06 - week six

[afflictionmods]

WEEK SIX

Sunday starts with more aches and pains than you might be used to. Florence patched people up after Saturday’s lesson, sure, but it’s not a complete cure - not to mention it doesn’t ease the sting of betrayal. Some classmates that you thought would cooperate wound up breaking your trust in the end, and this week will be interesting with the fallout.

It’s hard to say what this week will have in store otherwise. Things are changing, and it’s not clear what this means for all of you. On the bright side, however, the creatures and places you once knew from home have suddenly disappeared, so that's less that you need to worry about. There are new areas for you to look at as well.

TUESDAY

[afflictionmods]

[ Another event is happening Tuesday at 6pm EST. ]

[afflictionmods]

[Is anyone near the common area in the dorms right now?

Because there's music playing, rather loudly, right now, as well as a lot of shuffling and banging.]

[festiverogue]

[Sure! He's a rowdy guy, let's go see what's up.]

1/2

[afflictionmods]

[Yeehaw.

Mama enters the common room, prepared to fight a giant skeleton, but what he sees is - ]

2/2

[affligere]

[Florence, in the middle of trying to set up some kind of folding table. It's.

It's going surprisingly poorly, honestly.]

[cheerfuldays]

( uh- hi? hello? she just wanted to go get something to snack on... let her take a peak, what's happening- )

1/2

[afflictionmods]

[Shizuku has entered the field!

It seems like someone is in the middle of redecorating the common area, with the addition of tables and chairs, but in the middle of it all - ]

[affligere]

[Is Florence locked in a battle with a folding table. Mama is also there to help, but who knows how strong this foe is...!]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien is so tired of y'all being so loud next door— ]

Who the fuck is it this time—

[affligere]

[Surprise!

Or perhaps not so much of a surprise, after the conversation Hien and Florence had yesterday, but there's Florence, a folding table, and some of his classmates.]

Mr. Callias. I am sorry if I woke you up.

[escardos]

[ well, flat is nothing if not curious. if there’s a lot of sound, then he’ll be coming over with his trombone, ready to play along! ]

[affligere]

[Flat is ever reliable...

The music seems to be playing over speakers? Though they're not readily apparent. What is apparent is that Florence is there, as well as some new tables and chairs, as if Florence was preparing for a large crowd.]

discussion time!

[affligere]

[With setup complete, and Madara out on a mission to round people up, it is... time to get things started. Florence also does send out a message saying there's an ✨ice cream social✨ being held in the common area, just in case anyone who wasn't in the dorm wants to show up.

With that all handled, it's time to get down to business.]

I would like to discuss some of the recent events, from this last lesson, the break ins into Camellia, and the abduction of a Camellia employee.

[...]

And, for the record, Lorelei cannot hear us right now, and neither can Camellia, so please do not be afraid to share anything you would wish to share.

[selfconcept]

Even though the booth is right there?

[ ??? He even points to it. ]

[exofractured]

How are you certain of that?

[Phantom made it here, kind of, at whatever place is closest to the exit and Not Mingling. No napping through all that door pounding anyway.]

[vivens]

[ sabo will find a particularly cozy place to settling before raising an eyebrow. ]

Are you going to report what you hear back to Lorelei?

[ you know, if she really can't hear them. ]

[cloudalike]

[ He arrives for the round up, but o-oh, ice cream... thank you...

It doesn't make up for Saturday, but it does make him feel a little better, as frozen treats always do. ]

Why? [ To what? Well, to everything. Why this discussion, why exclude Lorelei, etc. ]

[mirrite]

I'm the one who broke the door to the Camellia Facility.

[Might as well just be honest with it up front.]

So don't you go trying to pin the blame on anyone else, got it?

[magicam]

[He's been swindled into coming! Rude, Madara! But, anyway:]

And they can't, like, take you apart and pull a recording out of you?

[festiverogue]

So... what part of what we've been dealing with is Lorelei, and what part is Camellia? Like, who had the idea to do which weird things? Or who ordered them, maybe?

[undertakings]

[He's not here for ice cream, but after some point it's pretty hard to ignore how there's a bunch of people gathering in the common room.]

How much influence does Camellia have over this project?

[catarou]

[ ... hm. ]

Regarding "the worst possible scenario," as you mentioned to Hien, did that dictate the points in time from which to take us?

[fabulation]

[ Well, Xingqiu does come quietly, alongside Chongyun. ]

Do you have any insight on how to gain more access into a deeper part of their facilities?

[ignihidden]

... eh, [Idia was coaxed out (trudging behind a Cater getting bridal carried) and has been listening but the teenage male brain is definitely more focused on himself than anything else.]

... really, I don't care who's getting along with who or your research results...

[and he's not maybe a little bitter that florence isn't threated by his tech skillz, it's fine, whatever!!]

But if we're being blunt... is there still a planned end date for this "course" and can we even pass it? What I care about is getting home.

Re: discussion time!

[iubar]

What exactly do you want to talk about?

[ he's not sure if he should be trusting here, but well. if there can be any more answers to what's going on, might not be bad. ]
