(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.

VIOLA

[azuta]

[She's brushing some snow out of her hair as she sits bundled up, putting Bloody Mary in a sweater. Fuck yes.]

Good job last week. Rita and Yamato's efforts were successful, and I look forward to seeing results from everyone this week. [and a bit fondly:] I'm happy you're joining us, Kon. Thank you everyone for inviting Winter in.

I was able to procure the following.

[She'll push a paper across the table. It says:

The exchange of Vouchers allows for the Dorm Heads to regain control of themselves briefly. ]

I wonder what that could mean. [huh!] But ah - please continue to report to me regarding your successes in helping others with Extra Credit.

[She's here for these Extra Credit assisting reports and any other questions! Please report all Extra Credit Help by Sunday at 11:59 PM PST.]

[refate]

[ there's a flicker of something in his face when he sees what's written on the paper, but he sets it aside immediately afterwards and gives viola (and bloody mary???) a smile. ]

Hey, Vivi. You know I'm nosy as hell and happy to help, so, glad to be here.

I guess I already have a question, relevant to Extra Credit. [ a little amused: ] Know anyone's least favorite food?

[azuta]

So you are. I think you're an excellent candidate.

[but she hums thoughtfully at that...]

... Sakyou doesn't like sweets.... but he will be very polite and pretend he does.... from what I've gathered.

[very strict research]

[ghoststrums]

[ as always. tweat for bloody mary in her PERFECT SWEATER. ]

No recruiting this week? [ he doesn't sound that surprised, though, and follows it up; ] Hey, Viola, the name Iris doesn't mean anything to you, does it?

[azuta]

[bloody mary loves tweat, thank you. but she shakes her head]

No, you might've hit your maximum for the time being. [just to confirm that but also

she tilts her head]

No? Should it?

[arcsplainist]

[ I'm timewarping this to Tuesday. Anyway, while he's giving Bloody Mary some much deserved pets, because who doesn't enjoy a cute dog in a sweater: ]

Good eve, Viola; I am... pleased to report I was able to assist Mabel in her extra credit assignment.

[ He sounds a little strained saying this. The wholeass braid missing from the back of his head probably has nothing to do with this. ]

[azuta]

[oh no. oh sweetie. viola's expression just turns a little sympathetic at that]

... I see... Thank you for your willingness, Alphinaud. Your contribution is noted and will be quite useful to us.

[ . . . ]

Can I get you anything to make it up to you?

[overlimit]

[rita's crouched on the floor, offering a piece of bologna to bloody mary... though she quickly lets go as if anticipating losing a finger while she's at it. oh, is viola free now? okay, her turn to report.]

Alphinaud was there too, but it looks like he already got a report in, so I guess I'll take this one. We helped Nier with his extra credit.

[ghoststrums]

[ forces dana to pay attention to me but he's. still got a treat for bloody mary ]

... How are you feeling?

[ because she was close to crow and gestures at the rest of the winters on cyoa ]

[refate]

[ dana is this going to be iris or viola, important questions to ask.

he's a little grim, given the discussion of the day. but. ]

... can I borrow you?

TALK TO EACH OTHER

[dormheads]

[refate]

[ "snow you're supposed to be working" look i'm getting these tag ins here real quick and going back leave me alone

he's seated and looking at everything, spinning one of the highlighters in his good hand. then, he looks at the gathered, catching the highlighter and gesturing. ]

... so, who wants to catch me and Alph on things that've happened and what we should know, besides the rules and guidelines. Then we can go from there?

TARGET

[overlimit]

We have to choose somebody to investigate this week. As usual, we gotta make this decision pretty fast. I don't suppose anyone's got any good theories or hunches...?

[overlimit]

Hey, so... I was thinking that, now that we have someone from each dorm here, we can distribute information more effectively. For example...

[she gestures to that hint they earned: The exchange of Vouchers allows for the Dorm Heads to regain control of themselves briefly.]

What if we took some of the information we gain here, made copies, and slipped them into the lockers of everyone in our dorms overnight? That way, everyone can get the information with nobody left out of the loop. It'd be completely anonymous, so we don't have to deal with any awkward "where'd you hear that?" kind of questions.

[arcsplainist]

[ So, the results for their target are in, and... ]

... Another miss.

'Tis plain betwixt this week and the last we have had far too little to go on when deciding upon our choices—we must, henceforth, have more to go on, and I believe we can all do our part in making that possible. May I suggest that we as a group decide what we should be checking for during every trial? There are some checks we can presume will be a given—such as when Otome inspects any injuries or lack thereof in private—but that is not enough to land us the decisive evidence we need.

What have we been overlooking?

[overlimit]

So has anyone made any real headway in figuring out how these vouchers are calculated? We know that we get vouchers for doing tasks, doing extra credit, talking to our dorm heads, taking part in those school events like the Debate Club, and for us, helping others with extra credit.

Some people have suggested we might get extra vouchers for voting correctly at trials or for good behavior, but I don't know about those ones. I'd also wondered if we get a bonus for doing a task aligned with our dorm, but that's up in the air too.

And like, out of curiosity, how many vouchers are you guys getting each week? I kinda had to stop sharing that info with people outside of this group, so I don't throw off anybody's math with [shrugs] unknown variables.

FRIDAY INVESTIGATIONS

[arcsplainist]

[ Howdy, friends. It's Friday, the best day of the week. ]

I am glad to see you are all well. As expected, there was much to find this morning. Were we all able to conduct our own investigations?

For my part, I had joined both Beau and Caleb in a search around the auditorium. There was little to be found, other than a large pile of clothes on the stage—more precisely, costumes, and... above that, Crow's body had been hanging from the ceiling. Though that was all we found, I do wish to return on the morrow for a second look. If not myself, then we must ensure someone does.

What of you three?

. . . AND ONE OTHER THING

[arcsplainist]

[ So after they have concluded talking investigations, whenever that may be: ]

Ere we depart, there is one other matter I wish to discuss. Namely, regarding the information we had received earlier this week of our dormitory leaders and the vouchers. 'Twould appear there is truth to it, in case any of you had doubts.

[ Here, Alphinaud pauses briefly to apologetically glance over Viola's way... but Yamato did give her a warning before this... Sorry, Viola. ]

Yesterday, while spending some time with Sally, she briefly... came to—I was fortunate enough to be able to speak with the real her. With Annie, that is.

Have you experienced the same with your own leaders?

FIIIIELD TRIPS

[refate]

[ SPEAKING OF NOTEBOOK kon slides his notebook out again as he had before, but it's specifically open to the pages dedicated to field trips - pages seven through eleven. it's since been updated, but it's missing a certain someone's CYOA... ]

Ichiro, Beau, and Kainé told us how their field trip went, and what happened. I have a picture of the mentioned keychain on my phone, but sorry about the quality of the adlib sheet. [ it's a phone picture of a phone picture that he. obviously got printed out before he came here..... ]

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE???

[ghoststrums]

[ he is... wasting no time, taking out a paper and writing out:

SET 1: Caleb, Taichi, Luxanna, Yamato ]

Monday. Caleb or Luxanna. Taichi's hand and most of his body is too fucked up to do anything, and since he knows about all of us, if he was working with Byleth he'd have no reason not to target from this group.

[ and. yamato is out for. an obvious reason. no, no. check him, guys. it'd be funny. ]

And if Byleth is still alive after whatever happens with Caiman tomorrow, we need to decide how to deal with her. I doubt she was lying. She fits the hint with Rupert, the footprints then, and all the checks we made on Crow's murder. She's already struck twice. We can't let that be a third.

WELP

[arcsplainist]

... We've had time to sleep on our decision, yes?

What shall it be?
