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.

Indeed. That should be the first priority! Of course, I'm not sure how to find either right now. So I suppose that I will keep checking each area until I come across one or the other! In these circumstances, any discovery could prove to be quite fruitful.

I do not mind in the slightest. Please, feel free to join me! After all, effectiveness and safety increase with numbers!
no subject
[Not that she trusts anyone to watch her back, but hey, the reverse may not be the same.]
Was there anything particular found in the areas you already checked...?
no subject
[He innocently agrees with her and pauses thoughtfully.]
Hm, I am not sure if there was much of note that is already known. Some rooms consumed by the void, others strangely barren... The nurse's office looked like it had been raided by someone, unfortunately. On the plus side, the janitor's closet appeared to be freshly stocked, which will be quite useful for keeping our spaces tidy!
no subject
[That's certainly a thought. There's a lot that she still doesn't know, a gap from her knowledge as someone who hasn't been into the void school until now.]
Was it just like - a mess? Or was there anything specific taken out? But the janitor's closet, huh. I guess there might be some useful things in there.
no subject
[He shakes his head. That won't be good if there's an emergency while they're stuck here.]
Yes, the janitor's closet seems much more useful for the time being. We might not be able to help with injuries, but we can keep things clean!
no subject
[There's a thoughtful hum as she places a hand under her chin.]
Maybe once we get out of here, I'll see if asking about it. Well, cleanliness isn't too much of an important thing, but it can probably used for other things, too. But anyway--onwards and upwards!
no subject
I would argue that importance of cleanliness, but you are right! Let us proceed!
[With that, he heads over to take the stairs up!]
no subject
Hey, I'm not saying cleanliness is unimportant. But it just isn't useful for investigative purposes at the moment.
[She follows him from behind, eyeing everything carefully--it's clear that she's making sure that she doesn't step on anything, given the state of the school.]
no subject
[A firm nod.]
A fair point. I accept that! For now, we are focused on observing and investigating. Cleaning could come at a later time!
[It seems like smooth sailing so far, as they head up to the left wing of the third floor! Ishimaru marches forth with intent, while being observant of their surroundings.]
no subject
no subject
I'm glad that you agree! [And he starts to look around this ring.]
It looks like the rooms are mostly intact... ah, except for that! [He quickly notices the trail of void stretching across the classrooms.]
no subject
Oh. What the fuck.
[She shouldn't be shocked, she really shouldn't, but the fact that the void basically expanded like that is definitely a sign of concern.]
no subject
[He frets as he looks ahead. It's very strange compared to the type of void he's used to seeing! He starts to carefully step forward.]
W-we must make sure to exercise utmost caution, Inaba-kun!
no subject
no subject
[A firm nod. And he keeps on cautiously trying to walk around the void-y parts.]
Whatever happens, I am sure that it will not be pleasant. Nothing about that void seems to be! Let's carefully check this classrooms, as if our very lives are on the line.
