FEBRUARY EVENT LOG/TDM
02/07 - 02/11 School Trip
✽ At 8AM sharp on Monday the 7th, all students are asked to gather in the auditorium to go over the school trip to Tokyo DisneySea; those who decide to stay at school, however, are instructed to attend school as normal and use their days as a study hall or free period. Those grades won't keep themselves up, after all.
✽ Those who are going on the field trip will be given the rundown: they'll be staying at DisneySea for five days and four nights, at the Hotel MiraCosta located inside the park. They'll be lead in lines to the front gate of the school, consciousness wavering as they pass through the open gates, and they open their eyes to find themselves in the parking lot of Tokyo DisneySea, sluggish and drowsy, as if they'd dozed off and had just awoken from a very, very long drive. Characters will have to wait in line for quite some time, with the rate of it moving at an achingly slow 0.00000005 miles per hour (or so it feels) before they're able to get their tickets to the park, a knife, and their complimentary map to guide the way.
✽ Welcome to Disney! DisneySea, to be precise! Made up of seven different port areas, it's a treat for those who enjoy the water—and one for those who don't as well, considering its expansive amount of land-locked attractions. The world is your oyster after you enter the Mediterranean Harbor with its Venetian gondolas and southern European charm, with the American Waterfront to your left and the Mysterious Island straight ahead. Past those are Port Discovery, Lost River Delta, Mermaid Lagoon, and the Arabian Coast—it's probably not doable in a day, so isn't it lucky you get to spend the a whole five days here instead? Characters such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Pluto, Chip & Dale, Donald Duck, and so on and so forth can be found wandering the areas, with Ariel found specifically in the Mermaid Lagoon; the Genie, Aladdin, Jafar, and Jasmine in the Arabian Coast; and Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket, Geppetto, and the Fox in the American Waterfront. Get a picture and make some memories, because day light is burning, and it'll be closing time before you know it!
✽ Things take on a little bit of a twist when night falls; attractions refuse to work the right way, shadows seem to follow you wherever you go, and the cast members walking around seem a little more sharp-eyed and sharp-tongued than usual. The food tastes worse, as if it's spoiled rotten, and the water beneath the ports churns unsettlingly. All guests are ushered either out or to the hotel as the clock ticks closer to 9PM each day, with forcefully cheerful goodbyes and perhaps a little more pushing than necessary.
✽ Hotel MiraCosta is a gorgeous experience that's hauntingly devoid of people aside from those coming from Yogen, and even it isn't immune from the chilly atmosphere that sinks in around DisneySea when night falls: you might see glimpses of your home world but empty in the mirrors, or a shadowy figure with a knife poised ready to stab you in the back— and if you don't turn quick enough, that might just become your reality. In other reflective surfaces, like the shine of the floors or the water of a fountain gone still after hours, characters will find their worst fears on full display and reaching out to grab them; falling prey to this will put them temporarily in a fit, as if they're trapped in a nightmare. Other characters can wake them up, but if they're alone... Well, you better hope someone finds you soon: spending too long in the nightmare will have you seeing ghosts of those you miss and those you've wronged before. One will tempt you into going with them to the other side, while the other will make an attempt on your life. The pool isn't safe either: anyone swimming in the dark will find themselves at risk of drowning, feeling as if their feet have been caught by something or someone. Of course, the hotel is perfectly safe and ordinary in the day time, so you have nothing to worry about then! Night-time is just a different matter.
✽ For those who decide to investigate the park after hours will find the cast members remain long after the guests have left, and they make a sport of those who either stay past closing or who trespass on park grounds. Take care out there in DisneySea's version of The Most Dangerous Game— Mickey's got a gun, and he's not afraid to use it. Not every cast member will be out to get you though: the Genie, Donald and Daisy Duck, and the Fox will all help characters who need it... for a price. These can range from the absurd to the impossible to the cruel, though the Ducks tend to be nicer in their requests than the other two.
✽ And those shadows from before, attraction mishaps, and more? They'll still happen, and as the week's nights go on, it gets harder and harder to survive the park. Saw this and laughed, but good news, guys! The staff is here to help you out this time.
✽ Had enough of Disney? You can beg Add to take you to Russia instead.

02/12 - end of the month
✽ Wasn't that fun... With everybody reenergized after the school trip, classes continue as usual. Math is tough and philosophy is confusing, but after a gloomy overcast January, the sun is shining this month and it becomes harder and harder to resist just walking out the door and into the woods and never returning.
✽ Those who escape reality by running away from their problems will find that they are able to step past the tree line for the first time this school year, and that they can continue walking without bounds. The forest seems to go on and on and on without end, gradually sloping upwards the further away from the school but never seeming to reach a crest. Eventually, you may come across a river that runs nearby the school, shallow and calm in places and wide and rushing in others, with little piles of rocks along the riverbank as if of somebody trying to stack rocks as high as they can go. Scattered about the forest, characters may also come across much larger rocks, bound with rope and spread just far enough apart that you are able to see the next one when standing by the first, if you know where to look.
✽ Quiet and peaceful, the forest is otherwise full of life if you pay attention: you can hear the chirping of birds, small critters scuttling through the underbrush, the distant howl of wolves. If you're very still and quiet, you may be able to see some of the wildlife, and those that hunt them. When night falls, you may see little pinpoints of light floating around past the trees; they would be easy to mistake for fireflies if they did not glow a faint blue, the same shade as the flowers of the wisteria tree, and upon closer look appear to be butterflies fluttering low to the ground, feeding upon rotting carcasses and pools of blood.
✽ The trees are pine trees.
✽ At the end of the month, even if you've decided to go feral and live in the woods, all characters will be pinged on their PDAs:
@ everyone
Thank you. Your tuition has been collected.
followed by a list of names, which includes unlisted npcs but they don't get names so you just have to imagine.

OOC
✽ The park and hotel are completely normal during the daytime; it is only when night falls that it becomes a ...twisted wonderland.
✽ All characters will be forced to leave the school trip and return to school by evening of the 11th through a death in some way. Dying early returns you to school early, and if characters do not take care of it themselves, they will be taken out by an adorable Disney mascot or a Russian with a glock.
✽ Everybody participating in the school trip will find +1 tally on their left wrist upon returning to school. Characters who help others return by murdering them will receive +1 tally for each kill; please let the mods know so Alice can update the tally list.
✽ There are a couple of things to find inside the forest, so if your character is doing something or searching in a specific way that isn't blindly wandering, hit up the questions toplevel to see if they come across anything.
✽ Tuition has been collected. Don't worry about it.

no subject
[ She peers out the alleyway past him -- she sees bodies, not moving. ]
Th-then... what are they?
no subject
Just think of them as monsters. That's the easiest way to do it.
[ Were they actually human beneath the shell? It doesn't matter. They're a threat to him, and so it's suffice to describe them as monsters to others. ]
The fact that they bleed red is just a coincidence.
no subject
[ She's shaking. Oh god what's happening. She should have run. ]
W-we need to escape... how do we get home?
no subject
This place is like a dream. We're not really here, but do wake up you have to die. Once your heartbeat stops, you'll wake up in front of the school like nothing ever happened. That's why you were given the knife.
[ It's a kinder explanation than he ought to give, but if he says it that way then he can find comfort in it too. It's not death, it's just waking from a long dream. It's not the end of existence or an extinguished flame, but snapping back to reality. It doesn't work, of course, and his code will no more allow him to stop his own artificial heartbeat now any more than it would before. It's right though, he thinks. He'd heard it, and verified it with Komaeda.
He sighs. ]
No way around it. Pretty nasty dream, huh?
no subject
N-no, that's wrong... it must be wrong... [ She looks around, gripping her jacket hard with white-knuckled hands. Her knees still smart from where she scraped them up before. She can smell oil and metal from the machines - burnt popcorn in the air - and the sounds of cicadas and occasional gunshots ring in her ears.
There's too much for it to be a dream. Too much grounding her. ]
I-it's too real... [ But then, what has counted as real, really, since the moment the labyrinth faded away and she awoke with half-remembered memories of a new school and a new life? Her mind stumbles, and she leans against the wall-- cool in the evening darkness, rough brick under her hand. She curls her hand into a fist, and the wall scrapes against her skin. ]
There must be another way out!
no subject
The opportunity is gone now though. Ranger is unlucky, and so he never had one to begin with. ]
Nope, that's it. You're just shocking yourself out of a nightmare.
[ He keeps one foot pressed against the wall, idly pushing up and letting his weight fall back against the wall in a rhythmic motion. But in the end it's a warning and not a threat. ]
Does it matter? You're already dead... Well, I'm not gonna stop you if you wanna try. But if you start panicking, you're gonna be easy pickings for the guys around here.
no subject
He's lying... death can't be the answer... it's not a trap, it's a game... a challenge to be overcome...
Swirling like a whirlpool around a single notion, a black inky void, a truth that her friend speaks to her, clawing at her from the depths to pull her into a crushing despair--
That the worst thing she ever experienced, which ripped her away from her home and everybody she loved, is something she has to do again. ]
No! [ It's too loud for nobody nearby to hear. Tears are welling up in her eyes. For a moment she's forgotten herself and her surroundings, an aching roar in her ears as there's just her friend and just the alley. ]
I-I won't lose... to them!! We'll go home... and it'll be okay, somehow!
no subject
If you start shouting like that, we're gonna have visitors.
[ Ranger pushes himself off the wall now, walking past her toward the end of the alley. He waits several seconds before peeking out from behind it. There's one not far away, but fortunately it has its back to him, and it doesn't seem to have noticed yet.
He pulls back, stepping away and pressing up against the wall once more. His head is slightly tilted in the direction now though, and Ranger tries to give some of his attention to anything that might pass by. ]
What're you gonna do then? How do you plan on winning against them? It's a hassle to take even one down.
no subject
[ She sinks down against the wall on the far end of the alley from him. She can feel the hard edges of the knife in her pack, but she hasn't touched it and she still doesn't want to take it out. Her heart lurches. ]
We just need to escape them. It's like Solid Snake. Sometimes combat isn't the right answer. It's just getting to the end of the level that matters.
no subject
He decides to entertain the idea further. ]
Hmm... Well, I doubt there's any more freaks waiting for you outside. Where are you gonna go if you manage it?
no subject
We just need to get back there, and then it'll be okay. [ She peers out her side of the alley, watching for an opening. She just has to time this right. ]
no subject
Right, right... Well, better than just standing here. Just try not to die in the process. I won't be much good if you get in trouble.
[ The knife suggests otherwise, but when it comes down to it he has to look out for himself first. But he shrugs, willing enough to see this to its conclusion. ]
