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.

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.
no subject
...
( he's ready. )

...
...
that's probably the same mood, especially as he coughs, and then there's a bit of laugher, and it gets louder... until he sniffles, flinches from the pain in his nose, and removes his hand to look at the blood that's coming from it. )
Ahahaha!! Y-You really punched me...
( he's going to place his hands on the ground, allowing the other to see his hard work, and red drips onto the front of his attire... )
no subject
Seiya Kaneko. We'd better get going.
[ Because Komaeda's so close to death all the time, all it takes is a little bit of blood on the ground for the shadow students to go !! and come for them. ]
no subject
...Seiya Kaneko-kun?
( shaking, neko-kun... neko-kun, and he'll take in his features one more time before nodding. )
It's a pleasure to — ah... meet you! I hope you can take care of me, Neko-senpai... ~
( he did that to mess with him, i promise, he'll grab the other by his sleeve, pulling him along so they can turn one corner. as running from void people actually sounds exciting, it'd do no good if the other only ran around with one missed dup arm... though, that'd be an impressive display of what hope he could make. )
no subject
I'm not going to take care of you. God, you're a mess.
[ Sleeve is better than arm, though, and he breaks the mirror by driving his elbow through it instead of his hand. ]
no subject
Aaaah... That was fun...
( he exhales, bringing a hand to his nose to touch it softly — it's always a fun time in the void, getting punched, and he glances towards kaneko, smiling at him afterwards. )
You're a pretty rough senpai... ( breathes through nose, and he takes a step back so that he doesn't step in the blood on the floor. )
no subject
also Komaeda rediscovering the joy in breathing through his nose has the same energy as Clamor being delighted about having hands again ]
That's your fault. Most people learn their lesson after the first time.
[ He wouldn't say it's fun. His arm might not be sprained but he can still feel it, linking his fingers together and stretching his arms up up up, leaning down and doing the same for his back. ]
no subject
You're very abusive, but I've been through worse...
( he likes to hit, take out his anger, he must have a lot of pent up frustrations, but komaeda overlooks it as he twitches his nose a bit like a rabbit, or well tries. he really is focused on his nose right now, and then once he's over his breathing through nose excitement, he'll focus on him instead. )
Kaneko-kun... how long have you attended this school? I've never seen you before, unless my eyesight is getting worse...
( this is making me cry, because komaeda's listening for his back to pop, and is slightly unimpressed if it doesn't. he'll walk over to the bed, sit down on it, and place his hands on his lap very polite. )
no subject
On and off. You've probably seen me before but have just forgotten. More likely you just never noticed me.
[ generic npc face and all ]
no subject
Must have, isn't that unfortunate, to be forgotten by people... unless you hate having eyes on you, too.
( generic, yeah... it's fine, even as he tries to go through his memory to think if he's ever seen him. hm... )
Then shouldn't you know what's beyond the trees if you're on and off... unless that's code for "I die a lot, go to the tree, and then come back".
