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!

INVESTIGATION/Open

[Well. He knows where he’s going.

Records Room.

There has to be something her to make…anything make sense. Just. At all.







Later he is just wandering around. Go ahead and bother him. He is just trying to clear his head more.]

[whimsicalism]

[Are you looking to break a lock or two, Sonic?]

[canreallymove]

[HE IS.

If he can. So let's get breaking!]

[whimsicalism]

[It's not easy without a combination but it's possible to break one up, with a hammer from the workshop. You've opened up a filing cabinet. The light's not good in here so you might want to get a flashlight from the school or just carry some things into the student council room. Either way... what you seem to have found is some of the papers from the Little Fears room as well as... typed notes? A translation, maybe?]

[canreallymove]

[H u h.

Time to read them and see if any of it makes a lick of sense!]

[whimsicalism]

[Well, it's definitely understandable even if it might not make sense right away. There's a 'subject' header with a long string numbers that don't make a lot of sense then the following:

"Child from world [Insert another long string of numbers that Sonic can't parse]. Lives on family ranch. Fears being attacked by wild animals while working with her horse. Suggestion: Send werewolves from container [insert string of numbers] to attack while working."

A lot of these seem to be about the fears of various children and what monsters would be best to go against them. From werewolves to an insect pretending to be a baby sitter... strange, though. None of the suggestions are about child-like monsters. No dolls, no creepy twins or ghosts. Nothing.]

[canreallymove]

…

[Nothing at all, huh. That’s fine, that’s totally fine, totally-He is going to definitely yoink these. Because this isn’t worrisome, nope.

What else will he find?]

[whimsicalism]

[There's some mention of 'fear power' in some of the notes. Saying that one subject may give more than another but... the context for this isn't here. If he looks in the other cabinets there's just more and more of this sort of thing. Someone's been collecting a lot of data, here.]

[canreallymove]

[Yeah, he'll say.

Which actually brings up an important question.

Are any of the students in these files? And...is it Father who has been collecting this? Or is there indications of anyone else being involved?...]

[whimsicalism]

[Judging by the large string of numbers, finding ones that match you or the other students will take hours if not days.

There is no indication either way on who was collecting the information. You can, however, easily enough figure that this information came from the Little Fears room. For what reason or by whom, though, are questions that can’t be answered at the moment. This room is clear.]
