WEEK 3
WEEK THREE
Two weeks, two trials, four deaths.
One thing is certain: The monster in charge of this place knows enough about everyone here that he also knows what can drive some of them desperate enough to kill. He is powerful, and he has access, and he despises the whole student body. The face of the class' captor has been revealed now, in a sense, and the flames of his hatred for children have turned out to be very real.
At least, for now, the students of Ira Academy have one another to lean on. Some might have found the post-trial camaraderie a comfort. At least everyone hasn't given up hope. At least many students are still finding their anger and their will to fight back.
There are fewer pretenses this coming week. Classes proceed as normal; the school day still functions as normal, but the further everyone comes from that first fateful meeting with the man in charge of this school, the further away and more incomprehensible the thought that there was ever really a chance of going along with the original plan, completing reeducation, and staying safe.
...Of course, you could still try. There'd be nothing stopping you.
But you won't, will you? That's just how the students of Ira Academy are. You'll visit the third floor of the Academy, ascending the newly opened flight of stairs. Maybe you'll investigate one of the new rooms, dwarfed by the echoes that bounce of the uninvitingly tall ceilings. There's probably still something in this place on your side.
Will you work together, or will you grow further apart?

OOC NOTES
Welcome to Week 3! New locations have been added and the third floor is now open for exploration. The library is a very large space and more than one person can investigate it throughout the week if you'd like. If you want to investigate one of the Floor 3 rooms, please hit the mods with a ping in Discord and put INVESTIGATE in your subject line.
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 2 should be submitted no later than this coming Sunday. Remember to submit your regains, and sign up for a spot exploring this week's mystery if you want to!

The first page goes something like this: Ever since people existed, children existed, and since children have a lot of worries fear must have existed too. This fear created the place known now as 'Closetland'. For a long time Closetland was ruled by a figure called the Demagogue and his seven right hand monsters, the Seven Kings. From the captured Faery Queen, Titania, to the twisted mask collecting Rael-Schol.
The kings were often at each other's throats, using their powers to influence or posses other monsters to attack children to strike fear into the world and tainting the innocent views of children. No one knows when things changed but eventually the Demagogue's power waned and his Kings, too, lost power. The seven realms they once ruled still exist -- with names like the Invidia Ruins or the Mountains of Ira -- but the kings had seemed to vanish.
There might be more but, that might be a lot to digest, Yuta.]

It briefly describes the former kings by name. Titania of Pride. Bogeyman of Greed. Baba-Yaga of Gluttony. Rael-Schol of Envy. Lamashtu of Wrath. Kabaelza of Sloth. The Defiler of Lust. For brevity, we won't write out many details but some details include Rael-Schol being in awe of children so he turned them into masks for his collection or that Titania was mostly an unconscious monster whose minions kidnapped children to keep her body young.
It describes the realms briefly, too. The old city that Rael-Schol used to live in or the hellish mountain range that Lamashtu once ruled from her Babylonian temple.
It finally ends that the Kids of Apple Court feel something is changing in Closetland and fears that maybe the kings are returning in some way. If that's the case then things were going to get a lot worse.]

He'll flip through it a few times to make sure he isn't missing anything, though this is already a lot to think about.]
