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!

So! One day, in the middle of the night, Badgerclops woke me up to hand me a weird timer and said it was for the Badge-a-Fire Explosion, then told me to go back to sleep, which I did. Then, in the morning, Me and Mao Mao got woken up by an alarm. We went to the meeting room where Badgerclops told us about his Ultra Focus and said he doesn't amember what he does during it. He showed us footage of him taking Mao Mao's aerocycle and leading the Sky Pirates somewhere.

[Adorabat doesn't think she's the best at telling stories, but she's better than Mao Mao at it, in her own opinion.]

I showed them the weird timer Badgerclops gave me and asked more about it. Badgerclops wanted Mao Mao and me to leave so we wouldn't be caught in the explosion! Mao Mao said that a hero never abandons their friends, no matter how high the stakes. We went searching around town for the missing aerocycle but all we found were Badgerclops's inventions. A flying toilet paper dispenser, that monster translator, giant robotic pants that spits out pizza, and more weird things!

Mao Mao didn't know why Badgerclops made all these things and didn't see a use for them but he explained it was his Ultra Focus. The timer was still ticking down and eventually a robot came and initatated a totally humane knockout procedure on the three of us.
