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.

[taketori]

[ Why, indeed. It certainly bugs him, looking at somebody who's run themselves so into the ground that they can't stand. But with everything going on right now, there being a slight element of madness happening again, he felt it was good to clear the air of this now. ]

Because it's rare that I don't see you so guarded. You have good reason to be, all things considered.

I'm asking, because we need to get you some place where you can rest up, at least for a little while. But I know that that'll be impossible if you don't trust at least one of us to keep you safe.

[ Another beat, before-- ] If you don't trust me, that's fine. But I won't stand for leaving you here by yourself.

[dereban]

["Good reason to be," he says. A part of her wants to sigh a bit of relief--but she knows she really shouldn't, not when she knows that being honest here will be laying her heart bare...

...

She wanted to change, back then.

And she did, hadn't she? Before-]

I don't.

[She doesn't say anything else. No excuses, nothing. She's so tired...]

[taketori]

[ In any other scenario, he'd probably be a bit offended, or try to scroll back through his own memories to determine why. Miyuki's sure that she has personal reasons for it, but is more confident than anything that it's just a defense mechanism brought on by Yogen itself.

And so, he simply nods, not standing just yet. ]

Then, we'll leave it there.

[ No reason to push the point. He at least offers up his arm, bent a bit. ]

Are you able to stand? You can use my arm for leverage if you need to.

[dereban]

[She's... shocked, just a little bit? Surprised, even.]

I should be able to on my own -

[She puts her hand on the floor to steady herself and get back onto her feet. She's a bit wobbly, but she manages.]

Oof. There we go.

[taketori]

[ Well, that solves that. Bringing his arm back, he stands as well, brushing dirt off of his knees. ]

Alright. Now then.

[ Despite everything going on (which, may or may not have happened yet) there really isn't much of a choice in what the next steps should be here. ]

I think it's fine if you miss out on the rest of the day to regain your strength. If there's any trouble, I'll be sure to take care of it.

[ Y'know, since the student council's doing pretty well right now :) ]

[dereban]

There's still classes today, you know. I can't just skip out.

[She huffs a little bit but let's say for timeline's sake that this is before student council shenanigans.]

If there's any trouble and you need me... send a message through the PDAs in any format. I'll probably head on over to the nurse's office.

[taketori]

[ So she would've been okay with the nurse's office after all. Well... he'll file this under being a learned experience. ]

Honestly, your health is more important than your studies. If you need to take the time, then take it.

[dereban]

It's not like I really care about my studies since I've already graduated from high school. But having low grades is kind of a pain in the ass.

[Not that she has low grades, but missing a class which might lead to that can be...]

[taketori]

[ With a sigh, he nods his head. ]

I get it. Actually, when it comes down to it, with how much has changed between the exams and now, keeping your grades up is for the best. Still, it shouldn't be too difficult to catch up.

[dereban]

ou never know when someone might once again get killed for having low grades. Better safe than sorry. I honestly don't like this school's corrupt system, but there's nothing I can do about it right now.

[Emphasis on 'right now'.]

I don't think it'd be too difficult either, but hell if I know how 'lenient' the teachers are. Well, I already know how to game any exams that come my way, and most of the curriculum is stuff I already know.

[taketori]

Neither do I. I don't know how much time I'd have to change things, but if I could do it before the end of the year... well, I'm going to take that chance.

So right now, don't worry about that system. If you need to catch up, one of us can help.

[dereban]

Well, there isn't that much time left.

[It's January already, so - three months.]

Kind of hard not to worry about it, though.
