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?

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!

[Says the guy in the winter hat. But listen - with a legend like the one attached to it, this thing is guaranteed to have incredible stats by TWEWY standards, and Fret has the fashion sense to understand that]
no subject
If you want to play, you...may have to teach Anya, a little.
You just...try to hit the ball past someone?
[:thonk:]
no subject
[He pauses, though. Would she be able to stand on the table like Dewey?]
Should we get you something to stand on...?
[Or maybe there's a shorter table that he could sit??]
no subject
Anya sees, Anya sees.
[But then that occurs to her. Oh. Right. She's probably too small to stand at the table properly...]
....Anya would like a stool or a box...
[those would help.]
no subject
[And by 'in here' he means whatever supply storage there is for all the sportsballs and mats, which he heads toward!]
no subject
No. She doesn't want to think about that.
So she just starts looking for a stool. Don't focus on bad things, Anya.]
no subject
Lookie here! This should be right!
[It's a stepstool for aerobics that was near the mats. He hurries out to the table with it. Now Anya doesn't have to linger in the creepy storage spot!!]
C'mon, try it.
no subject
[Anya quickly toddles on out after Fret. Once the stepstool is put down, she climbs up onto it, and cheers.]
Yay! Anya is now tall enough! Anya can play now~!!!
no subject
[definitely saying this in a twitch way but anyway!! He will set up at the other side of the table then. At least teaching kids to play is kind of soothing for the stress in a different way. He'll give her fair warning since she's so new to the game.]
OK, here it comes!
[and serve! It is a gentler serve than the one he gave Adorabat cause he's still not completely certain she won't fall off the stool...]
no subject
...Ah.
[She's bad at sports.]
no subject
An-nyan~! More power!
[He holds his hand out for her to pass the ball back so he can serve it again]
no subject
[Anya passes the ball back, before making another face.]
Anya will do her fullest strength!
[Then when it's served once more, she smacks it and drops her paddle.]
HUAH.
no subject
Okay...!
[Are they going to have to work on her hand eye coordination before this can work? No, surely it's just bad luck!]
Third time's a charm?
