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.

[When Shizuku had talked about MMJ!'s members, her face had lit up. He kenw it couldn't be the case for every idol but, as a fan, he sincerely hoped... for a world where every unit could have that kind of connection. That was the kind of thing that inspired slime-based fans like him to support them. It was the thing that kept them going, even when they assumed such a thing would be impossible for them!]

[Idia still assumes he's just moss growing on the wall somewhere but, well...]

[if his status as a "fan" helps him help others, he can manage that.]

That's right! S- so, it's no time to be saying the fight is over! We've got to get everyone out of this place!

[Just please don't ask him how they're going to accomplish it or what he plans to do about it! He's applied all his buffs and his MP is low, thx.]

[Who could even know if Double Face would be the kind of unit Idia would get behind? They're not cute girls, and in fact they've been mostly the "cool" type until recently, but... There was just something about the bond between partners that could bring Madara out of the dark, even this far away. Somehow, somewhere, far, far from where they are now, Kohaku is waiting for his answer. What they have doesn't have a name yet, and that's okay. They still have people cheering for them, no matter what. And so does MaM. Madara has people who need him, who rely on him.

This trickles through Madara's mind until he suddenly shakes his head, looking faintly like he's coming out of a daydream.]

We've got to get everyone out of here. [His eyes grow aware and bright again.] Idia, why are we standing around talking? Have you found Shizuku or Cater yet?

[ignihidden]

[Got it!! Man, it would be a lot easier if possession had some sort of visual tell, talk about bad game design.]

M- M'lady Shizuku saved me earlier but we ended up getting separated...

[Which, like, he doesn't have the mental fortitude to also feel bad about that. Too much was happening! And, besides, what could he do to protect her? Dramatically jump in front of her to take a posession?]

... as for Cater... uhm... ... well, nothing hurts, s- so he's not in pain, wherever he is...

[festiverogue]

But you don't know where he is?

[He's heartened just a bit to hear Shizuku did her own bout of saving, considering he believes wholly in the strength of her heart, but... Cater. Now he's worried about Cater. And just as he's coming out of this, too.]

Guess I don't know where Shizuku is, either. I spent too much time hunting those ghost things down.
