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.

son....................................
... Were you going to head in there? Did you tell anyone?
( where's the girl who gets jumpy if you're gone for more than an hour hello??? )
no subject
[...pats Clamor at his hip bc Lavvy said Clamor was here for Noah's forest crimes.]
N-Nene knows too, it's just... it could be dangerous, and I didn't want her to come with me because of that. I left a note...
no subject
When it comes to things like these, you really should tell someone outright. There's no telling if the note would be misplaced before she could see it.
( it's not a scolding, just pointing out a fact. but sidney returns his attention to the woods. )
We should get supplies while we can. I'm not sure what's out there.
no subject
[Noah when he gets back: Why are you mad at me I left a note in my undecipherable handwriting?]
...Me neither. I'm good at foraging, though, so I can help look at the plants. Assuming they're normal plants, anyway. [Beat.] Let's go.
[Noah's already striding off as he says that. It's time to hang out in the woods, kids.]
no subject
( after a moment, sidney reaches over to ruffle his hair, the axe hooked via it's holder to his belt. but if he wants to go into the woods, then in they go. he understands being weak for a loved one- the only reason he can tell clamor no in the kitchen is because he really shouldn't have had his hands in the food processor, after all. )
Have you come into here before? What do you know so far?
no subject
I came in here the other day with... with Yukio, [is Noah turning red? yes] but we didn't find anything significant. No plants other than grass and pine trees, and no animals. It's cold, though. The pine trees offer protection from the elements as much as they can, and there are a couple spots that are safe to camp out in because of the lower canopies. Oh, and you can drink the water. It's fine to drink, it's just... you should boil it first, obviously.
no subject
Boiling water has become an annoying norm, I think- I'm just glad it's for normal reasons and not "it's probably still tainted with blood". Let me know if you spot any trees on the smaller side- big enough to provide good wood, but not too big to handle bringing back even in chunks. Alright?
... Sooo... ( can you hear the mischief in his voice? because it's not normally there. ) Nene and Yukio, huh?
no subject
[...
STOP. He turns redder!! This is your fault, dad!!]
Y-yeah— listen! [Listen!!] It's— it's not a big deal. I... it... [Sidney can probably hear the gears in his head turning. There's smoke coming from his ears. As it turns out verbally processing feelings is hard.] ...I already told Nene how I feel about her over Christmas, but nothing really came of it, and I'm fine with that. She has someone... he left, but she has him. I'm just glad she hasn't pushed me away in the meanwhile, and I haven't... tried talking to Yukio yet, but... I was planning on asking...
[Fidgets with his hands.]
...if he wants to... a-anyway, it's not important!
no subject
( because he's not about to judge for having multiple crushes- or more. but he also knows yashiro has... a lot of hurt she's shouldering that she doesn't know how to handle. and not a lot of people can help with that. )
Tell me about Yukio?
no subject
[Noah's useless bisexual ass like: boys taller than me are cute.]
Tall and... he's really smart. And he's nice, too, and... um.
[How does one just discuss what they like in a person like this, Noah doesn't know, he's sort of throwing compliments into the air and hoping they stick.]
...I dunno. He's kind of like me, kind of a loner and introverted, but he's sweet. He... he has a nice smile, and he's a doctor. An actual licensed one. I think he's a prodigy... he helped fix my injuries after the practicum... He has a nice face... the freckles under his eye are kinda cute... I think that's it.
[That's absolutely not "it".]
no subject
A doctor? Why, he's got such good prospects! ... No, but that is genuinely impressive, it not... a little concerning. Medical school's stressful, prodigy or not.
( still, noah sounds... a little nervous, but fond. it's cute. he's happy for him. once they get in far enough in, sidney surveys the trees around. big... but he's stubborn. )
Nothin' wrong with liking multiple people, you know. Not that you need me to tell you that, I suppose.
no subject
[ESP members have to be poly by default or they can't come to the club. That's the lore. In this essay I will—]
A-and, Yukio is also a teacher. At an exorcist school. He's way, way smarter than I'll ever be. It's... [Beat.] I think it's nice.
[Noah's sapiosexual ass out here trying to think of other words that sound a little less dedicated because if he says "attractive" or something like he wants to he might actually combust on the spot.]
I don't know if he actually went to medical school. Um— you can't tell his brother any of this! We haven't talked to Rin yet!
no subject
You might need to, soon. I'd want to know about my sister's partners, after all.
( after a moment, he unhooks the axe. walks up to a tree, once he's sure noah's at a good distance. grounds himself as much as he can and chops- it's loud, sudden and harsh. he'll be at this for some time, because once it's downed he'll need to get it to managable sizes, remove branches... haul everything back.
he's always been a little uneasy about learning magic himself, but right now? planning ahead? he's grateful. )
no subject
[Ugh this is hard to admit.]
W-we haven't put a label on anything, and I don't want to walk up to Rin and say "hey, I kissed your twin brother" without it... meaning something. I was gonna ask, it's just... it happened mostly at the kissing booth back at the festival, and then we walked around the courtyard and held hands for a bit. I... I've also never actually dated someone?
[Do you ever just talk about feelings while watching your dad hack down an entire tree? That's where Noah's at.]
no subject
Yes- well... ( once he's made a sizable dent, he pauses for a breather. but not too long, lest it do the opposite and make him wear himself out instead. ) -that is very fair. It's... complicated, that sort of thing. Especially since you're inexperienced, and this place likely doesn't want to make it easy either. But you're a good kid.
( okay, back to choppin. )
no subject
[Noah finds a comfortable spot to sit down and pulls his knees to his chest, resting his chin on top of them while he watches Sidney work.]
That's the most I'm scared of, I guess. Hurting someone's feelings, or not knowing what I'm doing and making a fool of myself, or Rin punching me in the face which I probably deserve. Relationships are... scary. That's all.
...I had... have... feelings for someone back home too. Her name is Yuria. Um... I'm just glad she's not here since that means she's not dead.
[This is so much. Noah's just admitting to so much right now.]
no subject
( said with a grunt, because he's getting this fucking tree down with his one arm whether it wants to go or not- )
You have to- be ready to talk about things. Even the ugly things- and trust each other.
no subject
[Noah makes a groaning noise that signifies a reluctance to talk further, curls further into himself, and mutters softly,]
...he's cute and I'm bad at this. There! I said it.
[Clamor sitting on Noah's hip like usual listening to all of this like 👁 probably]
no subject
( not going to break out the 'l' word. )
-and you want to do things 'right'. Its up to you and whoever your with to determine what 'right' is.
no subject
[Life would be so much easier if the instructions were clear, but the instructions are very unclear and Noah has his hand caught in a bear trap.]
...what do you do? How do you... I mean, you made it look so easy, that one day when I walked into the kitchen and you had your arms around Clamor's waist.
[Noah, sassily: I know what I saw.]
