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
[Which in Shin-speak means, no he won't. It's clear Sara believes it, which is only deepening Shin's dislike for the usual projective reasons, somewhat to his own surprise. He'll drop the subject, though. Rose-tinted goggles sure make it hard to see, and even harder to listen.]
Is that an order from on high, O fearless leader? Ah, that's mean of me...
[Especially after finding out how deep the fissures of that weight have gone... he should leave that one alone, maybe. He leans an elbow on the kotatsu, propping up his head with a hand, one finger pushing a can back and forth by it's rim on the other.]
I'll be nice to him if he's nice to me, how's that for a deal? [And not likely, Shin thinks.] Grudges, huh... So does just letting anything someone does to you slide make you happy?
[He's tired of it. It's hard for him to hold grudges, honestly, an uphill battle he has to work at, but the same part of him that flares up warning bells when people are suspiciously nice to him is what lets him do so in the first place. He doesn't like it.
But this isn't really about Keiji, and he can tell. He was perfectly willing to leave it at 'we both killed each other' before she'd throttled him. Hard to see that as 'meaning well'.]
no subject
When I take revenge, thats not right, but if let other peoples actions slide...I'm weak. It's hard, right? You can't win.
[ It's strange because to Sara there had never been a killed eachother. Shin had tried to kill her, and she's tried to get over it, made a poor choice to work with him over Kanna, felt the consequences. There's a lot of emotion tied up there...but not a lot of tit for tat. By her own admission, her decision was hardly grounded in well thought out reason. There were a lot of things in the game that hadn't been fair...a type of bone deep unfairness that Sara had never seen before, the kind that bears strange twisted fruit but...a grudge...a need for revenge. Sara didn't think she had that. She didn't want to destroy herself that way. ]
So, I'm just not happy. Anyway, getting along with people is better. That's the only truth I need. If you just forget about it, things work out better.
no subject
[If they fought for real Shin would be a smear on the ground, and he knows it. Don't need to worry about that one, Sara, as far as he's concerned.
Verbal sparring now... absolutely still on the table, even if Keiji's got more fencing skill there as well. Even with Shin getting the hang of it, the gap is smaller.]
...the world's cruel that way, isn't it?
[All you can do is be caught in it's jaws, if you aren't already strong. He hasn't found a solution to it, beyond the dim inklings behind a pane of smoked glass he's been reaching for here, with as much thought as a plant towards sunlight and as much pain as resetting a bone. The last sentence sours in his ears, his smile taking on that calcified cast.]
Do they now? [Do they, Sara? Has forgetting things worked out for him? There's things he doesn't want to remember, but that's different. What you don't know can hurt you equally as much as what you do.] Hey, Sara? How many times did you use Safalin's machine? Did forgetting Joe work out better for you?
[There's a point in here... somewhere.]
no subject
[ She looks up to face him, hackles already raising. She didn't know what tripwire she'd stumbled into this time, what caused this flip in tone, whatever was about to make what he said next awful. It was just like back on the roof, when she'd known it would happen and hoped she'd be strong enough not to react. ]
You know I didn't want to forget him. I don't know why I can't remember...but thats not any of your business anymore. [ She talked about that to him in...confidence? It wasn't a secret, but she'd felt comfortable about it because they were friends. ]
...Don't try and make me mad.
no subject
[He says this, with his heart behind his face in his throat, and his finger over the button under the table, withdrawn ostensibly to his jacket pocket... and it's knife. She caught him off guard last time, but.]
Well, who do we know who can steal memories, Sara? That'd be the place I'd start.
[So you could say it is his business, as things concerning Midori are? His tone is dry, the kind of slow when he's spelling something out for you.]
...Are you going to buy anything else? You're holding up the line.
[There is no line. This is entirely one man's roleplay, and there's only 34 potential customers anyway.]
