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
[He's frustrated, and that's obvious. He's trying so hard not to give into his typical gloom and doom negativity but right now he just physically cannot do this.]
Do you want to check the roof with me? I want to see the extent of the devastation for myself.
[His wings flex. He can fly! That's all he's good for right now.]
no subject
no subject
Mm... [This is the sound of an unhappy demon.] ...it looks like it did the day we were in the rooftop void last.
[Great awesome thanks for that, Yogen void, really cool of you.]
I just hope this isn't a permanent state...
no subject
we'll get through this. i'm not spending the rest of my stupid lousy afterlife in an even stupider, lousier hell void.
( and that's the that on that! )
no subject
Well, the hope is that you'll come spend your afterlife in the Devildom with my brothers and I, but I digress.
[Lucifer will fight God to get Nene to become a demon because a) demons are objectively cooler and b) live your life a little girl Devildom parties are fucking awesome. He supposes if she's an angel he'll just demand her for the exchange program every year.
Somewhere Future Lucifer is fighting with Simeon on who gets to take Nene to lunch.]Still, this is concerning. Depending on how long we stay here, we will need to ration our remaining supplies, and this certainly puts a dent in what we have.
no subject
how can i refuse such an invitation?
( but... hrrmrmrmmmm... )
if this does end up affecting the early spring harvest im gonna break something. but right now, we just have to hope that the seeds are going to be fine. but with our current supplies, i'm not sure... was the stuff in the dorm kitchen safe?
no subject
As far as I've found out, the only food we have is within the dormitory kitchen proper, since the home ec kitchen has melted away into nothingness. The vending machines don't appear to be stocked with food, but there's fresh water.
[Lucifer fully intends to punch out the glass later, if no one else beats him to it anyway. It's something to take his anger out on.]
no subject
still, that's troubling... there was enough for a while, but would it be enough? rations and small but hearty, filling meals would be the best- stews and curries, and rice. so much rice. )
that combined with the fact that the power is out is really scary but ive cooked over a campfire before and i can do it again!
( determined nene... determinene )
no subject
[Stated affectionately because he misses those idiots but also if Mammon were here this purgatory would've died to his idiocy by now.]
Just don't do it inside. There's plenty of wood to burn, too, by the looks of it.
[Gestures to the forest.]
no subject
( oh... that's right. she missed this year's camp- in one timeline, her efforts to study pay off. but that's not the one that lead to yogen. no, she got sick the first time around that time... and then things got worse. but lucifer doesn't need to know that, lest he have even more reason to worry when she inevitably gets sick from investigating the pool. oh--
nene tugs at his sleeve a little and points. it looks like his boyfriend is going out into the woods with an axe. )
no subject
And it looks like her not-boyfriend is following, with a Clamor.]
Sidney and I are always on the same page. [Stop, stop being gay for two seconds — Nene will probably notice Lucifer's wings fluttering. Speaking of firewood for cooking...] I have to wonder if Clamor is a good chopping implement, or if the little moon kid is just bringing him along in case there's something out there.
[Like that fucking wolf... hey, that thing has been at large since August and they haven't seen it. If it's in the woods, Lucifer wants a bite. Nene doesn't need to hear that, though.]
no subject
if i were in clamor-san's place, i think i'd like to just come along so i don't feel alone truthfully. but i'm glad they're all together, that'll make things feel safer
( this is just how families bond sometimes, a girl and her not-boyfriend hanging out with their dads, who are dating. and also dealing with hellvoid. )
no subject
[He trusts both Sidney and Clamor to keep out of trouble, but he's also seen Clamor crash a car into a light pole before, and Sidney is also missing one (1) arm which makes things a little tough... and he's pretty sure the little boy with them is about as impulsive as Satan is, so.]
I suppose we'll find out, however. Sidney has the Ring of Light, so if he gets in trouble, I trust he'll summon me to his side. If I disappear, that's why.
[They'd been practicing for so long, he's sure Sidney has that down. That, and probably some minor hexes.]
Let's just hope it doesn't come to that.
no subject
it won't! there's never been anything in the void before!
( that wasn't... already there, that is. but still. )
no subject
Ah, is that correct? That's good, then.
[Just reaches up and pats her head.]
As for finding food, however, that doesn't bode well. It would be easier if there were animals to hunt or berries to forage, though I doubt anything in this place is safe for consumption anyhow.
no subject
hearty meals, and everyone should remember to eat slowly so they have time to fill up. that should help. i don't trust anything that would be in this place though.
no subject
If only I knew a spell to conjure food...
[He thinks the only person that would know that is Solomon, and...
...
Yeah, they're better off starving. Solomon's cooking has caused problems in the past. And probably now while he's gone.]
Ah, speaking of food, my brother Beel would have gone on a rampage by now. It's for the best that he isn't here.
[They would have zero rations and the school would be in pieces.]
no subject
would that be real food or just magic constructs though?
( ... oh but, the idea of lucifer's brother (bad because that's someone's loved one also being dead), rampaging (bad) and breaking things... nooot good. ... she's glad there's so few people here, honestly. )
