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.

subaru likes coming to the study hall so he can have someplace to sit and mark down numbers for this and that, and also to take a nap in, rather than any necessary study... but he doesn't like sitting alone, so he's at least sitting at the same table as sara,
formally jotting down things from the book he's laying his head on, now watching her work.
... ... ...
he remembers the sign.]
Sasara, what counts as a personal question?
no subject
[ She doesn't even look up from studying, underlining an English phrase in her notes and flipping a page in her textbook. ]
A personal question is...personal. Like something you wouldn't tell a stranger. Like a girls weight, or a lie you told, or what you actually think about someone.
[ She looks up at Subaru, quirking a brow. ]
Do you want to ask me a personal question, Subaru?
no subject
[with a bright, leisurely grin ☆]
no subject
[ She reserves full and total rights to demand 500 merit points worth of jam if Subaru insults her...but he's nice, so she'll play along. ]
The first question can be free, but I'll charge if you're pushy.
no subject
[he'll sit up!!!]
What kinda hobbies did you have before coming here?
no subject
Ah...hobbies. [ Beyond studying...that took up a lot of her time. That and avoiding her stalker... ] Does it surprise you that I liked messing around with my friends more then clubs? We'd go to cafes.
...I also collected stuffed animals.
no subject
[like getting two capsules out of a gachapon machine...]
It doesn't surprise me at all, Sasara! You're a girl too~, I would've been more surprised if you said you didn't actually study as much as you seem to here. What sorta cafes? Animal ones? And what's your favorite stuffed animal you have?
[like honestly, the second point is more surprising...... sara collects stuffed animals, that's so cute... maybe he'll mention it to the shopkeep sometime so they have something to bond over besides math]
no subject
[ She's aiming to be the top of the first years, because what else is she supposed to do? If you give Sara a challenge she'll just do her best. ]
Of course I'm a girl? Geez, mostly I went wherever my friends took me. Themed places don't always have good drinks...don't you hate that? If I'm going to spend my allowence on drinks, I want them to taste good.
Ah favorites...well they were my rare ones? They were more of a series then individual animals. I like black cats best, but the toys I collected were more like monsters that looked like eggs.
[ Help me explain these weird ass toys . I'd love to think they're the in universe equivalent to webkinz. ]
no subject
... and he'll try drawing the monsters that she's describing in his notebook. like, you know digitamamon from digimon? like that.]
This? Black cats fit you though, you're sorta like them.
no subject
[ She draws...something in her notebook, and then quickly covers it. She's not ready to derail this conversation with her terrible art. ]
Are you saying I'm bad luck? How rude... [ She doesn't seem that upset. ]
no subject
but that's cute... so she likes that.]
Pfft, people who fall for that are dumb~. Cats're cats, y'know? They don't have good or bad luck attached to them, unless it's about money. That one's definitely real. ♪
no subject
Well since you're making the comparison, should I prepare to have you financially depend on me?
[ Even if he's an idol with...do they pay you at idol school? Do you get any cut of concert profits? IS SUBARU BEING FAIRLY COMPENSATED FOR HIS LABOR?? ]
What's your favorite animal, while we're on the subject? [ Scooting notebook further away... ]
no subject
Sure, if you want! I won't say no to some extra merit points in my pocket. ☆
[trickstar does pay out of pocket though for freedom's sake. so they get paid but they're broke. it's their own fault but they're sincerely fine with it.]
Dogs! I love dogs~. I had one back home, a roly-poly shiba inu named Daikichi~. He's the cutest, softest little thing ever! ♪
no subject
If you get an A on your next quiz, you get 300 merits! [ This school has made her such a meddler on grades... ]
How cute! Ugh...this is where I'd ask if you had pictures on your phone, but those are all long gone. I'll just have to imagine...a shiba inu with cheeks like mochi.
I wish Angel was back...I miss petting her.
no subject
tucking that bit about the merit points away he won't say no to that nope!!!]
If you come back to my room, I've got a couple of drawings I can show you. [innocent... holding a girl's hand and asking her to come back to his room...] Who's Angel?
