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.

at least this time he seems to have more intent..?? ]
Who said anything about a hole? [ the formation of an extremely exaggerated "S" will start to take shape. ] I'll etch myself into this place.
no subject
[ aaaaaaalright, well that's a little bit too much ridiculousness for even flat to handle.
he sighs, shrugging his shoulders. ]
Can I convince you to leave the body? If you're so scared, then I won't forget you. I'll give you a diary when we get back so you can write all about yourself and make sure that you don't forget yourself again or something.
no subject
I'M ON MY LAPTOP....superimpose the image of ""sabo"" onto that one panel. and it's actually so funny because as soon as flat mentions writing about himself he pauses for a moment. ]
But...I already do that. [ :nyanhmm: ] After—
After I've done what I need to, I'll be able to do what I want to do... I've wanted to write my adventures into a book.
no subject
[ now there's some genuine cheer in flat's voice. ]
You know what, you should talk to Mister Sholmes, in that case. He actually has his assistant write his adventures into a book, and they're apparently published works and everything. That's the perfect way to be remembered. [ he glances at a wall. ] Much better than that. And, you know what? There's books that are still in circulation after hundreds, or even thousands of years. In my world, we have a "poem" that's been around for, like, 5000 years.
no subject
It's why I love books and always enjoyed reading them. [ stories whether fictional or fact, sabo loved them all. ] And five thousand years is an awfully long time to remember a "poem". It must be quite the poem to be remembered for that long.
[ a moment as he says nothing for a while and just simply lowers his head and smiles. whether it's obvious or not what happens next, the next time that sabo looks at flat, there's a glint in his eyes. ]
I hope that the book I end up writing will be just as memorable as that poem from your world. [ a soft chuckle. ] But when I succeed as a revolutionary, then I'm sure that'd make for one hell of a story in itself.
no subject
[ it's good to have him back. at the same time that he's released, flat lets go of the hand in his pocket, though obviously there's a very visible weight in there still. it's no longer necessary though, which is great news. ]
In fact, one of my favorite books is about a group of three swordsmen that fight for justice. It's been around for almost two hundred years, and has gotten lots of plays and even movies. [ his eyes sparkle with the memory as he continues. ] You kind of remind me of one!
no subject
Three swordsmen that for justice, huh? [ sabo makes a soft humming noise as he wonders what direction that it might go. a story of overcoming hardship? likely. and mainly because he can't help it: ] Did they consider one another brothers?
[ sabo chuckles lightly as flat's eyes sparkle when he suggestions the commonality. he has no idea what that could mean and is curious how he's seen in flat's (very unique) mind. ]
I'd love to hear all about this, if you'd like to share it with me. It sounds like something that I might enjoy quite a bit myself.
no subject
That's correct! [ he places his hands on his hips and puffs out his chest, attempting to make a dramatic pose. ] "All for one, and one for all!" That was their motto.
I'll tell you all about it when we get back, for sure!
no subject
[ he'll muse quietly about the chest puffing and mull over the motto of these brothers. given how both of his brothers are pirates, they aren't going to be the most noble (they live greedy, selfish, and free), but sabo finds it quite appealing. ]
Great; then once we're done here and whatever happens next, I'll be sure to stop by for this story of your's.
