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.

no subject
- are all the ads written by the same person? (either it's listed as being done by the same person or all the handwriting is the same)
- you mentioned dates and the fact that they don't have the year, but do they have the month and day?
- are there any specifics about the auction that can be gleaned from the ad
- also is there a description re: the lost sword at all (what it looks like, any potential strange abilities, etc)
- any names that show up on these ads, either familiar or unfamiliar
- are there any marks in the blood (i.e: footprints) besides like, well, these two potentially stepping on it or is it just one huge pool? also is the blood just consolidated here or has it trailed off into other locations?
no subject
- the months and days are sort of scattered across the year, like they've just been tacked up onto the board over other sheets of paper instead of removing old notices
- the auction is the beginning of the school charity auction, and mentions a featured item of a gently used Toyota Corolla
- there's a hand drawn picture of the sword but it doesn't look anything special nor are any strange abilities mentioned; there's a 100,000 won reward for returning it
- there are some names but generic forgettable names, like Yamada and Sora and Rokuro
- it's one huge pool with no marks within or leading away to other places
no subject
- looks up why am I always haunted by Toyota Corolla. are there any other auction items of note mentioned besides it?
- do we have a name for the person looking for the sword?
- """forgettable""" Hinata will definitely zoom in on any mentions of Rokuro, what have we got on him
- no marks within and none leading away... does there happen to be anything if they look up? if Hinata... very reluctantly and grossed out-ly... reaches out to touch the blood, is there anything that he'd notice aside from the spongy feeling of the floor?
no subject
- the sword owner is A.Nitta from 2-A, and isn't a name any of them would recall from the current year's roster
- there's several recruitment flyers for the soccer club dated across scattered years, apparently he's always had trouble keeping enough players alive; one piece of paper stating that he's running for student council and— the paper is torn off there; and one looks like a sign-up list of some sort but for what it can't be made out and it doesn't matter because Rokkun's name had been crossed out
- there's nothing above and nothing that suggests a source; the best he can tell, it's as if the countdown container of blood had poured onto the flood but the container itself did not come with, presumably because it did not exist as part of the school at this point in time. The blood is... gross. it feels like blood
