00:00 01/01

✽ At the stoke of midnight, something shatters on the ground floor in front of the bulletin board, and the entire school goes dark: all electricity gets shut off, all flames are snuffed out, and the sky is heavily overcast to hide the moon and the stars. The only source of light are the suncatchers purchased from the student store, but even those fully charged will start to dim and go out over the next three days.
✽ Nene, Hinata, Noah, Amami, and Komaeda will smell something burning, and if they pull out their PDAs, it is hot to the touch and the casing is cracked, like something had blown from the inside, and their PDAs will not be working. For everybody else, the screen flickers when they press their thumb to their PDAs, and then goes dark again. ...
✽ If anybody was inside the main school building at midnight, I am so sorry, and for everybody else who enters the building afterwards, please watch your step. The appearance and atmosphere of the school has changed to that of the "void school" and can not be reverted upon breaking a mirror. Please refer to the aforementioned link for details about the school.
✽ As of midnight, no npcs can be found inside the school, including the library ghost, the gardener, and the cats. If a character were near an npc at midnight, it would appear as if they'd disappeared into the shadows the moment the world went dark.

??? whenever you guys solve the void

✽ 01/10 marks the beginning of the final semester, and when npc students and faculty will return to school. Of the ~260 npc students enrolled at the start of December, only ~40 npc students return to school, with the other three quarters having their names crossed off the class roster in the locker area. In light of the rapidly shrinking student body, homerooms will be consolidated by year, creating a single class for each of the first, second, and third years.
✽ The countdown in front of the bulletin board has reached zero, and the glass tube appears to have shattered and bled out onto the floor, to nobody's surprise. The mess will be cleaned up by the end of the week, and in its place is a notice for the school trip taking place next month. Please see the toplevel below for more details.
✽ The science lab is now open. Add will probably elbow people out of the way getting here, but he gets dibs on the anatomical model: it is warm to the touch, and rather than being made of plastic, the skin, muscle, bones, other organs feel very much real. He thinks they might be. The rest of the room is set up like a typical research lab, with all the basic chemicals and equipment: a refrigerator, liquid nitrogen storage tank, sonicator, incubator, autoclave, laminar flow cabinet, mass spectrometer, and a high performance liquid chromatography system.
✽ It snows on and off and the sky remains overcast with no sign of the sun all month.

OOC

✽ Please give the temporary locations page a thorough read! The most noticeable changes aside from the usual void school appearance is the scattered void, lack of electricity in both the school and the dorm, and the ability to walk off campus. The setting will remain as is until the characters figure out how to revert the change, or on 01/10, whichever comes first.
✽ PDAs will be inoperable until fixed. Tech-savvy characters may realize that the PDAs are powered through inductive charging, and the first step to getting them (also electrical appliances and hot water) to work again is to locate the generator.
✽ All npcs will be ICly unavailable until we unvoid the school.

QUESTIONS

[adsum]

[mermaidcursed]

during void school, will nene's phone work? i need to clarify because my head's kinda fuzzy right now ;w;

[adsum]

It'll work until the phone battery is depleted (however long that takes depending on good her phone is and how it does in the cold and how much she uses it for, etc) unless she gets an external battery somewhere or can charge it by means

[sisters]

Hi!! Will blue flame lighters still light or are they included in snuffed out flames

[subtract]

very important question: do other electronics besides PDAs/things that plug in work while in void school? like regained items that run off of a battery or, say, someone's magical life force? perhaps a pair of scifi drones that are telepathically linked to a particular character.......

ALSO AN ARGUABLY MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION but regarding the school trip, is it only one location/time that everyone gets to go to? or will there be room for multiple trips, potentially? it sounds to me like there's only going to be one submission chosen but idk it doesn't outright say unless i missed it.

[silentabyss]

when within the void proper during nighttime, is the silence thing still enforced? or can people talk/make noise freely? i do not remember the lore, thank you ori

[notsosou]

U know I'm going to ask what the two yttd portraits are doing, but also do magical sources of light (like tiny flame spells) also get snuffed out on use?

[commences]

raises hand, does komaeda's nasod arm that makes fire also get snuffed out?

if (1) the monokuma bots are around, are we able to use them as a source of electricity, also (2) add's little electrical pet that shoots electricity can we use him for our evil deeds to charge things...

ANOTHER THING

[mermaidcursed]

it's that time again, does nene's spirit sight see anything new in void school?

[silentabyss]

ohfuk i have another question, so

re: the forest with the river

can you just walk infinitely ("infinitely") in a direction and just never leave the... purgatory ig? or is there like... you get to a certain point and there's an invisible wall? does the river loop around?

[dereban]

re: school trip will everyone icly have to go, if someone tries to ask about not going will they get any responses?

[commences]

Just wondering if the PDAs stay warm after they fry, like is it continuous? Does it vary? Would their condition by chance change at all depending on circumstances?

"What are you trying to say,"

Can I play hotter or colder in search of the generators with them?

Re: QUESTIONS

[mermaidcursed]

i just got home so i dont wanna switch accounts, will sidney's compass still point to the clocktower here? even if he goes into the woods?

[decrypter]

ok the local human sonar is gonna go around the grounds these days and start smacking the ground trying to see if we have new threats to be worried about, is that there or is it gone with the npcs

[sisters]

can school staff who aren't students or faculty come on the trip asking for a friend

[dereban]

i hate that i'm asking it so i'm doing it anyway.

re: the whispers in the auditorium, if someone were to like, pay close attention to the whispers, is it possible to discern any particular voices from them? like do they sound familiar in any way or not?

[starrypoint]

hey ori so like would people who are getting their two-week tallies get them during void week if it was within our currently canonical at least five days i think it is just asking for a friend

Re: QUESTIONS

[subtract]

POST-EVENT QUESTIONS now that we're officially out of the funky alternate voidschool

- if Add were to immediately go back to the void by spilling some blood again (clearly this is a good idea), does it look any different? has it receded any from that murder(s) Childe did in there, or do those not count because we wasted them on a different void
- what does the science lab look like in voidschool classic?
- Add is going to steal the anatomical model. this is not a question, he is doing it, the model is gone now its his he won't give it back
- does the anatomical model still telepathically laugh at him... need to know if he's seriously gonna try and interrogate it like an insane person or not

[commences]

POST VOID QS

- what does the clock tower look like now, is there any traces left since that's where he last saw rokkun?
- if he looks in the dead drop spot, is there anything left in that space or is it empty?

[dereban]

POST-VOIDENING.........

- i assume tech works again, so would pdas be working? if so, are there any dates/times that can be found on them?
- and if not the above, would dates/times show on phones or any other tech?
- also asking here too but any changes re: publication dates on library stuff or is it just Back To Normal
- alternatively alternatively are there any dates written in the classrooms, did someone leave a date written the school chalkboard...

[silentabyss]

hi i'm back :) post-voidening is the infinite forest still infinite, do i still get trees and riverwater with river ice

[samuraiwomen]

when the school is Unvoided, if Sara replies to any of last nights pda messages that are dated Jan 7th 2000, is the new message dated to 1999?

[decrypter]

when we're unvoided do we go back to silence at midnight?

[dereban]

Guess I'm asking this. For the PDAs that are broken, when fixed is there anything immediately off about them when turning them on? She also has her computer so she would 100% connect her laptop to the PDAs as necessary to check for any malware since that tends to be a Big Cause For Overheating.

[dereban]

i hate that i'm asking this but asking this for science but what basic chemicals do we have or am i gonna have to investigate to find that out.
