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!

Ah, okay.

[...wait...]

I thought you call your dads by their first names?
violence_ensues: (Confused 2)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2022-08-30 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Uuuh, what? I only have one daddy.
canismajorcontrolfreak: (Do you still see sky?)

[personal profile] canismajorcontrolfreak 2022-08-30 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, family. And I have...ninety eight siblings.

[Guess not too many people read his profile.]

I don't know what kind of scene we'd have to cause in order to get him to finally put his foot down and show his face. But if we can find that threshold, and we can cross it, then we'll give him even worse.

[personal profile] canismajorcontrolfreak 2022-08-30 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[...???]

Are...are Mao Mao and Badgerclops...not your parents?
canreallymove: (say what?)

[personal profile] canreallymove 2022-08-30 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, agreed. It's probably not "go into his lair and trash it", either. Which means no straightforward option, we gotta be sneakier or somethin'.
violence_ensues: (Excited)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2022-08-30 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Adorabat giggles a little.]

No, silly! They're my bestest best friends!
canreallymove: (AAAAAAAH!)

[personal profile] canreallymove 2022-08-30 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sonic? Read the handbook? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-]

NINETY EIGHT SIBLINGS!?

I don't even know ninety-eight people, how do you remember them all!?
violence_ensues: (Unconvincing)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2022-08-30 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Adorabat rubs the back of her head.]

Yeah... I think it's easier to call them heartscapes, still.
canreallymove: (D'oh!)

1/2

[personal profile] canreallymove 2022-08-30 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, you told her-

[Huh.]

What are heartscapes, exactly?

canismajorcontrolfreak: (If you just see spots...)

[personal profile] canismajorcontrolfreak 2022-08-30 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. Alright.

In my defense, you talk about them so much and so positively, it seemed a lot like they were your dads or something.
canreallymove: (antoine's a dweeb!)

2/2

[personal profile] canreallymove 2022-08-30 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
And I know, but hey, gotta make the sheep think we're practicing, right?

[Three more ear-piercing notes.]
canismajorcontrolfreak: (If you just see spots...)

[personal profile] canismajorcontrolfreak 2022-08-30 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[A little jump at the outburst.]

I mean, they're my family? It would be kind of rude to go up to Dulcinea or Dvorak and ask for a reminder of what their name is. Plus, it does help that everyone's name starts with a D.

[If Sonic was paying attention, all forty or so names Dylan was able to list did indeed start with a d.]
canreallymove: (say what?)

[personal profile] canreallymove 2022-08-30 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. That sounds like it could be pretty handy to have.

But, say, can you touch either of these things-the gloves and hair, I mean? Or, like have you touched them before and have any clue what's happening?
violence_ensues: (Haughty)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2022-08-30 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
They're not boring.

[Wingshrug]
canismajorcontrolfreak: (Do you still see sky?)

[personal profile] canismajorcontrolfreak 2022-08-30 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Fair enough, I guess.

[...]

Is your dad boring then?
violence_ensues: (Unconvincing)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2022-08-30 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, um...

[Adorabat meekly pokes the tips of her wings together.]

He doesn't fight monsters or beat up criminals... And he wanted me to live with him not fighting monsters until me, Mao Mao, and Badgerclops saved him from a monster. And he has that thing with your nose when you smell cats, except with a lot of stuff. And he likes reading...

I mean I love my daddy, but... Mao Mao and Badgerclops...!
lets_dewey_it: (getting scolded)

[personal profile] lets_dewey_it 2022-08-30 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[...And the tears really started rolling.] I don't want her to get hurt... No matter how capable she is, I don't...
canreallymove: (say what?)

[personal profile] canreallymove 2022-08-30 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
...Huh. I guess.

But seriously, that sounds crazy! I can't even imagine having one sibling!...
canreallymove: (D'oh!)

[personal profile] canreallymove 2022-08-30 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well poo]

Um, I guess I should explain the stuff we saw? Like the jellyfish and the vision?
