WEEK 4
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?

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!

Mama and Papa are going to know now. Know the Anya knows everything.
[sniff sniff]
And then Anya will have no family any--no family anymore.
[and the only one who knew everything just died.]

[He offers a hand. Yeah, his secret...sucks, but. It's clear Anya's really upset, and honestly, his secret isn't...
Well, ok, it's not that his secret isn't literally earth-shattering
HAAAAAAAA, but. That's nothing compared to what Anya's clearly going through.]You wanna talk about it? Take a walk? Might do you good.
no subject
...
Anya can read minds. Sonic knows this. But...
Anya's Papa is a spy. He is on a mission for world peace.
Anya's Mama is an assassin. She takes out bad people.
But both of them don't know. Don't know that Anya knows. Papa wants to keep that secret for his mission. Mama wants to keep that secret because she's scared. If they know...they might leave.
no subject
Yeah, that does sound like it makes things complicated. But.]
Man, I'm sorry about that. Your parents sound past cool, too. But...
if they left you because of that, I'd totally tell 'em they're makin' a mistake and march them right back over to you. Because you don't abandon family, y'know? And they're your mom and pop! And they of all people should understand why you were scared to tell 'em.
no subject
Father will make sure Papa and Mama know.
...
But Anya might not even ever get to see them again. Maybe it does not matter.
[the poor little girl is getting worn down]
no subject
[He squeezes her hand]
Anya, I...family isn't perfect, but they're your parents. They love you. They want you to be happy. And we don't know that they would be upset with you. If anything, they might be worried and try to fight Father if he tried to pull one over on them! And even if they believed him, somehow...they'd forgive you. Heck, they're a spy and assassin, they should know and understand where you're comin' from!
You gotta believe that, Anya. They're not gonna abandon you like that!
[He just hopes she might feel some of his hope-or maybe it's desperation. Who knows at this point.]
