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.

Xingqiu will attempt to flag down someone else so that they can see this with him.
In the meanwhile, he will also attempt to continue to hit at the spot surrounding the hole. With the foundation weakened, maybe he can make a bigger hole, and the figures are far enough that he shouldn't have to be concerned about causing too much trouble where they're concerned as of the moment... ]
no subject
the hole that was made for himhe'd probably like, but it'll grow nevertheless.And no, they don't notice him. But he'll be able to see one pass by that's closer.
And, if he looks carefully, that sure is a familiar marking on their arm...like the one he has. ]
no subject
It's...not exactly a comforting discovery to make, and it does make his lips curl downwards into a frown. But he'll keep going at it. If only to make more of a way to an exit, and get a closer look on the surroundings as well... ]
no subject
Seems like this is what's waiting for them beyond this particular museum. ]
no subject
What is it? I have a textbook, but I don't think it's any more robust than your... rolling pin.
[The things they're making do with, honestly.]
no subject
I think in this case the sight alone speaks a thousand words.
[ Xingqiu will direct Phantom to chance a peak at the hole so he can see what he does, and also add due to the recent discovery: ]
...Those people aimlessly standing around have marks like we do.
[ So, yeah. Not exactly the greatest information to discover. ]
no subject
You know what? He's not even surprised. It's that kind of night.]
The missing locals, or a previous class just like ours, I wonder.
no subject
Yes, either or.
I wonder if that was the point of sending us out here. For us to see this or them testing if we'd be able to survive this.
no subject
[Also they probably didn't foresee a tiny martial artist making a hole in the wall?? Maybe. Maybe they should have.]
Considering the driver from before, I doubt we could get their attention enough to learn anything from them.
no subject
[ Xingqiu also wishes that it'd mean they could make their way from here via this, but noticeably, he's stopped from making any further attempts...on account of the Void being there.
So. Yeah, there's that too. ]
Yes, they didn't seem to notice even with all of the racket I was making here. It makes me wonder what exactly made them like this in the first place.
no subject
Sure are some interesting vibes from that. This is fine.]
If we had anyone disposable to test with, I imagine we could find out quite a bit by putting them outside in that. Or perhaps whatever that is is the result of the people becoming like this, rather than the cause.
no subject
[ Xingqiu says almost immediately, though he is very much not fond of their captors right now, putting it lightly. He doesn't want to think of what could possibly happen because if it was a torturous result, then... he will just shake his head. ]
It could be the result, yes. If we were able to figure out the cause, that'd be ideal.
...Unfortunately, we'd need to get out of here first.
no subject
[It's what mirrites were literally made for, after all. Although it's absolutely also Phantom just being Like That. He sighs as he moves a little away from the hole.]
Agreed. If this is like the previous exercise, they should call an end to it eventually. We can make plans to prepare better for the next investigation.
no subject
[ This Void thing does not seem like something to mess with, even if he had his Vision working. Xingqiu does wonder if it is also a difference in their moral values as well, however. ]
But, you're right about it being wise to make ourselves better prepared for whatever else they decide to throw us at next.
[ That may make them able to claim an advantageous point to better figure out other things about their situation even after being thrown to the wolves once more. ]
no subject
Yes. Better tools for observation, for one. Something we can use to get more information about places we aren't able to venture. [...] We should continue looking around for whatever else they mean us to discover here. I'll notify you if I find anything further on this.
no subject
Either way, he's going to give a small nod. ]
Yes, let's. Naturally, I'll do the same where I'm concerned.
We've been around in this place long enough...and I believe this venture here is a dead end.
[ A way out through the destruction he's made here, anyway. He will incline his head respectfully, albeit slightly before going to make his separate way. ]
