WEEK 1

WEEK ONE



This week, students at Ira Academy must return to class with their memories of the weekend hanging over them. The Principal is watching now, and he dislikes children even more than his initial draconian idea of education led everyone to believe. The rules revision is probably at the forefront of most people’s minds, along with the sinking paranoia of being monitored much more closely and more severely reprimanded for stepping out of line. This very empty academy building suddenly feels all the more claustrophobic. All students now have the option to commit murder and be freed from this school. Less than a week ago, you were teaching yourself to be friends with some of your fellow classmates. Will things remain that way, or will someone reveal themselves to be willing to take a life to escape?

But just because murder’s on the table doesn’t mean that your studies are off of it, and the Little Brothers are still here to helpfully encourage all students to complete their coursework. Despite being shepherded away at the end of the school dance announcement last night, this week the Prefect will be back for her office hours and, thankfully, less fixated on pulling off a successful weekend spelling bee and social event. Less thankfully, it seems she believes that completing your re-education as originally planned is the correct course of action. You’d do well to remember, perhaps, that right now your success reflects ultimately on her. Students who prefer to see how their fellow school denizen and prisoner-in-spirit can also sneak into the music room whenever it’s unoccupied to converse with A.

To that end, it also looks like someone’s posted a “Tutors and Study Groups” sign-up sheet on the hallway walls outside the A/V room. There are illustrated descriptions next to it, so even someone who doesn’t understand the writing should be able to glean its purpose. This seems like a good way for people who are interested in working together or helping one another with anything involved in school life. Students may make use of this resource as they will.

Finally, at the end of the hallway near the music room, a sliding wall has receded as if it was never there in the first place, revealing an unexplored area on this floor.. Hmm, what could be up there?

OOC NOTES


Welcome to Week 1! As with last week, if you have anything you’d like to investigate, you can bring mod responses in by pinging (INVESTIGATION) in your subject line. (SHEEP) for the Little Brothers. Unlike last week, Nanami can also be invited to participate in your threads with a (PREFECT) call-out. This is an option for anyone who wants non-private/event convos with her, if for some reason anyone wants to spend MORE time with her. If you are looking for information about the school’s mysteries, it's highly recommended you bring in the sheep or the mod journal instead!

Don’t forget your regains, and please submit your AC for week 0!

. . .

[ Hunter rubs at his arm. If Dylan is paying attention, he can see the moment Hunter's heart sinks into his guts. Like he'd been smacked in the feelings by a metric ton of realization. ]

I... I honestly don't know. How am I supposed to prove I'm telling the truth this time?

[ He doesn't sound sarcastic, or at least he doesn't think he does. ]
hashtagwoof: (there’s no way I would survive)

[personal profile] hashtagwoof 2022-08-23 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ Awww. Ok, he sit. He lies down. He whines in disappointment. ]
hashtagwoof: (And I can’t live up to)

[personal profile] hashtagwoof 2022-08-23 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Okay... Who keeps fish supplies but no fish?

[ Leaving all that be now this week's mystery crew can handle it tomorrow. He wanders over to flip through the magazines. Anything interesting here? ]
hashtagwoof: Blep? (Or me for just standing there?)

[personal profile] hashtagwoof 2022-08-23 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Looks at her. Looks at the door. Paws at the door.

Open door plz. ]
violence_ensues: (Confused)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2022-08-23 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Good. Now can you tell me why you're being weird?
keyringwitness: (Nervous)

[personal profile] keyringwitness 2022-08-23 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
N- No... just the maid of the house...
keyringwitness: (Default)

[personal profile] keyringwitness 2022-08-23 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
I- I- Uh- Guh- N- No-

[oh wait that's mean time to backpedal even as she blushes more]

N- N- Not with those, um, those ones, at any rate. I have s- some other drawings you might like, though...
keyringwitness: (Pondering)

[personal profile] keyringwitness 2022-08-23 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Mmmm... I, um, may have read some detective novels, b- but I'm not exactly a qualified doctor...

It's a long shot, but does anyone here have medical skills?
noblesnow: Reika making an exaggerated angry expression ((R) an unforgivable offense!)

[personal profile] noblesnow 2022-08-23 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
School is always important!
violence_ensues: (Cute)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2022-08-23 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
I dunwanna draw over your drawings. We can draw together!

[See icon.]
noblesnow: Reika looking pensive about something (and wearing an absurdly large bow tie) ((R) come to think of it)

[personal profile] noblesnow 2022-08-23 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
I could find a textbook and learn the basics.

[This is a better idea than it sounds like, since it's Reika, but she's still maybe not an ideal candidate?]
canismajorcontrolfreak: (You've missed the mark)

[personal profile] canismajorcontrolfreak 2022-08-23 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
I'm...not sure you can.

[A sigh. He notices the moment, and represses any instinct to let up on his tone.]

But. I will give you a one chance. We managed to go a week without killing each other, and at this point, I am not about to let myself-or anyone else-get killed. Not if I can help it. No matter who they are.

So I'll take your deal. We'll put everything at home to the side. I won't even say anything to the others about this.

All you'll need to do is stay out of trouble, and keep that promise about getting the police when we get home. Do you think you can handle that?

[The question is sarcastic, but he'll still wait for an answer.]
noblesnow: Reika looking particularly downcast. ((R) what should I do)

[personal profile] noblesnow 2022-08-23 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
I think we should all be prepared, to whatever extent is reasonably possible. If... something does happen, that means there will be at least two people we can't rely on to help us.

[personal profile] curdle 2022-08-23 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
I thank thee for it.
noblesnow: Reika looking resigned, with Nao clinging to her waist ((R) this happens every sunday at 8:40)

[personal profile] noblesnow 2022-08-23 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
As for myself...

I live with my older brother, my parents, and my grandfather. I attend Nanairogaoka Middle School, where I serve as student council vice president. I'm also a member of the archery club.

[...

She's pretty transparently internally debating whether to reveal some other thing that we definitely have no idea what it could possibly be.]
noblesnow: Reika looking thoughtfully at a tanzaku (tanabata wish) ((R) what do I do with this thing)

[personal profile] noblesnow 2022-08-23 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think it's your fault. You weren't the one who put it there, right?

[...if nothing else, it's hard to imagine him cramming any kind of device into the vending machine with, you know, paws.]
noblesnow: Reika looking puzzled ((R) is that so?)

[personal profile] noblesnow 2022-08-23 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[It is beginning to dawn on Reika that Hunter's behavior is somewhat odd right now.]

Do you want to go outside?
canismajorcontrolfreak: (Do you still see sky?)

[personal profile] canismajorcontrolfreak 2022-08-23 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah, but it still feels bad when something you helped make ends up covering someone in kibble. Plus, even after all the work we put into it, it's still hard to control, to the point that it does this.

[gesturing to what kibble remains on Reika's poor clothes.]
holyironmade: (Blush)

[personal profile] holyironmade 2022-08-23 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! It is about how He has brought us all together. In truth I like to consider the peoples of the world as a message of "universalism" - that we may still rest in peace even without devoting ourselves to the Church as I know it. So it makes me very happy to have company in church when it is not even necessary.
hashtagwoof: (Then raise your voice up!)

[personal profile] hashtagwoof 2022-08-23 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Reika, Hunter is sitting on the floor like a dog and staring at you with puppy dog eyes. Of course he's acting weird right now. ]

Arf!

hashtagwoof: Pleasantly Pleased (I wait patiently outside)

[ So, after snapping out of that embarrassing dog brain episode, Hunter's up in the lounge looking for a distraction that won't set him off again.

What he sees first is the hand. Kinda bone like, but not in the way that makes him wanna chew on it. He's actually impressed by the detail work. Can it actually move, too?

Then he glances up and witnesses her drawings for all of five minutes before she slams the book shut. ]


Woah, hey! [ He tries to give her a chill grin. Like, attempting to appear cool and not secretly dying from various forms of shame that's piled up over the past week or so. ] That's some really nice sketching you've done there. Did you make the hand too?

[ Here he points over to said hand. ]
holyironmade: (Ethereal)

[personal profile] holyironmade 2022-08-23 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle...

[She will let that stand on its own, thinking he might have heard that one before. Please donate to her GoFundMe if you have more cash than the rest of us. X-Laws could use some gold plating on their boat. His avarice is far from impressive to her, and yet, a combination of circumstances has kept Jeanne from tipping over the edge to repulsion. Two people looking at her just feels really nice, and Yasu is so happy for once. Maybe she needs it to be an order to be included. Jeanne cannot judge. She needs to hurt to feel allowed to live.]

Yes! You should come to lunch with us.
holyironmade: (Know-It-All)

[personal profile] holyironmade 2022-08-23 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
I will see if I can recall more stories of the struggles Jesus Christ faced on earth.
Edited 2022-08-23 05:02 (UTC)
holyironmade: (Holy)

[personal profile] holyironmade 2022-08-23 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
...I see.

[She withdraws her hand.]

The opportunity to eat it is important for us to feel connected to God. Truthfully, we have a ceremony when it is consumed for the first time after the child has been to some classes and has learned all the details.

[Guess Fret didn't do that... He's thinking ahead to realize it though. Very respectful for someone not invested, Jeanne can appreciate that.]
panglici: (would rather not make eye contact)

I'm glad you've got them. Two years for you, too? That's a hell of a coincidence.
