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.

That's okay, because the truly broken people are without rational thought.

[ Hien smiles at Owen. It's fine. Everything is Fine. ]

[sicklysweet]

[You SHOT him.]

Are you saying I'm the one being irrational right now?

[selfconcept]

Owen, you were always irrational.

[ Were.

He has a very sickly sweet tone in his voice when he addresses Owen though. ]

But everyone is irrational.

[sicklysweet]

Were?

[Don't like the sound of that, or the way he says it. It's creepy - and if he actually was a rational person, that would probably be a sign to exit this situation he should have left a long time ago.]

What am I now, then? How are you different from me?

[is he going to get stabbed again]

[selfconcept]

Oh, we're different in so many ways. You're not happy, but I am.

[ He says it so convincingly that it has to be the truth, right...? ]

[sicklysweet]

You're not happy.

[you're full of shit, sir.]

You're a liar who enjoys seeing others in pain, maybe, but that just makes you as happy as I am.

[selfconcept]

[ While Hien doesn't mind being called out usually, this particular callout rather stings, because he doesn't think it's his fault with how his mindset is at now. It's not his fault that he was converted from Destruction, in which he can hear his laugh every time he gets into a violent and sadistic streak. He hears him laugh at him and he hates it. He hates it so much that his gaze just drops into absolute zero status.

And he drops Owen to the ground. ]

I'll kill you.

[sicklysweet]

[Owen hits the ground, and Hien's threat actually gets him to laugh. He hisses as he pushes himself upright, arm throbbing. It hurts like a bitch, but he ignores it as he pulls his legs underneath him.]

You're welcome to. You wouldn't be the first and you won't be the last.

[Self-preservation? Not even once.]

[selfconcept]

[ Unfortunately(?) for Owen, Hien's murderous aura snuffs out instantly. The ghoul is finally expelled from Hien, because that sure was admitting that he was wrong and totally unhappy. He feels so groggy.

But he still just. Walks away. He doesn't need this right now!! Bye owen... ]

[sicklysweet]

[Why are you running? Why are you running?!]

I'll see you around, Hien.

[He's still giggling as Hien leaves, far too pleased at all of this.]
