Event: If You Don't; Part One
The plastic bowl and the note are not there before 6:30 AM - characters who woke before that time won't see them until they return. But any time after 6:30, the note will be able to be picked up and read.
Reading the note in its entirety will make a character feel like they must go and gather candy; they won't know quite why, but there will be a nagging feeling at the back of their minds like they ought to. A particularly stubborn character will be able to keep themselves from doing so with varying effects during the days that follow - on the first day it will be merely a slightly annoying feeling that they're forgetting to do something, but with each passing day the feeling will progress more and more towards full-blown paranoia and a sense of overwhelming dread that if they don't start looking, something terrible will happen. This feeling will go away when they have placed at least one piece of candy that they have gathered in their bowl.
Similarly, reading the note will give a character the feeling that they must put whatever candy they stock up on in the bowls - they are still free not to, of course, but if they hoard it elsewhere they'll have a nagging feeling that there's something they've forgotten throughout the week which will only go away once they've put some or all of their candy into the bowl. This feeling is much easier to ignore than the resulting paranoia from not gathering candy, however.
When a character sets out with the intention to search for candy, they will begin to notice that the candy is scattered about the floors of the Tower. It will be easy enough to pick up one or two pieces in passing as they go about their days, but they will have a nagging feeling that if they look more thoroughly, they will be able to "stock up" - though they will not be able to explain how they know this, or why they are compelled to look.
Characters will have six full days to scour the Tower: The 20th, the 21st, the 22nd, the 23rd, the 24th, and the 25th.
On the 20th, they will be able to search 15 floors before they stop perceiving candy. After they have searched 15 floors, they will not notice candy no matter where else they go - even if they are accompanying someone else who has not yet searched 15 floors and is still seeing candy.
On the 21st, they will be able to search 12 floors before they stop perceiving candy.
On the 22nd, they will be able to search 10 floors before they stop perceiving candy.
On the 23rd, they will be able to search 7 floors before they stop perceiving candy.
On the 24th, they will be able to search 5 floors before they stop perceiving candy.
On the 25th, they will be able to search 2 floors before they stop perceiving candy. At 11:59 PM this night, they will stop perceiving candy entirely, though it will still technically be there; two minutes later, on 12:01 AM on the 26th, any candy that is not already in plastic bowls will vanish from the Tower.
Any characters who, at that point, do not have any candy contained in their bowls will find themselves inexplicably on-edge throughout the next couple of days, and they may find themselves thinking things they wouldn't normally - such as, That person has too much candy, surely they wouldn't notice a few missing... - almost as though the suggestion has been whispered to them in the back of their mind.
If your character is gathering candy during the next six days, please respond to the proper comment below with the following:
1. The day they are searching and how long they spend looking
2. A list of the floors they are searching, in the order they are searching them
3. Their method of searching - whether this means scanning the floor and picking up the first few candies they see, or looking more thoroughly
4. If anyone else is on the floor with them and searching at the same time
You are welcome to post each character's actions for the entire duration all at once if you so choose, but it is also just fine (and expected) to do one day at a time because their actions the next day may be influenced by what they and their CR find on each of the floors. In this case, please post your first day's batch as a response to the comment below, and your second day's batch as a response to the mod comment you will receive in reply so that we can contain all of your findings to a single thread.
If your character is signed up for the event but is not gathering candy for whatever reason - be it their own stubbornness or they got distracted or some other reason - please respond to gathering comment saying which day they abstained from gathering, so that we can detail any specifics they will feel minus the fact that they will feel like they are forgetting something (though this will mostly come after skipping more than one day in a row).
Happy hunting!
You'd better stock up on candy while you can! They get awfully hungry, you know! ❤

Dorm floors 1-5, floor 1, on all of these he will spend around half an hour looking around each floor, looking in empty rooms and under tables/in cupboards in the cafeteria/kitchen
He will then go to various other floors (the library, lab, meadow) but purposefully not search for candy, trying his best not to look for it whilst trying to see if he can see any
Later he will go to floor 48 and look around the graveyards actively searching again
23rd
He will look around dorm floor two for about ten minutes, then get a bit distracted by cutting up candy.
He and Jonouchi then search floors: 1, 2 and 3 they will spend about an hour altogether there, searching under tables/behind books/etc
He and Chihiro also search floor 4
He then finds Asch on floor 62 and spends quite a few hours with him while Asch cheats. Xion joins them and Shion does some experiments with the fact she can't see them. (Will she be able to feel them if they are put in her hand or dropped on her head? Will she be able to taste them?)
no subject
Dormitory Floor 1: Nothing
Dormitory Floor 2: 17 gummy worms - he finds them mostly in clumps in front of the doors to rooms
Dormitory Floor 3: Nothing
Dormitory Floor 4: Nothing
Dormitory Floor 5: Nothing
1: 7 candy pumpkins, 3 pieces of candy corn
While he is actively trying not to look for candy, he will not perceive any on the floors that he visits, though he may spot some people going through the motions of gathering it themselves.
48: 8 chocolate roses (2 each on the graves of some of his friends who have vanished)
His search on the 23rd yields the following results:
Dormitory Floor 2: 6 gummy worms. When he cuts the candy, he will not find anything out of the ordinary. It looks, smells, feels, and tastes like real candy.
1: 2 candy pumpkins, 6 pieces of candy corn
2: 3 packets of candy blood
3: 2 lemon lollipops, 1 cherry lollipop, 3 strawberry lollipops
4: 2 small bags of pink cotton candy
62: 2 gummy fish, 5 pieces of saltwater taffy. Xion will not be able to feel candy that is put in her hand; in fact, she will not be able to hold it at all, and attempts to have her do so will fail - to Shion's sight, it will look as though she couldn't keep a grip on it, or it rolled out of her hand, or some such thing. Attempts at dropping candy onto her head will also fail, the candy appearing to miss her even if she stays still. She will not be able to feel candy; attempts at feeding it to her will also fail, as if it just can't seem to make it to her mouth.

He will look around dorm floor 2, dorm floor 1 and then floors 1, 2 and 3 just because he needs more candy to share with Reno! He looks properly today though at some point he will take a piece of candy from one floor and put it on another, to see if it will still be there.
25th
He searches dorm floor one and two but seems more interested in experimenting on candy, moving it around, checking on it every few hours etc He will also go to look at his roommates buckets, to see if he can see their candy even after he has stopped percieving candy on floors
no subject
Dormitory Floor 2: 5 gummy worms
Dormitory Floor 1: 3 chocolate bars
1: 3 candy pumpkins, 7 pieces of candy corn
2: 3 packets of candy blood
3: 1 lemon lollipop
Candy taken from one floor vanishes once it leaves his hand on another floor.
His search on the 25th yields the following results:
Dormitory Floor 1: 2 chocolate bars
Dormitory Floor 2: 8 gummy worms
He is able to see the candy in others' bowls after he is no longer to perceive candy while searching. If he has Xion or another person not participating check, they will be able to see the candy in the bowls, too.
