graveyard

students in time out: 16

It's a little hard to wake up when the melody that drifts into your ears is so comforting that it'd be so much simpler to stay asleep. Maybe everything that you remember last - the cold seeping into your fingertips, the pain of injury, or the darkness creeping into your vision - will just be parts of a bad dream.

But it's not.

When you wake up, it's probably a little disorienting - you have to push off a blanket and rise from this nice comfortable mat on the floor. Seems like you were all curled up for nap time. Literally. The room that you're in has furniture meant for small humans, children as some might call them, and everything is soft and plush to the touch with rounded corners. Blocks with the alphabet etched onto them, coloring books and crayons, and even a rocking horse dot the room to really give it that childish charm. If you can think of a child-safe toy, it's probably in one of the baskets that line the shelves of the room!

Around the room they'll find baby monitors that broadcast the antics of the living. Hopefully that doesn't feel creepy.

There is a yard outside through the glass doors, but it currently seems to be locked - and the glass won't break no matter how hard you try. There's a large pink door that feels enormous, ten times as tall as you, on one side of the room, but there's no way through that either. At the very top, you might see a directory sign that says: TO ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.

Huh.

Well... for now, get comfortable. It looks like you might be here a while.

Nier was in charge of a special power to save people.

You chose a person at the start of the week, and if that person was wrongfully voted in trial, they would be saved.

I think that's why Kainé chose Denji to try and frame for murder—because we chose him that week...

Point as well -- once you knew about it, he couldn't save you. I think he stopped telling people after me, so there may only be a limited number of people who know still alive.

[He tilts his head slightly.]

Why did he tell you?

[NIER? YOUR SAVE POOL?]

Trust? You could ask why he told Byleth, in that sense. Shit like that's a heavy load to carry. Doing it alone sucks.

[Yeah, that's true. It seems strange to narrow down the amount of people you could save, but Crow has a fair point, so he just nods slightly.]

[ there's another reason but that's a level 5 unlock, unfortunately. ]

[WOMP WOMP]

[ bats my paws on pixi. next time. ]

[That would require leveling up to friendship u_u]

[ with someone other than lwj i have no faith with your grumpy boy :pensive: ]

[ crownier ]

[ laughs ]

[she nods!]

Kainé, Sakyou, you, me, Claude, Dimitri, and of course, Nier.

So four of them. I see you had your little murder club all planned out, in line with his ability.

[she shakes her head.]

No.

I never used it to align with his ability. Ever.

...

I'll be honest? That seems like a waste.

[she exhales an amused puff of air.]

I don't make a very good secret killer.

That's probably not a bad thing.

Still, if more rigging had been done and more framing attempted, you might have pulled off a few miracles.

That would have involved telling the others exactly why I was so insistent on it.

"Just trust me" wasn't good enough?

I see.

[Hunh.]

But he remains unaware of your true motives?

[Or is half the school actually in the know and just keeping quiet so that they don't murder more lesbians]

He told me because he trusted me. Kainé, Sakyou, Crow, myself, Claude, and Dimitri all knew about the ability, in various ways. In order to tell Claude and Dimitri, I pretended to be the one with his ability for a while.

None of them knew what I was doing until I confessed at trial, and I never used the saving ability for my benefit.

Mm.

[Again, it seems like an odd choice to him, but it seems to make sense to them, so?? Sure. There's so much information going around right now that he's not lingering too long on it anyway. DO YOUR THING NIER even though we've caught too many murderers this game for it to be super useful fuckin rip]

Should we encourage him to speak with Yamato and Rita?

I think so. They mentioned trying to meet.

Alright. I will do so.
