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!

[ Just worried over our collective nemesis (/gaurdian in Hunter's case) nbd ]

[ Adorabat's yelling grabs his attention for a moment.

... Adorabat and Sonic are ready to fight, some people are unimpressed, and at this point there's reason to believe some of these kids could hold their own in a fight... ]
noblesnow: Reika looking particularly downcast. ((R) what should I do)

[personal profile] noblesnow 2022-08-23 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Reika has no context for why Sonic is upset, but she knows something must have happened, something worse than the events of the past few days.]

Do you want to talk about it?
hashtagwoof: (Freedom is a lie in social cage’s eye)

[ ... Turning his attention back to Dylan and speaks in a hushed tone. ]

You know what, let's go with that idea. Let's hold a secret meeting to figure out who our enemies might be, and from there we can collectively figure out how to deal with all of them at once.

[ This is a wild idea, but what other choice do we have? Other than murder? ]
keyringwitness: (Avoidant)

If, um, you think that'll work, Miss Reika...

[Yasu does not think this will work.]

Oh, cool, you been to space too!

[Just. Casually.]

PoodleWolf? That a game?
noblesnow: Reika looking puzzled ((R) is that so?)

[personal profile] noblesnow 2022-08-23 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, is he a communist?

[...you know what, I have absolutely no idea how to call this one]

[Yasu looks ready to bolt when Hunter first starts talking, too mortified of all the embarrassingly intimate scenes that Hunter must've seen (handholding, how scandalous!) her draw, not to mention the plethora of sketches picturing similarly salacious activities that already marred the page.

But when he directs the conversation to the hand instead, she relaxes slightly. Now that Yasu can talk about without devolving into a stuttering, squeaking mess.]


Y- Yes. I'm, um, trying to make it work like a human hand... fully a- a- ar- articulate, with joints and everything... it's definitely a, er, work in progress, but I'm hoping to get it done in a few days.
canismajorcontrolfreak: (Between the you you are)

[personal profile] canismajorcontrolfreak 2022-08-23 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Any time, Sonic.

[Patting on his back.]
canismajorcontrolfreak: (Do you still see sky?)

[personal profile] canismajorcontrolfreak 2022-08-23 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dylan definitely got distracted as well, because...a lot of people were taking the situation well?? Better than them, at least. Plans to fight, apathy, and generally just not being too concerned with the threat.

It takes a second for him to focus on the conversation again.]


Y-yeah, good idea. It would be good to know who exactly we could be up against.

Any place in mind to hold a meeting?

[If it's a secret, part of him is tempted to suggest a dorm room, since it feels less likely to get an intruder there, but with this many people-well, this many humans, it might not be enough space...]
canismajorcontrolfreak: (If you just see spots...)

1/?

[personal profile] canismajorcontrolfreak 2022-08-23 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, their more really for the future and a bit of prete-

YOU'VE BEEN TO SPACE?!

[He's met two people who have been in space, if not for where they were he could die happy.]
canreallymove: (antoine's a dweeb!)

[personal profile] canreallymove 2022-08-23 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure have! Yeah, Sal would probably be all “Sonic, that satellite was in the thermosphere so it’s not really space”, but—

Come on, Rote and I had to take a rocket, you could see Mobius out the window, it was all black beyond that, it was totally space.
canismajorcontrolfreak: (Clouds are spots)

[personal profile] canismajorcontrolfreak 2022-08-23 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, definitely!

[Maybe not as impressive as, say, going to Mars, but one of the last layers of the atmosphere is nothing to look down on, especially for a dog that's never left Earth!]

Okay, asked it for Ava, only fair to ask you-what was the best part about it? Was it zero gravity? It's gotta be zero gravity!
cellpreservation: ([Sweat] on my battered)

[personal profile] cellpreservation 2022-08-23 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ma'am that sounds so fake.]

Wild animals?
cellpreservation: ([Sweat] hide and seek)

[personal profile] cellpreservation 2022-08-23 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's hope so...
cellpreservation: ([Annoyed] but when I wake up)

[personal profile] cellpreservation 2022-08-23 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Are they just greedy?
canreallymove: (say what?)

[personal profile] canreallymove 2022-08-23 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
A comma-what?
canismajorcontrolfreak: (Do you still see sky?)

[personal profile] canismajorcontrolfreak 2022-08-23 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I-I'm...more experienced with dogs, but...my mum did teach me a few things, and I'm usually the one to take care of injuries, back home.

[Not that they will need, no one will murder, no one will die here.]
holyironmade: (Pray)

[personal profile] holyironmade 2022-08-23 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Family...

[How difficult to not see or touch them. Hear them, smell them, lick them. What do dogs do, sleep in piles? Even if he were a Cheaper by the Dozen human, it would be far from Jeanne's experience.

She. Should help. She begins to cautiously pet him on the head.]
holyironmade: (Alone)

playground

[Well, that was a thing. It completely interrupted Jeanne's post-class plans. She is now sitting on top of the jungle gym, with the two dresses and yellow raincoat fluttering on some of the lower bars. She's looking over her giant haul of stuff on the blacktop, which includes two live creatures that at this point she assumes are someone else's pets. At least she has an important duty of some sort.

Spirit Ball Shamash floats over her shoulder. Since acquiring him from Dylan on Monday, she will be keeping it with her at all times unless otherwise noted, though sometimes tucked away more subtly.]


Do you judge them, Shamash? [...seems to be talking to her little buddy about the pets on the ground, trying to prompt any kind of response at all.] Of course you do not. They know not what they do.

classroom

I cannot believe it had nothing to do with A Little Princess... Hm!

[After some time and the not-weather getting worse, she is ready to return to her original plans. You can find her like this on subsequent days if you want. She is reading a French-English bilingual teaching edition of The Little Prince, and the book has cheered her up a fair amount. That is when your character comes in!]

Do you have a moment? [You do? Great!] I was talking with Mistress Prefect about studying written foreign languages while I am here. She suggested forming a study group. What do you think? [Are you the fellow student or the tutor?]

[Adorabat is drawn to the cards. She flutters over and picks them up.]

Did you get these from the machine? I know some cool tricks with them!
canismajorcontrolfreak: (Do you still see sky?)

[Perhaps a bit unconsciously, he leans into it. It's comforting, and when he gets feels like this, he really shouldn't turn comfort away.

Still, after a moment, he pulls back, not too suddenly at least.]


S-sorry, I'm just...worried, you know?
