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 (
