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!

I mean... I guess that makes sense. But you don't even have a little on you just in case?
holyironmade: (Regret)

[Oh... This isn't normal...]

If I were really wandering on my own outside of the iron maiden... I would have greater problems.

What's wrong with having time to wander?
holyironmade: (Nonplussed)

[personal profile] holyironmade 2022-09-12 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[has clearly never had to defend this point before]

Is that not idleness?
cellpreservation: ([Sigh] To you and)

[personal profile] cellpreservation 2022-09-12 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
...I guess, but what's wrong with that?
holyironmade: (Pray)

[personal profile] holyironmade 2022-09-15 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
I would not say idleness is wrong, but it is not virtuous. I strive to embody virtues. I do not eat too much, I have no adult vices...

Isn't rest supposed to be good for you?
holyironmade: (Alone)

[Looks down at tray of vending machine as if something will pop out and save her from this conversation]

Sitting still to not get an upset stomach immediately after three meals a day, and ten hours of sleep, is not idleness.
cellpreservation: ([Sigh] To you and)

[personal profile] cellpreservation 2022-09-18 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
I guess... what's even wrong with being idle sometimes?
holyironmade: (Holy)

[She selects a cinnamon roll. It'll be gooey, but so soft and good.]

It will strike you as vain, but I try to be pure.

[The association will be lost on both of them.]
cellpreservation: ([Look] a straight face)

[personal profile] cellpreservation 2022-09-19 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
...

And... not being idle helps with that how?
holyironmade: (Interact)

[personal profile] holyironmade 2022-09-23 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Wandering, did you call it...?

Is it not to stray off the path?

To see other things and perhaps come to want them?
cellpreservation: ([Surprise] come on;)

[personal profile] cellpreservation 2022-09-23 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
What path...

[It's just walking around???]

I mean, I guess. Or you could just wander around until you see something interesting and decide to take a closer look.
holyironmade: (Nonplussed)

[personal profile] holyironmade 2022-09-23 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
...like what?

[What interesting things do you encounter during these """walks""" in the """open""" during """free""" time Yuta.]
cellpreservation: ([Sweat] on my battered)

[personal profile] cellpreservation 2022-09-24 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
Like... I don't know. [What do girls even like, anyway?] Flowers? A tree you could climb?
holyironmade: (Alone)

[personal profile] holyironmade 2022-09-30 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
A tree to climb...

[She stares into space.]

Well. There isn't anything better to do here. Perhaps I shall.
cellpreservation: ([Sigh] using tears while)

[personal profile] cellpreservation 2022-09-30 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Not that there are trees around here, but...

Anyway, wandering isn't a bad thing. That's all.
