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.

Would it be better to ask Florence instead? I assume they don’t tell her everything.

[ … ]

Or maybe they do.

[selfconcept]

Florence is programmed. As of now, they don't have any desires, which ultimately means lack of unreasonable choice. I'm not an expert in that area, but I know how the human psyche generally works.

[partymagician]

Ah… that would mean there’s a chance they wouldn’t say anything, as they likely don’t experience the feeling of loyalty.

[ Hmmm.

He sighs. ]

If this had to do with magic, I’d know exactly what to do!

[ But alas, he has no helpful experience with tech. ]

[selfconcept]

What? Control everyone and make them fess up?

[ And definitely not warping them to their respective worlds, right? ]

Because that's what I'd do. Too bad a concept is considered a magic.

[partymagician]

Too bad indeed. It would be much easier to exert some real force if we had our powers… and if it weren’t against the rules.

[ Although would it even matter at that point? ]

[selfconcept]

That's why they took our powers away, you nerd. Rules don't mean shit if you have power.

[ Whether physically, magically, or politically. ]

[partymagician]

They do mean things, you dork.

[ Like not bringing people back to life, for one.

He reaches out to pinch Hien's side. ]

[selfconcept]

[ He is scuttling away from you goodbye ]
