you better wise up, 'cause i'll rise up, bring on any challenge

[comeandfindme]

[ Early on Wednesday, word goes around for everyone to meet in the Boys Bathroom at noon again, for another meeting. This time, with Salieri's help, Peregrine is leading it. ]

Okay, you guys. So, we're all scared, but we're all still here. And now we know we're not alone. For our sake, and...for theirs, let's see what we've learned what we can figure out. ...We're not gonna have another repeat. Not again.

[mayavericks]

[Still holding onto Peregrine's hand, Maya steps out into the hall.]

We're right here. Did you find anything?

[barberic]

No, unfortunately. I want to continue checking down this way, before we go back to the others.

[He gestures to the dorms.]

If you'd prefer to go back now, that's alright.

[mayavericks]

No. We do this together, the four of us.

[comeandfindme]

No way in hell, Mr. Barker.

[mcfife]

Together. There is danger here, and splitting up will tear away our shared defense.

[Angus leads the march to the Rodger's Dorm first.]

[stagemanagers]

[THE RODGERS DORM...is clear! Save for any pets vibing in here.]

[mcfife]

[He'll stop by Broadhurst Dorm next, opening the door and then jumping away in case something inside attacks!]

[stagemanagers]

[Broadhurst..........

is also clear!]

[barberic]

[What about Ambassador?]

[stagemanagers]

[Daddy Sondheim waits in Ambassador-

Nah, it's also clear.]

[comeandfindme]

[ Then, it's time for Longacre, isn't it? ]

[stagemanagers]

[Longarce.......looks exactly as it did when the last person left today, so it is clear.

All dorms are free of any possible intruders.]

[comeandfindme]

...What gives? There's nothing.

[barberic]

[Benjamin frowns.]

I know I saw something...

[Is the rattling noise still present?]

[stagemanagers]

[Not that you can hear.]

[mayavericks]

Do you enjoy being a coward, Wizard?

[stagemanagers]

[No response. Not even a flicker in the lights or the sound of the wind picking up outside.]

[mayavericks]

Answer us! You've stolen us and our friends away, and now you want to play games?!

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine squeezes Maya's hand. ]

Maya...

[mayavericks]

[Maya is still and silent for a moment...

... Eventually she squeezes Peregrine's hand back, though.]

I want to make him pay. For all of this.

[stagemanagers]

[Can we safely say we're heading back to the meeting, dears?]

[mayavericks]

[Not if ur gonna keep scaring me like that.

... But yeah, Maya will start leading them that way.]

[stagemanagers]

[Great!

As Maya leads them back down the hall toward the boy's bathroom, there is something that might catch her eye at the band room door.]

[mayavericks]

[Maya stops short. She puts her hand up to motion to the others, before moving her finger to her lips.

Slowly she begins to sneak forward, to examine... Whatever this is at the doorway. Her hand clutches the blade tight.]

[stagemanagers]

[It's nothing large or ominous. There is, thankfully, no terrifying figure waiting in the doorway for them to come around the corner.

No, it's actually quite small. A scrap of fur, laying on the floor of the band room doorway. Almost as if something had gone by in a hurry and gotten snagged.]
