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!

[In the group Sonic brought? No, but there is a lot of these papers in the records room. It’s not unthinkable to believe that you’d find familiar ones if you looked through every single one but it would take a lot of time.]

[temmapathy]

[Well that's not worrying at all! Well, she supposes she can at least check a bit: does it seem like kids with close ID numbers are from the same general place or something like that?]

[whimsicalism]

In fact, yes! The world number seems to be the same, too, for those cases.]

[temmapathy]

[Hm. They could probably spend some time to decode this, but it doesn't seem like it's got any particular insights other than their own psychological weaknesses. Which would probably be rude. She hands the papers back to Sonic.]

The numbers definitely mean something about the locations those kids are from, but we'd need a key to see if any of us are actually in there.
