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
Yes, I do... What about it?
[He does remember the state that the cooking room was in, right?]
no subject
( remember the potato that they found? it all starts with that. she doesn't have to take komaeda seriously, but half of it is important enough that he hopes she can catch on. )
no subject
[Satou is torn. On one hand, maybe her recent adventures into meal prep have actually been successful! Komaeda might actually be enjoying her cooking!
But she's also been told on numerous occasions that she's a kitchen menace.]
Um... What do we have to make a cake with? I don't think we can decorate one with potato pieces...
no subject
( he knows this for a fact, someone of the void variant wouldn't care about taste as long as it's edible.
komaeda can bake, but someone with more expertise would do better in that field, hence why he's sought out satou of all people. )
Ah, have you met him? He's about 2'3", anger issues, sulks if he doesn't get his way.
no subject
No, I haven't. 2'3" though... Are there children here other than Rika-chan?
no subject
think smart, not hard. )
Yep, so will you give a child a wonderful cake. We can search for ingredients.
( that's not all he'll do though, one hand raises to his chin to stroke idly. )
I can get the water...
no subject
Uh um. Sure? I can try. But we're going to need more than water and a potato to make a cake. I don't think the cooking room can be accessed either.
no subject
( is he teasing? does he not know? actually, he's leaving this up to her to see what she can do in a pinch, and if not that, will she just pull her hair and stress out. )
You need flour, butter, sugar... just in case you didn't know!
no subject
She gently slaps one cheek and exhales... Then corrects her panicked frown into a big grin.]
Mm, that would certainly be the easiest combination! But what matters for a birthday cake is the feeling, right?
[So she'd better start this quest with a smile! A birthday cake baked from stress won't taste good, no matter how good the ingredients.]
Even if I had an oven, we have no power. Do you have any matches, Komaeda-san?
no subject
( for someone who is always cold, thay might be the more difficult part about making this cake. what if he makes it too hot? well, luckily for them add seems like the type to eat a bomb. )
You said the feeling, ah... at Hinata-kun's birthday, all he did was cry, but if you put too much feeling, Add-kun will get embarrassed.
( that's just as worse, then he'll make himself out to be a villain which at the moment he's not, he's the birthday boy. )
I wonder if the Luzon's are still here, did they lay any eggs, I wonder...
no subject
[She assumes this Hinata was happy. Satou likes to assume happy things.]
We can figure out heat when we get there. Having fire is the important part. As for eggs, there are things we could substitute-
Wait, what's Luzon?
no subject
( he wouldn't say he cried from happiness, he wouldn't say he cries in general. he doesn't have the capacity, and so he looks at satou confused from the question. )
Anyway, Bleeding-Heart Doves, they're dark blue, white, and with blood on their chest. They're constantly bleeding, but it never makes a mess.
( the cuter, better name than luzons, but it's shorter and not a mouthful. )
You could have met them...
no subject
[She's not going to have explain 'crying from happiness' to him, is she? Satou nearly pushes for a proper answer, but the explanation of the doves is too striking to ignore.]
I don't think I've seen anything like that here... Are you sure they're literally bleeding and not red-chested birds?
[And is he suggesting that they take the eggs of these birds? It should work for baking, right?]
no subject
( that means he has no faith in her, unfortunately. red-chested doesn't sound as cute as bleeding-hearts, and it explains more to their shy nature than anything. then again, giving the situation they're in, maybe she will need clarification. he finds what he said moments ago to be enough. )
That's if they're here... last time they were on the roof of the school during the party, ah, it's such a shame. You should have came.
( he had put posters up, but not everyone wants to read signs and visit a place with people they aren't familiar with. )
You could have met them, they would have liked you, I'm very sure.
no subject
[The words slip out in a shy mumble. Satou would have liked to go, but she missed the signs. Even then, she tends to other herself. No one likes the Witch of Sins. She can't have positive attention.
But yes. She worries that these birds are literally bleeding.]
And I'm not tricked easily. Usually. But magic is real where I'm from, so I can't just doubt something because I don't immediately know what it is...
no subject
( he asked this before.... so she doesn't know what they are... that's a little worrisome, so he cups his hands together to help. she must be... having difficulties adjusting to a normal life. )
They can fit in the palm of your hand, their breast plumage is red. That's why they're called what they are.
( oh, maybe. )
They're not magic, they're just... birds... you have those right?
no subject
[Quite the opposite.
But she is imagining birds that literally bleed all day.
When he corrects the description, she sighs. Partially relieved, partially annoyed.]
... You meant the feathers? I thought you were saying the birds were bleeding! We have birds back home, yeah.
no subject
( please satou no... they don't bleed all day, well they do, but no real blood! )
The breast feathers, not all of them. They are, or they wouldn't be bleeding hearts! Hm... When we return to the old school, why don't I introduce you to them?
( with a hum, he seems to like his own idea. ) Riokun can come with us.
