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~

[ Maybe it's a good thing people barely notice shinki, because Genos would have terrible time blending around otherwise. What with black-sclera eyes, and metal arms - which are very visible, because he had to cut the uniform sleeves off.

Then he notices a girl with... ]
Elf-ears?

[ He blinks and decides to hunkers down next to her, figuring she's probably another Far Shore resident. Or a cosplayer. If it's the latter, she will simply not even register him talking to her. ] Making any progress on the investigation?
sleepingknight: ([Confident] depicted by you)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-07-19 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Looking up and--

Wow. This guy's gotta be from the far shore.

Don't mind her as she finishes chewing her bite of bread. It's only polite to do so before she speaks up:
]

Fairy ears! And these girls [she jerks her head towards the group next to her] are talking about some students who just dropped on the spot?
scrap_metal: (talking)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-07-19 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Aren't elves types of fairies anyway? [ Might sound nitpicky, but it's just curiosity. He looks at the girls. ] Fainted just like that? I haven't heard that one yet.

But it probably should surprise me more, than it does. [ some of the readings from his scanners were weird. ]

sleepingknight: ([Thinking] but I have no regrets)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-07-20 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Are they?

[She just kind of guessed because of the wings.]

Anyway, I haven't heard much else... What about you?
scrap_metal: (frowny and suspicious)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-07-20 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ Neither elves nor fairies are his forte, but he's been reading mythologies and folk tales as part of his duty recently. ]

Some of the students looks.. weird. [ Well most of the students around are pretty lively and chatty, so he corrects himself. ] Not literally.

It's their heat signatures that look weird.
sleepingknight: ([Surprise] pile up)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-07-21 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Heat signatures?

[She definitely can't see anything like that.]

What looks weird about them?
scrap_metal: (my cyborg sense is tingling)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-07-22 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ Genos looks around, his irises glowing and whirling around. There, there is one person here like that. He points in the direction of lonely girl sitting at the corner and slowly eating her lunch. ]

Everyone are bright red and orange. Not her. There's too much green and blue. [ his eyes get back to normal ] There are few students showing signs like these too. Like their body heat is being sapped out.
sleepingknight: ([Fight] Because I've always)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-07-24 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wait, what--]

Their body heat?

[That's... such a strange thing, and yet...]

Can you see where it's going?! Or any kind of clue...

[They can't just let these people keep getting preyed on like this!]
scrap_metal: (not pictured here - lost arm)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-07-26 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately I have no idea where it's going. But it's a good point, I'll try to investigate that angle.

They just appear to be a lot colder than normal. Certain sickness can give similar image, from what I know. But neither of these students seem bedridden.

[ Apathetic or quiet at best. And some are acting completely normal ]
sleepingknight: ([Thinking] but I have no regrets)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-07-29 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Mmmmrgh, she doesn't like the sound of it at all.]

They really aren't acting weird? There's nothing that someone who can't see... er, heat signatures could notice?

[She stares intensely at the poor lonely girl, as if doing so would provide an answer from thin air.]

...Is she the only student like that who's just by herself, too?
scrap_metal: (thinking very hard)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-07-29 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ He taps his chin thoughtfully ]

Now that you mention it. They might have keep to themselves, a little on the side. [ He wasn't paying attention to how included in group these people were. Such a mistake. ]

Do you think whatever is affecting them might cause that self-isolation?
sleepingknight: ([Concentrate] of the journey)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-08-01 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe... It's hard to say.

I'll try to talk to them and see if I can find out something! Can you look around and see if they really are all students who keep to themselves?
scrap_metal: (fashionable borg)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-08-02 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He nods enthusiastically. The clearer the goal he's working for, the better. It makes the job lot easier. ]

I'll make sure to take note on their behavior. [ He does exactly that, and takes a pen and notebook from his bag. ] The more I find them, the more detailed statistics from results will be.
sleepingknight: ([Confident] still lives on)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-08-03 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'll do a sweep of the area-- think you can find me again after school?

[Not that she realizes everything will be solved around then, but. She tries.]
scrap_metal: (my electricity)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-08-05 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I will, we can compare the results [ He writes his phone number on the edge of page, and tears it out to her ] And I'm Genos, by the way.
sleepingknight: ([Go!] envelopes me)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-08-07 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Yuuki! Here, hang on...

[And she texts him so he can get her address, too!]

There! Catch you later!
