WEEK FIVE
WEEK FIVE
There's one thing that belongs in Closetland: Monsters.
It was a monster that brought the students here to begin with, and it's a monster who controls their lives now. By now, some have even accused their classmates of turning into--or always being--monsters themselves.
The academy is just as cold as it was last week, autumn air seeping in through the unfriendly architecture and the artificial light seeming darker than before. The occasionally cloud of purple fog snakes through the hallways at ground level, a constant reminder of the new presence haunting the school and her role in the past five weeks of torment. Now that Kakuya is back in a body of her own making, the music room is silent, though the rooms and halls of the Academy themselves occasionally fill with a low, haunting flute melody. With the school's new overlord already wishing her ill, Nanami's already deflating power and free roam capabilities are more or less completely limited as well: She's just one more toy in the box.
The stairwell has opened into another new floor. Upon closer inspection, it seems to be the uppermost one. This is the top of Ira Academy, and while it likely bears some new answers and some new locations to try and find a solution to your plight, is there anything that can heal some of the rifts that formed from the accusations thrown at the last trial? Still, if you don't find answers, then you'll be here playing this eternal deadly game.
Is the devil you know better than the devil you don't?

OOC NOTES
Welcome to Week 4! Nanami has joined the party! She no longer has office hours but still be contacted privately, as can Kakuya, who is no longer stuck in the music room. New locations are now open, and some minor adjustments have been made to the IC profiles and rules. 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. The SHEEP are still taggable, though you may find them in a...different mood.
You now have a week to make sure your AC in for last week and to start collecting AC for this week. Remember to submit your regains, and sign up for a spot exploring this week's mystery if you want to!
THURSDAY
MINI EVENT: CRANE OPERATOR
The presence doesn’t say anything but the image of the dance studio comes to mind. Something important is waiting for you there, waiting for everyone.
As soon as people start moving into the dance studio there’s something new there. Something that shouldn’t be there. On a little nightstand table is a landline phone with the cord leading to nowhere. It’s ringing.]
no subject
She heads towards it promptly, and then sees the phone.
She toddles over...and picks it up.]
Hello?
Anya is talking.
no subject
--Anya-chan?!
Anya???
[And also, somewhere a bit further away:]
Then- hang on, is that a line to the living?!
no subject
...
A--Ah....Reika?
Luz, Thomasin, Edward, Valmont, Yuta, Dylan, Jeanne...?
[She rapidfires off the names.]
Are you all here?
no subject
[ Okay, THIS sure is a thing! ]
Anya, can you put them on speaker?!
no subject
[Anya glances at him. She's not sure what to press, but she holds the phone like a lifeline.]

[Yasu sounds... nothing like the Yasu most of these people have known, really.]
Oh, right, if Ao is there: Nanami sends her regards. And something with, um, lots of xs and a few os?
[Might as well confirm a theory of hers and sow chaos in one fell swoop.]

Uh... Hello?
no subject
We're here! Oh, gosh, it's SO nice to hear you all again.

[ Who is this? Oh, well, he'll get to you when he enables speakerphone. ]
no subject
[Adorabat pauses the conversation he's having with Slimy. She looks to the door to her room.]
...Slimy, I'll be right back, okay? Stay here.
[With a quick pet, she heads to leave and head on over to the dance studio. There, she sees a phone. She recognizes it as similar to that one phone Mao Mao used to talk to his mother about Mao Mao's jerk father. She approaches and decides to pick up up.]
Adorabat speaking.
no subject
[Oh, this is delightful. 7/10 for presentation, with those few points taken off for not making the destination spooky enough. Regardless, the best moment of Yasu's life came from jumping feetfirst into a meticulously-crafted frightful moment, so she has no hesitation in picking up.]
Hello?
no subject
I never thought I'd be the spooky voice on the other side of a phone...
IN THE RIGHT PLACE THIS TIME
Hello?
actually, edited to include
RESURRECT US AT ONCE!!
Re: actually, edited to include

[Well, time to pick up.]
If this is Father, I’m hangin’ up.

Quiet, thee! Let the ghost phone alone.

THOMASIN!!!???
[Oh no a ghost phone!!!??? Has it happened, has he finally snapped???!!!!!]
no subject
We have Kakuya's flute. And we might have found something that could help against her.
[Okay, now everything reconvenes in the speakerphone thread!! So perhaps any follow up questions can be asked while everyone is taking turns?]
no subject
"I can't keep the connection open... I'm sorry... I'll try to help you again if I can later. Please, just keep going. Just... don't do what that man did. "
The girl grows silent as the phone clicks. The phone grows silent. Your friends may be dead but they're not forgotten. Maybe one day soon you'll be able to use what they told you but for now it might be for the best to leave before Kakuya finds out.]
no subject
[She turns to Anya and pats her on the shoulder. You- [sniff] did a good job keeping ever- everything ordered... thanks.
[After that, Adorabat will allow Slimy to get on her head/back and head on back to her room. Dylan... Adorabat misses him, but everyone will find a way to get everyone back. And then everyone will be happy and together again.]
