just a few weeks longer
but we were like that from the moment we arrived
the first time we broke out of it was that first thursday night after the doors locked

[katzepaw]

Were there other students here when you came?

[departea]

oh they were
not like, a lot?
since we arrived before the school term started
but like everything was already perfectly set up when we got here

[katzepaw]

I think we all assumed you were victims here, but that perhaps you were part of a larger picture, not brought in at about the same time we were.

[departea]

going by all the papers you all found
there wouldn't be any reason to have us around for a very long time if we're specifically here for whatever that script it
it probably just started from when we got here, and then you all were brought in

[katzepaw]

I still find it hard to imagine we're all following some absurd script.

[departea]

i'm not sure if it's that exactly
since your actions are still your own and everything
minus when you're forced to move

[katzepaw]

Then what do you make of it? We are seemingly fed false information, right? Or at least some of the killers are?

[departea]

i guess one thing to wonder about is
why exactly does this place want us to go to school so bad?
what was the theory that everyone had about the script?
people didn't go into much detail about it with me

[katzepaw]

I may be behind the times, but I think the assumption was it was suggesting these murders were being set up with certain participants for drama.

[departea]

hmm
that i'm not fully sure about
because it said cancelled, didn't it?

[katzepaw]

Ah, hmm. So we are acting out something similar to what they envisioned, but likely not specifically to create this drama.

[departea]

that's what i think, yes
but we just need to figure out the whole
who they are bit
and why

[katzepaw]

But you do think there's a 'who'?

I was wondering almost if there was some sort of residual spell that was cast, left behind when they cancelled their project, and we are caught in it.

[departea]

that
hm.

honestly that's a good thought
because even while here we haven't actually seen or heard from anyone else
i think everyone is just hoping for a who because that gives you a specific enemy in mind

[katzepaw]

I would love a specific enemy.
But there so seldom is. Even when there is someone worth going after, there's usually something trickier underneath, a reason why they became so dangerous.

[departea]

so i guess then....

how far do people want to go with this?
is it just going far enough to get everyone back home or do we want to go deeper if we can do the former without the latter

[katzepaw]

I want to get home.

But there comes a point where there is both a responsibility and an inclination to carve out the sickness, if we can.

[departea]

i will say i wouldn't particularly blame anyone if they simply just want to go home
i know you all had things you had to do.

[katzepaw]

Important things. But this is important, too. And we have made a habit of trying to clean up the messes we find.

[departea]

good
i mean, not good that you're finding messes but


good. i hope we can fix this.
