JANUARY EVENT LOG
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.

- they'll change the times on the north and east clock faces, because you can change the times by twisting the metal beam connected to the respective faces it just takes manpower provided by local jock subaru who's going to have such tired arms by the end of this -- the times will be north 1 east 2 south 3 west 4 after the change
- check for generator, like any signs of it or a way the clock is maybe powered by it
- also is there any removeable paneling above the mechanism just curious
- komaeda wanders off to check the dead drop spot for anything
no subject
There is no generator up in the clock tower. It looks to be run by some sort of weight mechanism, so it can keep keeping time while the electricity is out.
Re. removeable paneling, do you mean the ceiling to get up onto the clocktower roof, or?
Komaeda pulls at the loose floorboard and finds that it isn't loose. When he keeps trying and gives up and has to ask Subaru for help, Subaru will be able to pull the floorboard up enough that it snaps and they find that there is nothing underneath, as if the spot had been filled in— or, more likely, hadn't been carved out yet.
no subject
oh that is so smart. okay noted on the weights!!!
YES that's what i mean thank you for understanding
oh my god we're the drop dead spot. or what will be. what do they need to carve it out, spoons saws or jackhammers idk what goes on under these floorboards....... also they're gonna carve (looks at nms) a pumpkin into it they'll be back to add more to this later too this is the long con
no subject
there is no removable paneling on the ceiling but they can take a hammer or something and punch a hole through the roof if they want, it'll let the cold air in and there's nothing special that happens outside of giving them a nice view on top
idk what's typically under floorboards, rock presumably, it'll take some effort but with a metal spoon they can carve a pumpkin into it
no subject
that's nice, actually, a little view. okay for the cogs, looking around, there's nothing missing in any of the four clocks, like if they compare them to the others aside from the different time, the insides are the same? or there's nothing caught in the cogs either, like a paper, or a key, or something risky since they can crush their hands if they aren't careful?
yeah! they're going to make the literal dead drop spot here, and probably leave a pumpkin, and some letters as they think of them.
no subject
no subject
so how will they know a day has passed so they can change the clocks again.... they have more numbers to try. if we have to guess then that is just how it is
no subject
what are they changing it to the second day?
no subject
12 north 3 east 4 south 5 west, so a wider shift this time. additionally, they'll be leaving the first number combination (1n 2e 3s 4w) on a piece of paper and putting the broken off floorboard back where it was. i forgot to specify that they did this the first time but i mean, who wants to leave broken wood lying around. they'll give it the same span of time and have a third one after another 24hr
no subject
Subaru and Komaeda change the time and sometime during the second day auditorium void investigators will have noticed that the void has shrunk back a little at the auditorium door
no subject
North: 12
East: 3
those stay the same!
South: 6
West: 9
south and west get changed into these numbers.
what's the verdict?
no subject
Nothing happens on day 3!
no subject
they'll turn them all to 12 since it was supposed to be midnight anyway
