Nope's Peak Academy

We've heard a nasty rumor you're not interested in murdering one another! Everybody wants to play protagonists instead! No accounting for taste, but if that's what you punks want!



[Today's execution happens not in the auditorium, but on your tablets, where we have left not only the school but the world, where we will find massive machine located in orbit. Helpful on-screen infographics will inform you that this is a death ray powerful enough to destroy the planet, and it happens to be pointed directly at the school. It begins to charge.

You're treated to a pair of magical girl transformations as Lux and Akko come flying onto scene, ready to save the day. As the machine fires, Lux intercepts the blast as Akko prepares a counterattack, but the price is clear; it won't be long before it overwhelms them completely.]



[Still, the arrow hits its mark, and the death ray explodes in dramatic fashion, disintegrating the two figures who dared to stand against it. The day is safe, but our heroines aren't coming home.]

THREE! TWO! ONE! HAPPPPPY NEW FEAR!

This is the last raccoon holiday for a while, so if you'd like a vacation from this murder game before the KILLING NIGHT, check your tablets! We'll even let you leave the campus, so you'd better praise our generosity!

[There's a new app on the tablets that cannot be removed. It will only activate when you are alone in your room, but click the cute carrot icon and you'll be given a simple prompt: "TAKE A VACATION?" with yes/no prompts. If you click "no," nothing happens; the app simply closes, ready for you to click on it again. But if you choose "yes," you'll become a bit lightheaded, and the next thing you know, you'll be back home. But not just any home: The home in which your murder carrot(s) (the best one, the newest one, or maybe even both of them? It's up to player discretion) has already been made reality. You'll be there for a full three hours before you're brought back to Nope's Peak, holding the tablet as if you never left. After that, the app will only say, "You know what to do."]

By the way, if it ain't obvious, that killing night is tonight! If you're thinking about doing a murder, rest assured: We will NOT let the dead mess up a trial like that again!

[In other news, the science lab has been restocked, and the raccoons made a HUGE mess eating out of the kitchen trash, like worse than usual.]

Vacation time!
Trust sheets - get those submitted by tomorrow evening!))

[Another night comes and goes. Today's announcments are as follows:]

Since you nabbed your first killer, we've decided to reward you with a celebration of this, the most sacred of all raccoon holidays: Trashmas, the holiday of regifting stupid shit that you didn't want in the first place! Come down to the gym to receive some presents, and then pawn them all off on your friends!

[There is a pause, and then a second announcement:]

Oh yeah, and Niska is dead.

[The mess in the auditorium has been cleaned up… and then subsequently re-messed, as Niska's broken body can be found here, drenched in blue blood, one of Tycoon's broken arms still gripped in her fist. Written on the wall, in that same blue, is the message, "DON'T BULLY THE RACCOONS."]

[The tablets fire up first thing in the morning with some lovely lounge music to set the mood:]



RESULTS:

Niles: 18
Corrin: 4
Hiyori: 2
Maki: 1
Lux: 1
Erika: 1

[The raccoons are waiting in the auditorium, dressed as precious little cupids, which is to say they have plastic wings and underwear (bloomers and boxers respectively) on, though admittedly their choices of "cupid's arrows" is a little suspect.]



CONGRATULATIONS MURDERFIENDS! YOU CHOSE RIGHT!

((Last words
Execution))

[How's everybody doing? Really feeling the spirit of the holidays? After the grisly scene is over, your tablets return to normal, and helpfully inform you that tonight is a Killing Night.]

[That's not all the tablets do today. At some moment when you're alone and happen to look at the thing, a screen with this as its background (yes, including the watermark) pops up. Written on that screen is a fresh new murder carrot — something you desperately want. In fact, even if you are Too Protagonist to take it, you get one. Have a taste of what everybody else is dealing with, you goodie-goodies.]

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

We're going to truncate the killing night phase a little (though you can backthread with your nighttime buddy as long as you please) so as to not overlap with the holiday. Basically, it'll look like this:

Sunday 6pm PST - trust sheets due
Tuesday 6pm PST - results of killing night are revealed
Thursday 6pm PST - voting discussion post goes up
Friday MIDNIGHT PST - votes are due
Saturday 10am PST - execution post goes up
Sunday (the 24th) - optional minigame week for everybody who isn't into real life Xmas
Sunday (the 31st) - trust sheets are due for the next round (the form will be up for several days before that, no need to actually be present on NYE)

Or just check the calendar for the schedule.))

[The night passes uneventfully, with no obvious signs of violence committed by... well, anyone. You can take a look around you, and all the familiar faces seem to be there. You check your tablet. It’s looking slicker and more functional than before... but more importantly, everyone is marked "ALIVE." Soon the morning announcement rings out, making it official:]

CONGRATULATIONS, BITCHES! You didn't do a murder!

[But… keep looking at those tablets, and you'll find that the profile cards aren't the only new addition. You can now view the rules, which seem to have a new addition, and there's a strange new app as well...]

((Characters can also continue to visit the new areas to the setting, found by some of the exploring groups during the night, as they please.))

[The night has passed. Maybe you got some rest, maybe you're only waking up here for the first time, finding yourself in an unfamiliar dorm room bed, in this bizarre excuse for a school. Even if you weren't sleeping, you're about to be rudely awakened by the very loud intercom:]

BUENAS DIAS PENDEJOS! That's my catch phrase of the day! Anyway, come to the gym for your tablets!

[You're free to wander the school at your discretion, though if you do choose to go to the gym, you'll find the raccoons there with boxes and boxes of cheap-looking tablets.]

...They work! Kind of! Just give them a little time while we update the hardware! DON'T JUDGE!!

((WELCOME! We're still getting some of the nav stuff put together, but thread, enjoy, blame the raccoons. Settings page is here for quick reference. And feel free to keep or retcon test drive threads as makes sense.))
