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.

[Pokes him in the side with his foot...]

Are you dead?

[You can't just ask a man if he's dead.]

[herlocksholmes]

My spirit, my spirit is dead.

[As if the overflowing confidence he shows most of the time is his spirit, hah]

[sicklysweet]

[Another nudge. How long is he going to let this happen...

It's worth testing out.]

You don't look like your spirit is all that dead.

[herlocksholmes]

[Probably forever...

The comment gets a sigh from Sholmes, a sigh of suffering and repressed despair]

What use is someone who can't do anything against these supernatural creatures? Perhaps that's why they're not coming to me now. THey have judged I'm insufficient, even to be possessed. Loathsome ghouls.

[sicklysweet]

[In that case, he's just going to keep (lightly) kicking Sholmes in the side.]

I didn't think someone like you could be so pathetic.

[They have had all of One (1) conversation.]

Are you sure you're not possessed already?

[herlocksholmes]

[Shin and Sholmes are going to come out of this museum trip with a sore spot on the side]

What would a ghoul gain from overtaking me? All I'm doing is lie down here.

[sicklysweet]

Some spirits delight in making people miserable. They just want to see what people will do in the depths of despair, because they are feeding on that emotion...

[rip to shin and sholmes........ the possession isn't gonna help them either, huh.]

You seem pretty miserable right now.

[herlocksholmes]

[Oh, he's miserable indeed. Is this what a ghoul wanted when it possessed him?

......]

By that logic, I'm exceling at feeling miserable, like a ghoul overtaking me may have wanted.

[Does that mean he's being exceptional? What do you think, Owen? Is he exceptional at being miserable and pathetic?]

[sicklysweet]

[Well at least when he's a miserable lump on the floor, Sholmes is still fuckin' weird.]

Yeah. I guess you are.

[Nobody else is being miserable like this, that's for sure.]

[herlocksholmes]

.......

[Sholmes doesn't even jostle when, with a sound like a cork being removed from a bottle of champagne, a ghoul just pops out of his chest, thrown away. Yeah, apparently Sholmes is feeling cheered up about how he isn't absolutely useless because he's great at being miserable, b ecause yeah, he's weird like that.

As soon as that happens, Sholmes just casually stands up, dusts off as much of his back as he can, and poses]

It's time to get moving, Mr. Owen! Ghouls are abundant right now.

[sicklysweet]

[??????????]

Are you kidding me?

[Well, he wasn't expecting that.]

[herlocksholmes]

Why would I be mentioning the abundance of spooks in jest?

[Not what he meant, Owen]

[sicklysweet]

[This is why so many of your CR entries are just "what the fuck", Sholmes!!]

That's - ugh. Whatever. You're not possessed anymore, so I guess you should be grateful to me.
