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!

2/2

[violence_ensues]

[And then she notices the RIOT helmet. Despite her stomach's anguished growling, she gasps and perks up.]

Oh, hey! It's my RIOT helmet!

[She waddles over and puts it on. getting her nightstick out.]

You got it from the machine?

Re: 2/2

[cellpreservation]

Oh- that's yours?

[Pushing the sickle and bloody clothes bundle down further into the trash.]

Yeah, it just popped out. You can keep it.

[violence_ensues]

[Adorabat appreciates this a lot, but she just doesn't have it in her to smile right now. She hopes Yuta understands.]

Thanks. I use these sometimes when dealing with the other Sweetypies. You'd be surprised how hard they are to work with sometimes, but RIOT gear seems to work every time.

[cellpreservation]

Do fights break out that much?

[violence_ensues]

Not so much fights as them not really being aware of any dangers... Like this one time, Slim Piggins accidentally set his cereal on fire trying to cook it, which nearly burnt his house down. Mao Mao, me, and Badgerclops tried to get him to jump out the window and onto the trampoline without talking, but he couldn't understand what we were trying to say.

He ended up getting blowed up from the house and missing the trampoline.

[Adorabat sighs. It is a sigh of frustration.]

[cellpreservation]

His... cereal.

[How? What? Why???]

[violence_ensues]

Yeah! Even I know you're not apposed to cook it in an oven. You use the microwave! And I don't think I can tell the amount of times he's been arrested for driving without a license!

'n he's not even the worst...

[cellpreservation]

You know what? Maybe we should just stop talking about food for now.

[violence_ensues]

[Can there be no talking of Pinky, either?

Adorabat glances at the bear trap and picks it right up, examining it.]

Oh, is this a trap for monsters? I don't really see it get used back at Pure Heart Valley.

[cellpreservation]

It's... technically a trap for big animals, but...

Just be careful. It's dangerous.

[violence_ensues]

Don't worry, I've taken on things with bigger sharp teeth than this lotsa times! ...Maybe we can trap the prissipull in this!

[cellpreservation]

[SIGH. It's really hard to be patient when one is slowly starving.]

Yeah, I guess?

Maybe you should bug Hunter about it. He's the one who knows how to make dumb traps or whatever.

[violence_ensues]

[Hunter? UH-

Adorabat quickly puts her nightstick and RIOT helmet away. There.]

Yeah... I should. Um, can I take this with me to show him? I hope this doesn't make him act weird...

[cellpreservation]

Yeah, go ahead.

[violence_ensues]

[Adorabat manages a weak smile, putting the bear trap away... somewhere. Her wings move to her growling stomach. She's trying her best to ignore it...]

Thank you. And- and thank you for teaching me about juristitin. I had no idea that was a thing. You're smart!

[cellpreservation]

[That catches him by surprise.]

Oh. Uh... you're welcome?
