WEEK 3

[whimsicalism]

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!

[...he agreed already? Huh. Good to know he wasn't under thinking with this plan.]

I'm thinking maybe Tuesday night and then continuing from there. Everyone seems reasonable enough to not try anything without a motive being given, and while it does seem like there's a pattern of someone trying on Thursday nights, it's better to be prepared earlier than that, just in case someone decides to switch things up.

[canreallymove]

Yeah, that makes sense! I like this idea. Death prevention, here we come! Maybe I don't have to look at these books after all!

[canismajorcontrolfreak]

Exactly.

I think I might still study myself, if only to prepare for anyone getting hurt. It's good to be prepared, you know?

[canreallymove]

Yeah, yeah, I know. Always be prepared.

[He does deflate a little.]

Man...I guess we gotta start with body parts. I mean, I know what arms and legs and stuff are, but how'm I supposed to know if a death involves the...

[...

The...duodenum?

[Which he pronounces as "dew oh denim".]

[canismajorcontrolfreak]

I think it's pronounced duodenum.

[Which Dylan pronounces the right way, apparently "dew-AH-dee-num"]

Well, first of all, it looks like it's part of the small intestines, so it being involved would probably something like damage to the midsection, around the stomach.

And second, maybe...that level of detail won't be necessary? All things considered, so long as we know what is and isn't damaged, I don't think we need to know the name of every bit of a human body.

[canreallymove]

Oh man, I hope not. I think my brain would literally explode.

So basics like limbs, chest, uh, head and neck, right? And tail. Wait, heumins don't have tails, right?

[canismajorcontrolfreak]

Definitely not. I've never seen a human with a tail, and if they did have one, it doesn't make sense that they would hide it under clothes the all time, considering how uncomfortable that would be.

I think the only ones that have tails are myself, you, and Dewey. Not sure how much he counts, though, considering it's tail feathers.

[canreallymove]

Fair enough, man. Hmmm. Well, I guess that's enough for the heumin body then?

[Right???]

[canismajorcontrolfreak]

You can stop if you want. I think I might do a bit more studying.

[Just in case and all that.]
