Then I'll probably stay on my best behavior. [please never document him doing anything stupid.]

From the sound of it that's how it went. I lost track a little. [...] At least so far people seem to be leaving your dorm out of it.

[departea]

It seems like it.

[ ... ]

Between you and me, I wouldn't really mind if they got involved somehow. Even if it wasn't some of the meaner stuff. It would give them something to do, you know?

[goalsides]

I think people aren't sure how to treat them right now because it's a sad thing. I want to do something nice for them but I don't know what.

[hm... ]

...how are you after all of this anyway? It's your dorm, too.

[departea]

Oh, I'm just keeping busy! Always looking for things to do.

[ she looks down at the wrap. ]

Hoping they're doing okay.

[goalsides]

[there's a nod.]

If Winter Formal's soon, maybe you could help them get ready for it? Sagihara said you're the one who mentioned it to him when I talked to him yesterday.

[departea]

Yeah! He was curious about what people wore to those kinds of things. He didn't think he'd like suits.

[goalsides]

Considering he's the way he is right now, that doesn't surprise me. [...]

Have you spoken to him before? He's been really into school spirit lately, but that's not the norm. [what is happening to people.]

[departea]

I spoke to him before, yeah. We were mostly concerned about the corn suit...

But is that so? He's not just interested in learning?

[goalsides]

Not having arms is a very concerning issue, you're right. It's not that he's not interested in learning, except it's probably that, too. It's that he's never been to a school and he doesn't even like it usually.

I know we're all still getting to know each other, but some people have been acting kind of weird lately for no real reason.

[departea]

Can you explain how?

It's not that I don't believe you, but I don't see everyone as much as you do.

[goalsides]

No I know. I figured. [it's been long enough he is noticing the dorm heads do not perceive.]

It's like...last week Catra was really into school and school activities, like the debate. She's never been to school either so it was kind of weird? I didn't even notice but she told everybody on Saturday. And now it's Sakyou. During the debate, too, Mandricardo's whole personality was different. He was way more intense than usual.

It's little stuff like that.

[departea]

Huh...

[ she sets the wrap down. ]

I didn't talk to Catra last week before trial. And maybe he was just really into the debate? You were all very uh. Into it.

[goalsides]

[unfortunately that flusters him a little and he chokes on his sandwich a bit.]

It's not like the topics helped. I still don't even get what global warming is. [but he shakes his head.] I don't know if that was it though. Especially since he apologized for it later.

I know it all seems normal but...I just wanted to hear how you guys perceive this kind of stuff. Especially with those papers that showed up.

[departea]

The papers?

[ hm... ]

I'm not really supposed to talk about it. No one bought mine.

[goalsides]

[hm?]

Is that how it works? You guys can't say anything if people haven't bought them from you even if I bought mine off of Chad?

[odd...also, why hasn't anyone bought them from sally. god.]

[departea]

Pretty much. Obviously I can confirm I have it and that I know it's there, but...

Well, whatever. Just know that my opinion is that it's weird.

[goalsides]

[ugggh.]

I'll see if I can find somebody to buy it off of you, and if not then maybe I'll just buy it again myself so you can talk about it.

But that's what I wanted to know. It's really weird, isn't it? I've been reading them and talking to people but nobody can come to any other conclusion than the straightforward answer.

I guess I'm just more curious why it showed up on your list of stuff you can sell us. Chad told me about that.

[departea]

No idea, really. I mean, in general it just showing up isn't that out there. We just notices on price changes and the like all the time. Even the auction was something that just popped up.

It's just... the content. That's strange.

[goalsides]

And because those items just showed up that's why we have to buy them ourselves instead of just figuring out how to earn them. I guess it's just a little weird. The timing, I mean.

[...]

You saw the marquee, didn't you? Did it ever used to work before now?

[departea]

Oh, it worked fine last year. It did school announcements and things, like sports games scores. I figured it just broke.

[ their shitty it department ]

[goalsides]

It feels like everything on this campus is broken somehow. [sigh.] So who would I talk to about the messages being broadcasted? Any ideas?

[departea]

I would think... whoever does the school announcements?

[ this is clearly the face of someone who never bothered to pay attention to those things ]

[goalsides]

[she's fair and valid.]

If it's working now we'll probably see more announcements later. Maybe a few that're less foreboding considering what the papers say?

[departea]

Well, the keysmash was odd.

[ just. why. ]

[goalsides]

I thought it was the bear, but the rest of the sentence was pretty clear before that. So maybe something else? You'd think if it was meant for the whole school to see there wouldn't be a keysmash.
