02.50 - week two, saturday

W2 SATURDAY

Like last Saturday, everyone will get an announcement on their tablets; this time, the announcement is preceded with a bell of some sort before Lorelei appears on the screen again.

"Good morning, everyone. This is an announcement to let you know that today's lesson will take place starting at 8:15 tonight. Again, today's lesson will be starting at 8:15. Please meet at the lower campus exit near the lecture by 8:00pm; Florence will be waiting for you there.

If you have a bag for some snacks and, perhaps, an item you can use for self-defense in the case of an emergency, please arrive with those things on you. We will provide you with an overview of what to expect when you arrive at 8pm.

Thank you."

The alert ends.

You have the day to prepare, ask each other what the hell is happening -- Florence and Lorelei do not seem to be available, strangely enough. There's a lot to take in with the information you have now. But before you know it... night falls.

[ nope ♥ ]

[iubar]

[ He gives a bit of a laugh at that. ]

It'd be a pretty bad thing if I did it without my powers. Kind of a loose meaning of them they went with.

[vivens]

[ ]

I see. Is it possible to request a hint towards future lessons? Some of us would likely like time to study.

[exofractured]

[The other guy protesting about magic from orientation! And, you know, the guy next door Phantom's never talked to. He gives him a firm nod in return for this solidarity though.]

Perhaps those of us who weren't given weapons should let the others take the lead.

[unenvying]

[ shrug. ]

Honestly at this point since we're trusting the people who... kidnapped... us? To lead us to whatever destination they've decided for us it might be worth the non-zero chance to try and make our way out to somewhere else.

[escardos]

[ ...

flat looks out of the window, and the fog that covers anything in sight. ]

An endless bus ride... maybe we're going to the underworld again...

[ he pauses after mumbling that under his breath, and then-- ]

Let's tell scary stories, then!

[unenvying]

[ 💔

it's fine he doesn't need them anyway! ]

[escardos]

To keep the police from finding us.

[kaientai]

Of course not. I'm optimistic about plenty of things, but no mysterious magical force ever promised anyone anything with purely good intentions, at least not good in a way a human or at least a mortal person could appreciate.

[ highly sus. he has his history of making spooky magical deals to thank for this. ]

[vivens]

I suppose that will have to do.

[escardos]

[ ...

...









... ]

Now I don't want to.

[affligere]

I will see if the Instructor will allow it.

[cheerfuldays]

... That is very much not reassuring at all.

( :( )

[kaientai]

Trusting and observing are two different things!

[ he doesn't trust them as far as he can throw them and their borb. ]

I'm just saying, we shouldn't immediately jump to trying something that might make this worse. There are other things we might be able to learn first, that's all.

[unenvying]

[ BUDDY............... lifts a brow. ]

Personal experience?

[ look, it's just the way you said it, ok ]

[escardos]

We could talk to them!

[selfconcept]

Never ending college debt.

[ He saw a lot of people being worried about that on the first day. ]

[vivens]

Thanks! I'd appreciate it a lot.

[iubar]

[ same goes for you, he thinks. not that sabo has been the one getting in trouble. but... no need to say that back. ]

[magicam]

[Magic-neighbor! And, hey, there's something to be said about peaceful dorm neighbors. This guy is appreciated, even if they've never spoken directly until now.]

That totally sounds like a good plan to me... Hopefully they can handle it without us...

[ignihidden]

[......................... slides tablet over]

[ur move]

[unenvying]

But you don't know that it will make this worse unless you try, right?

[ head in my hands i the player am very sorry ]

[escardos]

I don't get that.

[selfconcept]

Be thankful that you don't.

[exofractured]

[He would probably take irreparable psychic damage if he had to actually agree with Marcus out loud, but he does make a little "hmph" that amounts to the same thing.]
