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
( she had more strawberries planted!!! strawberries!!!!! )
i could bring you some of the jade plants if you want. i don't wanna mess with others' pots but those ones are more of a community thing these days
and i'm glad!!! i remember you liked vega a lot!!
( just use star names it'll work honestly, i believe vega to be a cool hacker type. good for them. )
no subject
[It was really cold... even if his heater wasn't eaten by the void.
And oh no, the roof ones... he was a bit preoccupied at the time, he didn't really think to check. Speaking of the jade plants...]
Wouldn't they need more light? This room doesn't have windows...
[It's just a lightbulb in the ceiling, not even with a lampshade. It's currently not turned on, because the dark feels safer to Shin. People can't see your reactions in it, can't tell where you are if you don't make sound. There can be terrors in it, too, but they're there whether the lights are on or off, as vulnerable to being heard.
There's a soft laugh on the other side of the door at the last sentence.]
Why wouldn't I? They're the coolest one after all.
[Shin your biases. But Vega is like the kind of person he'd like to be, fraught as that wish is sometimes. While I'm here I have to know Nene's favourite space hamster.]
no subject
( it may have been cold but the club's care and add's plant food have strengthened them!! hopefully they weren't too lonely though... )
mmmmmm you might have to move them to a window for a while now and then
( as in every day, but shh. )
they aaaaaaaaaare pretty great but we know spica is amazing.
( captain spica, the lead hero's second in command through all five movies- sweet but collected, a sharpshooter who always knows just what to do- a proper role model, truly. )
no subject
[He helped with that, even a little. It's a small warm feeling in this frost... but mostly it's Nene should feel that pride.]
Guess I could take a few... It'd free up some space, wouldn't it?
[Plan 'get Shin out of the room and getting some sunlight once a day' is a go!]
Spica's pretty good, but they're kind of always in the hero's shadow, aren't they?
[Although given they're a lancer type, that's part of the point.]
no subject
( busy busy busy... but she doesn't mind. it's fun. and she's worked with lots of new flowers and vegetables, too.
and more importantly, hiyori-san is agreeing to get some fresh air and light once a day at the very least.
as for hamsters... )
yeah but spica doesn't mind. if it was glory they wanted, they would have chosen a different path, don't you think?
