[dormheads]

honor society.

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

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.

[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.

[refate]

[ he remembers their sunday conversation, even as he refuses to move away from her, letting her hold on. his thoughts are a mile a minute and overlapping, so it's hard to say anything more than angry for a moment. ]

"Prepare for the worst." [ there is no hoping for the best, right now. ] Do you have any insight, from when she overtakes you, that you can pass forward?

[azuta]

[ . . . . she closes her eyes at that.]

... don't forget this week's clue. Everything gained from field trips is true.

And... you all received letters this past week, didn't you? So - read them, listen to them. And all other similar communication.

[refate]

[ a nod, and he reaches up to brush some of her hair back, worried but serious. ]

Find the threads to the story, right? Connect the pieces. We'll figure it out.

[azuta]

[she nods.]

... and don't be afraid to do what might be necessary.

[refate]

[ he makes a little bit of a face, but snorts. ]

Yeah. I'll make sure Winter shares everything it knows about you with each other, for starters, and get them to be less worried about kicking Viola out.

When it comes down to dealing with her as a villain, though, I'm not telling you anything - just in case.

[azuta]

[ . . . . ]

I'll write my weaknesses down for you.

The easiest is just to overpower me physically. I think that's the most obvious.

[but admittedly

it's getting to the point that she'll let you do that that's difficult.]

[refate]

[ don't like it! but kon will still listen to her and accept that, because if it comes down to it -

well, if it comes down to it. ]

Strangely enough, you have a rather physical dorm? [ dryly ] So I suppose that's a small mercy, there, to start.

[azuta]

[she nods]

Don't hesitate, or give me an inch of grace.

[she would absolutely exploit your bleeding hearts]

[refate]

[ reaching down to take both of her hands, squeezing. ]

We won't like it. We'll absolutely hate it. But I'll hold onto some vouchers for when we're done, should it come to blows.

[ it's a weak joke, but it's a reluctant promise that he'll rigidly keep if it comes down to it. ]

[azuta]

[ . . . . she nods at that.]

As long as you don't let me hurt any of you.

[that's

that's literally all that matters to her]

[refate]

... I'll make sure we do our best.

[ because he knows that'll eat at iris, once they get her back for good. ]

[azuta]

.... then your best will certainly be more than enough.

[don't let your hearts get in the way.]

[refate]

[ ... he brings their hands up, kissing her knuckles the way she's done for him. there's quiet, searching for the right thing, the right decision, before he settles on something - ]

Sometimes doing your best is not good enough. Sometimes you must do what is required.

[ if they have to, then they'll put their hearts in it for her rather than let them hold them back. ]

[azuta]

[ . . . . ]

.... intention and results, together.

[because good intentions have never been enough for her - they need to have a conclusion they can live with. she squeezes his hand, gentle, even as she searches his expression.]

.... It's going to be alright.

[finally, for some reason, she feels like she can say that]
