[h3]The Premise:[/h3]
The town of Aikari is located in a hilly, forested region of Japan, surrounded on all sides by tall mountains and located by a river which leads to a nearby lake. Although Aikari is just a half an hour drive from the nearest city, its mountainous borders doesn't exactly make it a common road trip destination. It is a quaint little town with a small population, but it nevertheless boasts an impressive commercial district for a town of its size. It contains a large mall, several arcades and karaoke bars, and a few small cafes that line one particular plaza. There are three residential districts that surround the commercial blocks, which feed into five grade schools and two high schools. All in all, not quite a bustling metropolis, but it has its charm.

Of course, a small town like this still has its fair share of rumors, and perhaps because of the town's small size, those rumors can spread fast. It's in the larger of the town's high schools, Shirafuyu, that the latest rumor takes hold.

The old school building has been abandoned for close to ten years, and is officially off-limits to students. This of course is enough to send murmurs through the student body by itself, but recent developments have made things a bit more interesting.

"They say if you go into one of the rooms and enter a code into your cellphone, you'll be sent a message predicting your future."

It's unknown where this rumor started, or how it spread so quickly throughout the student body. But it's come to pass that everyone knows about it, in some form. Maybe it's predicting your future. Maybe it's talking to the dead. Some of the rumors are more outlandish than others, but they all involve the old school building and a cellphone code.

But of course, it's just a rumor. There's no basis for it. After all, there's no way to predict the future, or talk to the dead, or anything like that. All of that is just wish fulfillment, after all.

The truth of the old school building is something different entirely...

[h3]The Details:[/h3]
You play a high school student at Shirafuyu Academy that, for some reason or another, finds themselves investigating the rumor of the old school building. Maybe it's because of some secret desire. Maybe it's because you want to nip the rumor in the bud. Maybe you're just bored. Whatever the reason, you find yourself inside the old school building, knowing full well how much trouble you could get in.

There's something about the building's current state; something that points toward a certain thing in a certain room. With the help of your cellphone, could you be able to unravel the mystery?

It may prove to be bigger than you ever imagined...

This RP is a horror/exploration/mystery RP. There are many things that you won't know from the beginning. OOC information will be provided as players discover things IC.

Although the main meat of the RP takes place in the old school building, there will be segments that occur in the outside world. These segments are for character and relationship development. Make friends, spark romances, whatever it is you want to do. Maybe, if your characters survive the ordeal, they'll find themselves with stronger connections than when they started.

If.

[h3]The School:[/h3]
The largest high school in the town of Aikari, Shirafuyu is located near the top of a small hill. The campus consists of the main building and the smaller club building, as well as the courtyard and the staff parking lot. Although the building looks state-of-the-art, Shirafuyu is actually the oldest school in town, being established shortly after the town was founded.

The main building consists of three floors. Each floor contains classrooms and two male and two female bathrooms. The first floor also contains the shoe lockers, cafeteria, infirmary, and administrative offices. The library is located on the second floor. The roof contains a miniature garden and several park benches. The courtyard has several fields for sports as well as a pick up and drop off zones for cars and buses. There is also another small garden in the courtyard.

The old school building is located away from the main building past a forested path, about a two minute walk from the new school building. The entrance to the building is padlocked and barred, but several impromptu entrances have been created by person unknown. Several windows on the first floor have been smashed in, and a side staff entrance has had its lock busted open.

[h3]The Rules:[/h3]
1. No godmodding, powerplaying, or metagaming.
2. I understand that romances will happen. However, if things start to get more intimate, either fade to black or bring it to a private place.
3. One-liners have their place; it's rare, but there are situations where they do fit. However, if that's all I'm seeing you posting, especially if what you're writing doesn't advance the plot, I'll ask you to step it up.
4. If you're going to be away for an extended period of time for any reason, please let us know. Also, please leave an estimate of how long you're going to be gone for. Otherwise, your character may be subject to an inactivity death.
5. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. However, be aware that I reserve the right to refuse to answer questions that could be considered spoilers for the plot.
6. Don't be a dick. 
7. Most of all, have fun! Make friends and socialize. The friendlier you are with your fellow RPers, the better the experience will be.
