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!

[Anya knows she could teach others to fight just like Mama had. She could. But she won't. She stays silent. She might join in every now and then but...she's keeping to herself. It's not nice or right - she KNOWS that...

But she can't help being suspicious.]

...Anya...

If it makes you feel better, what you know can be just between you, me, and Sonic. Maybe Adorabat and Hunter, too.

[spychic]

...You, Sonic, Hunter, Emma, and Carrie.

Adorabat still wants to be nice to everyone. Even the people who like the murderer.

Anya can't trust that. Even if Anya likes her and she is nice....Anya can't trust that.

[lets_dewey_it]

...I understand. I'll accept that. _{[He's instinctively reaching to pat her head but stops... She trusts him enough to teach him these things, but... Does she trust-trust him?]}

[spychic]

....

You and Sonic are like Anya's older brothers, Dewey.

Even if you end up hurting Anya...

Anya will not stop caring about you.

[She leans up.

You can pat her head. It's okay.]

[lets_dewey_it]

...Edward told me to keep on protecting you. No matter what. I'll never hurt you. I won't let anyone hurt you. _{[Surprise, he's full-on hugging!]}

[spychic]

Anya knows. Anya knows, Dewey.

[Even if she's tearing up a little. She hugs Dewey in return.]

[lets_dewey_it]

_{[He's going to let his tears flow as well.]}
