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.

At least, I think so... [ She falters for a second. Actually, this is all fiction so she doesn't QUITE know the science. ] Some of the details might be a little fudged... but it's a really good story, right?? And the puzzles are really really good too!!!
no subject
[he is getting surprisingly heated... but oh, right, it's fictional. he huffs.]
Tch, story... it almost sounded interesting, but it's hardly what I'd call a "puzzle" if it's based in something as simple as physics. A game like that is beneath me.
no subject
[ She laughs a little bit when he dismisses the game. ] Well, I think it's really fun!! There's a co-op mode but I've never been able to play. Hey, if we can get the game back at school, do you wanna play it sometime?
no subject
I just said it's beneath me, why would I be interested? Besides, I don't need some childish, unrealistic game to mess with space and gravity. I can do that by myself.
[He flicks his wrist, making another (much smaller, mostly to show off) portal appear over his shoulder, with a matching one cracking open in the air a few feet away from Nanami. She's welcome to stick her hand in it. It's slightly cool in there, with maybe a foot of empty "space" before reaching through to the other side... the edges of it feel sharp, so try not to cut yourself on the fabric of reality.]
no subject
...
[ Experimentally, she slowly reaches into her pocket and pulls out a couple of candies she picked up at the park, to snack on, and lobs them into the portal just to see what happens. ]
no subject
Add doesn't say anything because he's still trying to be ~cool and indifferent~... but also because he's watching her reaction, she can experiment all she wants with it.]
no subject
Then she looks back through the portal. She sees the ground... on the other side of her... through the portal. She gets to her feet and concentrates, as if judging the distance.
Then with just a short runup, she jumps into the portal and comes tumbling out again on the other side. She stumbles and falls again when she lands - the distance was a liiittle farther than she anticipated, and she winces and inspect her ankle, trying to figure out if she sprained it. ]
That... [ She looks back at the portal again. ] That isn't something you could make into, like, a handheld device, is it?...
[ She has to ask. Oh to have a real portal gun. SHE WANTS ONE. ]
no subject
Anyway, the portal starts to heal itself shut, cracks melding back together from the edges and moving inward until both ends have vanished completely. It takes energy to keep that thing open so he's done showing off for now, the fabric of reality needs rest too.]
... I've already invented something like that, obviously. An external device would be taking a step back from my current technique. Not that an idiot like you would know the difference.
no subject
Brushing off the insult - she's used to her classmates knowing more than her about things and expressing it in occasionally crude ways. ] Mmm... or is this the kind of thing that only you can use? Because you've spent a lot of time leveling up your abilities and learning about the fabric of spacetime.
[ If she doesn't know how to speak in magic, she can at least speak in Roleplaying Game. ]
no subject
[She keeps ignoring his insults... is this girl just dense? Or is she doing it on purpose? He wants to be more annoyed about it, but it's hard not to boast when someone asks about his tech. Ugh, his weakness...
... but she seems like she's actually listening, so... maybe he can talk for a little longer. Just to prove how much smarter he is than anyone else.]
Spatiotemporal manipulation also requires a powerful energy source, and the feedback from using it is too much for a human body to withstand... but if it's just linking points within the same space, or teleportation, there are far safer methods. Of course, I know all about those methods as well.
no subject
Right, there's lots of games that have teleportation, both short distance, and also fast travelling around a map. But linking together two places spatially just has so much of a different feel to it, doesn't it?? Being able to look through a window and see the next place, it's like getting a sneak preview of the next level before you get to play it!
no subject
Gathering information is useful even if you don't use the shortcut... I've used it for such purposes before, anyway. [great for snooping on people, though it's hard to explain if he gets caught. being the only one with a certain power does have its downsides.] All of this is in your games? Nothing I've seen looks that complicated... not that I care about things like that.
no subject
[ Again, it's easy to launch into a long tirade about her favorite games-- but this time she manages to stop herself before she gets too far. ] But... it sounds like you know enough that you practically live in a video game, yourself! Or... did, I guess.
