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!

Here! Pop off the cap and put your finger in! Have fun with a million paper cuts!

What is this mockery? Did someone make it in the workshop? No... Her stoic face remains the same.
Sonic. Imagine this one dozen times larger. Does my story not suddenly make sense?
no subject
[The more he hears from Jeanne, the less he's liking it. Which is saying something since Sonic is literally Mr. Reckless back home.
Yeah, he really hates this place.]
And it only makes sense if someone actually tried to stop you from doing something that nuts! Who would let you...do that!? Who would think it was a good thing to just...torture yourself like that!?
iron maiden cw
Or are you the only one of us allowed to declare yourself an authority who can handle unsavory tasks?
no subject
[How does he even look like he wants to be an authority on this-what-]
I don't want anyone dying because they didn't have food and that includes you, ok?! And that kind of torture stuff tends to, you know. Lead to dying! So you'll excuse me if I'm a bit worried when you bring it up!
no subject
[Perhaps she should have come forward with this back during the coroner discussion, which is the most glaring evidence to her that Sonic considers himself a leader besides his total lack of experience.]
A single bottle of curry cola will not make the difference between life and death. Because that is what we are working with, about one calorie dense snack per student. It will only heal the mind. Mine doesn't need it.
no subject
that only we, the narrators, can appreciate. They're both leaders. They both are conditioned to a kind of horror. Sonic only really started to understand this when he met people here.But even so. Even so, Sonic learned the lesson that no one gets left behind. Sacrifice was necessary, yes, and a leader takes hits for the team that others can't, but. Not like that. Never like that. A leader doesn't go that far. Can't go that far unless everyone else goes that far. Because there's no other choice.
How is that even inspiring? It's not, not to him.]
I know that. You don't think I know what we're working with? You don't think I know it's way past likely that-that someone's gonna do something crazy!?
No, you're right, it probably won't. But you shouldn't deprive yourself of a sip because you don't think you need it and everyone else does, man. That's...that's not right!
[Heumins...are...so...messed...up.]
no subject
[She turns on her heel, extremely long hair swinging. It's an ostentatious gesture.
The thing about needles? It's not healthy to leave them in, of course, but taking them out, letting the blood rush down, hurts even more than being pierced.]
I'll speak with the others. God willing, they will have more sense.
