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?

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!

I wish I could punch her for you.

[Although...if he lets her, she'll settle for giving him a hug about it.]

[hashtagwoof]

... You're the second person in a row who's offered to do that.

[ Again with the mixed feelings. ]

I'm planning on getting the police involved if we make it out of here. You think you could help me with that?

[temmapathy]

Yeah, I can help with that. Maybe tell the entire Internet what she's doing so everyone knows she sucks and wants to hurt puppies? That way even if she bribes the police lots of people will know what she's done. And I bet we can find somewhere where you won't have to stay with her while we do that.

[Also, how's he feeling about her moving to give him a hug?]

[hashtagwoof]

[ He will accept hug... After he's done grinning like a gremlin at her suggestion. ]

That's. Brilliant.

And I know exactly where it'll wreck her most.

[temmapathy]

[That gets a smirk from Emma as well.] Great! She's so going down.

[hashtagwoof]

And her brand.

Like, you know how my profile mentioned she owned a fashion brand? Animal rights activists had protested her use of fur in her products for years until the manufacturers finally switched to faux fur. If they found out how far her thing for pet fur went, they'd blow up Tweeter so badly the drama will go viral.

All we need to do is get the right evidence in the right hands.

[temmapathy]

I'm guessing the easiest way would be to just record her whenever she's yelling about her plans? [Honestly, recording her yelling at Hunter would probably work too, but she doesn't like the idea of purposefully sending him back into that situation.]

[hashtagwoof]

[ He winces at that idea... Ya know, he did kind of enjoy not hearing from her while he's been here, but... ]

Why do that when I already have files related to those plans saved on my laptop?

[temmapathy]

Oh wow, that's perfect! They're still safe, right? The machine didn't mess up your files or anything?

[hashtagwoof]

Everything seems to be in tact... Though I can't even get to some of my programs because of the no wi-fi thing.

[temmapathy]

[Oof.] Hopefully we can get a signal once we get out of here.
