dormheads | (ROLE) HONOR SOCIETY.... 2!

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.

It shouldn't.

[she frowns before pressing a hand to the side of her head, thinking]

... I wonder...

[ . . . ]

Let's keep a pulse on it. Thank you for letting me know. We got something useful this week, so we'll make sure that all the risks we take are only calculated and worth it.

Right. [ he scrubs at his face a little and sighs ] I'm trying to get the word out that they don't have to take things so literally, but I'm not trying to be too obvious about things, either.

[ HE'S A BAD LIAR WHY IS HE ALLOWED HERE ]

[she nods...]

I know you're doing your best to maintain subtlety. I appreciate it.

Would you like tea? Or I can get cocoa or something else more to your tastes.

[ ah. ]

No, tea's fine.

[she'll pour him a cup of tea then, offering it out]

I know you must all be quite frustrated... but you really have been doing well, I think.

From what I understand, a lot of information has been received this week.

[ he'll take it with a soft thank you even though it feels real dumb to be talking about murderers and sippin' tea ]

... Well, a decent amount. Crow and Taichi bought some, the two groups last week got your applications and those map pieces, and we've got our own. We're getting somewhere. I just don't know if it's fast enough.

[sometimes that's what you have to do in order to survive

but she nods at that]

... so that makes two people from two different dorms who have made purchases - I wonder if others have as well? [she tilts her head] Even if it's just to make sure all information gets distributed evenly.

Taichi moved, so... He shared with Spring and Fall both. I think it's just Summer missing from the equation? But I'm sure Alphinaud won't mind sharing it.

[she nods]

Perhaps Alphinaud can meet with Sally and see about getting the information from her then!

[a beat]

I think she could benefit from the points too, in truth...

... Yeah. Things have been pretty bad for her...

[she frowns]

... they have. So I hope everyone extends Summer as much kindness as they can this week. Sally's such a sweet person...

Yeah. I hope she can catch a break this week.

You and I both...

We were able to squeeze in some time to get our nails done last week, but I wonder if there's some other stress-relieving activity she can get to do...

That depends on what she likes to do, doesn't it? What's her hobbies?

I'm not wholly familiar... but she likes homemaking and having tea. I think even just talking to people lifts her spirits some.

That's sort of vague, but... maybe I can try something.

[ pensive. ]

Would you? I'd appreciate it.

[her expression softens]

You're very kind.

I wouldn't go that far. She just seems like she needs it, that's all.

Well... I think that they don't have to be mutually exclusive.

Maybe we can send her a gift basket of different teas...

...

Does she like tea, or is that just what you give everyone by default?

She likes tea even more than I do.

[viola offers tea as a default because she's ojou-adjacent but sally is just. wow.]

So much tea.

... Because she's British?

[ yamato you can't just assign people british who love tea because they have an accent ]

Maybe?

But then it'd be a gift for her and her dorm! [a beat] I don't know how much I can send to an entire other dorm without breaking rules...

What if you say it's an early Christmas present? [ because apparently it's nearing christmas now. he guesses. ]

Oh, that's a cute idea...

[she hums thoughtfully]

I'll think about it! It'd be nice...
