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!

Well, yeah, I bet! We gotta all stick together, and you're clearly in this mess with us.

Once this is over I can check your arm and stuff, rebandage it.

You really think I'm one of you, huh...

[Some of them have said these things enough; it's almost like they truly believe it. Nanami will remember that.

... Well, she's not going to ignore this great opportunity to have this protection, so after that brief moment of reflection she'll carry on in her watery voice.]

And if any of them try anything funny, like ganging up on me, you'll protect me, right?

[canreallymove]

Well obviously, I'd do it for anyone here who isn't the Principal.

[He may not like her, per se, but the Principal did shove her into a washing machine, so.]

I doubt anyone'd be ganging up on you right now, though. So I wouldn't worry too much.

[Also, she's not Sally, so he's not falling for it.

That and also, because he's kind of not noticing. He's just checking her arm to make sure it's ok.]
