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!

[ ... 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? ]

[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...]
hashtagwoof: (On the outside looking in?)

[personal profile] hashtagwoof 2022-08-24 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh...

[ They could probably squeeze everyone in a dorm, but it would be awfully cramped. And they do have to factor in the increased security. ]

How about the library? We'll pretend it's a study session and pass around notes.
canismajorcontrolfreak: (Do you still see sky?)

[personal profile] canismajorcontrolfreak 2022-08-24 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I...don't think we have a library.

[The closest might be the classroom, with it's books and bookshelves, and so long as teacher Little Brother is there it might not be the best spot.]

Maybe the playground? It's got a lot of room and we could say we're planning a game.
hashtagwoof: Confused (And as the minutes tick away)

[personal profile] hashtagwoof 2022-08-25 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, right.

[ Some grumbling about why a school doesn't have a library. ]

I guess we could do that? I saw one of the girls holding church there the other day. Didn't stick around for it at all, but if that doesn't get unwanted attention...
canismajorcontrolfreak: (If you just see spots...)

[personal profile] canismajorcontrolfreak 2022-08-25 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Right...

[That is still so weird to think about, so promptly ignoring it!]

Would Wednesday or Thursday be better? [He feels like Wednesday, but maybe they should give a little time for things to settle?]
hashtagwoof: (And I can’t live up to)

[personal profile] hashtagwoof 2022-08-26 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Thursday feels better, I dunno.
