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!

[Reika looks... concerned, at best, when the motive drops, for reasons that we OOCly can probably all guess. It's not until a few moments after the speakers cut off that her expression shifts to one of confusion.]

Bonus pay?

[cellpreservation]

How many people have enemies that actually need pay?

[Just from looking around, his guess is... not too many.]

[noblesnow]

I've never heard of any of mine getting paid.

[You know, the ones she definitely doesn't have because she's definitely just an ordinary girl?]

[cellpreservation]

Why, what are yours like?

1/2

[noblesnow]

[Conspicuous pause as she realizes she fucked up.]

[noblesnow]

Oh, you know. Archery rivals. Delinquents. Wild animals.

[cellpreservation]

[Ma'am that sounds so fake.]

Wild animals?

[noblesnow]

Yes. Like... wolves.

[shinedsobright]

Chyeah. Wolves suck!

[He has been pinned down by a wolf trying to eat his face TOO MANY TIMES]

[cellpreservation]

...Do I want to know why multiple people here have experience with wolves?

[temmapathy]

I'm guessing mine would, even though they've already gotten plenty of money.

[cellpreservation]

Are they just greedy?

[temmapathy]

Yes.

[A pause before she signs some more:] Okay, I GUESS they do need lots of money to fund their research. But all that research is going to benefit the rich only.

[cellpreservation]

Of course it is.

[temmapathy]

[A silent huff, as she crosses her arms briefly.] They could use their money to fix the world! Instead they just want to escape it and leave everyone else behind.

[Emma would kick Elon Musk in the dick if she ever met him.]

[cellpreservation]

[Fair, Emma. Very fair.]

Are they dangerous in person?

[temmapathy]

As dangerous as any adult. [Thus, more dangerous to her, who's sort of tiny. And they probably have guns, too.

[canreallymove]

Bonus pay.







How does that even work, though?

[noblesnow]

Is he paying anyone to begin with?

[canreallymove]

And what about my planet? Buttnik got rid of money-

[noblesnow]

Oh, is he a communist?

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

[canreallymove]

A comma-what?

[noblesnow]

It's an economic system that involves all property being owned by the community as a whole or by the state, rather than individuals.

[canreallymove]

Nah man, he's not a whatever-that-is. He just wants to own everything and stuff.

Pretty easy to have no money when everyone's your slave.

[noblesnow]

I see. There might be money, except there's only one person allowed to have it.
