(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.

[ also like actually talking about the field trip part one because i'm not doing this in full steps; ]

I don't know what exactly happened on Lalli and Luxanna's side of things. We were separated for-- a while. I don't know how much time we spent in there total, time kept skipping around, and... all of us were given a role and memories that fit with where we wound up. We remembered each other and our real selves, but we had... an entirely different backstory, and different sets of powers.

It was a world with... some kind of superhero agency. There were people that had animal traits there, too-- they were called hybrids. They weren't... treated very well.

[ he sighs a little; ]

I was one. Part cat. I could fight in close combat and I had knife skills I don't normally.

[refate]

[


well. he does write it down. (snow will oocly do it later.) ]

I'll - Lalli will probably tell me what happened on their side, if I talk to him about it. Was there anything there that felt like it might have a connection to Wiwaldi? Like how the other trip this week had some sort of connection to Riku. I'm still... not sure what Alph's and mine had in common, or the other one our week.

[ghoststrums]

No, I don't think any of it was related to anything here. It was a set-up for... the last part.

[ ... ]

We had to make two choices. We were separated again, so I don't know what the others chose. The first choice... was related to everything that happened in there. Ichinose-san and I... saved a man that was being experimented on at one of those hybrid facilities. We stopped him from trying to kill himself after the rescue, and he... he became obsessed with her.

We were part of a mercenary group. I-- they'd raised me. In that world. With my-- I had a younger brother, he was, um. It doesn't matter. He was young. We had all the hybrids we rescued with us, too. He paid assassins to come and kill everyone so he could have her to himself.

[ he has to stop there for a second to collect himself and; ]

They threw-- I was on the edge of it so my brother and I survived, but they threw explosives in there. The assassins ran out of explosives, I guess, so they attacked me and that's-- when I lost my eye.

[overlimit]

[rita's brow furrows at the mention of a younger brother...

but she's not going to say anything.]

They stabbed you?

[ghoststrums]

Yeah. They could-- they had abilities that made them faster. I took care of them after that, but. It-- It went in pretty deep, I guess.

[ he has...not... actually looked at it for himself ]

[overlimit]

Maybe there's a way to heal it... I mean, Byleth's arm was reattached, so... --or maybe with vouchers?

[ghoststrums]

Byleth's arm took two coupons for a healing item combined together, mine and Mabel's. We barely had enough magic and items to cover everyone the past two weeks. I don't want to risk someone else when I can-- I can handle it.

[refate]

[ it would be hypocritical of him to tell yamato to do something about himself, because - well, everyone's seen his burns the past couple of weeks. he hasn't done a damn thing to heal them. ]

Winter restocks their first aid kit almost weekly, now. [ kon doesn't look up from where he's writing. ] If you need pain killers when we're meeting like this, we just re-upped them yesterday, so we've got a huge stock of them. I always carry some with me because of my burns.

[ghoststrums]

Yanagiya-san gave me some yesterday. [ he looks down a little, fidgeting ] It'll last me a little while still, at least.

[refate]

[ lil huff, half-amused ]

Being in pain sucks. You don't have to push the limits. [ but he does sit up eventually from his notes, like he's 80 and not 1̸̛̪͔̌6̴̢͆̃   18. ]

But you got bandaged up, before you came back. What happened after you were stabbed?

[ghoststrums]

Time sort of... skipped around. We didn't enact out every single day, but we just knew it passed and what happened in between. So my eye was mostly healed and then when I came back-- it started bleeding again. Everything did.

[ IT WAS VERY ANNOYING. ]

... Anyway, we were hired by the superhero agency since Ichinose-san's stalker was still following her around and he'd become some sort of... supervillain, I don't know. Lalli and Lux were there too. Apparently they'd been there the whole time? We were sent together to another hybrid facility and we...

[ he shakes his head ]

It doesn't matter. In the end we managed to catch that guy-- Rae-- and stop him, and then we were brought to this void, to make some choices. ... One of them was whether to let Rae live or to kill him. He had powers that could purify anything, so there were advantages to keeping him around. But the guy was completely unhinged and dangerous. His death toll was... he didn't have a single remorse, about any of it.

... I don't know what the others picked there.

Then... there was this long text. It asked us if we felt helping people was worth it, despite how hard it could be. I can't remember the exact wording of it. But the idea was... Do you keep helping even if the person you help could make you regret it? Even if you're reviled for it? Even when it's painful?

[ ... ]

I don't know if there was a right or wrong choice, but I don't regret the ones I made. And I think they might have something to do with this place.
