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.

[What gave the impression!! This was a normal school!!! ...But, yeah, the health room monitors are probably the best bet.]

...Yyyyeah you're totally right on that one. [Derogatory.]

Tho could you, like, mod one of these machines to play the Gamestation?

[...Hopefully he didn't just sign himself up for grand theft arcade machine, so Idia doesn't have to spend all his time -gasp- in public, but you know. They have screens.]

[ignihidden]

... do you really think someone like be could move a whole arcade cabinet without magic or tech...

[It's a great idea but suggesting it so casually just rubs salt in the wound of how he can't execute it.]

I can carry the Gamestation, at least...

[magicam]

[...You know, it totally tracks that Idia would jump straight to "take the cabinet" over "just play in here" but somehow... he's still a little disappointed?]

Eh, no, Cay couldn't either, but... you could play it here?

[ignihidden]

... the real joy of a console is having it set up in your room away from everyone...

[Or, well, playing with one other person. Idia doesn't have the joyous experience of setting up a console in a college dorm and getting a mess of people together to scream at bossfights. So, of course he wants it in his room all by himself!]

... y- you probably just want me... out of the room more...

[an accusatory mumble]

[magicam]

...So I've heard.

[There are definitely more than a few Heartslabyul kouhai who do indulge in that setting up a console and gathering a mess of people together to play experience... In no small part because first years are crammed four to a room, but. Yanno. Details.]

Ehh? No, Cay's accepted you're totes gonna be in there as much as possible, and if he wants solo time, he's gotta go out. It super matches our images better that way, anyway, right?

[ignihidden]

[... he's not sure if Cater blowing off his little spiteful comment that easily hurts or not. (Actually, no, it doesn't, and the two of them can clearly tell.)]

... image...

I- it's just what I want. So, if that's my image... that's fine...

[magicam]

[Cater blowing off the little spiteful comment might not have hurt, but - perhaps surprisingly - Idia's comment does sting, just a bit, for just a moment. A brief, sharp, needle-stick dropped in the middle of their conversation, gone as quickly as it came.]

Weee~ell... can you take a screen out of a cabinet, if you can't drag the whole thing back~?

[He's... trying?]

[ignihidden]

[the corner of his lips tug down; he's not yet at the point where he really starts to wonder "why," but he's slowly becoming aware of it]

... I need the gacha to give me a set of tools.

[a little pout]

Or that, whatever, infinity screwdriver.

[magicam]

[He can wonder... so long as he doesn't ask, they're fine. Probably.]

Oooor...~ You wanna bet there's, like, maintenance tools in the back? Wanna look?

[ignihidden]

Ah. A reward for exploring a secret area...

[... it tracks. At very least, it means he can stop, like, half-whittling tools out of tongue depressors from the health room.]

[magicam]

Yeah, yeah, something like that.

[And he can stop coming across broken tongue depressors on the floor...]

C'mon. Cay totes doesn't wanna get in trouble by looking by himself.
