APRIL EVENT LOG/TDM
The opening ceremony starts at 8, with students and staff moving to the auditorium to sit with their homeroom class, calling characters out by name and dragging them over to their seat— physically if need be, and they're much stronger than they look. Much like the graduation ceremony, characters are not forced to come to the entrance ceremony, but the moment they take a seat, they find that they can neither speak nor get up again until the ceremony is over.
A teacher stands behind the podium on stage. Characters may recognize pieces of the speech from the previous year. He takes the time to welcome Yogen High's new students first, followed by acknowledging the transfer, returning, and repeat students. As he goes on, the teacher encourages students to instead focus on their own personal growth, and developing strong bonds that will allow them to reach their goals. He sighs as he explains that the Principal and Vice Principal are currently not available before he reminds students that violence is strictly prohibited and that there will be strict consequences for anyone who is caught engaging in misconduct.
The teacher concludes by noting that teachers will inform them of any important announcements. He wishes everybody a fulfilling school year, and reminds them that they have the power to shape the future. The ceremony concludes in a little under an hour, and the spell binding the students to their seats is broken, allowing everybody to rise and leave.
School lets out for the rest of the day with classes starting the next morning, and while many students take the opportunity to leave, some linger around the school.

Classes resume as usual, and it's the same old routine, with gossip and rumors spreading about, and students growing excited over new club advertisements, and fortune telling ads in addition to upcoming events. In an effort to encourage students to form lasting relationships, the school has set up events for the first week with plans for smaller events throughout the month. The PDA logs have been wiped clean with the start of the year, and all messages from before 04/05 are gone.
✽ Tuesday, 04/06 will be a simple Welcome Back. The day will be dedicated to giving important announcements, including the events for the rest of the week, introducing students to clubs, etc. There will be a potluck with various sweets and snack items, along with time dedicated to getting-to-know you style games and other such activities.
✽ Wednesday, 04/07 will feature the beginning of a Team Building Scavenger Hunt! There are no items to be found, but instead students are given a list of tasks to complete and turn into their homeroom teacher. Examples include introducing yourself to a new student, doing something nice for another student, being asked to identify a specific student who fits a certain criteria, anything that can be used to encourage interactions.
✽ Thursday, 04/08 will feature karaoke night in the music room. There is a karaoke machine set up along with a screen set up, along with some CDs with all the greatest hits of the 90ws. There is a decorative backdrop set up along with party decorations. There are inflatable music notes, cut out notes, microphones, record albums, and instruments taped along the wall, and a box full of props for students to use if they so choose.
✽ Friday, 04/09 will feature a game night held in class 1-B. Desks have been pushed together to form tables and covered in cloths, and various board and card games have been set out for students. There is a TV with an N64 and Playstation set out along with various games.
Outside of classes, the days wear on, and students come in with bruises and scraped knees and elbows and bloody noses. They smear blood on the walls and drip it onto the floor, splatter it onto the mirror without meaning to, bringing along with it a sense of vertigo. Characters looking in the mirror may find that they catch sight of something. It's there reflected in the mirror, a shadowy and dark figure in the edge of their vision, but it the moment they look away it disappears, leaving behind only a chill in the air. The mirror room is almost unbearably cold.

It's there reflected in the mirror, a shadowy and dark figure in the edge of their vision, but it the moment they look away it disappears, leaving behind only a chill in the air. The mirror room is almost unbearably cold.
Characters who look in mirrors will see the shadowy figure reflected in it growing closer to them. It's an odd sight to be sure, and the cold air it brings with clings to the skin, but even as they draw close they seem to do no harm. It's only once they're right behind a character that they'll begin to notice it - the cold that clings to them no matter how warm the room, the faint tingling of their skin, the sleepiness that settles in, and the whispers in their ear.
It's faint at first, barely noticeable if not for its persistence, but over time those whispers will grow louder; the coolness on their skin will turn into a cold that chills them down to the bone, and the unrested feeling becomes a constant fatigue and lethargy. The words and tone vary, as do the voices, but each and every one eats into the character. They might speak of a character's insecurities or guilt, or they might leave them with a sinking loneliness, or perhaps they promise the warmth and companionship that a character desires, or any other number of matters that so often tug at the mind.
The figures can be viewed through mirrors. Those with supernatural sight or an adderstone will similarly be able to see them following characters, latching onto them. Items that ward off the supernatural may help, but the only way to truly ward them off is with bonds formed in the school. The figures seem to be warded off by the presence of another person. The cold disappears with the slightest touch, the whispering stops during conversation, and for that time they're given a brief reprieve. But they often seem to come back the moment a person passes by a mirror once more.

✽ The school will be hosting various smaller team building exercise throughout the month which can range from exercises to group projects. There are examples here, so feel free to pick what works best for your goals.
✽ The shadowy figures will appear more frequently where there is blood, fresh or otherwise.
✽ Characters who are isolated will find that they are more susceptible to being followed by the figures, and it may take longer interactions to dispel them completely.
✽ Items from the student shop that ward off supernatural creatures will aide in keeping the shadows from getting too close at first, but their effectiveness will wear off the longer a character is followed. They seem to be most effective when used in conjunction with interactions with others, and especially others who have similar items (i.e. a character with a silver cross and a character with a gold chain.)

[ they're sweet words, something akin to pop rocks that supposed to stand out due to both his profession and who he is— stick to the recess of her mind, always known and aware with its fizzy, and tingling sensation that comes from the confection exploding one after the other. such actions can be electrifying, and midori does so with finesse to ensure that she remembers him; even if it calls for a bit of hands-on experience. ]
With that said, I'll be your nurse. My name is Sou Hiyori.
[ a name that isn't even his name, but one he must hold onto until he's able to rid himself of it once more. the younger sou would have sat in a chair, spinning around until he faced his patient properly, and greeted them with a bubbly personality, but as for midori being older, he's not as cute as his younger self. hence why he wasn't in the office to meet her as soon as she came in. ]
How may I help you?
[ his hand lifts, pulling up her bangs just a bit so he can see her face. ]
no subject
He's smooth, and without a doubt she'll remember him - the cute looks, the soothing voice, and the sweet words that pass through his lips. She'll remember him, though this should be the only time they'll have reason to meet like this over the course of the school year. There's no need to go to the nurse over a scraped knee or elbow, and all other ailments area better treated outside of the school than within it... There's just limitations on how much a school nurse can do.
He brushes her bangs up, and he'll be able to see her. At seventeen, eighteen in a short stretch of time, she's at that age where she's just beginning to shed her youth in earnest. In a matter of a few more years, she'll no doubt fully blossom into a beautiful young woman. Her face is pretty enough, her skin smooth and hair soft, but her most striking feature might be her eyes. Her eyes are brown at a glance, but closer inspection will allow him to see the blue (or perhaps gray) hidden behind shades of amber.
Those wide hazel eyes linger on his face for a few seconds too long, as though she's trying to process something about him, before she grows embarrassed and flicks them off to the side. ]
Oh... It's nice to meet you, Hiyori-san. Please take care of me...
[ She finishes off the formalities, and it at least seems that she's not completely ill-mannered. What was she going to say the issue was? Um... ]
I have a headache...
[ It's not a major complication, but just enough to drop in for a couple ibuprofen pills. It was a lie when she thought about it, but the sudden throbbing in her head tells her that it won't be for long. ]
no subject
A headache, ah... I have something to remedy that.
[ fingers wrap around her hand, and the other rests against the small of her back as he stands behind. leading her forward to a chair so she can rest her legs, and probably her head too after a bit. as long as he gives agency to the wound, and acts accordingly to his profession then he's able to lull anyone into his grasp— thr young, the old, good, bad and ugly. ]
Now... can you remember when it started?
[ subaru also suffered a headache, one that was more of him thinking too hard that brought upon his delimma. ]
And what side it started from?
[ once she's sitting, he'll part from her in order to make his way to the cabinet, pulling the key from around his neck by the namecard to unlock them. ]
no subject
[ Which isn't a lie, it actually just started... She doesn't think that it was Hiyori who gave her a headache, so maybe it's something with the air in the room. It is a little stuffy. But maybe it a good thing, since it keeps her from being a liar... He seems nice enough, so she'd just wind up feeling guilty later. Besides, iIt's nothing that can't easily be fixed, and it does keep her from having the desire to slink off now that he's actually here.
Instead she's ushered to a chair with her hand held, cheeks tinted pink from the sudden close contact, where she sits down, folding her hands in her lap and trying to keep still. She watches him closely, the same way that a kitten might when confronted with a new person - curious, but just a bit cautious. ]
Oh... It was around the top of my head...
[ She places her hand on the top of her head and smooths out her hair by way of demonstration before folding it over the other one. There's a flyaway that pops right back up the moment she's finished. ]
no subject
I feel no bumps or lumps, that's a good thing!
[ no cancerous masses dwelling inside, nor is it the case if it just happened. he recalls helena's problem where the lack of sleep ruined and caused her torturous migraines. it's a pulsing ache that surfaces, likened to a person trapped behind plastic glass and beating over and over to get the attention of someone behind the mirror— it goes unnoticed to others but the one plagued by it, but he won't let this get past him. ]
We had quite the predicament at one point in this school, scary nightmares of people being whisked off into the forest that brought along terrible aches...
[ his concern shows, the way his lips drops into a frown while brows furrow together. if that's the case, then giving her a book to write down her dreams would be the safest move first.
if it's not that... then for what purpose would she need to sneak into this room for? unless she's picked up bad habits from subaru... ]
