[dormheads]

intern.

On Monday at 8PM, Claude receives an encrypted e-mail.

qtpie85@Wiwaldi.edu

come 2 the library. you're going 2 be busy :)

don't tell anyone or bring anyone!

sally

No one is in the halls as Claude creeps to the Library. As there were no further directions, they will have to walk around in confusion for a while before they find Sally in a secluded corner near the back. In front of her are two teas, and she'll push one towards you when she spots you.

On the table next to the cups, there are a few sheets of paper. On the top one, in purple gel pen ink, there seems to be something written.

INTERN
» You will have special power over the rest of the student body. This will allow you to create rules and obligations that the others will have to follow or face consequences.

» You may choose a rule or obligation that all of the student body will be subject to. A rule will be added to the student handbook, and if broken, the student will be given a punishment. An obligation is an effect that the students will be compelled to do. You can only choose one of the options each week.

» You may choose what day these things are applied. However, for rules, it cannot be added any later than Wednesday, or else it will roll over to the following week.

» You may also choose to give two students their own specific rule or obligation. You can give them either the same one or different ones, but you must choose between the two types.

A dream...?

Nothing that fancy. I just want to make it back home. That's all.

[shaft]

And just be with your friends, I take it?

[departea]

[ if i even still can

but she nods her head. ]

I guess. There isn't much I can do as a ghost. I can't really have like, a life, in the sense that people tend to think of it. But I can have a house, and my tea.

[shaft]

[ That's concerning. ]

So you can drink tea back home?

[departea]

Nope!

[shaft]

[ Tries not to laugh. ]

Just the rhythm of making it then.

[departea]

It's just a very human action. You make your tea, and you sit with it, and you then go about your day.

I don't sleep or anything, so I have a lot of time to waste, and... it's good for a lot of things.

[shaft]

Yeah, I can see your point.

I wonder if I'll be a ghost if I go back to Fódlan. You should give me tips on how to pass the time.

[departea]

... if we get the wishes, you can just wish to not die, I think. I'd prefer it if you survived.

[shaft]

Yeah, I could.

[ He doesn't seem particularly enthused about it though. ]

Though thinking about going back at all makes me... tired. If this was a normal school without murder, I wouldn't mind staying.

[departea]

... maybe you can go somewhere else?

I'd offer my place, but like I said, you wouldn't even be able to see me, and-- hm. Well, there just wouldn't be much point. But there are a lot of other people here you've become friends with.

[shaft]

[ He laughs. ]

Well, if I'm asking to live, and go somewhere, I don't see why I can't tack on the ability to see ghosts as well.

Would you ever want to go to another world?

[departea]

If it's just visiting... yeah. It would be nice.

But I can't leave permanently. There's still too many things I have to take care of, if I can get the chance. And I couldn't leave George and Mitchell behind.

[ if they were able to come WITH her though, that's something else altogether ]

[shaft]

[ Claude is so fascinated by this. Because she simultaneously makes it sound like she lives a cozy relaxing life filled with tea, and also plenty of shenanigans and responsibilities. ]

What do you need to take care of?

[departea]

... stuff...

[ STUFF..... ]

[shaft]

... That seems ominous?

[departea]

It's just a little complicated at the moment, and then I was brought here, so I'm not entirely sure how things will be like when I go back.

[shaft]

Complicated as in dangerous...?

[departea]

Well.

Dooooon't worry about it!

[shaft]

Annie...

That's the kind of answer that makes people worry.

[departea]

Hm... it'll work out.

You should worry about other things.

[shaft]

THat's really not happening now... But you don't have to talk about it if you don't want.

[departea]

No, there's just not much point to it.

Nier mentioned I got exorcised, didn't he? Last Sunday when you were all insulting my love life. I don't know what's going to happen after that.

[shaft]

We weren't insulting...

And oh. You can use your wish to make sure you end up okay, can't you? Would you want... to be human again?

[departea]

[ there is just a long silence from her at the question

before she just laughs, a little awkwardly. ]

What?
