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.

okay, as long as he who must not be named pops up. )
YOU WONDER WHAT I SEE IN YOU
WITH ALL YOUR IMAGINED
OR EXAGERATED IMPERFECTIONS
MY LOVE IS LIKE RAIN
WASHING AWAY THE PASSING FLAWS
LIKE TORN PAPER AND WRAPPERS
COURSING TOWARDS THE SEWER
CARESSING, POLISHING
WHAT IS PERMANENT, SOLID, PURE.
CLEAN AND OBVIOUS
AS THE GLISTENING STATUE
WERE DRIVING BY NOW.
NO SEKI, MY LOVE ISN'T BLIND.
IT PULLS AWAY.
AS FAR AS A CLOUD FROM THE SIDEWALK
AND GAINS PERSPECTIVE
PLEASE SAVE ME IF YOU CAN
no subject
Maybe he's just not a poetry guy. Maybe his reading comprehension is lacking, because he can't get the mental image of "my love for you is like sewage" out of his head. That sure is his name, though... ]
...What's this?
no subject
What do you think it is?
( it's a shame because it's not even in komaeda's handwriting, so it doesn't belong to him which means he brought it from someone else, and he's not going to tell who. )
no subject
[ Because somebody's love for him is like sewage and also it reads like a love letter. Impossible. ]
no subject
( it's a very well written love letter, there's symbolism in it, but that's not komaeda's place to explain. )
Are you rejecting that person's affections?
no subject
I didn't say that... Are you going to tell me who this is from?
no subject
( that's it... he's a misogynist. )
Not cool, Seki-kun...
no subject
[ He's the one getting bullied in the first place, don't turn this around on him ]
no subject
( you know, in komaeda's day, he got tons of love letters, i think that's what kodaka said, or his female fanbase was really high, but komaeda... never noticed them. anyway, this is about kouji, not him. )
Should I tell them you hate their guts or... this is giving me mixed signals.
no subject
[ He's only interested in one person and that person already hates his guts, nothing Komaeda gives him means anything ]
no subject
( and what if this IS that person, maybe she wrote this as disgusting as she could do kouji would fuck off? things like that happen, i mean it's not the case, but! )
Ahaha, okay, I can tell you all about them... they're part of a club.
no subject
That's basically all the students in the school...
no subject
Well think, there's only so many that even notice you and your pathetic grades.
no subject
[ all you smart people who think anything less than 100% is pathetic should just shut upppppppp ]
no subject
( komaeda's passing, but kouji doesn't know that.
STOPPPPPPPPPPP WE SEEN KOUJI'S GRADES THIS MAN FAILING, DIGGIN HIS OWN COFFIN. )
no subject
I guess not...
[ wait ]
But you have to tell me who that letter is from, first.
no subject
( he answered it, though that was obvious. kouji didn't ask for names. )
Help me with... the subject you're best at.
( basketball? what's his new profession. )
no subject
[ It's economics. Except don't ask me anything about economics, all I remember is that supply and demand graph and that's it. ]
no subject
( he's looking up at kouji, telling himself not to retain any information he learns from him. he's just going to make komaeda fail. )
How about we go to the library.
no subject
Okay, fine. What are you learning right now?
no subject
( which he says in english, because he knows english, but it's because i don't know what first years learn. )
I've heard people call it a romantic language.
no subject
[ The one that Kouji is supposed to be teaching him? ]
no subject
( let him go off memory: )
The demand function for Product X is given by: Qdx = 10 + 0.06I - 2Px - 0.5Py + 0.7Pz... or something like that.
( ... )

I'm the one quizzing you. Tell me how you would solve it.
