October mini-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.
✽ Hello (: there are nine bodies to find (:

Hmm, yeah. There's something I wanted to confirm...
It'd be better to have someone else on hand that can move freely within the void... that, or a sturdy length of rope. Can't be careless under these circumstances... it'd be annoying if something unexpected appeared... [maybe he should ping Lucifer? he digs through his pocket for his PDA.
... and while he's doing that, he holds his other hand palm-up to Subaru.]
Give me that knife.
no subject
You're not gonna make me a victim, right?
HEY GUYS CHECK OUT THIS SICK GRIND
[ Guess who is covered in blood (not theirs! unrelated! lots of bodies about guys, be careful!) and decided to go practice skateboarding today.
They were trying to do a sick grind off the railing because they saw Death the Kid do that once when he was trying to kill them, but instead they're just falling down the stairs.
The skateboard rockets down the staircase, doing a perfect flying spin right at Add's face as Crona tumbles down a few seconds after. ]
crying
that's the sound of a skateboard whapping Add on the back of the head. his PDA goes flying out of his hands and onto poor gonbei-chan's lap.
whatever he was about to say is replaced by some pained hissing, clutching the back of his head which may or may not be sprinkling some glittery pink dust(???) now.... don't worry about it, he's fine.]
What the hell was that?! [WHO DID THIS]
10/10
taking SEVERAL STEPS AWAY that is, not his fault.]
From an outsider's point of view, a total bystander who had nothing to do with it, it's a skateboard from the heavens.
[the stairwell. hi crona, he... sees you over there, he'll come over to help them up. don't... be dead?]
Are you okay, Go-chan...?
no subject
[ Crona sits up perfectly fine and ready to yell down at Add...don't worry they're a horrible little lab experiment it will take more then stairs to kill them. ]
I'm practicing tricks! So there...don't be hard to deal with! [ They turn at Subaru's adress...weren't they "gore-y" last time they spoke? The new nickname is probably less scary. ]
Oh? Hi...I'm fine the stairs here aren't even made of rocks. And its not a heaven skateboard its name is Beelzebub.
[ The skateboard floats by Add's head...perhaps with a....malicious aura??? ]
no subject
... but the skateboard drifting next to him is interesting, too. he stares at that instead, and after a moment he picks it up out of the air to turn it around in his hands. hmmmmmm.]
Is this yours? Hm... something like this would also do.
You, Chrome or whatever. You're going to assist me with an experiment. Consider it your apology for assaulting me. [he'll forgive, at the cost of one (1) skateboarding session, which he will ensure by tucking said skateboard under his arm. his now.
anyway, he already asked so he's just gonna
take the knife from Subaru's hand while he's confused, and then use it to stab himself. just stick the blade straight through his palm like he don't even care. Add's blood is neon-bright magenta like he's some kind of dangus rangus character and the moment it drips onto the floor they're all going straight to voidschool.]
no subject
anyway subaru is gonna lean against the wall of void school thanks to the vertigo and then look at add and crona, who'd be wicked partners in crime at any point if it wasn't today.]
Maybe I should've tried harder to wake Natsume up to get a good fortune today...
[since NOTHING has been nice since he stepped into school!!!! you know what, maybe his breakfast even sucked. maybe his jog sucked.]
no subject
It's Crona? Not Chrome! Please get my name right I don't know how to deal with repeat introductions.
[ The kids are fighting, Crona does not even blink when Add stabs his hand and sends them all to the void, perfectly willing to continue this argument in any location. They will throw you, short old guy. ]
Give that back its miiinnnneeee. Subaru tell him he has to give it back this isn't fair.
[ Stop talking about Natsume and focus! ]
no subject
but he does shove the skateboard back into Crona's hands. The knife, meanwhile, is just getting chucked somewhere onto the floor because he literally does not care about it anymore. The bloodied hand gets wiped on Subaru's shirt. Add aims leave nothing less than an amazing first impression.]
You. [...... he already forgot Subaru's name, he's just gonna point] Stop complaining and pick up that body for me. We're taking it to the void.
[the void-void. which is right down the hall from them, i guess, since they're in the middle part of the first floor...]
no subject
get the body i guess. like what else is he gonna do here, for real.]
Are your noodle arms too weak to carry a body, or are you still concussed from Go-chan's awesome board?
[the void-void....... he saw it in his jog around voidschool once. it's. a force alright.]
no subject
I can help, Subaru. [ They tuck the skateboard under their arm and lean over to grab the body by the ankle, and if he helps, start dragging it after Add. ] You look kind of woozy. Did you eat breakfast?
[ Calling over to Add in a much ruder tone. ] Why does the body need to go into the void again? Won't the shadow people take it if we wait around?
no subject
obviously Add doesn't want to dirty his hands any more than he already has, so he just starts walking towards their destination while waiting for the body-haulers to keep up.]
I want to observe the full process myself, so no, allowing the shadows to interfere would muddy the results... [that, and... they don't seem to be interested. the shadows mill about as usual, but none of them seem to be noticing the body or moving to grab it. hmm.
... he'll file that observation away for now.]
I want to see what happens to it up close... so I'm going to stay in there with the body for awhile. Someone needs to stay behind and watch in case something happens that I can't see from inside. And in case I'm unable to return on my own... it's unlikely, but if I'm incapacitated then this flying board should be enough to retrieve me with.
Perform adequately and I'll reward you after.
no subject
I ate, it's just been a [uh] hell of a morning. And this place always throws me off.
[it sucks......... coming here and going back. he thought he had the last of it like, two weeks ago. anyway add's speaking a whole different level of language subaru doesn't want to touch, so he'll just pick up the end crona doesn't and walk along.]
You can really just like, sit in there? It doesn't hurt or anything?
no subject
[ Feed them and they will maybe consider rescuing you with a skateboard, even if you are really annoying. Beyond that, they're happy to keep pace with the body, noting that the shadows aren't stopping them, but not really thinking anything of it. ]
Oh, this place? It's kind of gross looking, but I don't mind it. [ Small smile over the dead body they are both carrying. Yes...friends... ] Rika gave me a mirror shard, so you can leave if you want, you just have to give it back later.
no subject
[he turns enough to glance back at Subaru, not that they have very far to walk, but]
There's no sound, gravity, and the temperature is likely uncomfortable for most living things... but nothing about that space is directly harmful. I've spent over twenty-four consecutive hours in it without any adverse effects, so unless something unusual happens, this time should be fine as well.
Kukuku, does the endless abyss strike fear into your heart...? Perhaps that's a wise reaction... but if you remove the unknown factors, fear becomes irrational. Understand the risks involved and you can traverse any terrain safely. Even the void isn't impossible to overcome.
[stop being such a baby, Subaru.]
no subject
also....... no wonder natsume is gonna give glowing reviews about add.........]
You sound like Natsume after zero hours of sleep. [someone needs to know how his bff gets] Anyway, I'm not scared, just curious about it 'cause I was busy with something else when I was here last. If there's no gravity, do you just float up in it?
[maybe. he wants to try sticking his leg in the void.]
no subject
I'm not scared of the endless abyss! [ Anyway! Pouting a little...they aren't scared! ] I went in there with Mr. Lucifer and we were fine? It's just a hole, but forever. Forever is the only scary thing about it.
[ Assuming they've reached the void at this point, Crona will put the body down, stand back and offer the skateboard to Subaru. ]
Subaru is nice so he can borrow Beelzebub if he wants to go down there with Add. It'll come if I call it, so as long as you hang on tight you should be okay.
no subject
but yeah it's not like they had far to walk considering the whole right wing of the first floor is void now. Add stops at the edge of it, turning to grab poor gonbei-chan by the back of their shirt.]
Stay here for now. If something does happen, it'll be easier to confirm what it is from a distance. If you see me waving my arms, then you can come in after me. [that's a signal that's pretty hard to misinterpret.] Otherwise, only intervene if it's absolutely necessary.
Ah... and you should probably stand back a bit. The edge of the void has been known to crumble. One or two feet should be enough distance.
[and that's all the advice he's gonna give before hauling gonbei-chan up with both hands and pushing him into the void. Add follows shortly after, drifting into the darkness at a leisurely pace. also at some point Dynamo lets itself out of his jacket pocket, because I forgot until just now that he'd need it but rest assured that there is also a cute little purple drone here to help control the corpse and Add's drifting speed so they don't go flying off into the abyss never to be seen again.
and he didn't bother to tell them how long he planned to wait, so uhhh
enjoy ~15 minutes of chatting amongst yourselves i guess, eventually accompanied by some suspicious electrical flashes and burning corpse smells from off in the distance
it's fine.]
no subject
and... then they are alone, hm. while add does his thing. subaru'll look at crona, then at the void-void... and then back at crona.]
So... What did you mean? That you can throw your blood around. That sounds pretty cool.
no subject
My blood is black...so I can move it. It's just how it is? Sorry I can't explain it well...its something Lady Medusa made.
no subject
That's fine! Wow~, that's so cool... I wouldn't be able to explain it either, so don't beat yourself over it. Who's Lady Medusa? She must be super amazing to do that.
[talk to him...... about my personal favorite person in all of soul eater,
also he's not gonna think about the bad implications of someone making blood for someone else ill br]
no subject
Oh thats...my mother. [ Not a terrible enthusiastic answer. Being away from her for month has softened the blow of fear, but nothing has really risen to replace it. Crona is dead anyway, so why bother thinking about someone who didn't need them anymore. ]
Lady Medusa is pretty amazing. I think? She's really smart and strong and she never gives up. When she makes a plan she always wins. [ What else can they even say...] I don't want her to come here though, she'd be mean to Stephanie.
no subject
She sounds like a hell of a woman. [but they don't seem... too fond of her...? not even a "mom"... or maybe it's a curated distance.] Why do you call her Lady Medusa if she's your mom?
[he's not afraid to ask the "why would you ask that" questions]
