WEEK 1

[whimsicalism]

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!

[Adorabat smiles. See icon.]

You're welcome!

[She then flutters over and sits down on some of the keys, making a little bit of noise.]

So wanna play together?

[noblesnow]

[Reika plays a third note. Good, Dewey seems to be getting into it.]

Are you trying to compose something?

[She does not actually believe this.]

[spychic]

[Anya quickly shakes her head.]

Anya understands....it's been scary times.

Anya is okay. Anya...is scared. But if Anya stays strong, then other people can believe and be strong thanks to Anya. Anya's Mama and Papa would be proud of Anya.

[keyringwitness]

A... cartoon?

[Is Yasu going to have to explain sequential animation to Adorabat,]

[temmapathy]

Just scientists, I think. But they do have security guards who I bet have guns.

[temmapathy]

It's fine. I'm just worried about Yasu, that's all.

I hope whatever your plan is works out.

[violence_ensues]

Oh! What didn't you say so?

I don't watch very many cartoons. I usually either train with Mao Mao, fight criminals and monsters, or hang out with Mao Mao and Badgerclops. Who are your friends?

[shinedsobright]

A ceremony? [FOR A CRACKER?? He is confused but yes, trying to be respectful] How old do they do that at?

yard sard (and movie)

[noblesnow]

[This time around, the vending machine doesn't pelt Reika with anything, so she gets to set up all her crap in the cafeteria in peace. She'll be back later to pick up anything that goes unclaimed, since she doesn't want to just leave a mess...

...but rather than keep a close eye on it, she heads for the reception area, where she can be found fiddling with the electronics--testing the volume level, that sort of thing--and pushing chairs and couches around to give them a better view of the screen. It's probably not hard to guess what she's up to, since she's left the Alice in Wonderland DVD on the table.]

[lets_dewey_it]

Eh... Not at first. But, now that we're here...

[spychic]

[This is about when Anya stops by, and she sees---]

Peanuts!!! Anya loves peanuts! Can Anya have the peanuts?

[lets_dewey_it]

I'm sure they'd be proud of you too. _{[He gave a somber smile.]} It's been hard for me to keep that strength, too, but... You, Sonic, Adorabat, you give me confidence.

[spychic]

Your family would be proud of you too. [Anya says, sincerely.] Anya will give you all the confidence you need! Sonic and Dewey give Anya confidence, too!!!

[though she hadn't bonded with Adorabat much since their initial volatile reaction, but still...]

MOVIE NIGHT

[noblesnow]

[Eventually, Reika is satisfied with how she's set things up, and she goes around and tells everyone she's going to be showing a movie in the reception room.

Which she is! It is, in fact, the Disney version of Alice in Wonderland. Shocking! She's arranged the furniture so there's room for everyone to sit, as noted, and she's even made popcorn that she's distributed into several mixing bowls. She starts the DVD around seven, though it takes a few minutes to struggle through everything that's coming soon to own on video and Disney DVD so people who arrive late will have some extra time.]

[lets_dewey_it]

Thank you... _{[Man he's about to cry again..]}

[noblesnow]

You may! I was saving them just for you, Anya-chan.

[Reika hands the pack of peanuts to Anya like she's awarding her a trophy.]

[spychic]

[Anya toddles over closer.]

Do you need a hug?

Anya will help.

[spychic]

[Anya is delighted!]

Yaaaay! Thank you, Reika! If you ever need anything, Anya will help you.

[Not that she wouldn't have helped anyway. Anya is a good girl. She takes the peanuts, smiling at the bag before she gently opens it and takes out a peanut, popping it into her mouth.

It's so good. It reminds her of home - which is kind of sad - but she's happy.]

[holyironmade]

Seven, give or take. The more important rite of initiation is at thirteen. You... might actually have heard of a bar mitzvah?

[Fret just somehow gives off that vibe. Like he has seen a newspaper cartoon (Jeanne doesn't realize they're videos) of a glass being stepped on at a wedding.]

[noblesnow]

[So Anya can be bribed using peanuts. Good to know.]

Thank you. Actually, there is something you could help me with, if you think you're up to it.

[spychic]

[Unfortunately, yes. This is true.]

[Anya looks at Reika, tilting her head curiously.]

What is it? Anya is up to it.

[violence_ensues]

[Adorabat is one of the first arrivals.]

MOVIE!

[spychic]

[Anya waddles in, taking a bowl of popcorn, sitting in a comfortable seat.]

Anya hasn't seen this movie.

[It's not a Bond movie, or another spy movie, or a spy movie Papa would actually let her see with no fuss like Spies in Disguise...so she doesn't know it. How exciting!]

[noblesnow]

I wonder if you could help me make some popcorn.

[spychic]

Yes!

[Anya chirps, bouncing on her feet.]

Anya can help make popcorn!! Is this for a movie??? Anya can use the microwave!!!!
