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.

if i could quit napping before i hit enter that'd be great
the click of the blade opening sounds too loud to his ear suddenly and maybe that's why it's not as bad as it could be. it connects somewhere that this shouldn't be happening because this is never his first choice and something changes. it's little, subtle things, but to a swordsman with his level of mastery, that matters.
that's why it's across owen's thigh as opposed to a more lethal alternative and the sword shakes in ryouma's hand now that it's drawn because he'd probably like to kill owen instead. whatever's in his head would love for that to happen. he resists because his ideals are everything to him, but the fact that he's struggling only feeds back into what's causing this in the first place. ]
Stupid! Why didn't you run away?! What's the point of rushing into things you can't win?!
[ this complaint is obviously rooted in something owen's only reminded him of, but right now that hardly matters. ]
no subject
He crumples once the blade draws across his thigh, though the pain takes a moment to sink in fully. Even still, the pain isn't a deterrent to Owen. He's had worse. He's had much, much worse, and the words Ryouma shouts are much, much more interesting.]
Oh? Are you talking to me? Or is it at what they want you to see?
[He laughs, just a little unhinged.]
There doesn't need to be a point to watching people struggle with what they want versus what their instinct demands of them.
