[Sometimes you're just LIKE THIS. SHE SHOULD KNOW. HELLO. SHE OF ALL PEOPLE DON'T EVEN BE IN MY HOUSE WITH THIS.
Anyway his brow furrows a little but he'll take a seat since she's nice enough to pull it back for him. With a little, polite nod:]
Thank you. [...He also frowns a little at that, considering. If only he was not the sort of person who literally went "it's okay if I lose my right arm to infection because my left arm is the one I use for sword fighting".]
If the need should arise, I would still be quite capable of fighting. [A beat.] ...But how much would something like that cost?
Hmm... At least 6 Vouchers, but I try to give all things related to healing and medicine as discounted as possible. I believe we're currently reconciling some of our protocol, but I think I may be able to let people have a power where they can heal themselves or another once a week.
I was hoping there wouldn't be a need for it, but I see now that's not the case.
[she'll move to pour the tea for him then!! there's two levels to the tray of snackies on the table - one with chocolates, and the second tray has wagashi! variety.]
Someone's explained the entire Voucher System to you, I hope?
Anyway Sakyou looks more interested in that heal power than anything because !!!!! THE ABILITY TO HELP OTHERS HELLO YES. He'll give the tea set-up and snackies the appropriate thanks in a moment but he's a hyperfocusing idiot.]
...Unfortunately, I would imagine the injuries will only continue, yes. So if I were at all able to help others, then I would like for the chance to try. Though for now, I'm afraid I'll have to wait.
[His THREE SAD VOUCHERS. That he'll probably also end up giving away honestly because he can't say no to people who ask for his help.]
I've been told that one is able to buy a number of things, from personal belongings and abilities to "powers that aren't theirs"...? And that the price is negotiable, to a degree. Is this more or less the gist?
Of course - have you been told the explicit ways to earn Vouchers?
[she's just going to make sure that sakyou is caught up! she doesn't mind talking business. this is literally her favorite thing. miss capitalism.]
But that's correct - on average all Dorm Leaders have a base price that they must have. You can add or subtract up to 2 Vouchers from that price. A First Aid Kit would be 10 Vouchers, but can be negotiated to 8 or 12, depending. I sold one for 8 during the first week.
I heard about the trial - and I've been thinking about other things that might be useful too, for when people get stuck. I understand your willingness to give Vouchers to others, but consider saving some for other, more direct ways to help people. That is my advice.
[MISS CAPITALISM HELLO. Sakyou looks a little surprised at how quick she is to roll a good plan out, honestly, but he's grateful for it. He's not used to having to deal with weird shit like this okay he's not an idiot but he does still tend to solve at least Some Problems through violence and not diplomacy...
He's quick to shake his head, though!]
Ah, please - I appreciate the input. Anything that could be of use in maximizing efficiency is something I'm grateful for. I think it goes without say, but a situation like this is far beyond what I'm familiar with...
[As for the first question:] The ways I'm aware of so far are the extra credit, the task board assignments and talking to one's dorm head.
Those are the primary ones. You may also earn them from engaging in Extracurriculars, such as the Debate Tournament this past week. There are others, but we're not permitted to tell you...
[she takes a sip of her tea at that though]
You and I similarly aren't very familiar with situations like these but... well, I've tried to think of ways to address problems as they come up... I think I will be hosting this coming week alongside Chad, so I will do my best to assist as much as I am permitted.
[He looks briefly frustrated, but it's not directed at her, since he - hopes, at least, that they're being honest about their bound hands.]
I see... I'll be sure to do as much as I can, then. [A little sigh.] ...I'll do what I can, too. There were a few others who needed vouchers for more pressing matters, but I'll hold on to what I can so that I can be of more use in the future.
[And then, finally, with a polite nod to the tray:] ...Thank you. These all look very good.
[He says, gently taking a wagashi. Funny thing is that Sakyou dislikes sweets but it is very ic for him to get into a situation where he must eat them anyway because he's too polite.]
[literally she only knows about the clowns and i think the airship she got a horrible summary because it was right after it happened
anyway
she taps her finger against the table, brow furrowing]
.... some parts are relevant to me, and some aren't... may be the better way to paint it?
Just because I do not know something does not make it untruthful... similar to how I did not know that the school had mechanisms in place in case of murder, but it does.
I didn't get to see the document itself since the costume affected my range of vision, but based on what others were saying...
There was a list of items that I didn't understand that was written - dandelion tea, income tax, health insurance, jello...? I like them all but I can't imagine what they all have to do in relation to each other or me.
There was a section that had 'nobility' written and - well, I come from a political family, but it is not tied to the concept of nobility. We don't have a hierarchy system like that in this country so while I understand the spirit, the execution is flawed.
What else... I think someone mentioned a piece saying "social pariah"... and while objectively I can understand why that might be tied to me... I do not believe it has any association to my application that I submitted to this institution.
Mm... The most I can assume is that it's a sign someone else is keeping watch and keeping notes, for some reason. Especially if a few of them do tie to you in a way, even if it's distant or strangely-worded. Though some of us had suspected as much, given none of us recall submitting any form of application at all.
[Honestly that's a mood, he feels that expression. Sometimes bad shit happens and your instinct is not to panic or feel upset or scared, it's to just be mad about it.]
It's certainly possible. If something out there is able to obtain information on all of us without our awareness, then I don't see why it couldn't do the same for you four. [Dorm head stalkers...] What was the other suggestion?
[ . . . . . . she takes some of her tea and considers her words.]
... similar to last week, when the four of us were ill. Some suggestion that... something bigger was wrong, and it was more than mere coincidence that all of us were sick. I don't know if I have yet found an answer for it but...
[ . . . she places her tea down and looks at her own bandaged handsies. hm.]
... someone who was in the other group also told me a little bit about it - about the impossible-sounding adventure that they had. It sounds so much like fiction to me, but he was right there, hurt and aching. So how could I deny that it was something he experienced?
Did you speak with the other group yet, Sakyou? Were you able to find anything similar between your experiences?
[VIOLA YOUR HANDS????? HELLO look. He's furrowing his brow about that!! i aki forgot the npcs had injuries but Sakyou was just being polite by not mentioning it or something it's fine don't worry about it HE WILL NOW.]
...Have your attempts to find answers turned up anything risky?
[He's frowning a little but like, he gets it. Sometimes you gotta perish to dig up the truth. God bless. Anyway, he'll just nod about that. Fortunately he also spoke to Manwol who's apparently the most frank.]
I did, yes... I spoke to Manwol about it on Friday. There were a large number of differences, but at least two ties that stood out. One, the involvement of other people - those from the school, and those from our homes. Two, alterations of one's memory. Though it sounds like the scope of theirs was different, too.
No, but if they did, that wouldn't stop me. [it should probably stop her. she'll turn her hand over and press her own fingertips over the bandages] ... I thought I'd gotten injured when my mirror fell over when I collapsed. I think that's still what happened, but...
[well it's more things to consider.
but she'll listen and then tap her finger against the table again.]
... Alterations of one's memory. Could you explain that to me, please? I don't know if I was able to get that report from Catra on Thursday.
[SHE DIDN'T GET ANY REPORT FROM CATRA ON THURSDAY]
[Wow can't believe they're just the same fucking person. His brow knits with concern... He still hasn't taken a bite of his wagashi yet, but he sets it back on his plate, folding his hands together as he listens.]
...Well. Fantastical and unexplainable things are happening quite often here.
[So maybe there are more sinister explanations.]
I hope you've treated it properly. Do you not have the ability to access the things you can give us...? [WHERE YALLS HEAL BUFFS!!! Anyway wow Catra you're failing him but at least she'll finally get some more information now.]
Likely because it only happened to me, and I was only able to tell the others later. After my second death, I awoke on the airship they had stolen, believing myself to be someone from that place rather than recalling my proper home. A terrorist operative, who had been waiting for the other three to arrive so we could carry out our mission... It only lasted until the next death, but I can still recall that-- "life", I suppose. Even now.
[What kind of weirdass mods-clearly-want-the-sweet-npcs-to-embrace-death tomfoolery is THIS. Anyway he's looking a little startled by her surprise because HE FUCKIN ASSUMES. PEOPLE MENTION THE PART WHERE THEY DIED. HE HATES IT HERE. THIS IS JUST DJ CALUDE'S TERRIBLE RECAPS ALL OVER AGAIN.]
...Did Catra-san not mention that...? [CATRA.] Yes - we all died a number of times throughout our attempts to finish our objective, and woke up again at a point slightly before dying so we could continue.
[shUT THE FUCK UP!!!!! LET VIOLA DIE!!!!!! I'VE BEEN TRYING SO HARD
. . . . . but wow she hates that]
... no, but I only spoke to her about it on Thursday. She must've.... still been recovering.
[ . . . god she hates this so much!! give her a second she's bluescreening a little, her fingers curling into her palms and letting her nails dig into skin]
Are you truly alright, Sakyou? To - go through the experience of dying...

Hadn't you been with the group that retrieved... what was it, a map portion, my application, and Chad's? Is that correct?
no subject
Anyway he's just ignoring that first part.]
That's correct, yes. Have they already spoken to you about it? Catra-san at least, I should hope?
no subject
To some degree, yes - Catra shared it with all of Winter upon her return. We talked a bit about it, but it's...
Well it's a little odd to me... I don't understand any of the annotations or notes made...
no subject
He'll just nod though since he assumes Catra had probably given like, a marginally better recap than Claude, at least. God.]
...I don't know, either. Though Chad said much the same about at least one of the annotations on his. Some parts are truthful and some aren't, then?

Not that I could know what any of it means...
