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!

R... right... Right.

[This is why Yasu shared her insights with the group first: she may be intelligent, but she's not infallible. Having someone to check her ideas to make sure she didn't mess up was something she needed.]

If we're saving this idea as our trump card, then we have more time to improve it and work out any problems rather than throwing a list together now and making a mistake.

Ideally, a list could be presented at the start of a meeting, shortly after a motive was levied and we became more aware of any constraints on our actions. [Yasu making the list because she may not be infallible but definitely more intelligent than Jeanne and the others!] That would give us time to rehearse the directions.

[...also rehearse with the smaller cast after the trial...]

Hm, I think you're right... it might be too late to get started on that now, but I'll see if I can get everything set up before next Tuesday.

[Yasu had never scheduled the two-person shifts back at the mansion herself, but it couldn't be that hard, right?]
