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.

[He really should have been telling himself (extra loud, extra emphasis!!) not to run off, but it's not like Tamamori is particularly good at sticking to plans; he tries to stick to people, but he's not particularly good at that either. Trying to find everything in the dark is harder than expected....

If only Kawase would actually be a little louder for once. But at least he finds him in the end, because Tamamori(?)'s path is winding and runs through the facility like a river, flowing over and over again from source to destination. He gallivants past Kawase at first because he blends perfectly with the shadows, and then it takes a while for him to literally hit the brakes and back up, and then Kawase gets all of the baffled blinking in the world.

And then Tamamori(?) points at him, watching him with bright curious eyes.]

You... are really hard to save. Kawase. Kawase. Kawase. [it could be a chiding, the way he repeats it, but it mostly sounds like trying out the name in someone else's mouth] If you want to get rid of someone... would it help, if we went together?

[It sounds just as disjointed as the way the name is said, a strange jigsaw puzzle of words that might have come from a strange jigsaw puzzle of sources.]

[ Kawase likes none of this. He knows Tamamori's intricacies enough to know that despite how loony and loopy he usually is, somethings off here. And he really doesn't want to have this talk in front of an audience (that was for last loop). ]

What's with you? Don't tell me you're actually scared? [ It's funny, but the supernatural doesn't phase Kawase all that much. The ghosts you now are worse than the ghosts you don't. ]

[unsinksyourship]

Nyahaha... After everything, after all those times, it's kind of nice to have something actually scary to share with everybody else. Not that I'm scared, this is nothing compared to the body of my work!

[There's a half-smile from him, scrunching his eyes to half-moons that make him look almost sly for once -- it doesn't quite make it there, because Tamamori's face doesn't quite work that way unless he's trying to wring small change or petty favors out of people, but it gets somewhat close.

The amusement itself is strangely diluted, all of his emotions coming across blurry like bleeding watercolors -- it's definitely Tamamori-colored, tacky like Calspi to the soul, but there's something just a touch off about it.]

But, Kawase. [it sounds a little more like him this time, like approaching steps, like cajoling] If we don't get out of here, it won't stop at just a haunting. So let's be -- a team, for once. You don't want to deal with this anymore either, right?

[Well, there sure are people beating each other up and getting hit with various implements in the background. Also possibly people and things looking at getting yeeted into the void. Go team......]
