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.

[ She'll take care of them, but barely giving them a glance and sliding them into the same pocket she's keeping the others. ]
But no, I'm not much of an artist. I'm an awesome dancer, though! You should see my roundhouse kick!
no subject
You're a dancer, now? Come on Kudo-san, show me what you're capable of.
( he's going to sit down in a chair to clap his hands like he's encouraging her to try. also, he's low enough for her to get a really good kick in.
RIGHT IN THE CHEST! RIGHT IN THE CHE— )

no subject
immediate pain, it's not what he's used to, but he'll try to compare it to her punches afterwards. as he crumbles to the ground, like literally falling off the seat he's sitting on — he's down on his knees, placing a hand over his nose to keep himself from bleeding.
...
sure, there's a little blood slipping through the cracks, and his face is turning red from the exposure to her roundhouse kick— )
K-Kudo-san...
( he's out of breath, he can't breathe THROUGH HIS NOSE!!! )
no subject
[ She crouches down next to him because it looks like he's having trouble standing. Here, praise her to her face. ]
no subject
...H-How many people... have you used that on?
( like he's trying to figure out how much practice went into that, and then it comes to him...
...
...
maybe he should let blood drip. )
no subject
[ Lots of practice! Practice makes perfect, after all, and she's perfect.
...
maybe he should let blood drip. Why is he bleeding in all my threads ]
no subject
( how does she do wonderfully in dancing, but was like that in art... is this why her kicks are so painful.
STOP!! who took his blood first... mysterious hero x... and she kicked him! what is he supposed to do, withhold his blood?
maybe he'll let one drip on the floor. just one little dot. )
no subject
Huh? No one taught me. Dancing is something you just do, like singing and drawing.
[ They're normal human things. ]
no subject
You were born talented?
( he's still holding his nose trying to keep the blood from dripping, and he turns away from her a bit so he can look for a tissue, anything that'll wipe it away. )
no subject
[ So sad to be you... ]
Your face is a mess. Go to the bathroom and clean yourself up.
no subject
( ... WHAT DO YOU MEAN .
okay, he's going to place his bloody hand on the floor as he gets up, sometimes you have to check these things out... )
no subject
Wha—- [ She whacks him on the arm, like this is his fault, which it is ]
Make it go back!
no subject
What do you mean?
( he knows what the problem is... but the void shouldn't be this close to them anyway, so he'll act like he doesn't notice a thing. )
no subject
TURN. IT. BACK.
no subject
You're being weird... what turned? ...Oh.
( the lights, it is dark... isn't it, okay, he's going to remove her hands off him so he can get up, and he'll walk to the lights. is this how the yogen natives used to act... he flips it??? let there be light? )
no subject
Chiaki looks very unimpressed. ]
no subject
( the lights are in fact NOT on, and they're going to be walking in the dark. welcome to yogen, chiaki, at least there's no nausea on this trip. )
no subject
...
...
rattles one of the hallway windows, but it's not opening for her either. ]
no subject
...
...
...
here we go, he can only watch her struggle so much until... )
I wouldn't do that if I was you... this school doesn't have the biggest budget... ( he takes a step off to the side, hand to his chin as he thinks of where to do — there's sooo much they can do here. )
So let me help.
no subject
The school's budget isn't my problem. But okay. Let's see how good your cross punch is! Take it out in one blow!
no subject
( hell NO! rather, can't he just open it, because that's what he's going to do like a normal person because he's weak, and not going to break his hand. )
Why not throw a desk at it, you seem strong enough.
( anyway does it open... are we allowed to give chiaki a desk. )
no subject
... ]
The workshop has a chainsaw, doesn't it?
no subject
( he's going to walk away from the window towards the door, waiting for her to follow. )
Make sure not to fall in the pitch black that's the floor, you won't like the consequences.
( if she thinks a chainsaw will be able to help her, then he shouldn't crush her hopes, it's something like this that makes seeing it worth it. if she fails, she'll find another means of getting through... he's helping! )
no subject
[ Avoiding the darkness around the cooking room isn't too difficult, and Chiaki walks right along the edge so she can peer inside instead of giving it a wide berth. ]
