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
( the risk doesn't disappear just because you've grown confident, but he's sure he doesn't need to tell her that. it's a lesson she's probably scared into herself pretty effectively just now, so as long as she doesn't do it again... he'll refrain from being too hard on her for now. if there's a sharp edge to his tone, she can rest assured it's based in worry rather than irritation, at least.
in the meantime, amami will scoot in away from the edge himself, giving it a moment before he lays back against the floor with a heavy exhale. jeez, his heart's still racing. he probably needs a moment here just as much as she does. )
no subject
this would've just been dumb.
... ... ...
the unusual quiet would be more suffering for her pianist ears, but she's gotten used to it in a way. still--]
So, besides me, have you found anything interesting?
no subject
Besides you? ( hmm... )
Not really. A-Yao and I checked out the library, and there was a broken shrine there, so I thought I'd put that back together. Komaeda-kun and Ranger-kun seemed pretty interested in the science lab, so I might check that out a little more too.
( just so it doesn't come as quite such a surprise when she hears he jumped into the void on purpose in there. )
no subject
It's really different than how our others classmates were, huh? They've... really got a system going on.
[no one needs to take their hand and lead them along, or inspire them with heartfelt words... they all just split up and. did it. started looking places, while kaede didn't even know where to begin until she asked nene to come with her to the music room. but she'll try to not let that get through in her tone, though she's still looking in disappointment at the void.]
I guess that's one pro of spending so much time together here.
no subject
( kind of idealistic, he thinks, to see it that way. though he does glance back over to her as he elaborates a bit, explaining what he means. )
Everyone kind of goes off and does their own thing — there's no person who's able to pull everyone together the way you did for us, Akamatsu-san. So information ends up scattered, and having such a big group doesn't help.
( herding cats and all that. at the end of the day, everyone takes their own action on things because it's the only way they can guarantee they'll learn whatever there is to learn in situations like this. )
no subject
[but the managed. and they even worked together long enough to solve amami's death -- or at least, they thought they did... but the end result of who died in that doesn't matter to her, it was proving to monokuma and the kubs that they wouldn't let the truth go, and they'd always be able to work towards to it.
she's sure it'll be the same here.]
But thanks, Amami-kun. I don't think they'll listen to a new face like me -- there's plenty of people who've been here a lot longer, I'm sure -- but I'll do what I can to help out and make sure things get talked about, one way or another. I'm sure they just need a little shove, that's all.
no subject
( others can step up here and there too, he's sure. it doesn't have to be her and her alone.
that said, he'd be lying if he tried to claim he wasn't a little relieved to have someone he trusts the way he does kaede around to give them that little push when they need it. )
It's just... I'm looking forward to it. It's nice to have someone you know you can rely on. Just make sure you know that you can rely on me too, yeah?
