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.

[ This actually sucks. There's no way around that. Miyuki had actually started to feel somewhat good and confident about his new position, about being a part of a student council again. In a way few would probably understand, it was another way to prove himself to someone he'd more than likely never see again. So as a matter of pride, he'd take on the new challenge and have a bit of confidence that he could help out the rest of the student body.
Confidence that was quickly snuffed out along with the rest of the lights. He had no idea what the hell was going on, and had the utter misfortune to stick around in the school after hours. Wherever he started, he had stood perfectly still in hopes that it'd just be a quick power surge. With that not the case, finding some way to make it... anywhere. In the darkness, at some point, he finally bumps directly into someone. He can't help but give out a yell, before clasping his hands over his mouth. ]
Who's there?! Stay calm!
[ The second statement is thrown out haphazardly, hoping to provide some sense of comfort. He's trying. ]
b. wildcard
[ brain empty. hmu if there's anything else we can do, i figured i'd get this up so i can get the ball rolling on something! ]
a;
Hope and despair.
Jokes aside, though, Meng Yao blinks at the inquiry. His reaction is significantly more mild, to the point where there's hardly an outward reaction at all. That is because he's actually too surprised to properly react beyond probably stumbling a bit from being bumped into. But, he will do his best, and step back from the other. ]
I will do my best. I hope you will be able to do the same.
[ Temporarily, there is a sudden flicker of light in between them, called forth from a talisman, so that they may see each other at least. ]
My name is Meng Yao, though I believe this is the first time we've spoken to one another.
no subject
[ Meng Yao can probably hear a sigh of relief before he activates the light, followed by a few cursory blinks to make sure his eyesight still works as it should. With a nod of his head, he responds in kind. ]
I'm Miyuki Shirogane. It's good to meet you. Actually-- I'm trying to verify how everyone's doing. Have you come across any of the other students? Is everyone alright so far?
no subject
[ Meng Yao performs a little bow, easily seen given the light. ]
At this time, you are the first one that I have come across. But, it shouldn't take too long to verify the others' conditions, I think.
How about we search around the grounds together to ensure no one was hurt, at least?
no subject
[ Sizing him up a bit, Meng Yao seems trustworthy enough. ]
I also want to verify nobody's taking advantage of this situation. I'll try not to take up too much of your time.
no subject
Taking advantage of the situation? As in, trying to take the life of another one of us, or something to that effect?
Well, whatever the case, I don't mind assisting as long as you need. I don't have any concrete plans regarding other courses of action just yet.
[ Besides looking around, and such. ]
no subject
[There's quite a bit of emphasis on that as her voice resounds evenly; she doesn't seem to be all that bothered by the situation--at least, not externally, anyway. And thankfully in the darkness, it's harder to see just how physically poor she's been doing.
It's fine.]
no subject
[ Augh! She noticed! Miyuki clears his throat, trying to play it somewhat cool. Luckily, it'd be hard for her to see how embarrassed he is by all of this, as he tries to calm himself down. ]
I-I am calm. I was just surprised to find anyone wandering the halls this late.
no subject
Mhmm, I believe you.
[Her voice is dripping with sarcasm.]
I'm always around here at this hour.
[Unlike others, anyway.]
What are you doing here at this hour, hm~?
no subject
[ With a small pause-- ]
I suppose I don't have to ask if you're doing fine.
no subject
[It's a rhetorical question, but she asks it nevertheless, to see what kind of response he'd make.]
Suppose you don't, given my responses. Have you run into anybody else yet?
no subject
It's only natural for me to ensure the safety of the student body. Even the oddballs. Whether or not that makes me good isn't really relevant.
[ After all, a tyrant may still seek out his minions in a time of uncertainty. ]
A few so far. It doesn't look like anybody's in trouble just yet, but given the situation, I can't rule it out.
no subject
...Is it just because of student council things?
[She can't help but ask, really.]
And I suppose not, huh.

Sorry, Ishimaru. I'm fine. Has there been any luck in restoring the lights?
[ Please say yes, he can't handle much more of this. ]
no subject
[He raises his sun catcher, which glows and gives off some light.]
Please, allow me to help you navigate the area!
no subject
That works for me. Much appreciated.
Seriously, what the hell is going on around here? The school feels even creepier than normal like this.
no subject
Ishimaru stands at attention, ready to move in any indicated direction, and he meets his words with a firm nod.]
It is certainly eerie and unsettling. Not to mention ominous! ...Have you never been to this version of the school before, Shirogane-kun? Typically, we would be transported here whenever blood fell to the floor in our presence. But things seem different this time. There are no shadow students, and the typical method of returning from this version of the school does nothing... Not to mention this dreadful blackout!
no subject
[ Well, best to probably try to find the stairs. Theoretically, whatever's important would be on the first floor. ]
I. Can't decide if it's a good thing or not that there are no 'shadow students' as it were. It's bad enough that that sounds normal.

she looks up at miyuki... and then gently pats his head. even if it's a bit of a reach because she's very small. you're doing so good, dude. )
no subject
And that she's freaking out a bit, but... attempting to comfort him? Aw man, he feels kinda lame now...! ]
Th...thank you, Yashiro?
[ Damn it, stay strong! ]
You're okay too, right?
no subject
void's expanded
normal way out doesn't work
my pda melted????
no one seems hurt but that big tube in the locker area broke
no subject
For everything he's heard about the void, and of course, the fact that it's referred to as "the void" here, it's clear to him that he wants to spend as little time here as possible, and hearing that it's not easy to escape...
At least no one's hurt? But-- ]
Your... PDA melted? [ ? ? ? ] It didn't burn you, did it?
no subject
no but it was in my pocket so it might smell weird now
noah's, hajime-nii's, amami-san's, and komaeda-sans did too though. haven't seen it in anyone else's?
( a pause- )
in summer i let komaeda-san borrow my pda for a bit but i don't know what happened.
no subject
Time to pocket that for later. ]
Can it be fixed? I doubt someone on staff will just give you one.
[ Those things have to be expensive for the time period to begin with! ]
