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.

[ 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. ]

[sunstead]

[Clamor..................... has a broom.

well ok, he's not actually going to swing it because he's already been here and knows that these bodies can't be touched by normal objects, but... look at his son go. He's here for support, sticking close to Noah like a good partner should.

to anyone who isn't Moriarty, since he seems to have the cat under wraps at the moment and El knows we don't want that thing escaping again:]

Get the mirrors in the bathroom! And make sure that the two [*three] in there are okay! [because he's staying with Noah, in case anything goes horribly wrong on this end]

[adsum]

[ Boy...

The shadow students converge upon Noah after the first handful are cut down, severed shadow limbs falling to the ground and disappearing into smoke but unless their heads are cut off or entire body torn apart too thoroughly for them to keep moving, they keep dragging themselves towards that door on their hands and knees if they have to.

And they fight back.

Not only against Noah's shadows, with nothing but bare hands wrapped around bare throats, but they go for Noah too. They pass right through him. They cannot touch him. But while they're in his space, he feels colder and colder, number and number. ]

[silentabyss]

[Wow, okay, this kind of sucks, but Noah is not the sort who gives up just because he's starting to feel as dead outside as he is inside (haha). Besides, he has people to protect here, not just Clamor but Kokichi and Senku and Stephanie and yes even Moriarty even though he should probably say sorry for earlier.

Noah makes his best attempt at avoiding being in the same space as any of the shadows. He moves fast, a practiced combatant, commanding his own magic to slice and dice. It's a practiced song and dance, an attempt at kiting the shadows away from the bathroom, though he's vigilantly watching that door. Anything that comes near it that's a shadow is going to get attacked in retaliation.

Does he look a little worse for wear after a while of this? Surely. But he's not going to stop, not if he can help it.]

I'll hold them off until you guys get out! Don't touch the shadows!

[closewithnewintown]

We're leaving here together or we don't leave at all! [just. running through the ghosts. like a pacman.]

[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!

[trialbyliar]

[GUESS WHO ALSO HAS NOT BEEN YEETED INTO THE SHADOW REALM UNTIL THIS MOMENT...

The darkness falls and the cold rushes in and Kokichi is still kneeling on the bathroom floor with his hands pressed hard against a bleeding wound, blood pooling around his fingers while Senku tries to fix this mess. It's already a mess, and the banging on the door and ominous warning isn't helping!!!]

We're kinda busy in here!!

[closewithnewintown]

-- Oh, yeah, sure, take your time! It's not like Noah is out here getting eaten by ghosts or anything!

[IMMEDIATELY REGRETTING TRYING TO HELP HIM AT ALL]

[trialbyliar]

The door's not locked! You can just open it, idiot!!

[And if she does, she'll see he's got his hands pressed to a dying girl's fatal injury and won't she feel silly for being mad at him then, huh???]

[sunstead]

[Clamor is still over by Noah and keeping an eye on This Fucking Mess, but he's going to yell over at them since why aren't you all escaping yet]

Whatever you're doing can wait until we're back out of here, break the damn mirrors!

[GIVE BODY-CHAN SURGERY AFTER THEY DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS]

[filialdeception]

[ Well, as soon as he heard Clamor shout 'break the mirrors', Meng Yao would have made sure to find a mirror and break one. If that included having to run into the bathroom to find the closest one, so be it.

But before he did, he'll say: ]

Listen to him, we don't have much time.

[ Annd there he goes, breaking a mirror to get out. ]

[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!

[adsum]

[ Unfortunately, he can't touch the shadow students— but conversely, they cannot touch him either. While he is not as much of a threat as Noah poses himself to be, if he (or anybody else) does get in the way or try to protect Noah in any way, the shadows turn their attention upon him as well with the same results: the most they can do is superimpose themselves over his body, and while they do so, he can feel the warmth and feeling sap away. ]

[improbablenotimpossible]

[His foot was a blur kicking the instant the students got in range, and as he suspected, it passes right through]

-?!

[His eyes shot open - now that feeling? He half-expected it, but it didn't stop it from feeling fucking awful, almost like standing out on a foggy night unprotected]

Don't go near them!

[He'll aim more to avoid further contact, but if the shadows look like they're heading for any of the kids, the Detective will move to intercept them]

[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. ]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Please take care of kitty, he tried so hard]

[unsurely]

[ PLEASE I'M TRYING this cat deserves some happiness too ]

bc rina called me out

[commences]

( pins the cat tail on saihara. )

[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. ]

[nortonnnn]

( norton is only just showing up when the whole scene falls apart quite literally, dragging him into the void with this entire cabal. for his part, at least he knows where he's headed—he makes a beeline directly into the bathroom, ignoring pretty much anyone in the room so that he can close the distance between himself and the body, senku included, with a small kit in hand.

frankly, the blood makes his stomach turn, but he doesn't avert his gaze as he speaks up, crouching down next to them. )

You know what you're doing with this?

[trialbyliar]

[The gloves are pretty pointless at this point where Kokichi is concerned. His hands are already covered in blood, mostly from the girl's wound where he's been keeping pressure on it but also from various cat scratches and bites of his own.

But regardless, he scoots aside to let them get at the body.]

As long as someone knows what they're doing!

[Please, he's tanking his evil supreme leader reputation so hard here, trying to save this girl's life. At least let it be worth something.]

[kingofscience]

[ He only looks up for a few moments, after hearing people bang on the door from the outside, warning the three on the inside that they're on a time crunch.

Shoot.

And then Norton quickly rushes in, handing off a small kit to him. The scientist quickly fumbles with it a bit as he opens it, nerves getting to him slightly, but he slowly takes a deep breath and calms himself. A scalpel, and a few other survival items? Norton just earned 10 billion points in his book! ]

Yeah, I do. Thanks for this, it's going to help out a lot.

[ Senku steels himself, calming shaking hands before doing anything- he didn't want to make anything worse. Focus, Senku, you can do this! You've done surgery on someone before. In fact, that same person is waiting for you to get back to your world and save them.

After Senku finds the deepest wounds, he starts to work on those. ]

In an ideal world, we'd have an IV drip or something, but I doubt this place has anything like that.

[ Don't mind him, he's just trying to make conversation while he works so he isn't completely wigged out. Soon, some of the more deeper wounds are closed up with stitches. ]

[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. ]
