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.

Oh holy fuck that means it's not actually no-sound hours. Things Noah knows because he's been in the void too damn much. Still, practice is practice, and despite the dire situation he'll just sign along while speaking aloud. He's gotta figure this out.]
...Hinata's birthday party, right? I... left early because I got tired. [Crowds bad. Loud.] No one... fell into the big void, right? The one that you can't return to...?
[One thing at a time. They can figure out mirrors in a second.]
no subject
it was close but we got help. the fourth floor wing that leads to the roof is almost entirely void though, we almost got stuck up there
no subject
That's... that's good. But... the blood cylinder got broken... the one with the countdown...
[Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.]
I wanna check out the damage. Come on.
no subject
patches of void all over, be careful
( and then she pulls her coat closer around her, following after. )
no subject
[It's just like Henir. He'll be fine. He doesn't say that, of course, because she doesn't need to hear the fortieth story about how he's "endured worse". No, he'll spare her this time.
At least he, in his haste to check out the scene, doesn't swift-walk so hard that he leaves her behind. Even just poking his head outside the dorms, he can tell it looks... bad.]
You said everyone got out safely, right? [Smalltalk, while he's pushing open the front doors to see the... calamity that's happened here.]
no subject
the shopkeeper vanished when it happened
i haven't seen the others trapped in the building either yet either actually
no subject
[Noah please.
"That little kid" goaded him into dumping liquor that wasn't actually liquor into the fire about an hour or so before he left.]
How did they vanish? They're supposed to leave behind shadows.
no subject
i don't know.
no subject
[stepping into the school... he can't safely go toward the lockers since he sees the world falling away there and taking Nene across it is more risk than it's worth, so. To the other side, he supposes.]
There wasn't a shadow left? That's... not supposed to be like that. And... I don't see any shadows around here, either.
no subject
no subject
...
Noah reaches out to take her hand so that they don't get separated. If she falls somewhere, he can pull her out, and if she doesn't... they can hold hands and sort of pretend everything isn't falling to ruin.]
This isn't how the void school normally looks, either. Something is... weird. Like with the lockers... and...
[The completely missing elevator. Noah turns back to Nene and just gestures. The stairs are back, at least, but it looks like some of them are missing.]
no subject
should we try to leave? maybe its bad on the other side too
no subject
[Noah, who might as well be an actual cat, has no problems navigating the dark. It's because he kinned the moon.]
We could take this wing of stairs over here and to the second floor, [gesturing to the intact wing, you know, not the one that's just void,] or... if you wanted to, we could just go back to the dorms and I can poke around later.
no subject
( her suggestion was more to see if the damage also went towards the other side of the school- as much as she'd love to just put this all to rest, she can't. they have to know what happened. )
no subject
[And with that, he's taking Nene up the stairs, only to come across more devastation as they pop their heads onto the second floor.
Ugh.]
No, no, this isn't right either. This side of the school wasn't crumbling before.
[Noah pokes a mysteriously floating floor tile with his foot aaaand it goes careening into the void, which worsens the problem. Oops.]
