05/10 Charity Auction

On Monday morning, each glass case in the auditorium has been fitted with a small scanner similar to the one on the vending machines, at which one's PDA can be pressed against to bid a chosen number of merit points. Bidding is open all day, discouraged during class time and so the bidding rush happens at lunch and after school until closing at 5:45 when students are set to start leaving for home. Bids are anonymous while in process— or, as anonymous as can be while staring daggers over your friend's shoulder daring them to outbid you— but the winning bids and bidders are posted at the front of the auditorium at the end of the day.

Among the list are:

Item One free investigation by the Ultimate Detective Handmade blanket One free consultation with the Criminal Consultant Sick backflip lessons Self-defense lessons Studying sessions Boyfriend with Hajun Yeon for a day Pair of carved wooden birds Boyfriend with Natsume Sakasaki for a week GameBoy Color with Power Quest, Monopoly, and Pokemon TCG Nerf gun Cursed chalk Dinner with the principal Body-chan (not actually listed as Body-chan)

Winning bid 25 20 20 10 10 10 40 20 40 35 25 15 40 99

Winner M Arisu G Tanaka M Arisu N Handa T Sato Y Ueno C Kudo R Arata C Kudo S Ishigami N Yashiro H Arisu S Ishigami K Ouma

Overall, the auction raised over ћ854,000 for the Save A Brain Foundation. Good job! You rock. Winners may pick up with items at any time during the week, after which anything leftover will be donated and the auditorium will be cleaned out by Saturday evening.

Body-chan

Rights to the body belong to Kokichi. The case as a whole cannot physically be moved away from the wall or out of the auditorium, and the lid will not open unless he taps his PDA, screen unlocked via fingerprint, against the sensor. He does not have to open it today, or even after time is up at the end of the week and the body and case will be removed if yet unclaimed— as long as the body has been in the case, it has never changed from appearing to be at the brink of death.

...If Meng Yao looked for plastic gloves, would he be able to find any?

Re: QUESTIONS

[improbablenotimpossible]

Oh, before I forget - does the white hair in the case belong Kokichi or can someone yoink it?

[hatesdeerstalkers]

So, hypothetically, what happens if someone decided to stay behind in the void after the body-chan thing? If he's not threatening towards the shadows, will they leave him alone? where do they go after being thwarted of their prize?

Tell me the shadow lore basically or does moriarty have to run for another area with a mirror to break.

BODY-CHANNNN

[trialbyliar]

[Kokichi waits for a time when no one else is around to go pick up his "prize". Last thing he wants is other crowding around and potentially messing with something. There's no avoiding everyone knowing that he was the one who won, not with the winning bids posted publicly, but he can deal with that later.

He comes prepared. There's a bolt of thick cloth he nicked from the home ec room to wrap the body in if needed – it probably wouldn't be good for the school to get all bloodyfucky while he's in the gym. Well, at least if he fucks up, no one else is in the auditorium to get voided with him.

He's spent enough time staring at the body. There's no reverence or hesitation this time, just beelining for the case and hitting the sensor.]

[adsum]

[ The sensor lights up when he touches his PDA to it, bank of merit points drained and in its place the lock clicks softly and the front of the case swings ajar, the body falling forward as it does and if Kokichi tries to catch her, he will find that she is warm. ]

[adsum]

[ Sometimes... things happen...

Sometimes you're inside the bathroom trying to save a person's life, and you can't do that without unwrapping the cloth wrapped around her torso like bandages so you can take a better look at the wound, and no matter how careful you are at placing the bloody cloth in the trash or elsewhere not on the floor, sometimes a drop of blood falls and touches the ground anyways.

Sometimes you're valiantly fighting cats just outside of this bathroom door, gloves on your hands and armed with fleece while people are screaming all around you with this cat hissing and spitting and freaking out at the dark shape that gets dropped over its head that it lashes out even harder, sometimes it nicks your wrist and you don't notice because you're too busy trying to get the fleece wrapped securely that you don't notice the drop of blood that falls and touches the ground.

Sometimes you are not-so-innocent bystanders just standing and watching this all happen, and the world plunges into darkness, the air is cold and the black cat is still hissing, purrito collapsing as the cat turns into shadow no different from Noah's conjuring, and the halls that were previously devoid of all other students?

The halls start to fill with bodies, black and intangible, slowly converging on the bathroom to phase inside and retrieve what is theirs. ]

[silentabyss]

[Okay you know what NO.

He's done bullying Moriarty, he's done trying to fight a cat with another cat. As soon as the world plunges into darkness, Noah is On It, going from being an absolute dickhead to the most serious person in the room in about .05 seconds.

And maybe he's been a bit itchy without a fight to get into because holy shit this kid, the shy kid who can't speak to a real person ever in his life, immediately pushes into the throngs of shadowy bodies to make his own shadowy bodies to fight them off. No. Nuh-uh. Not today, shadowy bullshit, you fucked with the wrong kid. ]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[ ~When you try your best but you don't succeeeeed....~

Moriarty just kind of...stops, still holding the fleece in his arms, blinking once or twice as shadows burst out from both the hallways and Noah and chaos inevitably errupts all around him.

...And, of course, his first instinct is to merely get out of the way and watch what happens - which he attempts to. He's not a hero, nor should he even try to be one - and if it's for the sake of someone else who he doesn't even know? Then he has no desire to try and help.

It's cruel, but so is he - and he'd be more interested in seeing what exactly the Shadows wish to do than save whoever it is.]

[closewithnewintown]

[hey guess who is ten years old and has pink hair and did not know they could be sent into the fucking shadow realm until just this moment.

the same person who's booking it towards the door, having taken her resin knife out of her jacket pocket like that's going to help at all, and just starts fucking banging her fist on that door.]

Senku! Kokichi! There's [uh] evil ghost things coming!

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He has no idea if he can even affect the shadows as he is now, but his response was instant, from irritated and baffled to controlled energy, pivoting on his heel as he slides into a stance, hip twisting towards the direction where the shadow came from, arms raised almost like a boxer, but all his weight is settling on his back leg.

Sherlock can't let things just happen]

Whatever you two are doing, you better do it fast!

[unsurely]

[ Meanwhile... I was waiting for this so Shuichi can be useless.

What does this scene look like from the outside? You know, like when you arrive too late to get drawn in by the vertigo and you're like... touches ground. Something terrible happened here but it's somebody else's problem -- everyone else can go to void Yogen and fight shadows I just want to know what the cat is doing once they're gone. Please it's been through enough. ]

[kingofscience]

[ The shift happens so quickly, as the world turns darker and more foreboding, but Senku can't afford to worry about that right now! Quickly, he opens up his bag and puts on a pair of safety gloves, scooting the bag over to Ouma so he gets his own pair. He starts to inspect the body, making sure pressure is applied the best he can while he works.

He's trying to find the deeper wounds and see if there's anything to be done about those. It may not be the best thing in the world at the moment, but he does have some spools of thread and a needle, should stitches need to be implemented. ]

[loyalbreed]

[ Well he is a Knight and there is a dead body betwixt the scene. Noah is kitting shadows, the group attempts to salvage what they can of the situation. As everyone has hand over the matter, Gawain at least does what he can for the situation given. More or less, especially as a Servant whoms existence lives for the sake of those who are actually alive.

He may be trying to use a pole, or the sword like object Ritsuka gave him to fend anything off. Needless to say hes pretty sure the shits gunna go right through the black things. At least they are distracted. ]

How much longer will it take to patch her up? Where need we move?

[ This would be his first time within the void, so he has no idea how to get out of it either. ]

Before everything happened

[improbablenotimpossible]

[He's going to take that white hair left behind - examining to see just how long the hair is, but he suspects he may need to wait until he has access to a microscope to get a better look at it]

[adsum]

It's about two inches long, frayed at one end to suggest it was broken rather than pulled straight out of the hair shaft, so this isn't its entire length.

ONCE EVERYONE GETS BACK OUT OF VOID SCHOOL...

[sunstead]

[Now that this mess is over with, everyone is back to... the exact same moment it started, except there's some blood on the floor now.

Cat status: purrito'd. There is an ongoing surgery in the bathroom. Everyone who hasn't been to the Shadow Realm before is probably confused by what just happened, and anyone walking in on this is... probably also confused. Clamor still has a broom.]

... Did everyone make it back? [head count? someone check on the surgery crew? maybe hold the cat down before it escapes again??]

[closewithnewintown]

... Was any of that real? [this is a legitimate question not just being philosophical she literally can't tell.]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[




Moriarty isn't here so uh, someone's gotta grab that purrito]

[improbablenotimpossible]

I believe so...?

[His lips pursed thoughtfully, glancing around them before looking at the floor with a low sigh. There was something about what happened... no, focus on the immediate situation, and he would have time to properly sort it out into a proper hypothesis]

[obsessiveness]

[ there's suddenly a flurry of activity in the air, proving izumi right that it's not a good idea for him to go to and fro between this world and the next. because shit like this would inevitably happen by the time he comes round the corner and encounter this other ragtag bunch of misfits. ]

--What are you guys doing with the cat?

[ this is LITERALLY why he has the horse trinket that repels the likes of those cats on him at all times, they're Nothing but trouble ]

[silentabyss]

[Noah's sitting on the floor with one knee tented and the other leg sticking out in front of him, arm atop the bent leg, trying to look casual as hell despite the fact he looks like he might collapse from fatigue. It's fine just let him be.]

I'm never going into the void again. No one else get hurt.

[A FATHER ARRIVES]

[wolfetracks]

( given that the entire noise of angry cat and fumbling adults and children was very hard to ignore, sidney has arrived on the scene several minutes late, absolutely confused and kind of mad about it. noah's on the floor collapsed, is that the case-body from the auction in the bathroom? what the fuck is going on.

with a deep sigh, sidney presses a hand to his face, mindful of his glasses. )

Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?

BODY-CHANNNN pt2

[adsum]

[ At some point during the surgery the girl starts to rouse, hands cold to the touch but sweat beads on her forehead— a fever, or maybe it's the pain of having her flesh and skin pulled back together and sewn without any sort of anesthesia or ...sanitary medical tools... or replacing all the blood she lost and this last bit is what she's really feeling when she's had enough of drowning in a haze of pain but she can't even roll over and get away from whoever- whatever- is touching her and

cutting her? stabbing her?

she can't tell. her arms feel like lead. she clumsily grabs for the glint of light- the bloodied scalpel- and makes to drive it into the arm or leg of whoever has the pleasure of sitting next to her left side. ]

[trialbyliar]

[Kokichi's a little distracted by the impromptu surgery going on here. That's his only excuse for not dodging the stabbing entirely.

Luckily, her strike is clumsy, and his attention was on her from the start, given...y'know, she is the subject of said surgery. He's just slightly delayed in spotting the movement of her arm before it suddenly strikes at him, and the tip of the scalpel catches him in the leg before he reels back and catches her wrist with his free hand. The other's still busy keeping pressure on her chest wound, so he turns his leg to keep the bead of blood from dripping to the floor. They don't need more of that shadow realm shit right now.

A shaky laugh escapes him, either shock or maybe relief.]

Jeez, what kind of way is that to thank someone for saving your life? How ungrateful!

whenever things have settled down

[futurebullets]

[It's hard to make sense of what's going on aside from catching snatches of conversation once everyone's returned, but Hinata resolves himself to just having to play catch-up once again. After Cat is taken care of (???) and Hinata has hopefully been bandaged up (??????), he'll wait for whatever seems like the most opportune moment to catch a certain person's attention.]

Hey, Ouma... Can I talk to you for a second?

[trialbyliar]

[Kokichi is not looking great, his very scratched-up hands newly bandaged by one of their medics, the ends up his sleeves still damp with Body-chan's blood. He's taking a moment to breathe as their medical team finishes up, getting their patient hurried off to the nurse's office or something. Leaning against the wall outside the bathroom, Kokichi glances up and immediately affects a smile.]

Hm? What's up, Hinata-chan? Are you done playing with the cat?
