[EFFECT ROOM] The Red Thread of Not-Quite-Fate
[This room is definitely one that you wouldn't expect to find in a school, considering that it appears to be a gigantic cafe. Plush carpets, cushioned chairs, a whole bunch of fancy drinks and snacks...
Someone put a dating cafe in the school!]
((OOC: Here's how it works! The room is based off the idea of the red string of fate from Japanese/Chinese legend. On stepping into the room, your character will find a thin but completely unbreakable red string tied to their pinkie, with the other end tied to someone else who's come into the room. The red string persists even if you try to leave, and won't disappear until a full day later. The thread itself will lengthen or shorten depending on the proximity of the two characters, but it won't let you get more than a room's length away from each other.
Here's the complication: the Gods are kind of sort of drunk off their asses, which means that the red string could tie you to literally anyone. Your worst enemy, your brother, your father, Old Man Jenkins... it's one of those things where you're lucky if you get your soulmate! Furthermore, the strings can (by player choice) actually swap around repeatedly, so your character could end up tied to one person all day or have to deal with being tied to five different ones through it!
For characters who don't know about the legend, there's a paper pinned to the wall by the door that explains it (at least, the actual legend, not the drunk-gods part). While the paper can be ripped up, it'll just regenerate a minute or two later.
And yes I purposefully picked the most inappropriate journal for this))

And should that happen, he'll specifically target you again, won't he. How do you intend to deal with that?

[Blunt? Maybe. Sitting up straight, he meets her eyes unhesitatingly. What does one do about something like that?]
If I have to, I'll kill him myself, but I'd rather not have it go that far. But if it does, I won't hesitate. It's my host that's most in danger, after all. I'll survive even if everything in this campus burns, but without a host, I'm useless.
[And bored.]
