(ROLE) CULT 2.0

cult.


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

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.

[ sorry, she is compelled to touch his shoulder. ]

Has anything changed since last week? Regarding what you know?

[ also-- ]

I have to say, you look better without the costume.

[wow! this is a bad list. he hates this list. after a few moments:]

...What do you both think?

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-06-21 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
...Exact same situation as last week, right?

[the rules don't look like they've changed, but - just in case.]
momming: (These pajamas are gay)

[personal profile] momming 2021-06-21 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I hate it.

[ well, yes. ]
heartlands: (pic#14961330)

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-06-21 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
...Me too.

[after a beat:]

I know... You lost a lot of people in your dorm, so maybe it's not fair of me to ask, but - unless everyone's really close with the other two, I'd rather not choose Kon.

[he immediately shifts away from the touch. sorry, otome.]

I also prefer being free of it.

[...]

I haven't learned anything new, exactly. There is something that happened, but I can't say it for Dorm Head reasons—you might want to try asking your own, or asking around in general.

[something sad flickers in chad's expression before it reverts back to its usual passiveness.]

Yes.

[unfortunately.]
heartlands: (pic#14961330)

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-06-21 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
...Okay.

[he - makes a weird face, like he's resisting the urge to do something.]

Did you ever hear back from admissions?
inaccordant: (5. dawn)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-06-21 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[he pinches the bridge of his nose.]

No.

[with a little bit of frustration:]

Yeah, that figures. [...] A little off topic, I guess, but I was meaning to ask - do you know how or why people are picked to help with the expulsions?
inaccordant: (12. neutral)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-06-21 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
No. [he frowns.] We weren't informed of the details of the process.
heartlands: (pic#14961328)

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-06-21 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
And, let me guess, whoever does know isn't going to bother answering you or me.

[ugh.]
inaccordant: (10. exasperated)

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-06-21 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
... Most likely.

[personal profile] inaccordant 2021-06-21 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[yeah that's the mood]
momming: (Violins.  Oh no.)

[personal profile] momming 2021-06-21 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I might have an idea already.

[ honestly, she just looks tired. ]

But I'll ask her, regardless.
momming: (This is some trippy shit homes)

[personal profile] momming 2021-06-21 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She just looks pained because yeah wow last week was terrible. But... ]

I was going to ask that we spare Sakyou-kun as well... I think he's been through a lot as it is.

Granted, all of them have.

[personal profile] heartlands 2021-06-21 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
That’s true, and - he’s my friend, too, but I think he’s also the kind of person who would never want someone else to get hurt in his place.

[...]

What do you think, Byleth?

It should be going around, I think.

[also tired.]
