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!

Listen. She asked if voting for someone who killed herself would count as finding a murderer, and it would! If the trial finishes with a vote for someone who died of their own will, it still counts!

[She's wild-eyed, pale, and very visibly not in a place where "thinking clearly" is on the metaphorical menu.]

Woahwoahwoahwoahwoahwoah can we not-

[WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BE ONE OF THE CALM ONES HERE AAAAAAAAAAAAAH]

Look, dudette, that's just a bad idea all around! And Fret's right, man, that kind of thing can seriously...seriously backfire!

And you wouldn't be around...

What use have I even been while I've been here?

[It's not dramatic despair in her voice when she says that, it's pure 12-year-old petulance at having one more thing not work out.]

Fret's right, we'd still have to go through a whole trial suspecting each other and figure it out - and now that you've said, there's no way he'll count it if we already know the answer.

Drop it, Carrie. It's not going to work!

Fine.

[But this is Yuta, she can't even scowl at him for more than a moment.]

...sorry. I just feel like I'm dead weight at this point.
cellpreservation: ([Look] Reflecting myself)

[personal profile] cellpreservation 2022-09-08 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Good. His lips form a hard, thin line for a moment in grim satisfaction that she's giving it up for now.]

If that's what you're worried about, then just keep your eyes peeled for more clues. We need all the info we can get.

[Especially when they won't even have the energy to fight much, if at all this week.]
panglici: (would rather not make eye contact)

I'm not sure how much it's worth now, but I'll do my best. One way or another, I still want to protect everybody.
cellpreservation: ([Annoyed] That voice sounds)

[personal profile] cellpreservation 2022-09-09 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
You're worth way more now than you are dead, that's for sure.
panglici: (would rather not make eye contact)

[personal profile] panglici 2022-09-10 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll try to believe that. So are you, you know.
cellpreservation: ([Sigh] To you and)

[personal profile] cellpreservation 2022-09-11 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know. So that's why I'll be doing my part, too.
