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.

18th
...
...
... 8/10. anyway, subaru'll drop by his desk during lunch with a wide grin, hello. he has a bento that is not meant for either of them but don't even worry about it.]
You're a new face~. Made any friends, or can I be your first? ☆
no subject
Huh? ...Akehoshi, right? I'm still trying to learn everybody's names.
[ Which comes surprisingly easy to him, and he can't imagine why. It's as if he knew every single person's name in this entire school once upon a time, and is more being reminded than it is learning. ]
no subject
Yup, that's me. You're... [... attendance, attendance...] Kou-chan.
[perfect.]
Is that really all you're gonna eat?
[maybe he will rectify it.]
no subject
I haven't been called that since I was a kid. It's Kouji, though. [ a gentle reminder, like Subaru just didn't remember his whole name
He looks down at the bread and it's fine? It's fine. Kind of embarrassing to admit it's all he can afford; he did the math for how many merit points he'd reasonably get a week and how much he'll have to ration to survive for an indeterminate amount of time. ]
It's kind of hard to work up an appetite stuck in school all day, but it'll be enough to hold me over until later.
no subject
he doesn't know subaru is set on kou-chan. anyway, he'll hum thoughtfully--]
Nope! We're classmates, so we'll take care of each other~. Let me treat you to a little more than that, Kou-chan, I've got a ton of points!
[because...... he is popular ☆ as kouji will learn if he takes up subaru's offer]
no subject
Okay, but I'm paying you back somehow. Don't let me forget.
no subject
[down we go...! to his locker first, it might've been dug into since the shopkeep knows his numbers but he'll start off strong with some foods he got from his fans,
stopping by said shopkeep to drop off the bento meant for neither he or kouji, sorry he cannot stay he's treating a new friend,
and then over to the vending machine... thank goodness this before he gives his pda away. mind not the interested juniors who are watching them.]
So what're you feeling, Kou-chan? I'll buy whatever, so don't be shy~.
no subject
What does he want... God it's so weird having people gather around and following them like moths to a light, how does Subaru stand it.
what even is sold in vending machines... google is telling me burgers and who would pass up a chance for burgers— also red bean soup and whatever soft drink there might be ]
no subject
can confirm that some vending machines have burgers in them, along with canned soups and other meals... subaru will buy it all and also a coke because i'm enforcing coke existing in yogen. it's also the only thing i can think of bc i had it today. look at subaru spending points so frivolously, without batting an eye to it or the people watching them, he's gonna get himself (checks google) fuck it matching burgers and soda. they're teenage boys this is staple.
anyway.
subaru'll lead him back to their classroom, through the grown crowd, chatting easily with them like second nature... carefully wording his refusals of their company... can't wait for valentine's day.]
no subject
...How can you stand people watching your every move? That was so creepy.
no subject
[e z bree z]
Before I transferred here, I was a pretty big name idol... and the looks I get here are kind and loving, so I don't mind. ♪ [...
if they soured, if they became hateful and angry... subaru wouldn't be able to stand it. but they're not, so he's not on guard. at least their fellow third years aren't too hot on subaru, it really is mostly their younger years.] It must be weird to you though, huh? Even though you're definitely good looking enough to have some fans of your own. ♪
no subject
[ It's a very quick refusal, though he does look somewhat embarrassed at the notion. ]
Apparently I got stabbed before? Do you think maybe one of your fans did it because they saw us eating lunch together?
[ He feels like that's something a fan would do. They can get kind of intense. ]
no subject
I'd like to think my fans wouldn't, but I dunno. You wanna eat in the janitor's closet?
[to be safe...]
no subject
Subaru, please, ]
no subject
[...
...
no, kouji would definitely be knifed if someone saw them going into the janitor's closet together, thinking about it.]
You shouldn't knock it 'til you try it, but I don't wanna move again anyway.
[he definitely would be knifed...........................]
no subject
[ That's somehow worse than eating lunch alone in a toilet stall. ]
Well, anyways. Thanks for the food. You'd think we shouldn't need to eat or sleep anymore, huh?
no subject
[
like it is really weird but you're asking the wrong person to care]
