[Anonymous Post][Off the School Network][Video + Text]

[geekykomori]

[So maybe someone linked you, or it got linked on the school network, or maybe you just like browsing the 2055 version of EpicFailVideos.com in your spare time: regardless, there's a nice video titled "Blackout During Matsubayashi High School Commencement".

The actual video starts in the middle of the blackout during the commencement ceremony, so everything's dark except for the many phones and other things people are turning on lighting up like little wavering stars. Finally the lights come on and the video catches the rest of the Principal's speech before ending during the applause. There's a text description underneath:]

wwwwww WA☆RA☆U
Looks like Jupiter didn't donate enough!
If this is supposed to be the school of the future, we're SC☆RE☆WE☆D

[Anyone who somehow does try to dig into the poster's identity will just end up finding the VR account for Death Club, which of course, is pretty heavily disassociated from any real life persons or organizations. Still, it's pretty clear the video was taken by someone inside the gymnasium at the time, though the poster might have gotten it from someone else.

Looks like they're active and responding to commenters though, so maybe you can get them to talk?

Assume all responses to be from the same anonymous poster of the video]

Really? Do you have any reason to believe why it might be that over a prank or a server glitch?

[ Azusa has taken an interest in that blackout, attempting to find more information about it, planning on making it her first story in the school newspaper once classes actually begin. ]

[geekykomori]

If they can't handle a little thing like that on the FIRST☆DAY☆OF☆SCHOOL then that's pretty sad on its own~

[ships_you]

I'm not against rumors, but we have the daughter of the Jupiter Corporation going to school with us. Surely that means that they aren't going to be installing faulty hardware.

...But that would make a really juicy story if it was true.

Wow so SC☆A☆RY do they have it in the budget to call an exorcist???

Re: [Anon]

[badb_decisions]

it is important to student safety to keep school facilities ghost-free

most important budgetary decision of year - ghostgrabbers or funding for more exams

we say ghostgrabbers i'm starting a petition

Mistakes do happen so I doubt it's anything superstitious.

[geekykomori]

Mistakes? On the first day for the school year? On the first day for the principal? I can't wait to see how it goes when they're not taking things seriously~

I'm not sure why you'd think it was something superstitious in the first place.

Ghosts=Not real

Good students should know better than to have their phones on and cameras out during a school event. And should really know better than to put the evidence of their rule-breaking online.

[geekykomori]

wwwww "good students" should just shut up and sit nicely even when the education they're getting is full of failures wwwww

[If she tries to track it down, it's no secret that this is the account of 2nd year student, Susumu Yukinaga, but the bespectacled avatar in the video isn't her physical form for sure.]

[She just has a look crossed between bemused and dispassionate...]

Cool story, bro.

[Luckily, while Shino spends a lot of time hiding her identity, she's not that interested in finding out that of others]

I wonder if the students trusting the education to these people feel the same way, HMMMM? It's not exactly confidence inspiring~

Kind of scary that a server malfunction would turn off the lights. Does make me wonder what really happened.

[geekykomori]

Popular vote right now says ghosts!

wwww wow you go to matsubayashi, no wonder you had a power outage

Re: [Anon]

[paranpcs]

isn't that the school where they still have an abandoned building standing on campus

[not_a_peach]

Every leap forward has it's issues, this wasn't even a big deal, everywhere gets power cuts occasionally.

[geekykomori]

You think they'd work it out before hand.
Who screws up like that on opening day?

Oh yes, the avatar is a robot dragon

[fragilecode]

Wow, I hope the school of the future isn't a one hundred and ten year old school with a bunch of really good tech hastily installed in it.

[geekykomori]

Right, right? That'd just be TOO☆IR☆RE☆SPON☆SIB☆LE!

[judogi]

A real student of Matsubayashi should have more pride in their school than posting something like this!

[ Kotomi is a respectful, old-fashioned kind of girl. She can't believe a student that goes to the school she cares so much about would be so crass. ]

[geekykomori]

Tell that to the real students then! WA☆RA☆WA☆RA
