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.

[ Miyuki... has questions about how this sun catcher works, but he realizes that at this point, It's Yogen. Little things like this aren't part of the mystery at hand. ]

That works for me. Much appreciated.

Seriously, what the hell is going on around here? The school feels even creepier than normal like this.

[It's magic, probably.

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!

Not at all. I'm trying to remember if I had around the time we had arrived here, but I don't think I have.

[ 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.
moraloutrage: (if I must)

[personal profile] moraloutrage 2022-01-14 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
I see. Well, I can fill you in on anything you need to know. Breaking mirrors is how we would normally return, but now that does nothing but create an unnecessary mess...

[He frowns and nods along as he follows him.]

Many unusual or unsettling things have become far too commonplace in our lives here. I suppose that I am glad to be rid of the shadow students, however. They were known for trying to whisk away anyone who was badly wounded.

[ this is fine THIS IS FINE. ]

By... any chance, is it possible to grab hold of a wounded student before they got there?

[ Just in case! ]
moraloutrage: (I got this)

[personal profile] moraloutrage 2022-01-21 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, it is possible. It is being present when blood falls that causes one to be transported to this version of the school. Of course, whether you grab the student or not, you will be transported with them if blood hits the floor in your presence. But after they get here, it is still quite possible to prevent shadow students from carrying the wounded student to the void. I can think of one time when it happened, when a number of students managed to rescue one Nao Sato-kun.
