Look, I cannot think of a bigger warning sign than bad feelings suddenly starting when we go in a specific direction, can we please go back to the school?
[that said, he'll agree if the others want to go towards the tower.]
as they're discussing this, nothing changes in terms of their vibes since they do not yet appear to be moving, but they might catch a flicker of movement near crow - a butterfly with a dark blackish-purplish sheen is fluttering toward him.]
[ Look who sounds super nonchalant even if it's totally not okay. Either way, he's turning right around and heading straight for the school, then! How's that looking O wise Britt? ]
[bradley pulls crow away from the butterfly! it flutters harmlessly in the air for a moment before turning and flying toward him again. it's in hot pursuit!
...
but as they all move away from the tower and to the school, the bad vibes lessen, and then vanish entirely as they get in front of the school building again. once the bad vibes vanish, the butterfly gets bored of the chase and flutters away.
they are now on the street in front of the school. steps lead up to the closed doors. what now, my dudes.]
[the doors are not locked! they swing open almost eagerly to welcome these students(?) into the school's courtyard.
also they'll immediately notice, as they step through the doorway, that the bad vibes are back. they're mild at first, but the further into the courtyard they go, the stronger they become. uh-oh.]
[ ...He wheezes a little, and sighs heavily. Reaching up to adjust the cap on his head. ]
Well, shit. We can't just dick around out there until day falls... if we're gonna have to be stuck here, we might as well get something out of it, right?
[ Fuck. Alright, he's walking in first. How's the hallway looking, and how are we feeling? ]
[you're feeling pretty damn bad, actually! which is to say: as aikawa progresses into the hallway, where he can catch glimpses of some students dutifully at work in their classroom through the windows, his bad feelings get more and more intense.
that'll be the case for the others if they try to catch up to him, too, but if they just stay where they are in the courtyard they don't get any better or worse.
well, they'll also see a blackish-purplish sheened butterfly flutter past them in pursuit of aikawa.]
It's... Somethin' about a Hawkmoth. Prays on your negative emotions and amplifies them. Makes ya feel like the only way you get what ya want is through listenin' to it.
[This is the summary he remembers from twoish weeks ago.]
[he saw her memories, but nothing with this school or the tower in it. either way, he's looking alarmed at the butterfly! and the intensifying feelings.]
Are we sure this isn't... I mean, are we sure we're doing the right thing?
anyway. when he snatches the butterfly out of the air, it seems to be absorbed into his glove. (is he wearing a glove? his icon looks like he's wearing a glove but i can't tell. if he's not wearing a glove it's absorbed into his knife or whatever.) there's a glowing purple light that takes the form of the outline of a butterfly that forms over his face - almost like a mask - and then he'll hear a voice in his head...]
You, there... I am Hawkmoth. You don't want to be trapped in that atrocious daycare forever, do you...? I can give you the power to escape from it, and to bring everyone out of there with you. I'll just need you to do one thing for me in return... bring me the Miraculouses.
[also there's the faint sound of butterfly wings flapping in the distance... hmmm... any of you who are experiencing stronger bad vibes because you got closer better watch out...]

[ He appears to have completely ignored Bradley. ]
Hey, if there's nothing important at the school, we can try again, right...
no subject

no subject
Which means he's reaching out for Crow, tamping down on the bad vibes. Or trying to.
Bradley will try to drag him away from the tower.]
no subject
he's letting himself be pulled though. ]
no subject
Okay, cool. So we're all going back, right...?

If they're already here... Bradley will let go of Crow and start heading up the stairs.]
Might as well explore before we head back.
no subject
anyway. ]
...
[ well crow looks a little less like he has murdereyes right now, so that's good? that's good. ]
Sure. We can figure out a way to avoid the shit out of those butterflies too, if we're going back there.
no subject
Yeah. If we do have to go back, maybe we can at least find something we can use here.
no subject
Those butterflies ring a bell for you?
[ And yeah, Aikawa is gonna give the doors a push here too. Maybe even a knock! ]
no subject

[He steps into the courtyard.
HE CLOSES HIS EYES SO HARD.]
Aight. It's all shit.
no subject
[ hm. ]
What do the butterflies actually do then, if there's a chance we're going to be running into them no matter what?
no subject
Fine. Fine! We can't have good things, I get it.
no subject
Well, shit. We can't just dick around out there until day falls... if we're gonna have to be stuck here, we might as well get something out of it, right?

no subject
So, this Hawkmoth thing is, what. Everywhere? We saw one over by the tower and now here too?
[ -- oh, right. ]
Careful Aikawa, it seems pretty fond of you.
no subject
Wait - are we in Lila's world...?
[he saw her memories, but nothing with this school or the tower in it. either way, he's looking alarmed at the butterfly! and the intensifying feelings.]
Are we sure this isn't... I mean, are we sure we're doing the right thing?
no subject
Alright, so don't listen to them, right...? That's the moral here?
...Dunno what else we're supposed to do here, Rupert. Not a whole lot of options for us.
[ He already sounds audibly unwilling and exhausted by the idea of it, and also these emotions, but.
...
If a butterfly comes too close to him, he'll attempt to snatch it out of the air. ]
no subject
that sure is a choice, aikawa.
anyway. when he snatches the butterfly out of the air, it seems to be absorbed into his glove. (is he wearing a glove? his icon looks like he's wearing a glove but i can't tell. if he's not wearing a glove it's absorbed into his knife or whatever.) there's a glowing purple light that takes the form of the outline of a butterfly that forms over his face - almost like a mask - and then he'll hear a voice in his head...]
