Week Two

[stagemanagers]

[Last week, no murder happened! Instead, a lot of students started work on Salieri's school play, which sounds pretty cool even though it's gonna be short, several people destroyed Bigfoot and got a few mysterious clues, and Orpheus started a fire in the kitchen! All in all, not a bad first week!

Though some people might have gone to talk to Hester, she hasn't made any more public announcements. There's some new papers posted up around the cafeteria, but it looks like it's just your upcoming lunch schedule. Seems like nothing's driving you towards Rule Five except, perhaps, all of the kidnapping and how criminally boring some of you are finding the school. Maybe the Balladeer is right, and you really can just wait this out? Only time will tell!]


Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

(( No new locations this week, since y'all haven't paid in blood! Hester's office hours are still open, as are regains! Make sure to complete your first activity check by Tuesday! ))

Isekai - it means "another world". It's a type of story genre back home, usually for light novels, anime or sometimes video games, and refers to when characters are magically brought to another world that's not their own. Kind of like... [ wait what's a non-weeb equivalent uhhhhh ] Alice in Wonderland.

They're only stories and not real, but I bring them up because... I don't think we're all from the same world.

[tellthestory]

....yeah. That's definitely what it is!

[All tracks to him!]

[disharmonizes]

Oh, well, obviously. [...] Was that not obvious to everyone?

[samefacesyndrome]

[ ........................................................ ]





















...Was it?

[disharmonizes]

First time in a different dimension, right? I've been around the multi-universal block plenty.

None of you have names you'd ever see in Equestria, so it was easy enough to figure none of you were from there, at least.

[samefacesyndrome]

O-Oh...

[ Now she feels a bit embarrassed ]

I only really got suspicious when I met Varian-san...

[yourattention]

Nah, Janis and I are definitely from the same place. We both know Regina George.

[comeandfindme]

Who the hell is Regina George?

[yourattention]

You know, that super popular Instagram influencer? On Wednesdays she wears pink? Barbie parenthesis threatening?

[fourbutts]

[ from the back: ]

A garbage scum-sucking life-ruiner!

[samefacesyndrome]

[ CONNOR.................. ]

Maya-san and I are too. [ THANKS BUSHIROAD ] But I don't know what else explains some of the others...

[ ........ ]

Who's Regina George?

[yourattention]

You know....

[He waves a hand around, and a really recognizable music sting plays.]

Her name's Regina George and she's, like, a massive deal. She doesn't give a shit who you are or how you feel.

[fourbutts]

[ okay, she's not going to give the rude girl explanation to poor rina ]

She goes to my school. Fun fact, she's the worst person I've ever met. And I've met people who are heavily involved in competitive musical theater summer camps.

[mayavericks]

Tennoji-san. You said you were from 2020, correct?

As far as I can recall, it is 2017 for me.

[violentenvies]

Considering some people are familiar with such things as magic, I think that's correct.

[samefacesyndrome]

[ nod nod ]

And if they're pulling us from different time periods... then it make sense they could take us from other worlds too. Maybe even alternate timelines.

[violentenvies]

...and to think, over a week ago, I would never have thought of such things. [he huffs] Now the possibilities are limitless.

[employeeoftheyear]

Wait.

Does that mean you guys don't all breathe sea water?

[tellthestory]

I've never even seen the ocean.

[samefacesyndrome]

[ She shakes her head. ]

We would die if we tried.

[employeeoftheyear]

[He looks at her.

And looks her down and up.]

Gee, I haven't seen a lot of land animals before, but I gotta say you all look really weird for land creatures.

[violentenvies]

I am fairly certain I would drown if I breathed sea water.

[disharmonizes]

Only fairly certain?

You should try it and make sure.

[howtheworldwas]

You do?

[employeeoftheyear]

Of course I do! I'm a sponge, after all.

[Why is that so hard for people to buy???]
