides, he believes he's as straightforward as it gets. ]
no subject
( he's going to grab him by his arm, and literally yank him towards a bathroom because he's no good, and takes too long as a senpai to tour komaeda.
BEFORE he even tries it, komaeda grabbed with his mechanical hand so this is fine. )
no subject
Let go. We'll both exit the same way eventually. Don't touch me.
no subject
...
...
...
he'll let go. )
I didn't give you permission to touch me.
( there's this blank expression on his face, his eyes looking through him... and then komaeda blinks, looking towards the bathroom as a smile resurfaces. )
Okay! Let's go! Hm... hm... hm... ~
no subject
How has nobody killed you yet?
no subject
( he's not too happy to say it, especially how he's frowning again — personality shifts from one thing, to another, to something else, and hopefully it'll come back to what it was. )
But that doesn't matter, you can try to kill me if you want... but you'd die trying, and be another tally to the rest I have. ( he'll smile now, walking towards the other since he isn't moving. ) Don't do anything idiotic, Tsubou-kun.
( he'll lightly tap the arm he twisted, reminding him if there's any intense pain there, and it must be uncomfortable to stay in a world like this with an injury like that, but luckily! )
It'll fix right up once we leave. Let's go?
no subject
He's no fan of suffering, though, so he narrows his eyes at Komaeda and starts off first, arm held close to his side so Komaeda doesn't try to grab it again.
... ]
I'll tell you my name if you let me punch you in the face. It'll fix right up once we leave.
no subject
he does have one arm to use, and komaeda looks at the other, and then up to the person's face. tsubou-kun... will give his name to abuse someone else?
...he even mimicked the words that he said. )
Tell me, and you can have at me, I won't even move.
no subject
I don't trust you, so I'm going to punch you first. Grit your teeth.
