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.

[ there will be and if ace wants to be a shit then he might as well save sabo from some level of embarrassment because as soon as he gets anywhere the claw just decides to drop limply into the stuffed toys and keychains all of the sudden.

sabo's voice is strained as he replies. ]

Until dinner.

[ WHY IS HIS LUCK SO ATROCIOUS?? ]

[ actually, maybe this is fun watching sabo suffer. he will let it draw out for a while longer and just grins at this. ]

It was a nice try.

[ SIGHS.

and what do you know? sabo's next attempt goes poorly with it wriggling wildly and flopping again into the pile. ]

Not a word.

[ it's hard not to gloat when he managed to get it eventually, but he does settle in with just a grin for now. not a word! (but we'll see how long that lasts.) ]

[ given that the next roll was a 19!!! it will go really well!!

sure he might have been aiming for another smug looking cat for ace to have for reasons, but instead the claw will end up picking up a yellow rabbit with a white bowtie and a pleasant smile.

very charming. ]

Finally!

Looks like we didn't have to resort to breaking the machine.

[ for now? maybe they can have a little property damage later. he pokes the rabbit lightly. ]

Kinda reminds me of you.

[ in this thread at least. sabo might have destroyed one in another but we're not talking about that right now. but if ace is going to poke at it, then sabo will just hand it over. ]

For you then.

[ fair enough. sabo and his property damage... ace is a good boy compared to him.

he takes it and laughs a little. ]

Never thought I'd be swapping trinkets with you.

[ well. never thought he'd be doing anything with sabo, but you know. ]
