Classmates in the bathroom, classmates in the bathroom at a...meeting??

[violentenvies]

[it’s cramped in here, and isn’t the best place for a meeting, but when you have to make do, you have to make do. Once everyone’s there, Salieri will pull over a chair that he brought in and situated next to the sink, and use it as a hand hold to stand on it, before lifting a hand for attention]

Everyone, if I might have your attention, please!

[it’s loud enough to get everyone’s attention--louder than he’s spoken (except to yell at Discord lol) in quite a while. Once he has quiet, though, he’ll begin:]

Thank you all for coming. Now, I’m sure we’re all rather disturbed by what the Wizard has attempted to taunt us with this week. However, we cannot give in to fear yet. There is still much of this place to be thoroughly explored, and it would be to our benefit to once again try to organize ourselves and create not only emergency supplies for everyone here, but explore every nook and cranny of this school and outside of it and gather as much information as we can to make our escape.

((BIG OOC NAVIGATION))

((FINAL OOC NOTE: The actual emergency backpacks/rations/medical kits creations can all be hand-waved or mentioned in top levels as people want. Once the volunteer groups are set, I'll make a spreadsheet of who's exploring what and everyone can figure out when they want to toplvl for that with their groups. HERE IS THE PRELIMINARY SPREADSHEET There's still a lot of places to be explored, so feel free to still grab one or more!))

The garden is being tended to. There's fresh fertilizer around the tree, and all of the flower beds are kept neat and weedless. Someone would have to be coming there regularly to keep it looking as immaculate as it is.

There aren't any animals there either. No signs of life passing through...but there aren't any dangerous plants that I could find. Nothing poisonous.

Re: INFO SHARING

[employeeoftheyear]

[Spongebob giggles boyishly.]

Hester has a crush on someone~

[This is vital information.]

[disharmonizes]

[...]

What, really?

[No he wants to know the gossip, go on.]

[brokeforgood]

It’s the Wizard, you lovable goof.

[violentenvies]

[As soon as Farrah starts to sway like that, Salieri's immediately clambering down off his chair and pushing through the crowd of people to her, reaching out for her, to put hands on her shoulders, gently but firmly, to try and get her to look at him]

Farrah--Farrah, look at me. Look at me, ma fille--what are you talking about?

[mcfife]

I was part of that group. I recognized a few names, including the one whose weapon was meant to kill me in The Wizard's photo. [And Riley, but Farrah is here and he's rather not make it too big of a deal yet.] One of the capes from the machine belonged to a girl trapped there with me.

[He rubs the red riding hood between a forefinger and a thumb.]

I remember nothing about it, even though it must have been months between my escape and my coming here.

[violentenvies]

Not without others with you, Mademoiselle Peregrine, please. I know you're well trained, but we're safer in numbers.

[mcfife]

I plan to scale the walls of the building and see what lies above. Does anyone wish to ensure that I return safely?

[comeandfindme]

[ Here's probably the best place to say— ]

I can get medical supplies together. And, uh... It might take awhile, but— I'm trying to treat all the deer hide I have. If you've got one of these cloaks? [ She pulls at her own modified one, which yes, she's still wearing, please just assume she's always wearing it. ] I need someone who knows how to get buttons into them. I can...show you what Connor did, if you need it. If so, I can fit the skins and make us something better for the cold, just...just in case.

[employeeoftheyear]

It isn't! It's this cute boy that she's totally head over heels about.

[A pause.]

Don't tell her I told you that, though.

[comeandfindme]

[ ... ]

Who has the most experience? [ She doesn't look pleased with this, but— ] I'm not taking anyone out there who hasn't trained.

[employeeoftheyear]

Yeah! I think he's some sorta singer or something' but I caught her looking him up while visiting her last week and she seemed really flustered when I asked her about it!

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine, of course, tries to grab Maya's hand before she leaves. ]

Hey— Maya, wait. Stop.

[alchemistake]

I've spent a lot of time in the auto shop. If there's anything else left to be uncovered in there, I'd be able to find it.

[He sounds pretty confident in saying that, even if that's maybe a little. Sad.

He likes machines alright.]

[employeeoftheyear]

Oh come to think about it, Varian got the car working! Does anyone have a driver's license because if we do there should be nothing stopping us from just leaving, right?

[feudalladyshandmaid]

There's more than one of these things going on...?

[That boils her blood. Just what Cassandra needed to clear her head, a good burst of Adrenaline.]

Can you remember if the Wizard was involved?

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Carved? Was there a "X" cared into something?

[mcfife]

No. [He shakes his head, frowns.] We were in an opera house lead by a man calling himself The Phantom. It is likely it is only a false name, as the character is supposed to be from a fictional store.

cw: cancer mention

[brokeforgood]

I could—- Riley wouldn’t stab me! Or—- maybe I could make it so they found Annleigh’s dads cancer sooner—- I’d never go to that stupid fucking school—- [She’s not looking at him, and her song changes to one more frantic—]

I want to claw my way back in time
I wouldn't ever cheer, I wouldn't try
I'd just join the chess club or ballet
And have a better definition of a bad day
I'm sorry I was reckless
I'm sorry I got drunk
I'm sorry about the Wizard
The Wizard fuckin sucks
And I'm just like oh my god, I can't do this forever

[disharmonizes]

No, actually, someone had carved in "ANYONE?" and "CAN ANYBODY SEE THIS?" in different places in there.

You know, totally normal and not at all unnerving stuff.

[employeeoftheyear]

[Raises hand.]

I survived the Kelp Forest once.

[themuseabandonsyou]

I can help, here. It's probably not good to put too many of the jarred things in there, just because they could break? But I can start focusing on drying things to preserve them that way.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Oh that's foreboding.] I agree. It's too... simple. Too perfect. Just like everything else around here.

It's like this place was made for us.

[comeandfindme]

[ ... ]

Did you try and talk back?

[disharmonizes]

I did, in fact. I figured it was worth a try.

But nothing happened.
