(ROLE) HONOR SOCIETY.... 2!

[dormheads]

honor society.

On Monday at 6 PM, Yamato, Rita, and Alphinaud receive an encrypted e-mail.

TheRicherGood@Wiwaldi.edu

Good day. They say that idle hands are the devil's playthings, don't they? So if you'd be kind enough to entertain me, please gather at the "Bakery" at dusk.

We'd best be getting to work. Come alone, for your safety and everyone else's.

Yours,
Viola

No one is in the halls as the two of them creep to the "Bakery".

Before they knock, the door will open before their knuckles so much as touch against the surface of the door. The room is filled with the comforting and warm aroma of assorted baked goods, along with the occasional stray scent of something that doesn't belong - is that hot sauce? A table has been set off to the side, topped off with an elegant tablecloth and a vase full of fresh flowers that certainly aren't there during business hours. The table is set for teatime with a kettle full of perfectly steeped tea, dainty containers of sugar and milk, and a small tower of delectable finger sandwiches.

In addition, there appears to be a few items handwritten on fine stationary in curling calligraphy, though it appears a bit shaky in sections. For your use, there also appears to be a pen, a highlighter, and a small pad of sticky notes.

» Members of the Honor Society have the following responsibilities: conduct searches for killers, assist others in completing their Extra Credit Assignments, and encouraging the exchange of vouchers for goods and services on campus.

» Each week, the Honor Society must agree upon one person to conduct a search on. They will be able to know if this person has killed, if they possess an additional role, and receive a list of every person they have conversed with over the past week.

» Members of the Honor Society will be expected to report upon their progress of assisting others with Extra Credit. If Members of the Honor Society have successfully assisted others, they will be able to receive one voucher themselves as well as additional information gleaned by the Society Director.

» Of course, the greatest organizations are meant to grow and evolve. Some weeks, you will be able to select provide a list of three to four additional candidates of who you would like to invite to join the Honor Society. Viola will approve one person's membership, limitations and growth pending.

» Outside of the Honor Society, you may not express your membership to anyone. Each week, one person outside of the Honor Society may be made aware of its existence and its membership. You must all agree on this person before telling them. However should that number be broken, grave consequences will follow.

[ nods ]

We're counting on you for that. Speaking of telling-- Taichi knows about me and Rita, but I didn't tell him about you. I didn't want to without your knowledge or consent.

[arcsplainist]

Taichi? You two are close, then?

[ghoststrums]

Yeah. We're from the same world and we've been friends for six years now, so Rita agreed to let him be our first choice for sharing our role.

[arcsplainist]

I see—very well. I've little reason to object if you trust him, in that case.

[ghoststrums]

I do. Thanks. [ and im not done updating whee ] Speaking of trust-- we need to be careful about these extra credit tasks. Some around here have gotten legitimately dangerous. Pushing someone off a roof was bad enough, but two others I've heard were "frame someone for murder" and "convince someone to vote for someone innocent". The latter was done already.

[arcsplainist]

[ uh. ]

What? And we are expected to encourage such tasks?

[ghoststrums]

Probably, but... I think there are ways around it if we play around with the wording. [ he looks like. so mad about it, but he had his entire crisis earlier so ] The problem is getting people to tell us about those so we can have it happen in a way that makes it safe. Like-- that murder thing. It doesn't say it has to be the murder of a person. Maybe you can frame them for murdering like... a toy, or something. I don't know.

[ never mind he is still frustrated ]

[arcsplainist]

[ ... he nods ]

So we don't always have to go with how it may sound at first. The less questionable we can make these, the better.

[ghoststrums]

Right. It requires us to make sure people know that's an option, but... if we're stuck playing along with this, so long as we can make it safe for everyone, that's our best bet.

[arcsplainist]

I quite agree, and knowing how far these go makes it easier to plan for them. I thank you for the warning, Yamato; I may have been at a loss otherwise.

[ghoststrums]

Don't worry about it. I had an idea it might get to that point when I saw the one where someone had to push someone else off a roof, but... these are escalating a lot quicker than I'd like.

[arcsplainist]

Would that I could be surprised... but, I am not terribly so. Our overall circumstances have grown even more dangerous, as well.

[ghoststrums]

Yeah, and I'm sure it's only gonna get harder from here.

[arcsplainist]

Doubtless so. But I shall press forth nevertheless, for it is all we can do.

[overlimit]

Put up a framed picture of a killer to commemorate a murder well done?

[said very sarcastically, but...]

[ghoststrums]

This is the kind of stupid thing that would work here, isn't it.
