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.

( but his face is still bloody, so he's going to lift his shirt to wipe it away, they don't want anymore blood on the floor despite the stain is still there. )
I'll teach you something, come with me, come.
( he's going to walk out the home ec room waiting for her to follow. )
no subject
okay. but if he isn't making a beeline for the bathroom, Chiaki's grabbing his elbow and forcing them to make this pitstop, because blood getting everywhere is gross ]
no subject
he'll turn on the disgusting pink water, and he'll reach out with his hands to smack it onto his face.
he looks in her direction and points... is she going to clean herself too? )
no subject
Ew... No way. You're supposed to let the tap run for a couple of seconds until the gunk clears out and it's clear again.
no subject
( looks at her, cups it in his hands, and he's like walking over towards chiaki as if this'll help get her over her fear of pink water. )
You used to love this stuff.
no subject
no subject
alright, she got that one, because it's going in his face, and now he's going to look like some wet dog... borzoi... )
If you have that much hand strength, you can apply that to breaking the glass...
( spits some water out his mouth and onto the floor... )
no subject
Chiaki hops back when Komaeda spits, and then she looks up at stares at him like she expects him to grab a paper towel to wipe that up. ]
Breaking things isn't about strength. The most important part is to do it without hesitation, and to follow through.
no subject
( that's what he's trying to explain here, he doesn't much care for strength, or maybe she has a point, but he isn't listen. so he'll walk over to the mirror, looking into it, and then staring at her with it. )
Keep one on you at all times, you'll never know when it'll become useful... Count it as a small blessing, or don't! Whatever happens to you depends on your hope, you should think before you leap... but ah, you hardly ever get the chance!
( he laughs, oh, how horrible, but he shrugs, pointing at the mirror. ) Want one?
no subject
It's a school. I'm not going to get lost.
[ But she's going to shoo Komaeda out of the way so he doesn't mess her up. The mirror hangs above the sink so it's in an awkward position to punch, but she's an awesome dancer and that mirror doesn't stand a chance against her roundhouse kick. ]
no subject
it's her comment though that makes komaeda stare for a moment, empty eyes as always, but he nods. )
You won't, just mind the stairs.
( that's how it normally goes as he allows himself to be shooed, and he stands off to the side, it's fine if she breaks the mirror, and if some manages to hit him... then fine, he'll accept it. but he has a feeling he won't be that lucky. )
no subject
no subject
Amazing!
( he'll clap his hands together as he looks towards chiaki, and then as he points at the shattered glass that has exploded onto the floor. )
Stockpile them, you'll want to keep one on you, and save some for later...
( he kneels down, looking down at his leg to see another piece wedged in, but he doesn't think about removing it, and instead he'll pick up the pieces on the floor. )
no subject
Chiaki lets him pick up the pieces for her while she works the paper towel dispenser so she has ten feet of paper towel to wrap the glass in. ]
You can keep those ones.
[ pointing to the one that was in his arm, and the one in his leg ]
no subject
( what's the point when he's trying to die anyway? he doesn't want safety. )
All you have to do is wipe them off, and you can take them... leave them in your locker, or hand them to a friend.
( he doesn't take the one out of his leg though... brings old despairing memories... )
no subject
Hmm... Okay! I know just who to give these to!
[ They're not friends but they're a Person of Interest after Natsume told her about them. Aka Rokkun's going to walk into homeroom tomorrow morning to find glass shards scattered on top of his desk and on his seat and think he's being bullied. ]
no subject
( oh, that's so insane, you know what... can you bully a bully, at least he'll guess someone finds him to be a threat even if he doesn't do anything but distance himself. )
Here.
( he's going to hand her the ones that he has picked up, and she can put them in the paper towels she's accumulated. )
