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.

[ He gets to his feet and holds out a hand for Xingqiu to take. ]
How about a bit of reprieve?

[ A little disconcerting, perhaps. But it can always be worse...maybe.
There is a slight uptick of his lips at Chongyun making the callback to the rain, from earlier, though. It soothes away a bit of that lingering frustration—like a comforting balm. Truly, they are fortunate not to have to face this alone.
He will reach out, fingers carefully wrapping around the hand, and using the other male as leverage as he rights himself. ]
I wouldn't say no. Though it will be a relatively quick one; given what's happening all around us I do doubt it'll be easy for there to be anything but a short reprieve until we figure out how to resolve it all.
no subject
[ A sigh, short and... not quite frustrated, but close to it. If anything, it's entirely his fault for not being more prepared. It won't happen again; a silent promise he makes to himself and Xingqiu. ]
Why they did not prepare us more for this venture, I can't begin to guess.
[ He lets go of Xingqiu's hand, but stays close, just in case the other boy needs support. ]
