hh_mirrorUnder the sickly shimmering rays of the Baby Sun, a strange crop grew. Loudspeakers on stems periscoped from the ground, their heads half-telephonic, half-fungal in appearance. Their passage upward through the soil was marked by an obscene squelching, capped by a jaunty pop!
They popped up all over the grounds, spaced apart widely enough to allot coverage of a given area efficiently. They popped up like mushrooms. Apart from the squelching, they issued no sound for a full hour after the last loudspeaker had emerged.
Then the psychological warfare began. The loudspeakers began to play music.
The playtime was continuous; the playlist, idiosyncratic. The volume fluctuated. Occasionally a song would be broadcast loudly, to catch the attention of those who might have filtered the music into an unnoticed background. Then the music would return to a more tolerable level, something like the Muzak in a supermarket.
Well pleased with its work, the Baby Sun chuckled and gurgled its glee.
(( OOC: Please add to the playlist, in the Hat's journal post for that purpose :D The only guideline is that the songs cannot break the fourth wall. They can be songs that are meaningful to your character or come from their canon, if you like, provided this doesn't break the fourth wall. They can be songs that are about your character's canon, e.g., Hawkwind's songs about Elric of Melnibone, as long as the fourth wall isn't broken thereby. No visuals accompany the Baby Sun's loudspeakers, any OOC links to YouTube notwithstanding.
It is possible to attack and to destroy the periscopes. Their skins will be made of a hard metallic substance, their insides spongy and pinkish. More will grow to replace any that are uprooted or harvested. If uprooted, a periscope will continue to broadcast until its speaker-head is destroyed.))

So he went in search of the source, and what he found was horrid. "What the fuck?" he exclaimed, standing in a field of speakers just outside the main entrance to the school. They went as far as the eye could see. They'd dimmed to a manageable level, but it was still nauseatingly loud for Kuronue.
He had to get rid of them.
He walked over to the closest one and kicked it over, then panicked and stomped on it when, though it's roots were visible, it still the horrid howling music. After a moment, two more popped up with a sickly sound in its place. "Oh, what the fuck!"
So yeah, Kuronue can be found kicking the loudspeakers down in a frenzied rage, screaming to drown out the music.
