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.

wildcard: heyyyy roomie
Hello?
no subject
Uh, hi.
[Good job, a Very good way to break the tension.]
I'm... new.
threadjacking for one comment and then leaving i have to
Hi, new. I'm Noah.
[He's caught Clamor's sense of humour.
Noah goes back into the tent. Goodnight, Jason.]
WOLFIE....
I... yeah, that makes sense. I don't think I've seen you around the dorms before.
( after a moment, she slips out entirely and the curtains of the bunkbed- also clearly self-made and hung on a plastic pipe with some rubber on either ends- remain half open, just for ease of access. )
I'm Nene Yashiro. That was Noah, he's my friend. We weren't... really expecting anyone.
dad jokes... in my wholesome thread?
Jason narrowed his eyes a little in confusion, then quickly shook his head and turned his attention back to Nene. One small child was something he hadn't been expecting, but a surprise extra child with the same humor as Dick was a treat.]
Name's Jason. I can come back later, this is supposedly my dorm though.
no subject
anyways. nene frowns, glancing at the untouched beds. )
They really didn't even wait a week, huh. ... Sorry, there was... this room used to be full. But everyone either... died, or vanished, at the start of the month. ... You don't have to leave, we were just reading.
( since people are making assumptions. )
no subject
Well, this was awkward
He rubbed the back of his head for a moment before he was making his way to one of the empty beds, then pauses.]
There a certain one you don't want me on?
[He's a jerk, but like he's not an asshole.
Yet.]
no subject
no subject
No, he definitely would not fit.]
I've been able to fit in smaller places before.
[You weren't 225 lbs of beef then, but let's not get into that.]
no subject
( once it starts... raining blood at night, apparently, nene will offer to make an overcloth too. but for now, it's just a semblance of privacy, really. )
Just so you know, there's this weird thing that happens sometimes- when the sun's directly overhead in these rooms... it. Feels like you're being watched. But I haven't been able to find anything about that.
no subject
[Let be real, he's too big for normal things.]
But thanks, I appreciate it. Red is sort of my color.
[Is it, Jason? Is it really?
He frowns a little at the information before turning to look at her fully.]
Alright... I'll keep that in mind.
no subject
Okay. I can do that.
( she's not sure what else to do or say though, so... she just sort of sits back down on the bottom bunk, curtains pushed apart. it's not the easiest time for anyone, at the moment, and it's that empty period between school letting out and dinner. and with recent events...
well. no one could fault her for being a bit down. )
... When did you arrive, exactly?
no subject
Uh... Not too long ago. It's been a bit of a haze, honestly. Woke up by the science lab.
no subject
( 'it's why i'm so upset', but that goes unspoken. 'monstrous', 'heartbreaking', 'driving people to the brink of despair' also does. it's not a good situation to live through, and not a good one to come into lucidity in the wake of, either. )
no subject
I'm sorry.
[A joke about being hard to kill was on the tip of his tongue, but he bit down to prevent himself from making the situation worse.]
no subject
( eventually jason will catch sight of clawmarks in her legs and shoulders, a nick on her neck, the blood splattered on the skylight roof above them. maybe he'll see some of the horrors of yogen himself, and not just the aftermath of an inflicted suffering. but for now, all he has is her and noah- two kids left hurting too much, hearts delicate and raw. )
Sometimes things are okay. But then something happens. ... I'd say you get used to it, but you don't. Not really.
no subject
I want to say it'll be alright, but...
[God he really sucks at this. Why couldn't it have been Dick to show up here? He was better at comforting kids. Or just about anyone.
Then again, he wouldn't want Dick involved in whatever the fuck this mess was. Death was more his domain.]
I got your back. Both of you.
no subject
( that 'alright' is fleeting, but also something to be treasured in the moments they have it. he doesn't need to feed her platitudes- she doesn't want them anyways.
but that affirmation catches her off guard and nene blinks a couple times before finally giving a small smile- she's not sure how he means that, or how he'll go about it, but... )
Okay. ... 'M sorry, but I'm tired, so I'm gonna go back to napping, okay? But it was nice meeting you.
no subject
[He gives her a little grin, nodding his head.]
Get some sleep. Can both of you fit in there? For sleeping, i mean.
no subject
( the power of snuggles is powerful and good, honestly. )
no subject
[He wanted to say 'don't do anything I wouldn't do' but they don't know each other and are not that close.]
Goodnight, both of you.
