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?

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!

[...There's something about an Anya being sad that makes Adorabat worried about her. With the door open, Adorabat gently flies in and perches next to Anya, putting a wing on her back.]

mmmh, I wouldn't really call us friends, but I'd like to be friends with you.

[Anya lets out a little sigh.]

Anya would like to be friends as well. Anya likes being friends with everyone.

...

Anya is just worried about Anya's parents.

Then let's be friends. And if you're ever scared, tell your friends. They'll always help you.

What's happening with them?

...

[She's hesitant, but she explains.]

Anya grew up in a laboratory, surrounded by scientists. Anya had a Mama, but that Mama is gone. But with the scientists, they gave Anya a power...the power to hear what people think. This power makes people hate and afraid of Anya, because Anya knows things.

Anya ran away from the laboratory and...became an orphan. Anya had several families until Papa took her in, but...Papa is a spy. He is a spy with a mission to unite the west and east for world peace. Mama is an assassin who takes out bad people. But the only person who knows all this is Anya.

If Papa finds out this, the mission will be in danger, so he will have to leave. If Mama finds out this, she will be afraid, too. Anya does not want to lose Anya's family.

[Okay, this is the last thing Adorabat expected he hear. She...]

[uh]

[...]

[She's having a little difficulty processing this. Hang in there, Anya. Even though Adorabat's silent, she doesn't hate you. Just trying to wrap her head around all the ??? she was just told.]

...

[Adorabat bat hugs Anya.]

A hero never abandons their friends, no matter how high the stakes. I'll help you with your mission. I'll try and get Mao Mao to help, too, when we get back home.

...

Anya can't let many people know...? That is the problem.

Papa wants things to be secret...

[but she doesn't reject the hug.]
violence_ensues: (Pleading)

[Well, that doesn't really sound helpful. Adirabat takes a deep breath, releases from the hug, and, with wings flailing at her sides...]

I'm afraid of the dentist!
violence_ensues: (Sad)

They're really, really scary and it hurts a lot going to them...!

But...

If I let me fear get in the way of being a hero, or stopping crime, then... I'm not really a hero. If I run away from the things I don't like, I miss out on all the things I do...!
