WEEK 4

[whimsicalism]

WEEK FOUR

Monsters come in all shapes and sizes, it would seem.

The students of Ira Academy will find themselves entering the new week with their hunger sated, but it's likely the grisly scene of Friday's murder and the demonstration of the execution make the food hit much heavier. The risk of death is still very real, and astute watchers might also find it haunting to think about what sort of twisted game could have forced Yuta to lose control of his own actions. Or perhaps, for the fifth week in a row, people are just finding themselves angrier at their circumstances and their captor than ever.

After her release from the washing machine last week, Nanami Kiryuu can be found more often shadowing the other students around, hanging out in the periphery and putting in appearances even if she doesn't have information to share or announcements to pass on to the rest of the group - as long as no one makes an attempt to shoo her away.

The stairs open up to another newly remodeled floor, offering new locations that may prompt more answers to your dilemma--or more questions. There's no way to know which it will be. Thankfully, there's always a new mind-numbing relaxation activity to take in.

How long can this keep going on?

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday
Regains | AC | IC Profiles | Locations | Mystery Information | A Contact | Sheep Contact | Nanami Contact

OOC NOTES

Welcome to Week 4! New locations are now open, a couple of old ones have been tweaked, and characters have started the next week of their education. Please hit the mods with a ping in Discord and put INVESTIGATE in your subject line if you're interested in exploring a new location. Nanami may be putting in some public appearances in threads this week; otherwise, please ping + Discord tag her or the (SHEEP) if you want to speak with then. All NPCs are still available for their private contacts as well!

As a reminder, AC runs Sunday to Sunday concurrent with these posts and is collected based on the prior week; this means you have a whole week to get in AC for the week prior. AC for week 3 should be submitted no later than this coming Sunday. Remember to submit your regains, and sign up for a spot exploring this week's mystery if you want to!

Y-Yeah, it's mine! Thanks... That's my mom and my Uncle Donald.

[ Hunch was, in fact, correct. Hunter nods at Dewey with a smile. ]

Looks like your mom was having fun in that one...

[lets_dewey_it]

Yeah, she was... Before she was able to escape from the moon, this was the only picture of her I had for a long time. It's precious to me.

[hashtagwoof]

[ Very... Sweet and also concerning. ]

Escape from the moon?

[lets_dewey_it]

Well, long story short, she crashed on the moon and survived mostly on black licorice-flavored supergum that Dr. Gearloose made that gave her all the oxygen and nutrients she needed... This was all before I was born, and she came back like, over ten years later.

[hashtagwoof]

... That's... Incredible. Glad she made it back in one piece.

[ At least the duck has one of his parents... Back home, of course... ]

[lets_dewey_it]

Eh... she lost a leg, actually. But she made a prosthetic using spare parts from her crashed rocket!

[hashtagwoof]

Cool... I'm surprised she managed to get off the moon and fix her leg beforehand.

[lets_dewey_it]

It was all thanks to the moon aliens giving her one of their ships that she was able to get back home!

[hashtagwoof]

Moon aliens?

[ What. ]

Since when were there aliens on the moon? Is this just in your world or something?

[lets_dewey_it]

Yerp, it probably is a "my world" thing! Their leader even commanded them to invade Earth a bit after because he was a deceptive butthole! But all the other moon aliens were nice! My mom's even best friends with one of them, her name's Penumbra, but we just call her Penny.
