Log Comm | Network Comm | OOC Comm | Navigation


Despite certain disruptive events and ominous visions in the preceding month, August is seemingly still free of any problems.

That’s quick to change, however. Starting from the third of the month, strange, circular marks begin to appear on human students around the school - and, indeed, humans around the world. Those affected begin to feel incurably drowsy, something that no magical or mundane solution can seem to cure or relieve; eventually, they’ll fall asleep entirely, whether they want to or not, and enter a state of magical stasis. Not even nonhumans are immune, though whether they’re marked seems to be much more erratic.

Those who remain awake or are otherwise spared by the mark are free to do as they wish - the Academy won’t ask them to do more than keep themselves safe. But where each marked person falls in slumber, a portal will form; a strange tear in reality, offering glimpses of a surreal, nightmarish plane that differs vastly from individual to individual. One thing is certain; the cause of a victim’s seemingly endless sleep and these portals are linked somehow, and the only way to find out exactly how is to go through...and the only ones capable of doing so are those who are still awake.

This log can be used as a catch-all for event-related threads. The information for this event is here.

[Nothing close enough to be seen, but there's a faint rustle of dry leaves... And an even fainter 'voice', sounding distant.] < Kokoro?? >
stavros: Kokoro posing with her whip. ([a] woosh)

Tobias?!

[She quickly covers her mouth and presses against a root, cursing herself. Answering probably tipped off every animal in the next kilometre.]
hawkwardness: (strong wings!)

[The closest one happens to be a fox, sniffing its way along. A fox larger and heavier than the owl was, eyes glinting. It's watching her curiously...

Tobias is already on the move, fluttering carefully from tree to tree in the direction of her voice, as blind as any human in the eternal dark.]


< I'm so sick of this, I can't see. Where are you? >
stavros: Kokoro holding her regular whip. ([a] no tripping)

[She gulps. Freezes. Stares at the fox, feeling in her bag for something to throw...

Okay. Fine, she'll call out. And if it attacks, she'll try and strike back at it.]


Here!
