The Overlook

<KiruGM> You're standing up on the tower platform, overlooking the school grounds.

<KiruGM> You now attend biweekly meetings of Ohtori's Student Council.

<KiruGM> The theme of this week's meeting is Bettering Our School.

<KiruGM> As you look out, you can see the various buildings where students congregate.  Now that your Student Council position has given you the freedom to roam wherever you like in the school, maybe it's time you checked some of them out, to discover how they can be Bettered.

<KiruGM> Please peruse the various sites you can view from the tower and decide which you would like to visit.

* Shimabukuro_Kamiko sighs as she leans out over the balcony railing. "I still say Nemuro is an eyesore, and we should pressure the headmaster to have it razed."

<Inoki_Aoi> "I suppose if one was going to make the school Better, the burnt-out ruins would be a logical place to start."

* Kseniya_Opasnost glances over at the ruins. "It's so romantic, though. And it's not as if anyone lives inside that place."

<Kseniya_Opasnost> "I do wonder about the labs, though. They seem like a fire hazard every time I go in there, and some of the younger students get lost."

<Kurouto_Demi> "Yes, Kseniya.  They are also not in keeping with Ohtori's aesthetic, generally."

<Shimabukuro_Kamiko> "If their spatial senses are that poor, perhaps they shouldn't be studying math and science at Ohtori."

<MaxFaust> "No-one studies anything."

<MaxFaust> "They just come and go."

Ohtori Locations

Ohtori Academy

Himemiya Memorial Garden

This outdoor garden commemorates a former deputy chairman who died at the school.  According to student rumor, the Rijichou was murdered by his sister and buried under the rose garden, though this seems highly unlikely.  Probably adding to these flights of fancy are the numerous cross-shaped wooden arbors incorporated into the design.


Nemuro Conservatory

One of several Ohtori garden spaces dedicated to the memory of students, this one commemorates those former Ohtori alumni who have fallen in war.  A popular site for a romantic outing among the student body.


Ohtori Gallery

Originally a chateau housing the Ohtori family.  Now filled with their paintings and antiques, as well as curiosities collected by the school for students' edification.  Dark whispers swirl among the students about whether some of the paintings contain nudity.


Rose Croix Theatre

The Academy's theatre and music building.  The RCT features three stages and a band shell, as well as  a system of underground tunnels which, like all such structures, is said to be haunted.

Valpurgis Laboratory

Constructed hastily from wood and tile in the flurry of nationalism which swept over Japan in the 1930s, the VL building is a rickety-looking maze of rooms housing the school's math and science departments.  All rooms, including offices, are fully served with gas lines for all students' science needs.

Benevento Field

The Academy's sports field, surrounded by its racetrack, site of most of Ohtori's outdoor activities.  A few trees dot the rims, and the grass is scrupulously maintained.  The majority of students eat their lunches here when the weather is suitable.  Ringed by Greco-roman statuary and many fountains.  

Abrasax Library

One of the grandest buildings on campus, the AL is under continuous restoration because of an instability in its foundation.  In spite of this, it is generally considered a peaceful haven for study and reflection.  Open 24 hours.
