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.

✽ 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.

[Senku, please help. Noah never went to real school he only ever went to cult homeschooling. Dantalion didn't teach him what refractive light is.]
Is that... like, the light can't penetrate the depths of the ocean, right? Or something else?
no subject
So it's like sticking a piece of glass underwater- you don't get the glare you do when you look at it from an angle above the water!
[ He's got you, Noah. ]
no subject
[It's a good thing Senku has learnt how to explain things to Noah well because otherwise he'd be lost. More science teachers should use visual examples like this.]
Okay. That makes sense. And then obviously having transparent skin is good for hiding from predators, like you said, so it's an evolutionary benefit.
...
Fun question while we're here, I guess. Um... if you could choose between being transparent to hide from predators or being poisonous so that they don't eat you, what would you choose?
no subject
[ He puts a hand to his chin in thought a bit. ]
Not gonna lie, I'd probably rather be poisonous! There's merit to being invisible, but also I'd rather not take my chances with just accidentally being caught, if that makes sense. Besides, quite a few animals use bright colors to show that they're dangerous! Like the blue-ringed octopus, or poison dart frogs. I think I'd take that chance.
How about you?
no subject
[It's literally all coolness factor for him. Like that's just it.]
But I like the idea of camouflage too. [Noah blends into the background pretty well on his own already.] It's kind of tough to say... I guess that doesn't matter much when your colouration says "get the hell away from me" though.
Next question: What kind of animal would you be?
no subject
[ Sometimes you just gotta be cool, and that's okay because this is a seaplane. ]
What kind of animal would I be? That's tough. I do like regular land animals and such, but also the chance to see just how deep the ocean goes is pretty tempting too. It's sort of like space that way- we don't entirely know what else we'll find in the depths, but people won't stop experimenting until we find out.
no subject
[He hasn't actually seen the ocean, but he knows, okay.]
The demon realm has an ocean too which is... um. Well, you can imagine how dangerous it is. There are demon whales and stuff.
[Fun fucking facts? Or maybe not?]
no subject
[ Yeah, Noah's ocean sounds more hostile than his own. Though, there's still plenty unknown out there.... There could be a kraken. ]
Yeah, our oceans sound kind of tame compared to yours. Our crabs don't get people sized or crave human flesh, but there are still dangers and stuff. As far as we know, we're pretty kraken free, too. We did have megalodons millions of years ago, though.
...Really really big sharks.
no subject
[A rustling in the foliage ahead alerts Noah, and he stops dead, throwing an arm out in front of Senku to block his way forward. For a minute, all that can be heard is the sound of their breathing as they stand, Noah looking left and right slowly to make sure he hasn't missed anything.
Then, quietly, one of those many-eyed deer steps out from behind a thick copse of trees, nibbling on grasses. Noah breathes a soft sigh of relief, whispering,]
That's one of the deer. Be careful. ...they bite.
no subject
Though, his eyebrows still shoot up at the sight of the deer in front of them. Many eyes and more legs than needed- terrifying. He whispers back. ]
Let's hope it doesn't have like, ghost rabies.
no subject
One bit me a while ago, and I'm fine. Let's just go around it. The wolves usually hunt the—
[Somewhere, a stick snaps nearby, and Noah immediately whips around toward the source of the noise.
Oh no.]
Hey. I have some bad news.
[This is the calmest reaction to one of those freaky spectral wolves one could possibly have. Maybe it's the adrenaline speaking. Maybe Noah's just insane.]
Don't. Move. Let's just hope it attacks the deer and gives us a moment to run.
no subject
His hand may be shaking just a bit as he whispers back. ]
Got it.
no subject
He sees that axe, Senku, and in Noah's expert opinion you're going to die an early death before you get to use it, but he doesn't say that. Nope.
Ahead of them, the wolf skulks forward, slow enough to where Noah swears he can count each blade of grass that's being pressed underneath its paws before they settle on the forest floor. It's a too-slow minute or two before the creature pounces, bounding after the terrified deer as it tries to rush into the river and across the other side for safety. Unfortunately for it and its eight spindly little legs, the ghost wolf is far faster, effortlessly leaping across and onto the deer itself.
Noah flinches as the animal bites down on their weird, fanged deer friend. When he's sure the wolf is occupied, though, he whispers,]
Walk slowly in the direction we came from. If we don't make too much noise...
[...they should be fine. "Should be".]
