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~

[She's laughing out loud about his predicament now. And possible also because he looks really cute when he's pouting. Very teacher like of him, yes. Good going.]

And your next few classes? You're going to do the same thing?

[Actually, part of her wanted to see what would happen if a student did raise their hand and ask for his age.]
sweetdeath: (bad feeling about this)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-07-24 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. It's not like they remember anything I say, anyway. I could make everybody read out of the textbook, but that's so boring.

[He sighs, dramatically.]
dancermai: (cuteness)

[personal profile] dancermai 2016-07-25 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Well the rest of these students are actually going to be going to the final exam right?

You'd have to at least care about those ones.

[ She laughs at him. Definitely not teacher material. ]
sweetdeath: (plotting my escape)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-07-26 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
It's -- it's just for one day, anyway! It doesn't matter that much! It'll be fine.

[Totally fine. Whether he reads out of the textbook or tells them stories about his own childhood, they'll forget, but as long as they do their homework they should still do okay on the final!

He thinks!]
dancermai: (...what)

[personal profile] dancermai 2016-07-26 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't you think it's really strange that the students all don't seem to care or aren't listening at all?

[ it's called being in school, Mai. You were too busy dancing or thinking about dancing to notice this. ]

They told us to investigate but how are we supposed to be investigating this?
sweetdeath: (bad feeling about this)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-07-27 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Well... I figured it was just because we're from the Far Shore.

[He gives her a blank stare.

It's kind of weird that they'd pick a bunch of Far Shore residents to sub, actually, but Tsuzuki's gotten used to not being noticed.]
dancermai: (stresspot)

[personal profile] dancermai 2016-07-28 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you would think a few of them may have noticed that you were talking like you actually lived during that time period.

Unless...you don't think that's strange.

[ She raises an eyebrow at him. Please think this is also strange. ]
sweetdeath: (not adding up)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-07-29 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I did!

[It's not that strange! It was only a hundred and ten years ago!]
dancermai: (considerate)

[personal profile] dancermai 2016-07-30 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, as a human teacher you shouldn't have lived that long ago, you silly man. Instead she shakes her head a little and laughs at that response. ]

I don't know if this kind of undercover work is really getting any results. Maybe I'll skip my next class to see if I can find other information.
sweetdeath: (ahahaha oops!)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-07-31 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, part of our job's filling in for the teachers, so I don't think I can go look myself. If you want to, that'd be a big help.

[He shoots her a conspiratorial grin.]

Hey, be careful, though. Don't get caught!
dancermai: (might be up to something)

[personal profile] dancermai 2016-08-03 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you're a teacher so that means you can give me a blank hall pass, right?

[ Then she could essentially go anywhere she wanted for as long as she needed. ]

Or a few of them.
sweetdeath: (talk to the meat bun)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-08-03 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh-- did they give us anything like that?

[He checks his pockets, and comes up with a name tag -- oh hey, he should probably be wearing that, shouldn't he? -- a pencil, and a classroom key.]

What's a hall pass look like, anyway?
dancermai: (...what)

[personal profile] dancermai 2016-08-06 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
The teacher doesn't know what the hall pass looks like?

[ Definitely another concerning comment. ]

Are you going to be okay? Should I be sitting in on your next class too?
sweetdeath: (bad feeling about this)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-08-06 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
We didn't have them when I went to school!

[It's not his fault! You can't blame him for this! He hasn't had to give one out to anybody yet, either.]

I'll be okay.
dancermai: (oops)

[personal profile] dancermai 2016-08-07 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ She couldn't resist. ]

So they had school back in your time then?

Wasn't just dinosaurs and running around with clubs?
sweetdeath: (HATE YOU ALL)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-08-07 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Hey! Shut up! I'm not that old! I'm only a hundred!

[This is very important!]
dancermai: (might be up to something)

[personal profile] dancermai 2016-08-07 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ Definitely something you should be declaring between classes when anybody could walk in. ]

Should I be looking into getting you a beautiful cane for your next birthday?
sweetdeath: (no words; only tears)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-08-07 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Definitely. He's the best at being subtle.]

Only if you want me to hit you with it!
dancermai: (glee!)

[personal profile] dancermai 2016-08-12 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
See?! You're already acting like a cranky old man.

Soon, you'll be able to perfect yelling at little children to get off your front lawn.

[ She really does adore you, it's okay. ]
sweetdeath: (toppled)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-08-13 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
I'm -- I'm not that old....

[He is that old. He gives her a tragic look.]
dancermai: (cuteness)

[personal profile] dancermai 2016-08-14 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ In her best imitation of old man voice while holding up a pretend cane in the air. ]

You whippersnappers!
