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!

[Huh! Are they also older issues?]

First part

Shamash!

[Big crowd gathering at the store today. Jeanne thinks it's not a good time yet to put in her coins, and almost gave up and left, but now she's running over anyway. Outside of exercises Jeanne does not break out into a run literally ever.]

SHAMASH!!!

[She puts out her hands expecting to be given the ball, looking sternly at Dylan.]

Please, show him some respect!
holyironmade: (Shock)

Sometimes you have too many threads but you just want to note something for the record

[personal profile] holyironmade 2022-08-23 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, dear...

[She is coming over with her handkerchief to help clean up the kibble. She will note for later that the peanut brand is for Anya. And most importantly. She is looking very longingly at that ghost movie.]
temmapathy: (suspicious)

[Well then. If she goes to check out the classroom textbooks, do any of them have that stamp?]

Is...is tha-he...alive?

Ooh ooh ooh! Did he fight giant monsters? Or a zillion of them? All at once?
temmapathy: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] temmapathy 2022-08-23 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Lots of food for thought, there. She'll probably grab some samples for the next meeting if she remembers.]
temmapathy: (attention)

[personal profile] temmapathy 2022-08-23 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Hmm...]

Can you tell me a bit more about them? So I know what traits to base their sign names on.
temmapathy: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] temmapathy 2022-08-23 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
They do come in to get the laundry, but I think that's it.

[Emma nods.] British Sign Language is what I grew up learning, but I learned a bit of American Sign Language after moving. [She's still more familiar with BSL though.]
canreallymove: (D'oh!)

You're a maid?

Wait, aren't you a kid though????

[Is that really a question SONIC is asking-]
canreallymove: (say what?)

[personal profile] canreallymove 2022-08-23 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Not where I come from, it isn't.

[Technically. All things considered?]
canreallymove: (D'oh!)

2/2

[personal profile] canreallymove 2022-08-23 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
...I should probably go into details, huh.
violence_ensues: (Awe)

[Prepare for major fangirl.]

Mao Mao's a really cool hero he crashed into the ruby pure heart and he has a sword and he's teaching me how to be a hero and he has a cool aerocycle and he has cool sword special moves and badgerclops has a cool robot arm that can transform into all sortsa things like a laser cannon and he was a bad guy but now he's a good guy-

[SLOW DOWN, BATKID.]
violence_ensues: (Impressed)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2022-08-23 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, please!
britbrat: (what?)

[personal profile] britbrat 2022-08-23 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...Why does this guy have to keep being so freakin cool. ]

If you wish. I certainly won't stop you.

[ please tell him more *A* ]
temmapathy: (grin)

[personal profile] temmapathy 2022-08-23 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa, whoa, slow down! [Emma waves a hand in a "slow-down" gesture as Adorabat babbles, before nodding.]

Okay, I think I got what you said...

[She signs "red-heart" using the lip-tapping sign for "red" and the core synonym for "heart," along with "robot-arm" using the first sign for "robot."]
canreallymove: (mondo uncool man!)

[sigh]

Right, so Mobotropolis was where I was born. It was an awesome place, and it had it all, you know? It was environmentally friendly, we were at peace with almost everyone. It was all cool!

But there was this Great War that King Acorn was fighting against...uh...someone? I dunno who.

[Curse him being a baby when this happened!]

But anyways, one day out of nowhere this weirdo named Julian-who, by the way, is one of two heumins who just appeared out of nowhere outta the three heumins that ever lived on Mobius, I'm pretty sure-comes around and is like "Hey, I can help you win!" So the king, being a good guy was all, "Yeah! And once we win we'll disband the army so we can leave in peace!" But Julian was a no-good dude who wanted to take over the world. So he used the army he built for the king to overthrow him and roboticize everyone!

Ninety percent of the planet's population! Every civilization on Mobius! Clean water, clean air, any chance to see the sun for more than a few minutes at a time, and anything remotely cool and decent! POOF! Gone! Nothin' left but ruins and pollution and robot slaves, and at the center is the renamed Robotropolis, the nightmare city he rules full of factories and SWATBots.

There's only a few hundred of us that are free now. We were all that's left to fight Buttnik and his lackey, Snivnose.


Right, Julian renamed himself to Dr. Robotnik, in case you're wonderin'.

[Yasu can see why this would be a good motive for some of the other students. They came from supernatural stories with larger-than-life foes to grapple with.

Her, on the other hand...]


What would even count as a "threat," [Yasu murmurs to herself.] O- One of the master's children sometimes talked about w- wolves in the forest, but... I think those are extinct...
