Where've you lot been?

[dormheads]

Sick. I've been in my room.

[headmt]

Right, right, like the Bear was saying. So anyone tell you what all happened?

[dormheads]

If you think I'm lying, don't pretend otherwise. It's a waste of everyone's time.
The principal gave me a summary.

[headmt]

I actually don't think you're lying. Or I don't think you think you're lying.

You want any details or are you satisfied with the Bear's explanation?

[dormheads]

I'll take the details. The explanation I received was fairly sparse.

[headmt]

Sure, sure. Last thing you remember? Before you got sick? Is it all of Thursday night?

[dormheads]

I returned to my room. The lockdown happened.

[headmt]

And then just ... blank?

[dormheads]

I got sick around that time, so yes, my memories are fuzzy from that point.

[headmt]

Got it.

[Just accepting that? That's fine. Sometimes you just have memory problems too.]

Suppose I'll start with Thursday night. We were all locked in as well, tables were thrown, I suppose. Not by me! But at some point, we heard a yell, and what could have been ... someone hitting wood? The floor perhaps? It was a bit hard to tell. But definitely came from upstairs, where we can't normally go. Every dorm heard a different variation on this, so we think it might have been you lot.

Woke up Friday to the alarm, I met up with Caleb and Byleth and we found Sieghart covered in goose bites in a ditch, and some soggy slippers. Turns out some other people found shit too, including, well. Hiyori's corpse. So there's that.

[dormheads]

It might've been me, since I think I hit my head against my desk.
Is Sieghart all right?

[headmt]

Ah. Yeah, perhaps. But the yelling?

He's all right. Maybe a bit ego bruised. Think Dimitri was also found wandering outside for some reason. Never really figured that out.

Then of course, our surprise swift and speedy trial. Spent all of Saturday under the watchful eye of your Principal Bear trying to figure out who could have done in Hiyori. Eventually a dog solved it.

[dormheads]

I don't really remember. Maybe I swore because of the fall.
A dog what?

[headmt]

Spent nine hours running around like chickens with our heads cut off until a dog growled at a girl and we all decided she was the one. So.

School is going well.

[dormheads]

Sounds like a bad joke.

[headmt]

Does it? Haven't even gotten to the death match that took place on the athletics field yet.

[dormheads]

I've been hearing something about that from people, although no one's actually been able to conclusively state that Kaoruko died, rather than being expelled?

[headmt]

[There was bold text.............. no one would ever do bold text and lie............ ]

I mean, if you'd like to believe she fell and landed on a bunch of pillows where we couldn't see, then sure, I suppose that's something you can tell yourself.

[dormheads]

I don't have a reason to believe that the principal lied when he said she was expelled.
This isn't your world. It's not illogical to think that not everything works the way you're used to.

[headmt]

Magic doesn't exist until suddenly it does when you don't want to believe something bad?

[dormheads]

Something that you don't know the mechanics of isn't magic by default.

[headmt]

Okay, Chad.

[It's just text, but he doesn't seem all that convinced.]

Well, you're caught up.

[dormheads]

Wasn't the best explanation, but I suppose it wasn't the worst either.
It sounds like it's been a long weekend. Get some rest.
