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.

Location: Music Room
Action: Investigating! Specifically, we're trying to see if we can break into the piano bench now, and see what's inside. ... Nene's also here to make sure Kaede doesn't just devote ten days to Piano Care.

no subject
if there's any screws, nene will first try to unscrew it. the hammer would be next, turning it onto its more vulnerable side (where the legs are) and making a hole with the backside of the hammer to try and work something out that way... last resort is the handsaw and i mean, it's a handsaw kaede will absolutely saw part of the end away to slide out what's within
but do let us know if any of these can't be found in this version of the workshop!!!

It's a photo album
If they flip thought the photo album, they'll find that most of the photos are old and faded with yellowing edges, none of them dated but seem to chronical several school years. There's group shots of classmates standing in front of the front gate or sitting under the wisteria tree or hiking through the forest, there's photos of school plays and class projects and student artists standing proudly beside paintings and sculptures, many many photos of both the white cat and the black one, both on their own and with others: the fluffy white cat curled up on people's laps or flopped over on its back receiving tummy rubs, the black cat perched on people's shoulders or standing on desks to rub against their faces. They see cultural festivals and music performances (with a piano and trombone and violin and drums and harps and saxophones and flutes) and exchange trips to different parts of the world and a blurry photo of what might be Rokuro in the background in the middle of a soccer match but he has a wide grin on his face and looks too small and blurry and generic npc student to tell for sure. So so so many photos of students at Tokyo Disney.
None of the faces are any they've seen in this school year, and the photo album is only halfway filled. Where the photos stop, there's a sheet of paper tucked into the pocket that they can unfold and read, written in neat printing: "I don't want to forget"
no subject
Is there anything else within the bench?
no subject
There's nothing else inside the bench
no subject
okay!!! they'll keep the photo album, because she thinks that the well-travelled might know a place or two and... generally this seems very sentimental; kaede understands and empathizes with the message left behind, she won't forget them even if they might've forgotten, but onto another point of interest to her:
the piano. she's going to open it up so she can start getting it all nice and fixed up, what's the inside look like... is there anything on the strings, if these are snapped she's going to bemoan the lack of piano wire in this school
no subject
no subject
the wires are fine!!! the piano can be saved!!!! all it needs is a little love!!!!
anyway she'll also check the underside of the piano for anything interesting, but besides that--
1. can the cabinets be moved? if so, is there anything behind it?
2. if there's any posters or pictures or anything, anything behind those?
3. vents... anything in the vents? please don't say rats. they're checking this room from top to bottom if there's nothing else of note that's perfectly fine
no subject
There aren't any posters or pictures, it's a very empty boring room
There are... rat droppings inside the vents but no actual rats. There seem to be no living things at all in this school besides the characters
no subject
okay so nene and kaede will absolutely see about that squeaky floorboard, can it be removed normally or will they be able to take the rusty saw to it
no subject
no subject
no subject
She pulls her leg out and feels around inside the hole and ew, rat droppings
There is no gun inside, because unfortunately the hole comes before the gun
no subject
black kitty cat you owe her one in the future okay remember this and sit with her in the music room when she plays piano
no subject
I hope black kitty makes some friends, the only person that's even marginally tolerable is Rin and that's barely
