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.

[ Satou is captivated by the park on day one. Or at least, she's putting on a convincing act of being caught up in a daydream-like state. There are plenty of reasons for her to cautious, but Satou is constantly paranoid anyway. She can at least act carefree until given a reason not to be.
So when she receives her map, Satou squawks with excitement. ]
IT'S SO BIIIIG!!! [ She bounces on her heels. It appears to be a struggle for her to not rush off in a random direction. ] Where do I go Where do I go Where do I go- [ Satou holds up the map to the student next to her, eyes bright and a huge smile on her face; ] Where do I goo?!
(B) That's PRINCESS Satou to you!
[ Generally, Satou plays the role of "sweet, modest shoujo heroine" perfectly. She deflects compliments, shyly giggles through her victories, and puts on a show of being too pure to have an ego.
But now she's in Disney and all of the cast members are calling her ~PRINCESS~. It's too much fun and it's fueling her secret pride. It's fine to be a bit self-indulgent when you're at Disney, right? This is about the fairytale experience, so it's fine!
She's been at an information kisok, swooning over how the cast member calls her ~princess~ when he gives her directions. ]
Auau~ Sorry~ Princess Satou still doesn't understand. One more ti- [ Then she notices that one of her classmates has approached. GAME OVER. She squeaks lightly and steps back from the kiosk, waving her hands dismissively while red colours her face. ] -IIIIII MEAN! Wowzers howzers, your directions were PERFECT! Wahaha- BYE!
[Then she stares silently at her classmate. Th-They didn't notice that, right???]
(C) Hey hey! Let's MUG Mickey Mouse!
[ When Satou realized that her trip wasn't all sunshine and roses and being called princess, she wasn't disappointment. Just annoyed. This had been what she expected, but she wasn't happy to be right.
What she was happy about was recognizing the kind of gun that one of the mascots was carrying. After some elaborate plotting, she had gotten the jump on one of the mascots and yoinked their gun. She stands off to the side, double checking that the gun is everything she remembers. The cutesy act from before has been dropped in favor of a dark expression and frown. With a tsk, she does make an unfortunate realization; ]
I don't have spare magazines. I'll have to replace it before it runs out of shots, huh~? [ She sighs... Then, with a shrug, pushes off from the wall. ] Guess it's time to make them afraid of us, ne~?
(D) A fairytale NIGHTMARE
[ While patrolling one night, Satou can't help but notice the stillness of the fountain water. It's such a shame, she thinks bitterly, That the fairytale dream really does end after dark here.
Staring at her reflection, Satou has a melancholy thought about how she went and mugged a Disney mascot to get their gun. Not exactly ~princess~ behavior, is it? She's lucky that Mikale taught her how to use them in the first place. If he hadn't thought to teach her to protect herself without magic, then she wouldn't be able to steal them either... Her mind traces the violent solutions he'd taught her as a way of comforting herself.
But in the surface of the water, Satou doesn't see anything comforting. She sees the reflections of the people who might have been in the mascot costumes. She can see the faces of the people she's had to kill over the years, reminding her that her survival comes at a price. How awful she is to trade the lives of others for her own- How terrible and sinful she is- How The Witch of Sins can never be a fairytale princess.
Dazed, Satou begins climbing onto the edge of the fountain.]
It's not my fault. It's not my fault. I didn't want to die... That's not a sin, it's not..?
A
[She wants to go everywhere, this is all so fresh and exciting and new to her-]
no subject
But the scariest thing about the map is that they might not be able to do everything. Satou giggles and sways back and forth like a child.]
Surely we can! If nothing else... Maybe one area per day? Ah, but what if we find a favorite on the last day and wish we'd spent more time there..? Hmm.
no subject
We do have five days to do whatever we want. And I'm excited to see the hotel too. ☆
[She gets to room with new people! Experience new things! It's all fresh and exciting for her and she wants to do as much as she's able to.]
But which area should we start with?
no subject
[Satou feels like a princess already! Which is probably why her fairytale starred eyes lock onto a particular area;]
Wanna try the mermaid lagoon? It looks small, so maybe we'll be able to finish it quickly?
no subject
[Her night owl is showing.]
I want to try it!
[Honestly anything sounds like fun, she won't complain in the slightest.]
no subject
Okay! Let's start there. I wonder if there are mermaids there, or if it's just a rumor~? [Well. She wonders if cast members will be dressed up or not.] Maybe there are fish there too? [To eat, she hopes.]
no subject
no subject
Like this?
[Releasing her face, Satou continues;] Have you ever been to an amusement park like this, Rika-chan?
no subject
Yes, like that.
[But then Satou asks a question.]
I haven't. There isn't anything like that in Hinamizawa, so this is my first time at one. What about you?
no subject
Mm. I went with my little sister, Sakura-chan.
[Though her empathy had made the amusement park quite overwhelming at the time. It's not as hard to be in crowded spaces anymore.]
If it's your first time, we'll have to make it suu~uuper special! Anything you see and wanna try, let's go ahead and do it~!
no subject
[There are a lot of questions running through Rika's mind--but this isn't the time or place to ask them. So she opts not to.]
Well, we have to go see the fishies first! Otherwise they might swim away.
no subject
Satou backtracks;]
U, Unless we have something to share, ne? Let's hurry over before they have to go home~! C'mon! [She offers her hand.]

C
She'd spotted Satou from a bit away, holding onto the same gun that'd been swiped from one of those costumed freaks. Moving towards her permission, she giggles. ]
Oh, I don't know about that. Some of them don't have big heads, so keeping one to bash some heads in wouldn't be a bad idea.
[ It was like looking into a mirror. Which, in this case? She'll let it go-- there's more important things at hand here, like... ]
It just wouldn't be nice if we ignored them. They're trying to make this place fun for us, after all.
[ Tee hee. ]
Let's make 'em regret messing with us.
no subject
But this isn't a situation where that mask will benefit her, is it? It's clear to her that this girl shares a violent streak in common with Satou. She seems smart enough that she'll hush up about Satou's fake persona later, too. And even with that aside... There's the threat of death to convince Satou not to slip back into her cutesy personality.
So she nods. Not giggling in agreement, but a nod nonetheless.]
I'm tired of being treated like we're helpless. It's time to set a new precedent around here, isn't it? [In the back of her mind, Satou is aware that resisting will only make the other force hit her harder. But she's too stubborn to be the one who breaks.]
no subject
She's sure that wouldn't happen. No one's that dumb. ]
Why, there's only one cure for anyone stupid enough to think we're that helpless. [ That smile warps into a devilish grin, eyes sharp as she gets a glimpse at two of the mascots, still scouting the perimeter. ]
Drilling a bullet, right through their thick skulls. ♥
[ A momentary glance over at Satou. ]
You won't slow me down, will you? If there's anything I hate doing, it's carrying dead weight around.
no subject
She nods, her own eyes similarly spotting the two mascots. They're a target she couldn't take on her own.]
I don't plan to. What's your plan? [Satou tilts her head towards the mascots,] I've been setting traps, but that was before I got this.
no subject
[ She thinks on it, keeping an eye between those mascots, scouting the area surrounding them. ]
No reason to stop using traps, even with the glock. The element of surprise's most of the battle, after all.
Although, it makes it easier to get under their skin. Make 'em paranoid, wait until they're ready to tear their hair out and then... put them out of their misery.
[ With a miming-- pow pow. ]
B!!!
But he does try to smile it off and move on. For both of them. ]
Ah... um, h-hey Satou! Did you wanna go ride something maybe?
no subject
She notices his attempt to smile and does her best to play along;]
Oh uh yeah! I was just asking about that... where to find a fast ride or some fishies, uh... [She had gotten distracted with being called 'princess.'] Was there somewhere you wanted to go, Joe-san?
D
Nope, but throwing your life away sure would be one.
[ He leans forward, dipping gloved his fingertips into the water and swishing them back and forth. The movement creates ripples and small waves as he reaches forward and pulls his hand back, creates small circles, all to fracture and disrupt the illusions hiding in their reflection. ]
You should be willing to do anything to survive.
[ One should be willing to be kind and supportive, to adapt to their surroundings. A person should be happy to lie, steal, rend, maim, kill, all so that they can live one more day. ]
no subject
Ranger-san..?
[Her voice wavers more than she'd like. Satou doesn't turn around to face him just yet, ashamed to see her reflection is one of teary eyes and a messy expression.]
A, ah... What was... I was just... Was that a trick..?
no subject
[ ... ]
You sound like you saw something unpleasant.
[ He glances over. He can't quit see her face, but he's sure that the expression matches. ]
no subject
Slowly, she opens her eyes and releases a held sigh.]
I did. Thank you, Ranger-san. For whatever you did.
It seems that the water here is up to no good, ne?
no subject
It's nothing... Ahaha, yeah. It's pulling tricks. It got me too. It was showing me some pretty scary stuff.
[ A beat. ]
Things I'd rather not think about.
