006 | High School Debut

[godsoffortune]

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~

[Takuto is impressed by how quickly his new friend has gone and returned, though maybe it only seems quick because Takuto's been doing some fast paced action moves, dodging at one point a whole chicken on his way across the cafeteria. He slides towards Sora on some spilt milk tea, and squeaks to a halt. His red eyes dart around, and he finds it prudent to crouch behind a table, gesturing for Sora to do the same to avoid a volley of semi-frozen berries.]

Well? What did you find?

[oathkeeper]

[Sora ducks and dodges some rice pudding and a can of pop and slides into hiding with Takuto. He's frowning though. Not any good news.]

Absolutely nothing! There was only junk about school clubs and some accounting records!

[tauborn]

[Takuto returns the frown. He's tempted to ask how many people are in the drama club, but now's really not the time.]

No weird vibes? No bodies? No... weird artifacts?

[oathkeeper]

[Sora crosses his arms, the disappointment clear on his face.]

Seriously nothing! And if we don't figure out this sickness and fast, there's gonna be a lot more kids and teachers getting hurt.

[There's a scream and another tray of food goes over their heads.]

[tauborn]

[Takuto winces. He hopes Sora doesn't mean people will get hurt in the food fight. It's just a food fight, after all.]

If the principal's office is a dead-end, where else can we look?

I mean... I'll probably end up at the vice principal's office soon enough anyway.....

[If the teachers on the sidelines interrogating students and pointing were any indication. To be fair, Takuto always intended to go willingly?]
