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.

Character(s): Nene Yashiro, Sportacus
Location: Pool Building
Action: With great reluctance, Nene is going to transform and go into the pool to see what's different or not, with Sportacus accompanying to help her out and and also he's going to be carrying a bowl of clean water because there's no way this won't be super gross and Nene will want to be cleaned immediately. So... what's in the pool? How far does it go down, if it's unusually deep? And what other differences can Nene, who's familiar with both versions of the pool, see?

[adsum]

It's super super gross and she can't really see, so much as everything looks green and murky and slimy, it'll probably make her feel nauseous staying in here for too long
She swims swims swims and eventually does hit a bottom! it feels deeper than the deep end would by in a typical swimming pool, but there does seem to be a bottom all the way across and if Sportacus can swim he could probably dive down far enough to touch the bottom too

At the very bottom they can find a carpet of very tiny thin wiggly red worms

[subtract]

Add is being summoned to help so he is here now. Dynamo is waterproof and can navigate via motion/heat/electrical sensors, this is probably enough to get a better idea of what the pool "looks" like short of dragging Helena over to sonar it. Anything else of note that they can detect within the pool? Or is it just a regular pool with a deep end full of worm?

They're also gonna try and scoop up some worm samples, Dynamo can probably finagle a cup on their own... what kind of worms... how big... can we deploy a measuring stick or rod or w/e to try and touch the bottom of the Worm Layer, how deep do these worms go? Is there a bottom beneath the worm layer?

[adsum]

It's a regular pool with a deep end full of worms, about an inch deep, all dead. So, okay, I was googling how to empty an indoor pool bc it wouldn't be like a bathtub where you just pull a plug and it all drains, you need to pump the water out so you can clean it, and a lot of the scum you have to clean is algae and there's these neat little worms called bloodworms you find in pools sometimes that feed off the algae. Dynamo scoops up a cup full of bloodworms.

[mermaidcursed]

god nene's going to get sick again isn't she

[mermaidcursed]

oh hey since nene's already kicking her health in the shins more, is there anything in the bathrooms or lockers before she leaves and takes like 15 more baths?

[adsum]

There's normal bathroom things in the bathrooms; most of the stalls are out of toilet paper
All lockers are completely empty
