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.

[adsum]

They'll walk and walk and walk and walk, voices in the far distance and inside their heads whispering encouragements, and eventually they notice the feeling of calm and peace, as if they were taking a stroll through sunny park on a warm spring day after rainfall, it feels comfortable and a little bit drowsy.

How far are they walking, because like the forest, this just goes on forever except here they're being lulled to sleep

[subtract]

Add walks ??? whatever the maximum distance is before Komaeda comes crashing down from above and lands directly in his arms and ruins his comfortable drowsy feeling. He will begrudgingly turn around to carry Komaeda back while Childe continues on.

and then he'll realize oh thats kinda sus maybe they shouldn't be doing that

AS PER SYN Childe will keep walking for Awhile until the sleepiness becomes more obvious, then turn back. Add will wait all patient-like for Childe to come back on his own, and Childe will make it to the perimeter of the voiditorium right before he would've taken a void nap, but we are here to do Science so he will chill at the perimeter anyway in case he falls asleep and something weird happens. Add will drag him back onto solid ground with gravity powers if shit gets too weird tho we aint losing the whale today

[adsum]

There is no maximum distance so he gets to walk until where the end of the building should have been when Komaeda falls and interrupts his daydream
After abandoning Childe and subsequently returning to his side to do Science together, they'll find that they start to feel sleepy after a certain point away from the door and sleepier the further they go, but also if they stay before that threshold and just stand there for a length of time. eg if you walk too far or stay too long, you're going to be prone to falling unconscious

hmmmmmm very sketch

ok so Childe is taking a nap riiiiight inside the edge of the void against all common sense, Add+Komaeda are still here to drag him back out as backup. if nothing happens they'll drag him out after a few minutes and make sure he isn't dead. DOES anything happen... are the spooky void voices doing something nefarious or just trying to give ppl good naps

[adsum]

lmfao y'all are so paranoid
it'll be somewhat difficult to wake him up, like he'd gone without sleep for several days and needed to crash for 48 hours, but he'll wake up and the spooky void voices are just voices encouraging people to get some sleep, maybe forever,
