(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.

I think they called it an "outdoor rage room". They're a little prone to breaking things when upset, which I understand entirely... so I got them all pinatas and very ugly vases that they could whack with sticks and throw around to work through their aggression. Very satisfying shatters and all that.

[ . . . ]

If you wanted to step outside for a bit, we can do that? I'll make sure it's cleaned after so no one gets hurt.

[just

break things? he seems unhappy and this is her solution for rage]
ghoststrums: (understand what i mean)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-23 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

Viola. [ voice a little tight. ] I think if I start breaking things now, I won't stop.
azuta: (ღ goodbye old you)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-06-23 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
... I think you'd get tired eventually.

But... don't hurt yourself, in trying to avoid hurting others. I've already patched up a few sets of self-inflicted injuries from that this past week.

My offer will be open - or for anything else you might need or want.
ghoststrums: (if you hate it you don't have to stare)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-23 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks, but I'll figure it out. [ he looks away briefly before looking back at her and changing the subject because. nope. gonna hold these feelings in and yell later. ] But that train of thought also leads to something else. If this is an additional activities thing-- Viola, that means one of the Dorm Heads was responsible for Lan Wangji's death, too.
azuta: (ღ don't need him)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-06-23 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
[yamato your feelings. viola looks at him a little worriedly but ultimately the change of subject does take precedence.]

So it does.

[and she frowns at that, her expression darkening]

Even if they did not order it, they may have very well been aware of it without notifying the rest of us. I don't take that lightly.
ghoststrums: (you realized it's not my fault)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-23 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Neither do I. [ he sticks his hands in his pockets to hide the balled up fists ] I thought we were meant to be able to find the others so we could work together on this, but we can't be sure of that now.

[ which ... sucks. yes. let's go with sucks ]
azuta: (ღ i bought it;)

[1/2]

[ . . . . she looks thoughtful for a moment, letting her finger tap against the table.]

Let's consider our possible situations, determine them based on likelihood, and then use that to determine possible paths to take.

Based on what Rita was saying earlier - four assignments, four Dorm Heads, six persons. In theory, two people acting by themselves and two sets of partners.

The most benign option is that this was simply negligence - Otome perhaps did not understand the specifications of your rule, and mentioned it to someone else in hopes of it helping since it is a rather useful assignment.

The most concerning option is the combination of possibilities that Otome received an assignment that could make her kill Lan Wangji, and she shared it with her possible partner as the most common proposal is that there were two possible culprits last week.

There are a few middle of the way options - but even if she has one specific type of assignment that is fatal, it remains that there are two other types of assignments you can find. When you perform your checks, the hope will simply be that you do not find her possible partner - so you can learn what another assignment is, if they have permission to speak.

Everything from here is likely risk assessment - and perhaps you ought to send someone besides yourself to discuss roles to any future assignments you find, since if Otome did tell her partner, she may have revealed your identity.
azuta: (ღ tell me something)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-06-23 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[a beat]

Oh... I'm sorry - I have a tendency to jump to problem solving...

But I'll also watch all the other Dorm Heads more closely now in case they are involved in this.
ghoststrums: (i'd like a stinkin' achin' shake)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-23 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ having some sort of-- plan? outline? assessment? whatever-- does sort of seem to calm yamato down. he's clearly still angry, but still. a little less ]

Don't apologize, it's fine. And I'd appreciate you keeping an eye on the other Dorm Heads as well. But if I'm the one already compromised, isn't it better to keep it that way?

[ this isn't even a sacrifice thing. okay a Little but also logically ]
azuta: (ღ i bought it;)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-06-23 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[she tilts her head in thought]

It depends... In a way, yes, because that means only one of you would be the spokesperson for the group and the others would remain in mystery.

In another way, if Otome told her possible partner and revealed your identity, when you go to ask them about their assignment, they may not be very forth-coming. Whereas if Rita and Alphinaud asked, there may be a chance that they could pretend they are not part of the Honor Society and received the information another way.
ghoststrums: (but in the end there's a drag)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-23 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
To be honest, if we do hit her partner, I don't think they'd be very forthcoming either way. She told me outright she couldn't share anything at all or there'd be dire consequences before I told her anything about my own.

[ which is why yes he is a little fucking annoyed it was slipped through ANYWAY imagine its been taichi the whole time ]
azuta: (ღ diva is a female version of a hustla)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-06-23 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
... is that so...

[she tilts her head]

Then I suppose that different assignments have different regulations...
ghoststrums: (but in the end there's a drag)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-23 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
... That, or it's because of the nature of it that she didn't want to share anything, not even to skew the details.

[ right back to otome is a murderer :/ ]
azuta: (ღ been struttin' in this game)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-06-23 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ . . . . hmm.]

... we don't have enough information to be certain yet - though this is admittedly a roadblock on how to get more information.

Perhaps if you find the other assignments, you can get a better idea of what Otome's might be? Either by making comparisons or connections.
ghoststrums: (who laughs at a funeral can't)

[personal profile] ghoststrums 2021-06-23 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. Well, I doubt we'll get another hit this week, but it's worth a shot.
azuta: (ღ goodbye old you)

[personal profile] azuta 2021-06-24 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
There will be more chances with time...

[ . . . though in theory people might be dying then.]

... let's try to work cautiously and quickly.
