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.

[They can absolutely share! Truly great minds think alike.]

H-hopefully they have success fighting whatever is going on here.

[He was absolutely serious about leaving the fighting to the others. He's just a magical high schooler without his magic, here. Basically useless!

...Though, Phantom clutching his bag defensively does get a bit of an approving glance. Yes, good, they have something to, uh... helplessly bap an assailant with.

...

Better than nothing.]

[exofractured]

Most of them seemed quite confident. We can support from the back lines.

[Or they could if they had their magic. And not just one heavy book in a bag.

...Did he just hear something. He's pretty sure he just heard something.]

...Or perhaps find a more defensible location.

[magicam]

We can give... moral support from the back lines!

[Because what else can they do without their magic? Throw a rock or two?

...Okay, maybe, if they really had to, but it would probably be a sad attempt at help.]

...Defensible location, then moral support?

[exofractured]

[Could Phantom even throw a rock without injuring himself? The jury is out.]

I agree entirely with your priorities. Perhaps the second floor.

[At least it didn't have creepy exhibits!]

[magicam]

[Cater probably can! But... how far, and how effectively is. Up for debate.]

Right, right~ Maybe they'll be too distracted by everyone who stayed down here!

[It does have the creepy photos, but. Lesser of two evils, here.]

[exofractured]

Ideally, those with the weapons.

[Up to the creepy photos they go? At least it's harder to see them in the dimmer light which is... helpful?]

So thoughtful of our instructor to make certain I don't have so much as a fire arte in these circumstances.

[magicam]

Mhm, mhm~!

[Hopefully the dim light doesn't make them easier targets! Surely their plan is totally foolproof!]

Right? And if I had my magic and a broom, we could totally get way further out of the way than the second floor...!

[exofractured]

[It had better be foolproof, because at least one of them is a fool. Although Phantom pauses Operation Hiding Spot for a second at that.]

Unless you have shield magic as well, that's questionable. Outside seems... less than hospitable to humans.

[magicam]

[They're both fools. Rest in pieces, Operation Hiding Spot.]

Eh, no, Cay doesn't have shield magic. That's one of his classmates.

[Truly a tragedy.]

[exofractured]

A pity. Neither do I. And there appears to be a Void outside.

[Yes, he capitalized it. Don't worry about it. They're doing great!!]

We'll have to make do with what's in here.

[magicam]

Mhm...

[Not even questioning the capitalized Void. It tracks.]

Which are, uh... rocks? And broken displays? And our classmates.

[...It looks pretty grim, honestly!!!]
