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.

SALLY

[departea]

[ Sally is here to answer any questions. ]

[shaft]

Sally. [ Claude looks tired. ] Having a good week?

[departea]

It's Monday.

[ terrible.

she pushes tea at him. ]

[shaft]

[ He'll accept it. ]

Have you been having... visions?

[departea]

Visions?

[ she tilts her head ]

What do you mean? Are you psychic?

[shaft]

I thought you didn't believe in that kind of thing?

[departea]

What? They're totally real. I had a friend who had her entire relationship predicted by a fortune teller. Literally down to how many toes her future husband would have, which seems like an easy thing to do but... phew.

[ she shakes her head. ]

Thirteen. It was mental.

[shaft]

[ ... ]

...

He had three extra toes?

[departea]

That's the power of love, right? Amazing.

[ toes and all. ]

Anyway, that woman obviously had a gift.

[shaft]

Maybe she was just trying to set her 13 toed friend up with a cute girl.

[departea]

Really? You think people would just lie about that?

[ yes

yes they would ]

[shaft]

[ Sally is the goodest and purest.

Or secretly evil. ]

To help their friends? Sure.

Speaking of which, do you want to go on a date with me?

[departea]

[ can't believe claude invited a girl to his room and then asked her out after. what will his boyfriends think.

but she blinks in surprise, and then nods her head in understanding. ]

Oh. Sure. That'll be fun.

[shaft]

[ stop this ]

My answer is a date with escape routes, by the way. What do you think that means?

[departea]

Well, first, my advice is to never tell a real date that.

[ anyway. ]

But somewhere outside then.

[shaft]

[ He just stares at her for a moment, not quite clueless enough to not realize how carelessly he'd just spoken. ]

That's- no. I mean.

[ ... ]

I wouldn't try to escape if it were a real date with you.

[departea]

[ ...

this is like, weirdly endearing. ]

... right.

But, um. Outside is still a good option. Snow can really set a nice mood, I think.

[shaft]

[ Burying that embarrassment deep inside and moving on... ]

Right. Can it? I'm not really used to the cold.

By the way, if I made an obligation that said—and this is totally unrelated to anything—"forget everything embarrassing about Claude von Riegan", would that work?

[departea]

People will do a lot for warmth.

[ ANYWAY!!!

she tilts her head. ]

Hm, I dunno. That doesn't seem very fun, does it?

[shaft]

Define "fun".

[ He thinks it would be very fun. ]

[departea]

I think that if you really are going to get to know someone, seeing them embarrass themselves is rather critical, isn't it?

[ she does not wait for him to answer, and just keeps talking. ]

It feels a little more... human.

[shaft]

I don't know if I want people to get to know me.

[ Anyway, ]

What did you mean by "people will do a lot for warmth"?
