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
A search always goes better with two pairs of eyes. And I could never regret relying on you, Meng Yao-kun! Come, let's search these halls carefully now.
no subject
As always, you honor this one with your kindness.
[ And he is always glad for it. Though, as they are walking, something comes to mind to ask of him. They have been here long enough, after all. ]
Ishimaru-xiong, out of curiosity, what do you think of the people here? That is, those who seem...native to this world.
no subject
Ah yes... the native students and staff. I suppose I would say that my feelings about them are mixed! There are some that I trust more than others. They know more about this school than we do, but sometimes they can be tricky or closed-off. In some cases, they are suffering from memory loss or have been affected by living in this school for much longer... Ultimately, I wish to get along and work together with them, but I feel that is easier said than done.
no subject
...My thoughts are more or less aligned with yours. Some truly are easier to work with than with others.
[ Kind of, if he is being generous, but one or two of them he thinks he can personally see himself still trying to talk or work with. ]
I suppose it'd be easier for us when we know the full scope of every motivation that they have—in regards to the obviously untrustworthy ones—but, I'm not surprised that isn't possible at this time.
no subject
Indeed. Of course, each of them are their own individuals. So many factors can vary greatly from person to person, including their motives and how trustworthy they are. ...I do feel that one particularly trustworthy person would be Keigo Arata-kun, who runs the school store. They have been quite dependable and helpful!
no subject
So I have heard. Others seem relatively fond of their presence as well, so even if I don't speak to them directly, it's not something I can ignore.
And though it has been awhile since I have spoken to her, I do recall that the conversation with the Nurse went well enough. Nothing seemed particularly disingenuous about her, at least.
[ And there's Rei, who is rather innocent. So he guesses that is ... two and a half. Maybe. ]
no subject
Is that so? I have not spoken personally to the Nurse myself, but I do appreciate anyone who helps to care for others in a place like this! It sounds good that she did not make a bad impression with you. [There's so many people to potentially talk to, it makes his head spin! He has met Rei too, just once, though not enough to make a concrete impression.]
On the other hand, I am never sure what to make about Maya Arisu-kun. She apparently is looking out for our best interests... but she can be quite cold and hard to read, a-and I am not always happy with her decisions. [Underneath, he's still scarred by the role she played in the election.] But as the student council president, she is in a position of influence.
no subject
That being said, Meng Yao listens closely to the entirety of what Ishimaru says. ]
I've never spoken to her. But, I can see why you are conflicted where she is concerned, given her actions, and her unfortunate attitude.
[ And indeed, Meng Yao remembers what occurred with that battle royale. He is glad that Ishimaru indeed came out of it alive, but...well. You know. Things like that are not something to be classified as small incidents. ]
As for any further thoughts on anyone else...I can't ever consider that supposed Counselor as trustworthy. Though, perhaps that's hardly surprising, considering his nature.
no subject
[He responds thoughtfully as he takes in Meng Yao's perspective.]
I have been meaning to attempt a session with the Counselor myself, one of these days, to see for myself if he is sufficient on his job. I will take your opinion into consideration of course, Meng Yao-kun! I will be sure to be cautious.
no subject
And, I do wish you luck in obtaining what you can from him.
[ Absolutely sincere. He'll make a mental note to come after the man if he tries anything funny with Ishimaru, though. ]
no subject
Indeed! I am glad that you approve of my plan of action, Meng Yao-kun. We have to keep doing what we can to establish these connections to see if we can learn anything helpful, or if any of them will end up helping us out more! It is all about working hard together to step towards a brighter future!
