(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.

[ repentless, ignoring kon; ]

I have already. We can count on her to fake her truth punch on one of us if they manage to hone in on us.

[refate]

[ deep breath ]

It's not even - just that. She'll lie for us, and she'll protect us however she can, but she's literally offering to go after Byleth for us.

[arcsplainist]

[ Alphinaud looks genuinely shocked about this. ]

... I confess, I would have not foreseen this offer.

[refate]

... Beau's pretty loyal, when it comes down to it. But she doesn't think a bunch of teens should have to kill somebody, premeditated, like this.

[ me realizing i had this tag and never hit send before sisi and i walked out to look at fireworks ]

[arcsplainist]

"Teens"?

Come now. I cannot speak for how you view your own self, but I am a man grown.

[refate]

You're eighteen, you're a teen in the society that I come from and the one that Beau comes from.

Even with the experiences we've all had well before Wiwaldi - everything that's clear signs that we've all had to grow up and be responsible fast - it doesn't change the fact that a lot of the people here are worried about anyone eighteen and under doing or seeing the things we have.

[arcsplainist]

... I am not terribly keen of the idea of being viewed as a child...

[refate]

Thaaaat is something to take up with the twenty-somethings and up of this place.

[ good luck though on that one until you get your fantasy growth spurt ]

Mabel gets it worse than any of us do, and she's seen some weird shit, even by my standards. Just because of her personality. I'd say count yourself lucky on that.

[overlimit]

[looks at alphinaud, looks at the rest of y'all...

it's nice week so she can't say anything]

[arcsplainist]

...

What? What is it?

[ghoststrums]

[ he's like four feet tall but yamato does not say it ]

[arcsplainist]

[ y'all are so rude ]

[ghoststrums]

Byleth's partner was either Lux or Caleb. There's no way we can ask Beau to go after her.

[ immediate. ]

[refate]

[ he slumps back in his seat despite wincing at his back. ]

Look at us, Yamato - [ kon gestures out at the room, no offense to anyone. ] Three of us are some variety of busted up, and two of us are spellcasters.

... I don't want them to have to do it, either. Not when they've already been through enough, this past week, not when they'd be doing it for us.

[ghoststrums]

I know. I know, but-- just because I think it's more likely to be Lux doesn't clear Caleb until we get the report. And then what?

[refate]

[ there's nothing but a helpless gesture to that, frustration and grim acceptance already in his face - he agrees with yamato. they can't tell beau, if lux's report comes back clean.

they can't ask beau to do this, when they don't know. ]

[ghoststrums]

We're not equipped for it, but we can't...

[refate]

We can't ask her to do it with Caleb when the report won't come back in time. [ groaning, dropping his head back over the top of his chair. ] But someone has to do it, and we don't know if Nier will go through with his original attack, or someone else will get up the nerve for revenge.

... we can ask if she'll do it with one of us, instead, but I don't like that either.

[overlimit]

Well, now I really hope Caleb isn't the accomplice.


How much does Beau know, at this point?

[ghoststrums]

I haven't told her about the Caleb or Lux thing, or anything to do with Yanagiya-san as to not muddle the waters, but the rest of it seemed necessary if we were going to go through with this.

[overlimit]

... As in, she knows all four of our identities?

[ghoststrums]

Yeah. Because if there's any evidence pointing to any one of us, it'd help if she could help steer people a different direction.

[overlimit]

[she fuckin sighs, not looking too happy about that, but knowing there's no point in arguing it right now...]

...

And Taichi? You planning on telling him about all this?

[ghoststrums]

[

calmly sips hot chocolate while looking away and not answering ]

[refate]

[


welp ]

I'm gonna wager that's a no, chief.
