WEEK 2

WEEK TWO


Two weeks is plenty of time to get used to a new school, but the horrors of Ira Academy are likely to require much more acclimation than that. The lesson learned this weekend may be more important than anything else taught thus far: Regardless of motivation, regardless of friendliness, regardless of heroism, any member of the student body could turn out to be a killer.

Starting this week, the immovable, impenetrable glass wall blocking the staircase by the first aid station has receded. Students are free to go up the stairs beyond that wall and leave the ground floor of the school for the first time.

The new area that opens up in the Academy couldn't come at a better time. Past the landing, where a new ascending flight of stairs now waits behind another thick impenetrable wall of glass, the second floor greets students with muted, calming colors. The rooms in this area of the school house activities targeted at calming, freeing, or emptying the mind. After witnessing such terrible things on Saturday, it would be lovely to clear such thoughts away entirely, wouldn't it?

On Monday, classes will resume as normal, as if the student body had not undergone recent and horrific attrition. At least there are a fair few more places to hide now that the next floor has opened up, and it might be easier to avoid the Little Brothers trying to herd you into the classroom every now and then. It would be easy to let unease and paranoia reign over everyone. Perhaps, come Tuesday again, there will be another announcement from the Principal, holding another threat over everyone's head until the right person snaps and attempts the optional capstone project. There may be another mysterious phenomenon to follow through the school, seeking a hint of meaning or answers. Of course, you could all give up and choose re-education.

How will you move on?

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday
Regains | AC | IC Profiles | Locations | Mystery Information | A Contact | Sheep Contact
OOC NOTES


Welcome to Week 2. The Prefect has been removed from play until further notice and will no longer be able to be contacted. Mod Shay will continue to work for the game on an administrative level. ICly, the Principal will mention vaguely that the Prefect has been removed from her duties for the foreseeable future. The IC rules will be updated to reflect this and that's how the characters will find out. The sheep will take up her work monitoring the school and have their own contact post, and the A/V room is still locked. While you're free to question this ICly, please be mindful of others and try not to push the issue either ICly or OOCly. This isn't related to the plot and shouldn't be treated as such.

As a reminder, AC runs Sunday to Sunday concurrent with these posts and is collected based on the prior week; this means you have a whole week to get in AC for the week prior. AC for week 1 should be submitted no later than this coming Sunday. Remember to submit your regains! Also, if you want to investigate put INVESTIGATE on your subject line, please!

I can see that...

Uh, we got somethin' from the glove too, if you want to, uh. Look at it?

...What's your mom like, Adorabat? [In his mind, this was a question meant to put things in perspective...]
violence_ensues: (Oops)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2022-08-30 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Umm, okay.

[Adorabat touches the glove with a wing. She views the vision and all, and after, she takes a moment to recover.]

...nnnnnn... Do you think all these people have something to do with the prissipal? Or that people from the glove heartscaoe are related to the wig heartscape?
violence_ensues: (Tearful)

[Adorabat answers by looking away as her eyes tear up.]

Hm, so that's what they look like.

[It's pretty easy to interpret who's who here. Mao Mao is a cat, Badgerclops has to be a badger, probably with one eye. Still, kinda weird to see some animals standing two legs instead of four.]

Are the drumsticks yours, Mao Mao's, or Badgerclops'?
violence_ensues: (Impressed)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2022-08-30 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
They're mine! I have a drum kit at daddy's mansion.

...Adorabat...? ["Oh no I fucked up", that's what's going through his mind now.]

I dunno, but I think I know who might have an idea.
violence_ensues: (Dejected)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2022-08-30 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
...She... was just like yours, it sounds like...
violence_ensues: (Ooo)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2022-08-30 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
WHO?

[Adorabat is eager to hear.]

[personal profile] lets_dewey_it 2022-08-30 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
...We have to find a way. We have to find a way to get to the principal without taking each others' lives. He won't get away with this.
canismajorcontrolfreak: (Is endless dark!)

[personal profile] canismajorcontrolfreak 2022-08-30 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
He...is pretty cool, yeah.

Yeah. Mum, Dad, Dolly, Dizzy, Dee Dee, Dawkins, Diesel, Dante, Destiny, Dallas, Deja Vu, Delgado, D.J., Deepak, Da Vinci, Dorothy, Dimitri 1, Dimitri 2, Dimitri 3...

[Dylan will go on until he's reached around a hundred names. Does Sonic have the heart to stop it?]
lets_dewey_it: (distraught talking)

...was... [He doesn't pry. But...] Then... you understand... right?
canismajorcontrolfreak: (Way up high)

[A shrug]

Don't know. Just did.

CALLING A-FRIEND IN AISLE FIVE

[At this he picks up a flute.]

Might wanna cover your ears, kid. And, uh, same for everyone else.

[Look he did warn you guys]

[Adorabat sniffles a little, wiping away the tears and giving a serious face glare to Dewey, poking his chest.]

If he can't be reasoned with, I'll know what to do. A hero does what's right, even when it crushes them inside.
canreallymove: (*zzzzzzzz*)

[personal profile] canreallymove 2022-08-30 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Way past agreed. Our enemy ain’t one another, after all, it’s the Principal! He’s the one we gotta take down!
violence_ensues: (Wince)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2022-08-30 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[OH RUBY PURE HEART, IS THIS WHAT SHE SOUNDS LIKE WHEN PLAYING THE BANJO!? Perhaps she SHOULD have taken those banjo lessons instead of skipping out all the time to be Hero.]
lets_dewey_it: (getting scolded looking away)

[personal profile] lets_dewey_it 2022-08-30 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
...I'll leave it up to you, then.

[BAT HUGS.]

[YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY NO.]

[ADORABAT IS HERE FOR YOU.]

[Maybe eventually she'll feel something again. Maybe the words of a hymn asking for the guidance of the Lord won't feel like the worst kind of hollow lie when she half-sings-half-speaks them.

It is a strange and vulnerable kind of awe that keeps Carrie hovering around Jeanne. If she were a poet, she'd know how to talk about it, but she's blunt to a fault. The girl is some kind of saint. That's all there is to it. She's patient, and kind, and smells of roses, of sanctity itself.

But the cracker is still just a cracker, as far as Carrie can tell. She won't ever say it out loud. But after the Mass is done -

Next week... if I can find things to make one, do you...

[She stops, blushing and hating her face for betraying her like that.]

Would it help to have an altar cross? Or something to mark where we're meeting like this?

[In different circumstances, Dylan would just continue laying down, ignoring whatever is up with Valmont. Even if the thing he was about to swipe was something he wanted to keep, so long as he didn't get too close to him. Better to lose something than to deal with him.

But once that hand comes into his vision, he's rolling to the side to avoid it and get out of Valmont's reach, rabbits plush and carved still clutched close to his chest, letting out a low growl.]


Not. In. The Mood

[personal profile] panglici 2022-08-30 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Anya?

[True, the girl's proven herself to be wise and strong beyond her years, but she shouldn't have to be. Carrie kneels, not sure where to go from simply asking her name. It's easier when the threat at hand is a monster that's coming. This... this is different.]
canismajorcontrolfreak: (Way up high)

[personal profile] canismajorcontrolfreak 2022-08-30 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
...I dunno know.

[Looking back up at the ceiling.]

Everything feels different now. Up could be down. Right could be left. The sun could revolve around the Earth. It just...it all feels wrong now.
canreallymove: (D'oh!)

[personal profile] canreallymove 2022-08-30 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[After about the 45th or so name-]

Wait, time out.

Are these friends and family or just family?? How many brothers and sisters do you have??
