AVAILABLE
Students
✽ Yumemi Minazuki: A student in class 1-D. An earnest and straightforward girl who falls in love easily. She seems to attract odd occurrences. Computer Science is one of her electies, and it seems that she was one of the students who was saved by transfer students' efforts after failing her final.
AVAILABLE BY REQUEST
Faculty
✽ "Kazuki": The gardener is a spirit which appears in the courtyard during the night. He can not normally be seen, unless a character has the ability to see spirits, owns an adderstone through which they can see spirits, or visits the courtyard during nights of the full moon. Those who have spirit sight or see him during the full moon will see him in his human form; through an adderstone or within the "void" version of the school, the gardener appears in his true form as a man-eating monster. The gardener is blind, and only darkness can be seen in the eye holes of his mask. Rumor has it that the gardener has used to be employed as a teacher before becoming the gardener, and has been around almost as long as the counselor. He is patient and understanding, and is fond of the students.
✽ "Mizuki" Arata: The counselor is available during school hours, answering to a knock on the door with permission to enter. While the counselor typically sits on top of his desk, there are a variety of chairs in the office to choose from, and he will always offer to share his snack bowl. All supernatural powers are nullified within his office. Rumor has it that the counselor founded the school and is aware of everything that goes on in the school at any given moment. He can be difficult to talk with, but always seems to be having fun.

Other
✽ "God": "God" can be visited at the shrine accessed from within the forest, and will introduce themselves as Jizo, the deity who guides souls through the afterlife, particularly those of children and travelers. They take on the appearance of a middle school child, and although their power is limited, they may grant a wish for a price, and otherwise seems to enjoy company.
UNAVAILABLE
Faculty
✽ Principal: There is currently no principal. The principal's office is unlocked, but until the sub-zero temperature condition in the room is dealt with, normal students will quickly freeze to death upon entering. Rumor has it that historically, the principal monitors the school but does not have active involvement.
✽ Vice principal: There is currently no vice principal. The vice principal has a desk in the faculty office with the rest of the staff, and takes on the responsibilities of the principal if the principal is unavailable. Rumor has it that the vice principal's job involves a LOT of paperwork.
✽ Teachers: Teachers hold office hours in the faculty office from 4 PM to 6 PM and supplemental lessons are handwaved. Students of any age can apply for a teaching position, provided competency.
✽ Librarian: The librarian is available during school hours, and can help locate or otherwise order new books on specific topics upon request. Requests for books on specific topics are handwaved, as long as the book is not canon specific. Library materials are not to be removed from the library.
✽ Janitor: The janitor cleans the school at the end of each school day, of everything from trash in the bins to bodies and blood following a murder. They are never seen, but most students assume they exist. The janitor's closet, located between the faculty office and the bathroom, can be freely accessed.

Students
✽ Keigo Arata: The previous shopkeep of the student store. Unlike most students, they committed suicide to purposely arrive at the school, under contract with a "god." Through the efforts and sacrifice of their friends, this contract has since been nullified and they were killed in hopes of becoming an official student in the future.
Other
✽ A fluffy white cat: Very friendly and will come running seemingly out of nowhere when food is being offered. She can otherwise be found seeking out warm sunny spots within the school, and enjoys being kissed and petted but not held. She is called by many many names, including Lily Mayhemnaise, Lucy, Lucifer, Whitey, Yuki, Cygnus, Sweetheart, and Emerald Moon, but does not actually respond to any of them.
✽ A skinny black cat: Wary and skittish, and will occasionally come eat the leftovers after the fluffy white cat has eaten her share. He can otherwise be found perched up on high places out of reach, but will run away if approached. He appears to be small and skinny enough to squeeze through gaps underneath doors and other places, and is occasionally seen in the counselor's office or rooftop. He is called by many many names, including Beverage, Belphegor, Blacky, Yoru, Robbie, Crux, Sweetheart, and Citrine Blizzard, but does not actually respond to any of them.

[ Might as well start lying right away, apparently. Although she had to sit through another couple boring bullshit meetings, where she could've just gotten right to shaking and that could've worked?? ]
That said... the guy's hiding out for a bit. He's scared because some people might actually think to go after him to kill him. Can you believe that? He's afraid of something like that, after killing others first.
no subject
...It's not that easy, and Nao knows it, otherwise she would have taken matters into her own hands instead of relying on Bonnie to figure out who did it. But, truth is, confronting people is scary even on her bravest days; this is a psychotic killer who went way overboard for— for what reason? what would even justify all of that? ]
Stupid. Pathetic. He can't suffer if he's dead.
[ That's mean of her, she knows. But in a place where the dead don't stay dead, what good is it to kill someone before they can learn their lesson? ]
no subject
[ Sigh! At what she's saying, she doesn't even really blink. It's true-- death would just be a quick way out... but, not her problem if that's the way he goes. ]
If I give you a name, is the plan to make him suffer first?
no subject
It's anger and indignation that she's held onto for the past several weeks but when she's handed the culprit and has to unclench her fists to receive it... she doesn't really know what she'd do. Yell at him. Punch him. She'll probably cry. But she really doesn't know after that. Just the thought of killing anybody makes her nauseous, never mind going through with the act.
She lets out a frustrated growl and leans back heavily against the wall. Death threats feel nice and vindictive in your head, but being faced with reality is entirely different. ]
I don't know... Yes... Not to be mean about it, just— [ okay, a little to be mean about it, but also, ] ...if he felt no remorse for what he did, if he didn't regret it or, I dunno, care at all, I'd be really mad then. I might break a couple of ribs, to start.
no subject
It's something Bonnie doesn't understand much herself. If there's a problem, just shoot at it until it's not a problem anymore. Dealing out that pain to someone else just sounds right to her.
Still. She's pretty sure he feels remorse, but that's the kind of thing Nao'd have to find out herself.
Never.]A couple of ribs, hm? You must have a heck of a punch to do that much damage.
[ Alright, she can't help it-- ]
And? If he felt bad about it?
no subject
...I think I might still break a couple of his ribs. You know that saying about how hurting somebody who hurt you won't make you feel better? Well, that's wrong.
[ She absolutely will feel better. She'll still feel like shit, but she'll feel better. ]
no subject
[ Hmmm. That's tricky, but really, once he spills the beans, it's open season on him anyway. So. ]
Rantaro Amami. That's the guy after all.
no subject
[ They shared a room together at Disney and everything: herself, Natsume, and her best friend's murderer. ]
Both of them? [ sorry miss VP, you're not on her radar ] What the hell did Hiro do to deserve any of that?!
[ Ohhhhhhhhhh she's mad she's MAD she's going to break several ribs and his legs and his nose, and he'd better not be smiling anymore— he always seems to be, and to think she used to admire that the same way she admired Bonnie for being able to smile despite the circumstances. Ugh!!! ughughugh ]
no subject
Mm... maybe it was to get him before he found out? There was a lot of talking about letting Hiro get to whoever the murderer was first.
[ Which would make it "self defense", yes? Although, Amami had been stabbed before... that part's probably best left off the table, if it IS related in any way. ]
He didn't give me a chance to find out how, but yeah. [ A pause. ] I didn't know you were familiar with him.
no subject
Hiro and Maya I knew from last year, in the short time before I, you know.
[ died ]
Amami I don't know as well but... I trust Natsume, and he was cool with Amami. I need to go tell him he's a shit judge of character.
no subject
[ That was the part that bothered her! The thing he wanted, it was probably working out, wasn't it? So then why was he so upset? ]
Anyway, I'm not here to make excuses for him. Just to let you know-- oh, and to ask a favor in return for this information. We're still trying to figure out what to do about him, so... maybe don't do anything until you hear from us?
