02 - week two

[afflictionmods]

WEEK TWO

When the glitter settles and everyone returns to their dorms - or wherever they intend to sleep for the night, if you’re planning on sleeping at all - your first week of school officially ends. Perhaps it was better than you expected, perhaps it was worse.

Hopefully you learned a bit more about teamwork and school spirit.

Still, this course is going to run for longer than a full week, and come Sunday morning you’re still exactly as you were when you settled down for the night. Still in Estelline, still with that mark on your wrist, still connected to your partner. There are some changes, though. The bookstore has received quite a few books, and those of you who added to the bulletin board and pep rally tasks in the first week will find an envelope taped to their dorm door (or themselves, if they spent the night elsewhere). Inside of the envelope is some kind of voucher! Furthermore, the common area is covered in a bunch of glitter.

Also, there are a ton of eggs in the kitchen – at least 10 dozens.

Florence or Lorelei are still available, should you wish to speak to them.

Finally, you've got some new locations to explore.

Ah, a chance to find out what sort of techniques they use in these "modern times" when is about food preservation.

[He says that and bites into a hella stale baked good. Well, waste not want not.

Still, his face shows this leaves a lot to be desired.]

[iubar]

Doesn't look like you're too pleased with what you go.

[ It's not like he's saying the foods are top tier, but no reason not to let it get moldy. ]

[herlocksholmes]

I had expectations and they have been cruelly dashed.

[Then again, it's his fault for having unreasonable expectations]

[iubar]

You'll survive. Maybe.

[ What a dramatic man he is. Not that Ace cares that much if he is. ]

[herlocksholmes]

[Sholmes takes another bite of the stale pastry he's dealing with because he will be long cold and buried before something like some pastry will defeat the great detective]

'Maybe', you say. I take exception to your doubts.

[Now, allow him to step behind the counter]

Now, come here and assist me if you will, my dear fellow. Since I'm here I should begin a quick investigation. First, I must locate the cash register and crack it open.

[...when said like that it sounds like he's out to rob this place of money. He intends to check the currency]

[iubar]

[ Ace laughs about at the first part. But he does casually walk over to check out what Sholmes plans to do. ]

What's the point of taking the money when you can take everything here?

[ Not that he's against theft, but also, why bother right now? ]

[herlocksholmes]

My good fellow, your creativity continues being a tad too limited.

[Sholmes leaves the stale pastry aside for a moment]

All over this mall I have been finding signs of everything having been abandoned not that long ago. How can one pinpoint when everybody left? [He flicks his hat] By using the one thing no human can live without: money.

[Continuously printed and usually labeled with the year it was coined/printed, it may give a good idea of when was the last time there were people here. It's not going to give a precise answer, but hey, a vague timeframe based on the most recent year he can find is better than knowing nothing at all.

True, the baked goods are stale instead of, well, moldy and stuff, but the more information he has to work with, the better]

[iubar]

You can just say you want to steal it. Not like I care.

[ This dude honestly seems like he tries to make himself look really good. Ace doesn't care to think that much about it.

Either way, he is looking around with him. Obviously he has zero qualms with the property destruction that's likely to happen, too. ]
