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.

... e- [a pause, a shuddering breath]
Even if everyone in the world forgets me... will you remember me?
[It's a childish question of an unreasonable circumstance. Still, he's asking it with all the seriousness he can muster in the middle of what could become a very, very ugly cry.]
no subject
( in her mind and in her heart- he's a friend now. no matter what, as far as she's concerned, there will always be a connection, in this life, in this world, and the next. after a moment, she digs into her pocket and pulls out a handkerchief. )
Here, dry your eyes. I have some water too.
no subject
[Yeah, the crying has gone full ugly, now, with strangled and choked sounds and sobbing. He still doesn't move the hand Shizuku took but he can go with his other to accept the handkerchief.]
[... the way he dabs it against his cheek is pretty dainty for how hard he's crying]
no subject
Ehe, you can use it properly, it's alright.
( though... she thinks he might implode if she gave him a hug or something right now. so gently, she reaches around and rubs up and down his back soothingly. )
There, there... it's okay. You'll be okay.
no subject
M'laydee... Shibuku... d- da door ish locked... bwe.... gotta get out...
[he's becoming more incomprehensible while crying]
no subject
( opening up to others... that's the point of this whole farce, isn't it? and the ghouls... ... nope, i rolled a 1, she does not get to connect the fucking dots, i'm crying. but you know what? she's been stalked by the hollow all evening, she's valid!! girl's tired. )
no subject
[anyways, idia sniffles into the handkerchief again]
... l- like... shomethin to moob on?
[Like how Eliza was looking for her prince... ... they hardly had any princes here, that wasn't going to work...]
no subject
( this line of thinking is going to get them both fucking killed, probably. it's fine. they're fine.
but after a moment, she glances over to idia again. )
How are you feeling?
( not possessed, hopefully? )
no subject
[... but maybe he needs to be the devil who picks her up and carries her out.]
[(six possessions later we'll assess that idia, as a devil, was functionally useless)]
F- Feeling? [he sounds a bit confused like, oh, wait, that matters?]
... t- tired but... ... [one last big blow of the nose] i- if M'lady Shizuku needs me, I have my Second Wind ability!
no subject
I don't want to leave everyone like this... but. I don't know what I can do to protect them... All we can try to do is run from those- those things, and bring people back down if we can.
