(ROLE) CULT 2.0

cult.


On Monday at 10 PM, Rupert, Otome, and Byleth receive an encrypted e-mail.

d4rkness@Wiwaldi.edu
Come to classroom 1304; see attached map.

No one is in the halls as they creep to the abandoned classroom circled on the map. The normally locked door opens, revealing the room inside.

There are no windows and the lights are off, leaving the room cast in near darkness. Only a handful of candles, in what's probably a fire hazard, keep it illuminated; the fog being emitted from a personal fog machine doesn't help with visibility. What was once the teacher's desk has been pushed to the center of the room, with chairs seated around it. For some reason, there are cat decorations everywhere, mixed in with various (garish) occult items and patterns.

There is a cat-shaped bulletin board hanging on the wall, which reads:
Ā» This world is trying to assimilate all of you, who started this year, into its setting. If it succeeds, you'll remain trapped in this school, your souls drained until you cease to exist.

Ā» Each week, this place will make active efforts on a few select students. Once the weekend hits, they'll all be beyond saving. However, if any one of them is killed before then, they'll all be freed from the link, at least for the remainder of the week.

Ā» Death isn't necessarily permanent. Those who died can potentially be saved. However, no such option exists for the fully assimilated.

Ā» At the start of the week you'll be informed if you may recruit one person to join the cult. Provide a list of 3-4 people you want to recruit and you'll be told which one of them is approved. If you extend an invitation and they accept, they will join the cult the following week.

Ā» Preventing the assimilation aside, even the original cult was meant to be a secret, so it's important that word doesn't spread. If anyone else learns about your involvement in the cult or your task, whether from your mouth or another's, this world may enact consequences. No guarantee on who they might affect, so it's up to you to decide if risking harm upon another is worth it.

Well...

[thinking, thinking.]

I've actually been thinking - maybe we should start pooling our vouchers so we have, like, a healing spell on hand for someone in case they get hurt during the night. We can't contact the dorm heads for it once curfew happens, after all, so - if we all chip in now, we can have it ready in case anyone needs it on Thursday. I've got seven vouchers.

That's not a bad idea... I wonder if I could get one of my own healing spells back, as well. I think I might have eight.

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-06-22 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. Then... Are you okay with being a little more careful this week, or do you still want to help?
momming: (Principals always look like lesbians)

[personal profile] momming 2021-06-22 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
... I think I may have to sit this one out. I'm still fine if I'm caught, but...

[ Well. She'd more or less agreed to try and last, for the sake of ending this. ]

[he nods.]

We'll take care of it, then, as long as it's alright with Byleth.

[she nods.]

It is.

Would that include not talking with Bradley?

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-06-22 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[nods!]

If she isn’t there, it’ll just be me and you talking to him. Unless you just wanted to talk to him while I waited, like we talked about earlier.
divineimpulse: (22.)

[personal profile] divineimpulse 2021-06-23 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
Let's plan on that.

It's always good to have a plan waiting in the wings.

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-06-23 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[...]

Otome and I talked about it, but - do you want to use any vouchers so we can have a healing spell on hand?
divineimpulse: (79.)

[personal profile] divineimpulse 2021-06-23 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that something we can purchase with Chad ahead of time? How much are they?
heartlands: (pic#14895019)

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-06-23 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. The price for healing a minor injury is six vouchers, but the more we spend, the stronger the spell is. He said it could leave a scar no matter what, but...

I’ve got seven vouchers, I’m willing to use as many as we need.
divineimpulse: (35.)

[personal profile] divineimpulse 2021-06-23 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I have nine. But I'd like to save some in case anyone shows up injured this week, as well...

[she's thinking about claude...]
heartlands: (pic#14895019)

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-06-23 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It’s up to you, just give as many as you’re comfortable with. If you’d rather not, that’s okay, too - but when I get them from you and Otome, I can combine them with mine and give them all to Chad.
divineimpulse: (33.)

[personal profile] divineimpulse 2021-06-23 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's wait until Thursday, if possible.
heartlands: (pic#14961327)

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-06-23 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. Then... Here.

[holding out his vouchers! there are seven.]

For safekeeping? I think you'll have a better idea of how to use them than I will.
divineimpulse: (26.)

[personal profile] divineimpulse 2021-06-24 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[...]

Are you sure?
heartlands: (pic#14961328)

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-06-24 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Why wouldn't I be?
divineimpulse: (19.)

[personal profile] divineimpulse 2021-06-24 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[...

she smiles.]


Thank you, Rupert.

I'll do my best.
