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.

But with these ghouls, it's more difficult -- after all, the effects need to be figured out upon being possesssed, and how each ghoul works varies. Their strategies would be seen right before getting possessed, instead of being observable as a third party.

As much as he hates it, all he can do is nod]

Indeed...

[Sholmes bows]

Regardless, come along. I'm not going to stand aside and let you stay here, unwatched while you host something foul inside yourself. I'm not open to negotiation, Ms. Mihie.

[ "Miach" looks at him quizzically and tilts her head. ]

And bringing me elsewhere is going to achieve... what?

[ She doesn't seem disinclined to come along, if only because all she can do right now is pass time until they are freed from the museum. Whether that is out here or wherever Sholmes is going to lead her feels of little relevance. ]

[herlocksholmes]

You will see. Come with me to the second floor, for now. Regardless of what specter has chosen to invade you, leaving you alone is ill-advised.

[He has encountered some people so far reacting pretty badly. While Miach so far has handled it well, that could change at any moment and Sholmes trusts himself to be able to handle any strong reactions that could happen. Besides, at least having her nearby is good, for when he comes up with a decent course of action. Think, Sholmes...]
