WEEK SIX

[whimsicalism]

WEEK SIX

Death itself isn't an end to this sinister game, and the only outcome is to play until you die.

Even without the boundaries being pushed too much last week, it would seem that the stakes continue to rise. Students will enter the new week with three of their number taken away. The class is half its size by now, the number of dead underscored by the number of dorm doors that don't open every morning, the number of seats that aren't filled out in any given room.

The atmosphere of Ira Academy has always been hostile. This week, however, the malice is more present than ever, choking the air. It's easy to feel watched at all times, especially with the knowledge that everyone is bound to the one orchestrating this ongoing killing game. Doors will sometimes open themselves invitingly only to slam closed a few moments later, mercurial in temperament and just as susceptible to the dark anger creeping through the building as the students.

For now, no new locations have opened up to explore in the school. The fifth floor remains the tallest in the building, and there's a certain sense that everything is just bound to repeat itself until there's nothing left.

Though same things remain the same, others feel as if they're on the precipice of change. Just how long can everyone go on under the threat of further violence? Even Kakuya seems to be worried now that her game can't persist like this forever. Perhaps one of the other Academy denizens can shine some light on things throughout the week, or your belief that you can save yourselves and your friends will open up new doors. There have to be answers out there: Who will find them?

OOC NOTES

Welcome to the final week of Round 2! There will be no traditional motive-murder-trial set up this week, and instead, we will try to solve the Ira Academy situation once and for all. Information on the final investigation for this week will go live later this afternoon. Characters will be split into exploration groups - Nanami will come along for this ride!

While there are no new areas for investigation this week, please feel free to ping mod characters for any public needs or reach out to them on their private posts for things your character would prefer to discuss 1:1. We hope you enjoy the ride!

Re: FINAL MYSTERY: The Final Game

[lets_dewey_it]

H-HEY! Out! Get out! NOW! _{[He's wildly swinging his axe as he shoots out of bed, but only manages to embed it ib the floor and walls without hitting any of the dolls... And then they got into their huge crowd and started running somewhere...]}

[whimsicalism]

[The dolls seem to silently follow the direction... that is until the huge army of dolls seems to appear. They're heading out the door into the playground.]

[lets_dewey_it]

A-Alright! Thattaway, everyone! _{[Dewey tries to get every student's attention, following the dolls...]}

[whimsicalism]

[As you enter the playground... something is very clearly amiss. The dolls aren't leading you anywhere, they seem to be dismantling the playground equipment for something. The slide, the climbing bars... even the shed with it's equipment is being carried off by many tiny hands. This only seems to be a starting place for... something?

Like an army of ants they're carrying the pieces to somewhere else. They're headed for the stairs.]

[lets_dewey_it]

O-Okay, is this the point we stop them?! Should I start breaking them?! What're they doing?! Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!

[whimsicalism]

[They seem to ignore everyone in favor of carrying these pieces as well as grabbing anything they can on the way there. Lamps, plants, magazines, various things from the various rooms... it seems the army is gathering up everything they can.]

[lets_dewey_it]

_{[Maybe he should have invested more time into making chemical bombs, but at this point, the only way he can take out more of them in a faster time is grabbing his axe with both hands and spinning in a circle, trying to mow down as much as he could... before quickly falling to the ground, dizzy.]}

[whimsicalism]

[It might not have done much even if you set the entire group on fire. They're determined on doing something. Maybe trying to find out what that is might be better.

They seem to be going to the third floor.]

[hashtagwoof]

AFTER THEM!

[ He's chasing after the dolls and their dismantled things. ]

[whimsicalism]

[In the floor of grand vaulted ceilings, it seems that the dolls have busy making something in the library. Even the bookshelves have been dismantled. The books are piled up in towering stacks as the dolls seem to be making a... building of some kind?

It looks familiar.]

[violence_ensues]

...Wait... Are they making the skewl?

[lets_dewey_it]

THATTAWAY! _{[Time to chase the wave!]}

[violence_ensues]

[Adorabat joins in after a small incident, wielding her nailbat.]

GET BACK HERE! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

[temmapathy]

[Emma catches up after karate-ing a few dolls, doing her best to follow the group as the dolls keep heading up.]

[hashtagwoof]

[ Hunter's first response was to start barking at them, but the sight of the small army coming out of every nook and cranny spooked him out of it. So guess he has to follow them with the nailbat in his hand. ]

An entire army of dolls, you have got to be kidding me.

[thisisfinethisisfinethisisfine-]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH-

[Don't mind him, he just woke up and is now running out of his room screaming. No biggie.]

[whimsicalism]

[You better be careful, Sonic. There's many little bodies to trip over.]

[canreallymove]

[Yup he's trying to avoid them all as he runs around screaming. Dear god if he ever gets home, he is never telling the Freedom Fighters about this.]

THIS IS THE WORST AND UNCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLEEEEEST!!!

[whimsicalism]

[They seem to be heading towards the playground.]

[shinedsobright]

[There's an angry cat yowl as the door opens from the dolls flooding out of Fret's room. Some vending machine regains are NOT tolerating being poked at! So many little creatures to pounce!! Fret's just trying to avoid them as they all roll away, though he does have his dueling sword on him as it has been lately. He might be sleeping with it. Fortunately, Neku doesn't follow him into the hall and just focuses on capturing pieces for herself.]

Looks like we're all getting toyed with this time, huh?

[whimsicalism]

[The cat takes out a few dolls but it's like crushing a handful of ants when there's thousands surrounding you.

A toy toying with her toys with other toys. It sounds like a meme, doesn't it?]

[canreallymove]

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!!! WHAT ARE THESE THINGS DOING!?!?

[Kicking things as he tries to follow them.]

[whimsicalism]

[They seem to be heading to the third floor for whatever purpose.]

[shinedsobright]

They're heading all over the place! Does that mean we have to split up?!

[canreallymove]

I think we should stay together just in case!

[To the third floor?]
