(ROLE) HONOR SOCIETY...... 3!

[dormheads]

honor society.

On Monday at 6 PM, Yamato, Rita, Alphinaud, and Kon 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 filled with sweets this week. A lot of them look handmade!

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.

[azuta]

[wh

okay. she'll take it! thanks!

anyway she tilts her head]

Riku...? I beg your pardon, is that a friend of yours?

[ghoststrums]

[ OH MY GOD ]

... Iris?

[azuta]

[ . . . she huffs a little bit at that.]

... everyone keeps asking after 'Iris'. [a glance to kon, wherever he's in the room] I'm sorry if I'm not who you expected me to be.

But with all due respect, I think if you can't reach her, you ought to cut your losses at some point.

[ghoststrums]

[ wow!

no!

that's his thought it's just no ]

Viola, then? For the record, I'm not in the business of giving up on friends, even when they can't remember who they are. And you're not in the business of giving up at all.

[azuta]

[her expression turns a little bit more bewildered at that, and there's almost something a little - hurt? in her expression]

... I'm not, but....

I think I know exactly who I am. What is there for me to give up...?

[lmao]

[ghoststrums]

You wanted to see other worlds, didn't you? [ IM. FOR THE RECORD HE WILL KEEP GOING UNLESS STOPPED HE MAD ] You said you'd backpack through them. Do you remember that at all?

[azuta]

[keep going!! but she just frowns, tilting her head]

... did I say something like that....? I mean, it sounds like a nice dream, perhaps....

[ghoststrums]

It's not just a dream, you said you'd make sure it happened. Where's that conviction you had that said you'd tear this place to the ground to make sure everyone got a wish and got out of here? Do you really not remember any of that?

[azuta]

[???????]

It's a school, Yamato, why would I tear it to the ground? It's still an institution of learning. Everyone can simply graduate in order to receive their wish before returning home...

[ghoststrums]

A murder school. [ WHICH IS FOR MURDERS ] Where is home for you, then? Because you're not just from a place like the "Capital". You told me you were a fief lord. You care about your people and you don't want them to go to war, so how are you going to protect them like this?

[ why doesn't he know an easy trigger word like sora for iris, god, someone help ]

[azuta]

[ . . . her expression twists a little bit more at that, confused. though her brow furrows and her hand does come up to her head.]

.... A fief...? Whose...?

[refate]

[ kon has been watching this, quiet and assessing, but he does speak up: ]

What about Tanya, and the church? The orphans? Your grandfather?

[azuta]

My grandfather is— ... who's... Tanya...?

[though the headache seems to get worse then, and both her hands come up to clutch her head. it's a good thing that she's sitting, but bloody mary does turn to whine at her worriedly from her lap.]

Ah -

[ghoststrums]

Be ready to catch her, Riku passed out when I did it--

[ he'll grab bloody mary just in case :( ]

[azuta]

[thanks bloody mary will whine in yamato's arms what a bad day]

[refate]

[ kon goes to her side, holding one hand out in front of her and the other hovering at the small of her back. ]

Your university is waiting for you, back home, ojou-sama. Your important people are waiting for you. Tanya will be beside herself if we let anything happen to you.

They need you, and so do we - Winter, the Society, and all of Wiwaldi. Who is Iris Lana Armelia to allow herself to be made a puppet by those who would stand in the way of her helping others?

You won't let me disappear - but like hell I'll let you, either.

[azuta]

[thanks kon! she absolutely needs that - because there's a moment where the headache seems to completely throw her, but she gasps as her eyes snap open and her hand also reaches out to automatically grab onto him. she needs something steady before she just completely tumbles onto the floor.

her fingers curl into his arm and when she speaks, it's in a bitter hiss]

God damn her.

[ghoststrums]

[ HOLDING ONTO BLOODY MARY and petting her through her whines :C ]

... Iris?

[azuta]

Yes.

[just an affirmative, even if she seems a bit out of breath and her hand comes back up to her head in a wince.]

I'm here.

[refate]

[ his arms come up around her as she grabs hold, supporting her so that her legs don't go coltish under her, so that she doesn't tumble forward, and he takes a deep breath. fuck. ]

Yeah. Welcome back, Iris. [ nose tucking into her hair, kon gives her a squeeze. he'll ease her back carefully. ] That's going to get harder to do the longer this goes on, isn't it?

[azuta]

[she will absolutely take this hold, thanks. she is just a limp noodle, and she will hold back onto him. even as he sets her down, she doesn't really let go because she doesn't quite trust her strength]

.... I think you all need to be very intentional about your actions from now on, even if they may upset you.

[just.

just,,,]

If I can't be reached, it does not bode well.

[overlimit]

[rita's running over at this point.]

Iris!

You're back? What the hell... How many times has this happened!?

[azuta]

[hi rita.... iris will be nursing a headache then, reaching a hand out to her, palm up. she's okay. a little weak but. okay.]

... from my recollection, twice before this. Though this was more stubborn...

[arcsplainist]

... Oh, what a relief. Are you feeling all right?

[azuta]

A headache but -

[that's the least of their problems. she tries to give alphi a weak smile.]

... I'm sorry to worry you.
