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.

Network post... TWO

[magicam]

[So, leading up the post will be a photo of two weapons sitting together on the little dorm desk - a gun, and also the Hizen Tadahiro.]

So my roomie got the sword last week and he thinks it's totes p cool, but I figure it prob belongs to someone???
And now this week they think Cay needs a GUN?! No thank you!!! Σ(°△°|||)︴ Scary!!
It's not loaded, but...
If this is yours, or you know how to keep it safely, come get it...! |д･)

[selfconcept]

dibs on the gun

[ He makes his way to Cater's room and knocks. He came here really fast. ]

[magicam]

!!! Hien! Okay!

[Look, of all people to call dibs... he trusts Hien with it more than most. So he'll be opening the door for him as soon as he knocks!]

[selfconcept]

Yo.

[ He's actually... surprised that he's being trusted with a gun so easily. ]

I'm here for the gun. I'll trade it to you for a bundle of grapes.

[ Fresh grapes in a bundle! Stems and all. ]

... I got 16 of these, so if you could take one, that would be great.

[magicam]

Heyhey~

[From everyone he's met here so far... Hien definitely feels the most trustworthy - with a gun or otherwise - with the exception of, maybe, Sabo? But Hien called dibs.]

Eh? Grapes? Cay didn't need to trade anything for it, but-

[But, like, he'll take them? If they need to be gotten rid of?]

1/2

[tosa]

(I'll be replying to this comment with 2/2 but Mutsu is going to lean in REAL CLOSE TO THE SCREEN AND--)

[tosa]

HIZEN!!!

(like, 5 seconds later because he has to squint some more,)

AND SMITH-SAN?!

[magicam]

Eh?

What? Mukkun?

[Magic gets names, but weapons??]

[tosa]

The sword! That's Hizen!

(Not that anyone can see but he's nodding to himself now,)

We're best buds. It ain't mine but I think I know who it belongs to. You in your room still?

[kaientai]

Oh, hey! That's mine!

[ he hasn't seen it in a very long time, so imagine his surprise seeing it here. ]

Or the sword is, anyway. I'd have to take a better look at the gun.

[magicam]

!!! Cay knew it had to be someone's!
I don't think Idia wants to give it up lol so come talk to him...!!

[kaientai]

Oh, yeah? I'm sure we can sort this out. Which room? I can come by.

[magicam]

Room 2! If you're with mukkun we're totes neighbors!

[herlocksholmes]

My good fellow, I hope you have the money to spare for the license fee to take guns outside of your home. I will be visiting you later to see you pay your dues.

[No he won't, in Victorian times anyone could have a gun as long as they could pay a fee, apparently. That Cater, or anyone in this place, could keep it, is not something that greatly concerns Sholmes.

Still, doesn't stop him from doing this in jest]

[magicam]

He doesn't want the gun in the first place!! He's getting it to a proper owner!! No license fee required!!! Σ(°△°|||)︴

[herlocksholmes]

You still have it with you, don't you? That is being in possession of it, and that's what matters here. Have the money ready, Mr. Diamond, I'm currently entering the common room. I will be seeing you soon.

[He's not, he's in the bakery eating stale food, hah]

[magicam]

It'll totes be gone by the time you get here! I'll throw it out the window if I have to!!!

[Luckily, just a couple threads over, he's handing it off to Hien for some grapes. But that doesn't mean he can't be concerned that Sholmes is on his way looking for payment he very much does not have! Mostly because he has no clue what goes on in Sholmes's head, and doesn't want to find out what he will or will not take seriously.]

[ignihidden]

hey the swan gave me that sword fair and square!

[magicam]

Maybe, like, ask the swan for a replica??

[ignihidden]

its not like anyone should need a sword here anyways...........

[magicam]

You don't need one, either!
And if we give it back to the person it belongs to, maybe they'll totally like us more and will protect us with it, or smth...
Since they probably know how to actually use it!
Unlike you, gloomy samurai! {{ (>_<) }}

[imitationsoul]

We share our pain with others and now they arm us? Feels like the coming lessons will be interesting to say the least.

[magicam]

Cay totes doesn't wanna think about what this could mean for future lessons... brrr.... {{ (>_<) }}

[imitationsoul]

Would you rather be caught off-guard by it, then? Honest question.

[magicam]

Eh... dunno...
Knowing about it ahead of time just means there's totally more time to get nervous about it, right?
But being surprised is super dangerous, too...
