OOC UPDATES
Game status
✽
The player cap has been removed. We will no longer max out at 30 players. Applications will remain open at all times.
✽
AC has been lowered from 20 comments to 10 comments or a top level and 5 comments.
✽
If you have made any major changes to the setting, please let a mod know. If your character has contributed to any changes in setting that would be noticed by other characters, please reply to this comment to let us know. Please note that minor changes are reset at the end of every school day.
✽
May will be a no murder mystery month. This hold may continue past the current month. Character death may still occur, and we encourage players to explore other options for player plots. When murders resume, we they will be evaluated on a case by case basis to see how to best run it.
✽
A new series of missions is planned for May 13th. In order to progress the plot and allow characters to engage with the setting, we will be hosting a series of IC "missions", similar to the series of events that took place in August 2021. These will be a collection of mod-guided threads that lead to wide-scale changes in the game setting. There will be a total of three groups with three people per group. Please see below for sign ups.
Game updates
✽
Our game pages have undergone an overhaul. However, the taken, bonus activity and locations pages have received a full revamp. Please let me know if there are any errors.
✽
We have added a game lore page to the navigation. As we move away from an NPC focus, the NPC contact page has been retooled as a summary of game lore up to the current month for ease of review for players new and old alike. Moving forward, new NPCs can be contacted through this page.
✽
The student store has been overhauled. We have removed redundant items and maintained those which we believe will be most useful to characters going forward. Items that have been removed may be kept or exchanged for the updated equivalent.
✽
Plot clues no longer need to be bought through bonus activity. We are currently focusing on both tying up loose ends with existing plots, and making engagement with the plot more accessible. Please contact a mod if there's a plot point or player plot that you wish to pursue.
IC UPDATES
✽
Weather update. April showers bring may flowers! May will see warm and sunny days with scattered showers. The plant life is in full bloom, and the first signs of summer are here.
✽
The void has expanded. It now encompasses the encompass the entire right wing of all floors, including the locker area including the rooftop. Throughout the month it will continue to expand, beginning to encompass pieces of the left wing.
✽
The school is cold. As mentioned in the April update, the chill is more obvious in some areas than others, and the mirror room is frigid.
✽
All mirrors are cold to the touch. The larger the mirror, the colder it is, and those in the mirror room are cold enough to cause frostbite. Characters may also occasionally see handprints or fog on the mirror, as though something were pushing against it; or perhaps they'll see a flash of the other school, or even their home world - whatever the mirror may offer them, it's gone the moment they blink. It's probably just their imagination.
✽
The shadow students remain in the school. The whispers seem to have quieted down, but they may still latch onto characters who are left isolated and slowly drain them. Those who have the ability to see spirits will notice that they've increased in volume. The largest concentration appears to be in the mirror room, bathrooms, library, and auditorium.
✽
The sound of gears turning can be heard in the clock tower. It seems to be coming from somewhere under the floorboards, and it is loudest where they've been pulled up.
✽
The cabinets in the music room are now unlocked. Various instruments can be found inside of them.
✽
The anatomical model has returned to the science lab. It is impossibly heavy and cannot be moved by any means. If one is quiet, they might think that they can hear it laugh or weep, sigh or whistle, though that should be impossible. Those who visit the lab regularly will now find it oddly to be more inviting, almost as though they're being welcomed.
✽
There will be additional updates in the event post. Please stay tuned.
PLAYER UPDATES
Reminders
✽
If you have plot points or clues of particular interest to you, or that your character is currently pursuing on an IC level, please let us know so that we can include these pieces as we map out the endgame direction.
✽
Please ensure that you are not utilizing other players' characters without permission. This includes spreading personal details and issuing "warnings" to characters. This is a collaborative hobby, and we ask that everyone be considerate of each other and their character development and relationship opportunities. When in doubt, assume that permission is needed.
Player feedback
Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to ask players for their OOC feedback on where they would like the game to go from here. One major topic of interest is how you wish for the game to proceed, including the pacing (i.e. a quick wrap up versus steadily working through the plot,) and plot points that your character is following up on or that you wish to see resolved. We hope to move forward considering what players hope to see from the game and its ending in mind.
If you would feel more comfortable sharing your feedback in a private setting, feel free to post a screened comment to our mod contact page or reach out to Bunny (

Plot points I'd like to follow up on/see resolved: I'm going to copy paste my list of possible plot clues things I had stored up;
"What happened to the blue laser pointer Shin lost in the mirror world? How do we defeat the wolf/have a wolf fight round 2? What's a hint of a way to a good ending? What’s up with the yellow-eyed people? What’s up with the void shadow people? What’s up with the blue flame? Is there a way to stop/slow the void besides human sacrifice? What's in the Student Council Room filing cabinets? The back room of the store? What DO the tuition rankings mean? What's at the co-ordinates Alice has? What was up with those paintings in the January Voidschool?"
Some of these are out of date (sidney is in retirement, and the forest has plenty wolves) or looking like the most recent mission will cover which I'm eyes emoji about. The filing cabinets, the back room of the store, and the Alice co-ordinates are the ones Shin is IC most interested in pursuing in particular. I think at some point he and Inaba were going to hunt down who Staff on the network were but that fell by the wayside.

- The differentiation between transfer students vs regular students needs to be defined. Why are they different in the first place even though they're all dead?
- There was mention in an NPC thread (here) about how something/somebody called for their souls even if they might not need to be in Yogen specifically, so finding out what actually did that would be really good.
- Also +1 on the yellow eye people/possession and tuition.
- Why are timeloops and memory loss happening in the first place?
- Same goes for the big question of why is the school encouraging murder in the first place, was there some sort of instigator that warped the school?

ANYWAY my own plot points I wanna see more about that haven't already been said, may or may not edit this later when its not like 4am
- REALLY REALLY wanna know what the deal was w\ the plot back in December aka phone squad... since we know now that the whole reason they reached out to us was because some missing/dead transfer characters left weird notes for them to find, and I guess assumed we knew what was up (I still think this is hilarious but also what are your secrets crying)
- Why is there no sound after midnight and how do we fix that? since similar conditions have been removed by investigating NPC memories. ditto for the principal's office being a freezer!
- i demand anatomychan lore
- WHY is the void like that... like besides just the fact that it's growing, why is it there at all. is this our fault because of aiko, sighs, make komaeda fix it if it's his fault for killing stuco pres
- 2nd floor right wing bathroom next to the cooking room lore (i'm kidding) (maybe) (but like if there WAS lore there.........)
no subject
- as for plot points, i am particularly super interested in an ic level on shit related to the established yet elusive school staff, the way tally marks relate to the plot — do they serve as a benefit or a detriment to have more or less, especially considering there was a bonus ac benefit at one time to erase them? also yeah the void stuff has been up in the air for a while and i think there should be more detail on it in general especially since it seems to be an engulfing threat. more focus on what's going on with the time loops and dead students. the entire affair when i first joined with the different colored eyed students dueling as well as various corpse investigations focusing on eyeball color still has no explanation.
- i really like the mirror plot and i'm looking forward to seeing where those points go!
- also i think in terms of class rankings and such considering how bare bones some of the classes are and how it's virtually impossible for some classes to catch up to the more established ones, i think we should consolidate so that there are less classes.
thank you for all of your hard work & all you guys do! a lot of the updates you've preemptively done are fantastic and i appreciate it. :3

AddDynamo!!!!Canon: Elsword
CR: Add (
Dynamo is an array of (currently 4/6) shoe-sized, diamond-shaped drones that look like this. They can do fun stuff like zip around and carry people like a cool hoverchair/hovershoes and make holoscreens and shock people do ???? vague sci-fi things that i make up as i go along tbh. but! also!!! they are shaped like a friend.
As of late April, their original AI was reconnected after x years of being offline, so they are both very excited to be Awake and Conscious and also extremely distressed about Add being dead :') please be kind to them while they figure out their identity and how to deal w\ not being attached to Add.
Plans: tbh I was planning to just drop properly and either bring in a temp char or take a break entirely while Add was waiting to respawn but everyone got so attached to Dynamo I was like oh. well okay. so now they are here and i'm gonna ponder their issues while they expose all of Add's deepest, darkest secrets, like the fact that he cares about other people and wants to make friends. please ask Dynamo about all the lifehacks to calming Add down and placating him this is valuable data right here.
Dynamo also wants to be helpful!!! since Add isn't around to tell them what to do and they don't like Not having a task... they want to help... let them help and also protect their friends that are nice to them, they'll be very sad if anyone gets hurt : (
sidenote that I'm probably gonna sit out of the mission stuff unless there's still an open spot when the deadline comes around, Add has done enough insane shit so Dynamo can sit back and be supportive of everyone when they return. please be safe or they will be sad : ((

Len's singular gal!
Feel free to add me at
himeko inaba / kokoro connect
Canon: Kokoro Connect -- she's from the end of the light novels, so if you want to avoid spoilers for that, let me know.
CR: Inaba herself is a bubbling mass amount of trust issues, in spite of having overcome a lot of it in her original canon. But unfortunately for everyone, Yogen happened, and now she basically struggles to trust anyone and finds herself really uncomfortable with a lot of the transfer students. Her hobbies deal with analysis and computers, as she had plans on majoring in computers, information technology and engineering in college.

minor addendum;

Character: Shin Tsukimi, going by Sou Hiyori
Canon: Your Turn To Die
CR:
Shin's been having a bit of a time of it lately given he's finally been hit with the close CR bomb so this may manifest as an increased hoveringness and friendliness question mark, especially as he tries to patch up CR (success not guaranteed) and avoid being drained dry by his shadow self. Otherwise he's started to work out an equilibrium of his shop shift, schooling, teaching and hobbies that isn't murdering him, so there's that.
He had a mental breakdown recently and while he's sort of patched himself up enough to function all the machinery's still jittering a little and it'll be interesting to see what happens there. He has a bottle of painkillers for his still-healing injuries that is conceptually tormenting him like the alcohol in Disco Elysium.
As always, he teaches a compsci class and is findable in the gardening, gaming, and robotics and programming clubs, as well as his homeroom of 3-E. He works night shift at the student store, drop by and say hi!
Plans: Hoo boy head touch. First things first, all going well Shin will be bundling up and doing the mirrors mission on the 13th. I also want to actually do stuff with Shin AI like I promised.
This month, when depending on what happens plotwise, Shin'll be gaining Alice as a new roommate and possibly having a sleepover with Helena and Sara. Depending on the raffle results he may or may not be stuck with someone by a collar, which will be fun. His scarf needs repairing as well after getting all ripped up :' ) help him.
Mostly I'll be seeing how things go and hitting up other people's plot posts!
Recent posts or toplevels: It's not recent per se but I will backtag the dreamscape and shop thread forever.

amity ♡ nene yashiro
no subject
Character: Nene Yashiro
Canon: Toilet-bound Hanako-kun
CR:
Nene Yashiro is a teenage girl cursed by a mermaid who's been very badly effected by losing her Found Family rapidly and in increasingly awful ways. This has rendered her selectively mute, and a little reclusive- especially in the wake of Hinata's disappearance and Add's death- though she's still trying to ensure people are fed, cared for and warm.
She leads the Gardening Club and is part of the mostly NPC cooking club as a way to get more resources for the students trapped at the school, and is happy to teach people how to cook, garden or sew. Since December she's been teaching herself to knit (with Subaru!!! I don't know if Subaru's still doing that though, I am not Peace and I've also been #dying since January.) and she's just! Trying to do her best!!
also nene is sharing a room with noah, her boyfriend, now so. i'm sure nosy folks have noticed that.
Plans:
In regards to her selective mutism, she super does not speak in large crowds or groups- as evidenced by when she got Shin to read her evidence list last murder meeting- but in one on one or even small groups of trusted and loved CR, she's been talking more even if sometimes it's a struggle. If you'd like to work on your character being someone she talks around, there's that as an option!
Nene Yashiro still Zero Tally though with how I've signed up for the missions I don't think that's going to last so. Bunny. I'm coming for you in a second about what the deets about this is finally. I refuse to let this year keep killing me it's been four fucking months LET ME LIVE--
Since I got Covid half-way through the month, a lot of my plans fell through so I'm willing to backdate anything and everything, and I'll be returning to those old threads soon as well.

NPCs
CR: A first year student from long ago who was enrolled for less than two months before her soul was shattered and a fragment of her soul was bound to a floppy disk. Through the efforts of several students, she was given a name, a body, and the functionalities of an AI, including wheelies installed in the bottoms of her feet, laser beam eyes, and the ability to sink and float like a submarine. As her AI runs on only a fragment of her soul, she has no memory of her previous self, but is very excited about mundane experiences, especially those involving the senses.
Plans: Rei Bao will be written out by the beginning of next month as part of the process of phasing out Ori's minor NPCs. If characters close to her would like to run a plot in which she is shut down due to some issue with her system (a virus, etc,) please let me know. Please feel free to come to me with any ideas. Otherwise, she will disappear later in the month.
Character: Yumemi Minazuki
CR: A student in class 1-D. An earnest and straightforward girl who falls in love easily. She seems to attract odd occurrences, and claims that she uses fortune telling to tell how the day will go. Computer Science is one of her electives, and it seems that she was one of the students who was saved by transfer students' efforts after failing her final. Unlike the other native students, she has hazel eyes.
Plans: I'll be tagging around with her! She had taken over the student store while Komaeda was busy in a coma, so feel free to have noticed that. Let me know if you want anything in particular.

alice yabusame
Character: Alice Yabusame
Canon: Your Turn To Die
CR: April was repeatedly not good for Alice's heart, but towards the end, it looked up, and he's relieved that some people are accounted for now, if not necessarily fine. Following up on that will probably the focus at the moment.
Plans: Everything already covered in plotting discussions so far?! Around early May, prior to the missions, Alice will most likely still be worried about Komaeda and assisting with any watching over him. At some point during May, he'll move into Moon 1 because people being alone is unwise.
If anyone wants any custom starters this month, let me know, and it will be done. I'll also continue to respond to any existing threads.
Recent posts or toplevels: These are from April, but I'm happy to backtag anything if anyone still wants to tag in or handwave that any specific bonding activities took place, such as karaoke etc.
