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.

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?]

[selfconcept]

[ They definitely need to be gone from Hien's possession, so he gladly gives the bundle to Cater ]

Thanks. The gun isn't loaded, is it? If it isn't loaded, it's better.

[magicam]

[More Grapes: Get.]

Cay doesn't think it's loaded... he's not totally sure how to check, but...

[And there was no way he was taking a test shot, either.]

[selfconcept]

I can check it if you'd like.

[ He holds out his hand. Gimme.

No, he will not do a test shot. ]

[magicam]

Please do...

[And he just goes ahead and hands over the gun. Trade complete.]

Ah- and mister Sholmes might come for you for an ownership fee, now...

[selfconcept]

That's fine.

[ He unlocks the bullet compartment and turns the barrel with his thumb. No bullets. He closes it up and spins it by the trigger guard with a finger. ]

... No ammo. I'm glad.

[ Phew. ]

[magicam]

[Spinning the gun before actually confirming it's not loaded? Kind of makes his heart skip a couple beats, and not in the 'kyaa milord static' kind of way, either!

But with that confirmation, he can sigh and put this little "gift" out of mind, with it in more capable hands.

Supposedly.]

Good, good... Then keep it, please? I'll super let you know if the ammo shows up, like, ever...

[selfconcept]

[ He can tell by the weight! It's fine. He's used these kinds of guns a long time ago, but he still remembers. (Because he's a sniper fanatic... anyway)

But he stares at Cater. ]

You'd even give the ammo to me?

[ Cater??? ]

[magicam]

[Hien??? Hien?!?!]

I'd... tell you I got it... just in case?

[He's getting the impression giving it to him would be a bad idea? Maybe?]

[selfconcept]

[ He's done some shit... ]

I'd feel a lot better about it if you wrapped them in paper towels and flushed them away.

[ At least with this stance, it can be implied that Hien doesn't want anyone shooting others, not even himself. ]

[magicam]

Is that, like... safe...?

[He'll do it, if it comes to it...! But he also doesn't want to destroy their little bathroom. Hmm.]

[selfconcept]

Most bullets, down to the core, are just small hunks of metal. If you're still not feeling sure about it, you can flush it down the toilet in the mall.

[ Problem solved!! ]

[magicam]

A-ah... Yeah, yeah Cay will totes do that, mhmm...!

[Or bribe someone else to do it, more like, but. End result is the same?]

[selfconcept]

Don't worry about it. Just follow your metaphorical heart.

[ Now that he's got the gun, he'll leave—but before that. ]

I'll treat you to some spicy ramen later and drop it off in your room. Sound good?

[ we can handwave this ]

[magicam]

Eh?

[Metaphorical heart... Hien...]

Ah, yes! Please do~!

[Hell yeah, gamer, a finished thread!]
