(ROLE) CULT 5.0
cult.
On Monday at 10 PM, Otome, Luxanna, Dimitri, and Manwol receive an encrypted e-mail.
No one is in the halls as they creep to the abandoned classroom circled on the map. The normally locked door opens, revealing the room inside.
There are no windows and the lights are off, leaving the room cast in near darkness. Only a handful of candles, in what's probably a fire hazard, keep it illuminated; the fog being emitted from a personal fog machine doesn't help with visibility. What was once the teacher's desk has been pushed to the center of the room, with chairs seated around it. For some reason, there are cat decorations everywhere, mixed in with various (garish) occult items and patterns.
As of Week 3, a lamp has been added to the room to give it some light.
There is a cat-shaped bulletin board hanging on the wall, which reads:
As of Week 3, more notes have been added.

There is a cat-shaped bulletin board hanging on the wall, which reads:
» This world is trying to assimilate all of you, who started this year, into its setting. If it succeeds, you'll remain trapped in this school, your souls drained until you cease to exist.
» Each week, this place will make active efforts on a few select students. Once the weekend hits, they'll all be beyond saving. However, if any one of them is killed before then, they'll all be freed from the link, at least for the remainder of the week.
» Death isn't necessarily permanent. Those who died can potentially be saved. However, no such option exists for the fully assimilated.
» At the start of the week you'll be informed if you may recruit one person to join the cult. Provide a list of 4-8 people you want to recruit and you'll be told which one of them is approved. If you extend an invitation and they accept, they will join the cult the following week.
» Preventing the assimilation aside, even the original cult was meant to be a secret, so it's important that word doesn't spread. If anyone else learns about your involvement in the cult or your task, whether from your mouth or another's, this world may enact consequences. No guarantee on who they might affect, so it's up to you to decide if risking harm upon another is worth it.
As of Week 3, more notes have been added.
A summary of what the others were told previously:
» This world is forced to act according to an internal logic. It isn't always aware of everything going on, and it can't break whatever rules it wishes. This would presumably be why you all arrived here with your minds intact, rather than already assimilated; it's possible that this defence mechanism has manifested in other ways as well, to try and correct things to how they should be.

Please remember this is one of my housemates.
[ he's not going to argue to save winter when they've all suffered losses, but leo is still a very young man and in the same house as him, so he's clearly not happy. ]

We're not going to brutally kill him. I just don't want to get caught off-guard.
[leo absolutely seems like the type to go 'YEET' mid-talk and then just stab manwol and luxanna]

The assimilation process may kick in, and regardless of what Leo wants, he may try to run or fight you anyway. Or he may shoot at Luxanna on sight and leave you no options.
The point is... do what you can. The least we can give them is the truth, if they will listen.

...What if I hide while you explain?

My point is that he won't want to hear it from me.

I just want us to be prepared for that.

Before we tell him that we're there to kill him.

When we first arrived, I hid that I was a mage. This led to conversations about magic being... Dishonest, on my part. I left a bad impression on him.
