006 | High School Debut

Who: Everyone!
What: Substitute teaching
When: All day April 5
Where: A large public school in Tokyo
Summary: There are too many teachers sick and the Far Shore residents need to help fill in!



For some reason or another, many teachers have gotten sick just as the new school year is starting! In a panic, the school is seeking out every substitute teacher they can find, which is still not enough, and so the gods have to step in as reinforcements. And the Heavens are insisting on Far Shore residents helping strictly because this sickness seems so darn suspicious.

So anyone who looks old enough is being asked to step in as a substitute teacher and anyone who looks young enough is being asked to blend in as a new student, all to help the school and find out what exactly is causing this mysterious illness plaguing only the teachers of this school. There are many subjects open to teach and all Far Shore residents are expected to act as if they properly belong in this school while conducting their investigation. That means you'll have to teach properly or attend classes, depending on which role you've taken on.

Some gods might even find it useful to try and get information out of students by possessing one of their own, therefore guaranteeing the trust of the others around them. It's all up to you how you choose to investigate!

Newcomers will find the following note in their pockets as they are transferred to the school:

Greetings and apologies for the strange introduction.

I am sure you have many questions and concerns, but you have appeared at a very inconvenient time. Please attempt to help us, if you can, and we will reward you to the best of our abilities.

If you have any questions, you can seek out the counselor. Too many students underestimate what a good counselling session can do towards helping to alleviate their fears and uncertainties.

Kindest regards,
☼ Amaterasu ☼




Classes

Being a big school, there are dozens of different subjects available. As teachers, you can practically teach anything you would like to, and as students you are facing a constant stream of completely different kinds of information. Maybe the school needs to tone it down a bit on how many different subjects they offer...

Hallways

The hallways are always a great place to mingle and get to know the other students in the school. You'll see all sorts in the hallways, ranging from the beautiful girls being followed by their fanboys all the way to the delinquents who are promptly making their way away from the classrooms for the rest of the day. Hopefully somebody around here will be able to give you a heads up as to what's going on.

Lunch

Lunchtime is the easiest time to gather gossip and information. Whether you are staying in the classroom with a bento or heading to the cafeteria to wrestle for some bread or spending your lunch in the faculty room with the rest of the not-sick teachers, you will find that both the students and the faculty are more prone to chatting during lunch. And a lot of them talk about a curse laid on the school because of the late principal...

Counselling

Surprisingly enough, there is a white-robed shinki in the counselling office of the school, and the golden chrysanthemum of Amaterasu can be found on her tunic as well as on the door to her small personal office. Oddly, all of the other students and faculty keep passing the door by, but the counselling shinki simply continues to smile gently all the same.

FINAL BOSS

Turns out there is something causing the illness in the teachers, and it's an exceedingly large ayakashi, one so large that no single god could possibly take it down. You'll have to all work together to weaken it enough for the rending to work on it.

The battle for the FINAL BOSS will be posted on the OOC date of July 17, all threads involving destroying him should go there when it is posted. All other events leading up to the FINAL BOSS battle should slowly build to figuring out that an ayakashi is at work.



In Summary:
  • Blend in
  • Make sure to go to class
  • Don't forget lunch!
  • Investigate the illness
  • Seek counselling if you need it
  • Defeat the FINAL BOSS
  • Have fun~

[ Stick out? You mean, like somebody with a youkai/human hybrid's bright red coloring? How about when that somebody turns around, and it's that face from a dozen newspaper articles (and probably twice that in reports to Her Ladyship)? Sha Gojyo is here, now, in the faculty lounge, shoveling somebody's stolen lunch into his face (sorry to whoever brought the leftover salmon -- it was really good!) like a man who hasn't been fed in weeks.

So long as any sidlers don't start shouting about stolen food, he'll be happy to ignore them. For now.

[ Why yes, just like that!

Ukoku stares at him for a few seconds more than is really polite. This isn't just bravado; the illusion is too complete. Could he really be so oblivious as to just not notice? Persistently?

Either way, best to rule out the obvious first. Ukoku leans in front of Gojyo, suddenly and without warning about a foot from his face.
]

Hi there!
erogappa: (look -- annoyed)

[personal profile] erogappa 2016-07-17 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Crap! [ Gojyo jumps in his seat, nearly dropping the takeout container... and looking at Ukoku with no recognition whatsoever. ]

What the hell! [ Did he spill anything? No. ...No, okay, good. That was a close one, Mr No Personal Bubble! ] Warn a man next time, damn. What do you want?
existentialcrisis: (Statistically no one loves you.)

[personal profile] existentialcrisis 2016-07-17 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ What a good question! There are so many possibilities.

He leans back out of Gojyo's personal space and against the edge of a table, slouching a little.
]

I'm sorry, I thought you looked familiar. I must be confusing you with someone else. Have you had any luck?
erogappa: (look -- stinkeye)

[personal profile] erogappa 2016-07-17 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Gojyo treats Ukoku to a disbelieving stinkeye as the other man settles against the table. Is this guy hitting on him or something? He's sure being friendly enough, the creep. ]

Luck with what?
existentialcrisis: (When she says "everything'll be okay")

[personal profile] existentialcrisis 2016-07-17 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's masterfully ignoring that look. ]

Your secret mission! Missing teachers? Mysterious illness? [ Jazz hands! ] Our secret mission, I should say.
erogappa: (deadpan -- what)

[personal profile] erogappa 2016-07-17 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh. So he's a shinki or a god, huh? Well, that explains why he's able to see Gojyo, but it still doesn't explain why he has no goddamn understanding of personal space. ]

Nah, there's nothing here but a bunch of kids and some assholes who won't let a man smoke in peace. No monsters. [ That stinkeye isn't going anywhere. ] Oi, you wanna get your ass off the table? People eat off that, y'know.
existentialcrisis: (She looks dead. I'm thinkin lets bail.)

[personal profile] existentialcrisis 2016-07-18 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ He ignores that (people eat off plates, silly, and also this table is now blessed), making a thoughtful noise. ]

I don't know if I'd go that far. There are a lot of different kinds of monsters, aren't there? Is that your natural eye color?

[ It's completely unrelated and in no way meant to imply anything!! ]
erogappa: (angry -- death)

[personal profile] erogappa 2016-07-18 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ Did it just get really fucking cold in here? Gojyo freezes, chopsticks halfway to his mouth, and slowly sets the takeout container down, his grip on the chopsticks tightening as though he means to use them as a knife. ]

I don't think I got your name.

[ If he's here, and Sanzo, and Hakkai, and Goku, then there's no telling who else might have been brought from their part of the world. And sure, it's possible that his new friend is just a nosy asshole, but he kinda doubts it. ]
existentialcrisis: (Girl did you fall from heaven?)

[personal profile] existentialcrisis 2016-07-18 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! My mistake. Ni. [ He bows his head, cursory but polite. ] Jianyi.

[ Maybe he'll be able to do something with that. Probably not, Ukoku presumes, but he'll be impressed if he's proven wrong—and if these idiots impressed him it'd at least be an interesting twist. ]
erogappa: (smoking -- th'fuck did you say?)

[personal profile] erogappa 2016-07-18 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Cursory but polite isn't enough to appease Gojyo's death glare, sorry Ni. Y'all just called him a monster. ]

Maybe you should go look for those missing teachers somewhere else, Ni Jianyi.

[personal profile] existentialcrisis 2016-07-18 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not here for that. I'm here to teach chemistry.

[ Still, he gets up and heads for the door. He's gonna go harass/say hi to all the cute students he acquired today, and probably hang around right outside the door so that when Gojyo leaves he can smile at him, or accidentally bump into/bless him, whoops. ]

Good luck!

[ Whatever that means. ]
