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.

[ hmmm. gently presses "x". ]

Do you know how many residents there are who are in need of help?

[affligere]

The city of Estelline has a population of roughly five thousand people.

[vivens]

That's quite a number of people to save in a single night.

[affligere]

I am aware.

This will not save everyone, but it will save some, and may provide insight on how we might go about things in the future.

[vivens]

[ oh yeah? ]

Was this part of the lesson plan from the start? Something like this would have been nice to explain on the first day.

[affligere]

I was told not to inform you of this at the time.

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

[affligere]

I will see if the Instructor will allow it.

[vivens]

Thanks! I'd appreciate it a lot.
