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)

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.

[He quickly supports the body and nudges it back so it can't fall out onto the floor, but as he touchers her and feels the warmth he frowns, and quickly grabs for her wrist to feel for a pulse.]

[adsum]

[ There is also a pulse, weak but there, and she doesn't respond at all when he moves her body back inside the case, though it may be worth putting that cloth to use because the wound on her torso starts seeping blood with all the movement and from the location of the wound alone, Kokichi would be able to tell that there will be a lot of blood forthcoming if he doesn't staunch it quickly.

In between all that, if the wrist he grabs is the left one, he'll feel that pulse over a single tally mark scratched into the skin, edges still red and raw. ]

[trialbyliar]

[Oh fuck.

He rushes to staunch the wound, tearing off some cloth to press in a bundle to the injury and then a longer strip to wrap it in place with as much pressure as possible. And yet even more, hurriedly trying to layer enough fabric on and around the wound to keep any blood from dripping.

Once it's as secure as he can get it, he unfolds the last of the fabric bolt on the ground and carefully pulls her out of the case to lay on it, so he can drag the whole thing out of the auditorium with her on it. Just, y'know...trying to avoid the worst case scenario if any blood does spill.]

[adsum]

[ Kokichi does what he can and avoids getting blood on the floor, having to work quickly because even with pressure on the wound, the cloth isn't going to hold forever once it gets saturated. He nearly makes it to the door (whyyyy did this case have to be all the way in the back of the room) when the black cat makes its appearance, standing in the doorway and staring up at Kokichi with its wide golden eyes, fur bristled and back arched. ]

[trialbyliar]

[Goddammit, cat. He stares it down for a moment, but he doesn't have much time to think or mess with this cat. Getting a good grip on the fabric, he rushes to throw himself and the body beyond the doorway. If this damn cat decides to claw him up in the process then he'll just have to deal with it, as long as he can get himself and this girl out of the room before any blood spills.]

[adsum]

[ He makes it but just barely, the cat launching itself at Kokichi the moment he brushes past it through the door— it goes for his arm rather than his ankles, with both claws and teeth in trying to get Kokichi to drop the body. It'd be biting through fabric, though, so ymmv on how much damage a skinny, albeit furious and feral, little cat can do. ]

[trialbyliar]

[Like hell is he dropping the body. Kokichi endures the biting and scratching – not too terrible except for where it gets at his hands, and it's far from the worst he's ever been hurt – and heads straight for the bathroom right next door. He pulls the girl's body inside and then swats at the cat as roughly as he has to to get it to back off just long enough to slam the door shut between them.]

[adsum]

[ The hissing and the scratching continues even after the cat's shut out, and it even makes an attempt to squeeze itself under the bathroom door like it's able to with some of the looser doors in the school. Better shove something down there to fill the gap and keep it out, but at least with the noise the cat's making, there's a chance somebody might hear what's going on even if they don't check their PDA. ]

[trialbyliar]

[He strips off his jacket and shoves it in the gap. Fuck off, kitty, he's trying to save a life here.

And as soon as he has a moment to breathe (and wads up even more fabric to soak up any blood from the body or scratches and bites on his hands), he pulls out his PDA and sends out a quick message.]

[adsum]

[ Kitty hisses and spits. You fuck off with its body!!!!

The body looks like it'll hold for now, at least, as long as he keeps a hand on the wound to increase the pressure and wraps more fabric around whenever the previous layer soaks through. She's still breathing, and her pulse is still there, but he won't be able to sit around forever.

Getting blood on the floor... it would stop time, returning him to the exact same moment once he exits the void school, and it may or may not be worth the risk with the state of the person next to him.

Tick, tock. ]

[trialbyliar]

[It's not something he's aiming for. He's a bit preoccupied just trying to keep one hand pressed tight to the girl's wound while replying to messages with the other.

Buuut.... Well. If a drop of blood happens to seep out of all the soaked fabric he's pressing on and hits the floor, then so be it.]

[sunstead]

[Meanwhile, that cat sure is loud... so shortly after Kokichi puts up his network post, help finally arrives.

With a broom.

He can't provide medical help but yes, Clamor will fight this cat if he has to, there is obviously something going on here and he's not just gonna stand around and let this cat bully people. Though he is mostly trying to push the cat away and hoping it'll give up at first, since he's not too keen on actually hurting an animal...]

[adsum]

[ hhhhhhhhhhh

The cat growls and spits at Clamor, pausing in its hissing to sneeze when the broom gets too close because the bristles are so dry and dusty, but far from being shooed away, it darts towards Clamor and tries to bite at his ankles, claws pulling down at his socks so it can get at bare skin.


Inside the bathroom, the cloth around the body's torso soaks through, blood slowly gathering at an edge of the fabric outside of Kokichi's view. ]

[sunstead]

[This is not according to plan— yeah okay no, he is jumping the hell away from these biting efforts, but at least now he's taking this cat fight a little more seriously... even if it's because he's the one being attacked now, awesome.

Where is the backup for the backup??]

[kingofscience]

[ With the sounds getting ever louder, he figured he was headed in the right direction. However, the sight of Clamor going toe to toe with a cat was not something he was expecting.

...Well! Not gonna ruin his day.

He's got his bag with him, inside it is simple first aid materials from going into the nurse's office and just sleeping post-energy drink rush. He calls out past the door. ]

Ouma-san, I'm here!

[ The moment there's an opening, he's flooring it past Clamor and the cat and going for the door. ]

[trialbyliar]

[Shortly after he put up his post, the angry cat sounds were joined by a whole host of other noises. Kokichi's not sure what the hell's going on out there, and he can't really leave this girl alone long enough to check.

But he hears the voice calling out over the nonsense, at least.]

It's not locked!! But if you let the cat in I'm gonna be suuuper annoyed!

[He's trying to sound like his normal, lighthearted self, but he clearly sounds a bit shaken.]

[adsum]

[ The blood beads at the corner of the cloth. You know what would be really fun? If the blood touches the floor at the exact moment Senku opens the door and everyone gets thrown into void school (: ]

[silentabyss]

[Comedy aside, Noah's gonna just... not linger around watching Clamor fight for his life against a fucking CAT and in fact try to help because at this rate Clamor is going to die to cat-related injury which is Fucking Ridiculous.

So he just sort of... slides in from where he's been standing in the hallway like "lol get rekt nerd" and summon a shadow cat to come and try to spook the not-shadow cat away. God help both of them.]

[closewithnewintown]

[steph is also Here because if kokichi really isn't lying then she wants to see him get beat up by a cat.]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[...Well this wasn't what he was expecting when he saw that call, pinching the bridge of his nose]

Why are you fighting the cat?

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Hey what's going on in WHO UPSET THE BLACK CAT?!]

What the-?! What in the world - why is Blackie so upset?!

[Moriarty did you name the cat?? you've hung out with it once???]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[Curious, but he says not a word]

[closewithnewintown]

-- Oh, no fair, nobody told me we named the kitties! [BECAUSE SHE ALREADY PICKED OUT NAMES THAT CAT IS ROBBIE AND SHE LOVES HIM]

[silentabyss]

I dunno, but it's attacking Clamor, so...

[said the weird kid using shadow magic to try and scARE IT OFF, LIKE, THAT'S NOT NORMAL SHIT NOAH, WHY DO YOU SOUND SO NONCHALANT]

[adsum]

[ The black cat puffs up when it sees the shadow cat, torn between running away and sticking to its guns and so it makes the executive decision of running away from the shadow cat to sink its claws into whoever's ankles are the closest, like the shouting would scare the shadow cat away. ]
