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!

Maybe. There's normal ones you don't need a blacklight for, but I'd rather not be trying to figure this out AFTER they show up.

[That was the situation he found himself in the first time and it was NOT FUN. Fret shrugs. Nothing happens to Emma's leg, the "tripwire" is literally just a UV Aquarium Sterilizer he stole from the lounge. Maybe her socks will glow a little if they're white.]

I'd set em' up in every room if I could, but it's probably better to just set up in a few places that can take a fight. Then you can just lead them into the trap - they're not intelligent.

[temmapathy]

[Oh, that looks neat, actually. She waves her foot a few more times, watching her socks light up out of the corner of her eye. However, as he's explaining, she nods, taking that in.]

How fast are they?

[shinedsobright]

Honestly depends on the type. They're like animals. The wolves are the fastest.

[So he wasn't just pulling Yuta's leg about the wolves after all]

[temmapathy]

[She nods.] So do they just look like normal animals, or is there something weird about them?

[shinedsobright]

No, they're definitely weird. Their legs look like someone drew em' with a stencil. And the ones you need to hit with this light are sorta transparent...

[That's if anyone can see them at all, in the first place. And he's really not sure that they would be able to. But weirder things have happened here, and it looked like some people in the RG were at least becoming aware of them.]

[temmapathy]

[She nods, taking that all in.] I'll be ready, then. Although Dewey and I were talking about having all our enemies fight each other too.

[shinedsobright]

...Oh yeah?

[Fret doesn't really think that'd be a good idea in this case. But if he said that, then he'd have to explain why, and he's really decided this is something everyone's better off not knowing about for a lot of reasons.]

You think you can manage it?

[temmapathy]

Well, depending on where our enemies appear, there's probably somewhere we can all hide while we let them run around and fight each other. For me personally, the worst thing my enemies could do is shoot someone with a gun, maybe.
