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.

[ Swearing is no longer allowed. Sara forgot her calculator in here and got excused to go grab it only to find...all the lights off? Yeah, no way is she walking across this room in the dark.
She's trying to flip them up, but the tape is making it hard. She's be swearing herself, if she wasn't so vehemently against it. ]
no subject
SorRY, I hadn't realized anyone was aROUND. ( He needs to do better... He needs to hone his listening more. Frustrating, but he sighs and carefully starts his walk again.
...At least he makes it to Sara, his hand finding the wall and sliding to touch hers—cover it, using his thumb to break the tape with some difficulty so they can flip the lightswitch Together. Romance.
Would be more romantic if he weren't wincing at the brightness even with his eyes closed, but he squints after a moment to let them adjust as he steps away. ) Shouldn't a model student like yourself be in CLASS, Chidouin-san?
no subject
Around? Look, if you want to practice walking in the dark why are you using the common room?
[ She clicks her tongue, jamming her thumb up against the lightswitch again. Seriously, he has his own room. This is a common area, and while she's glad people are using it, it still feels kind of annoying she has to work this hard when she should be in class.
Then Natsume's (probably very nice) hand touches her...Sara lets out a pretty undignified yelp. She just wasn't expecting it! Someone, touching her hand...in the dark! He's practically holding her hand, without even asking!
The lights coming on to show Natsume's squinting face does ruin the moment...but Sara still looks flustered. ]
Ah! Um! Er...well its embarrassing to say but I forgot my calculator?
no subject
I'm using the entire dormitoRY, personal rooms aside—it's important for me to know my way aROUND.
( not TOO big of a secret he's going blind since he said it at that meeting like a month ago or whatever, but, yeah. )
And... I SEE. That's unexpected of YOU, but I find that type of thing rather charming from girls who seem so put-togeTHER.
no subject
[ Going blind..yes. Ah yes...the log I totally read, because I'm a good rper who reads all the meeting backlog ;w;).............. ]
Seem...? [ Torn between being flattered she seems put together, and the implication its all an act. It isn't! She works hard!] How its it unexpected? It's a simple mistake everyone makes! I thought it was in my bag but its probably on my desk.
So, you see. I have loads of better charming traits, thank you! [ Subaru made a whole post. ]
no subject
I suppose Baru-kun did do a good job at showcasing YOU. He let me buy you for a hug and some change THOUGH, so your worth is still to be deterMINED.
no subject
He totally undersold it!? What a terrible attitude! [ No business sense at all. If you're going to do something do it right! ] Honestly that guy...and you're just as bad?
Why did you even take him up on it? He even said the post was intentionally bad.
no subject
( ...not a lie, so. )
Don't worRY. I didn't take it very seriousLY, so you shouldn't eiTHER. I was just ensuring no one else with worse designs would win the BID.
no subject
[ Doki... ]
Oh, like I'd listen to some dumb online post. But...since I owe you something for your cheapskate bid, do you need any help with your practice before I go back to class?
no subject
You'd do that for ME? ( above average kindness for sure. ) ...Well, if you could try to sneak up on ME, I'd like to test how honing my hearing is goING.
( .... )
I promise I won't hurt YOU.
no subject
I help out after class...I think the teacher will forgive me if I say I got distracted helping someone. [ Not even a lie! ] I'm not sure how sneaky I am, but maybe that'll be easier for you then someone skilled at this.
[ She turns to flick the light off again, pausing as Natsume speaks. Oh, right. She'd forgotten about all that mess a few months ago...even if she'd helped Stephanie (and Natsume, how funny) find that body. ]
I won't hurt you either, okay? Ready to start?
no subject
He also wasn't too worried about her hurting him either, but he's quiet as he lets his eye adjust to the darkness again, then closes them both. Listening carefully... )
...Whenever you ARE, Chidouin-san.
no subject
She's spent enough time here to remember which floorboards creak, but her footsteps aren't completely silent as she creeps closer-
-Only to jump the last few feet, and grab his shoulders! ]
Gotcha!
