11/08 - 11/13 Cultural Festival

The school campus opens its doors to the public early Monday morning, with family, friends, neighbors, and strangers arriving to fill up the halls, each visitor having eyes of gold and wallets full of cash. Festival events run from 8AM to 4PM, and pamphlets are handed out by students lining the locker area, which include a schedule and a map of the campus:

✽ The opening event on Monday is an idol performance in the auditorium by the twin star unit GEMINI, consisting of Natsume Sakasaki and Subaru Akehoshi. On Thursday afternoon, the music club will hold a performance in the auditorium, featuring the typical choir with piano accompaniment, a capella performances by smaller groups of members, as well as solos, with requests taken in between performances so members can switch off and take a break.

✽ The student store is open every day up until noon on Saturday, and while the absurdly high prices are still absurdly high, there is a sign up in front of the rock gacha that one of the prizes is an all day pass to any of the school's events for one day of the festival. The odds aren't worth the price, but it's not like the shopkeep reveals the odds.

✽ Class 1-B is hosting a themed cafe in their homeroom.

✽ Class 1-D has turned their homeroom and neighboring classrooms into escape rooms, which runs from Tuesday to Friday.

✽ The robotics/programing club and the gaming club have set up a variety of video games in 2-A, and are hosting a competition between visitors and their AI.

✽ Class 3-D is hosting a kissing booth in their homeroom.

✽ In the home ec cooking room, the cooking club is hosting a cooking contest, with student judges and prizes for the winners.

✽ The sewing club and the art club have put together a photo booth inside the home ec sewing room, featuring all sorts of props and costumes imaginable to try on and pose in front of a number of hand painted backgrounds. Photos are taken by an instant camera for visitors to take home a keepsake. In the art club room, the art club has a gallery set up, with paintings hanging from the walls and sculptures set up in front of them, and a strict no touching policy or one of the members threatens to scoop your eye out with a palette knife and she doesn't look like she's joking. There is a large open canvas, however, for visitors to try their hand at paints or charcoal or pastels on what will become a collaborative art piece done by an entire week's worth of visitors. Occasionally throughout the festival, an art club member will have a space off to the corner for portraits or face painting.

✽ The sewing club has also contributed plush toy prizes for various other class' game stalls throughout the school, where visitors can pay to play for a chance to win small prizes, and are able to trade up several smaller prizes for larger ones.

✽ Out past the courtyard, various sports teams host games throughout the week, including relay races and obstacle courses and tug o' war and """soccer""". Basically it's sports day, because there had been a sports day on the calendar but I never look at the calendar so it was already halfway through the month before I realized.

✽ The fourth floor hallway has been cleaned up and turned into the rest area, with rugs laid out across the ground and comfy chairs scattered around the room and little bags of cat treats for sale to entice the fluffy white cat into hanging out in this space all week. Even without treats, she is content to sit on people's laps and rub against their ankles and let them bury their faces in her stomach. Healing.

✽ In the evening on the final day, after all the visitors leave, a large bonfire is set up in a non-flammable area between the courtyard and pool building and left to burn late into the night for those students who choose to remain on campus until around 8PM, when the festival culminates in a small fireworks show that lights up the sky overhead in reds and golds, while on the ground, sparklers are passed around for a quiet moment appreciating the beauty, and transience, of life.

OOC

✽ Throughout the school year, merit points have occasionally been earned through interactions between students involving strong emotion, whether positive or negative. This month, characters may notice that this happens much more frequently, and the amount of merit points earned is also sometimes more than the typical one point. Please report threads of strong emotion below, as this will minorly affect December.
✽ On 11/23, Yogen sees its first snow of the year, a light dusting across campus that does not stick when the sun rises again the next morning, but it will snow on and off until the end of the month.
✽ This event log doubles as a TDM, with new characters experiencing the recurring feeling of drifting in (school life) and out (canon life) of sleep up until they "open their eyes," after which they will have full awareness and come to their senses.

TOUCH FUZZY, GET DIZZY

[commences]

At eight a.m. the fourth floor is entirely empty, every door along the hall shut, and the light completely black. They'll hear something beeping, but won't be able to tell where it's coming from, perhaps it's from one of the locked doors? For a moment, the lights blink on and off, and at a door, they can see a (un)familiar creature sitting there idle, probably. It isn't moving, but there seems to be something black with straps sitting in its grasp with red numbers that read: 00:00, and there's a slip of paper on the wall that says "WEAR ME".

[deductivedance]

[ Naturally, any cryptic note with no name found in ones' room would prove to be quite suspicious. And indeed it is! But that's not going to stop this detective in his search to find the truth. Well, the only thing he wished for at the moment was his night-vision goggles or a flashlight, but that's about it. He'll take as good a look as he can at the black thing with straps, trying to decipher what it is before deciding to put it on without another thought! ]

emerges from my chrysalis as the ugliest fucking moth youve ever seen

[silentabyss]

[Bro

So Noah just walked in and he walked in late clearly because there is a dude wearing the ugliest fucking bear costume Noah's ever seen in his life.]

...hi. [Pauses. Looks down at the note in his hand.] You wouldn't happen to have the other half of this, would you?

*the most beautiful moth EXCUSE U

[deductivedance]

Ah, greetings! Are you here to discover the truth as well?

[ Herlock strolls over and takes a look at the note, perusing its contents for a moment. ] I can't say I've come across the other half of this note as of yet, dear fellow. It appears as if the bears referenced within this page just might have bitten off more than they can chew!

[ Pun absolutely intended. He absolutely laughs at his own joke. He knows of Goldilocks and the Three Bears; why, it's a rather recent story to Herlock, actually! It can't have been more than 50 years since publishing. ...Well, there were different versions floating around. But still! He knows about it. ]

[silentabyss]

[This man has so much energy and Noah has so little, this is going to be fantastic... he automatically looks tired. He doesn't mean to look tired, but he's exhausted, and also...

...

Who the fuck is this—]

...Th-that's okay. Uh... It's Noah, by the way. I don't think we've met.

[futurebullets]

[It's okay if Noah is late because Hinata is late as well, at least by a little bit. He's been skeptical of the note's contents, but eventually his curiosity had won out in the end.

He gets there in time to hear Herlock's pun (fortunate? unfortunate?), and to make a face at both that and whatever it is that the man happens to be wearing.]

What the hell is going...

[Whatever he'd been about to say is forgotten. Hinata's face rapidly goes pale as he sees what's behind them.]

How did he- No, something's wrong... He doesn't look right, so what... [What does it mean. How much danger are they in. His voice shakes a little, but he forces it louder, projecting so both Herlock and Noah will hear.] Hey... I don't know what's going on in here, but you guys shouldn't get near that thing...!

[silentabyss]

[Escape room really said don't use powers to Noah Ebalon huh... but he senses danger. He will behave.

Noah being Noah, he immediately shoves Hinata and Herlock behind him, which is extremely funny if you think about it because Noah is only 5'3", but don't worry he's got this y'all.]

What is it? Do you think it'll attack?

[commences]

Upon inspection, Herlock will find that the straps indicate to get inside the room, someone has to wear the item encased in a black box that seems suspicious, but really isn't suspicious. All he can see is the red numbers on the front that read 00:00. Aside from that, the Monokuma Unit sits perfectly still, but they can see in its red, jagged eye that it's blinking faster than before.

Trust the bear, it doesn't make any movements when Noah threatens it either... 5'3" people are scary when they jump up front.

[futurebullets]

[Hinata yelps when he's thrust behind Noah - and really, given that Hinata has eight feet over him, it is absolutely comical - but he regains his balance quickly enough. He's tense, waiting for the other shoe to drop, but he feels himself relax marginally when the bear makes no movements towards them.]

...It's Monokuma. Or it looks like him, at least, just- [He breaks off, taking in the sight of it once more.] Less melted. Or gory, whatever you want to call it. [It's hard to tell, really. Junk Monokuma's got a lot going on.] Anyway... we thought that it might be a machine or something being controlled by someone else, but...

[He pauses for another moment. Wonders if it's okay to say it, but really, Hinata hasn't been trying to keep it a secret about what they've been through.]

He's the one that forced me and Komaeda into a Killing Game before we ended up here.

[He'll follow along if Noah or Herlock makes a move, but he makes none of his own towards the next room or otherwise.]
