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.

When you kill someone, you think of those that'll be able to take the death of that person, and use it to push themselves forward. Some are too attached to the norm, like everything around us...
( that is said as he links arms with him, keeping him close, and there's probably shit on the ground that's going to trip one of them how komaeda bumps shoulders. )
Who are you, and do you even know how to get out?
no subject
You shatter reality. I'm somebody who's been here longer than you have, and who doesn't need the advice. You do: this isn't a place you want to find yourself in too often, or for too long.
no subject
...We shatter reality.
( ... )
Why do you say it like that? You must know everything about this place, will you help a lowly first year like me... what are the tips and tricks?
( he's excited, of course, teach him senpai. )
no subject
I say it how it is. Here's a tip: fuck off.
[ Not that he expects Komaeda to. Now that they're no longer touching each other, he starts forward again, with the steady pace of somebody who knows where he's going, except where he's going is just down the hall and looking at every room they pass and then up the stairs, apparently to weave in and out of the school like he's taking Komaeda on a tour. ]
no subject
...
( he really is taking him on a tour, i'm sick, which komaeda's seen this place thousands of times, but he always looks after his mystery friend as if he'll show him something new. wandering through the void is the best spot to stay when depressed, no one bothers you, no one cares, and if you die here, you die out there. it's simple as that, and a place that komaeda's used to surveying, and using for his more... alone time needs to think about what to do for the future, etc. )
Hmm... Senpai, where are we going?
( he smiles, looking towards the other as he links their arms. let's go!! )
no subject
We're not going anywhere. We'll come back to the same place in the end, anyways.
[ Back to the nurse's office in the middle of the day, but not yet. First is the Yogen tour, and he's very literally just walking and opening doors and looking inside and moving on. ]
no subject
You're right... you're right... are you able to open the door to the science lab?
( since he's opening all the doors, maybe he can open that one as a treat, which maybe komaeda has to add a little onto the story. he'll lift up his mechanical arm, showing it off as it makes sense. )
Also... what's your homeroom, Senpai?
no subject
[ But the door to the science lab has a window on it, so he merely looks through it and moves on.
Ignoring that question, he lifts his left arm in mirroring Komaeda's. ]
How'd you lose it?
no subject
I'll tell you all about it if you let me into the room.
( that's a fair trade, right? he's even going to look back towards the science lab. )
Here and in the other world... I'll give you the whole detail about it, from start to finish.
no subject
[ He should know that already, for how often he must have tried to get inside the science room or out through the front doors and courtyard back when he wasn't allowed anywhere. ]
no subject
( it was worth a try since he seems so... aware of what's going on, and it's that one room that eludes them — honestly, komaeda wanted to take the skeleton model considering add's obsessed with i-- wait. )
The anatomical model, can you retrieve it for me? I'll make it worth your while once a peer of mine examines it.
( basically the only thing komaeda wants out the room. )
no subject
What use are you to me?
[ He's a senpai, information about the school wouldn't be news to him, what he can get out of Komaeda he's sure he can get elsewhere. ]
no subject
...My primary function? I'm a stepping stone, use me as you like as long as it's for hope.
( he hums in thought, looking over to the other. )
What are you interested in...? I can't read your mind, and me being straightforward is a luxury.
no subject
I'm interested in seeing what's beyond the mountain crest that surrounds the school. You can't help me with that, can you?
no subject
You can't go that far either, hm... we're in the same boat, then.
( wait, how far can he get, well... )
...I have one idea, but I'm not sure if it'll work...
no subject
[ He gets leverage because Komaeda wants this more than he wants freedom ]
no subject
( ... this might make no sense to him, but komaeda takes a step forward as he crosses his arms in thought. )
...I'm unsure what's out there, but it can protect itself... it's killed enough to know how... hm...
( ...hm. )
no subject
[ What he's getting is that Komaeda is offering him a piece of Junk and then he stopped listening. ]
Try it out first, then come to me if it works.
no subject
( of course, that means finding a mirror to breath, and he'll want him to do the honors. )
I want to kill two birds with one stone, and they aren't here in the void... break glass for us ... hm...
( hm. ) Tsubou-kun.
no subject
no subject
( he's following. )
You want to know, don't you?
no subject
[ Do NOT follow. They're going to take another tour of the school. ]
no subject
( what is tsubou-kun talking about. )
You asked something of me, and I can make it happen... I don't understand.
no subject
[ Where'd the confidence come from now? Don't lie to him. ]
And my name isn't "Tsubou."
no subject
( stop, he'll follow his new tsubou-kun so they can learn together, but they can't do it in the void! )
Then what is it?
