[...reference secured.]

Yeah, wait, doesn't that school have four houses or whatever too? I've never read the books or anything.

[i'm making the decision that digimon has harry potter but not pokemon it's fine.]

I just watched the films.

[ sally doesn't read ]

But pretty much, yes. They get points for participating and things, and at the end of the school year, whichever house has the most points wins.

[there's a long pause.]

But doesn't the end of the year usually get interrupted by that wizard that doesn't have a nose?

Oh... I guess that does happen, yes.

Well! At least we all have noses.

For now...[suspiciously glaring at the table.] But you get my point. There was always something bad waiting for them at the end. Not the greatest example.

But... it always worked out! Yeah?

I'm just gonna have to take your word for it, Sally.

I just think we should always aim for a happy ending, even if it's something you have to create on your own.

[...he leans back in his chair.]

What would be your ideal happy ending? Not even for this school year, but in general. I guess.

For...

[ she pauses, thinking about it. ]

Everyone to be safe, wherever they go.

[...there's a nod because he can agree with that, at least.]

How can we keep people safer here? Any ideas?

Well, that's a difficult question, since we don't know what exactly is going on during Thursdays... my dorm has talked about setting up traps within the dorm itself, but if people are being brought outside, then that won't really do much, would it?

A killer returning to their own dorm would know how the traps were set up.

Rita and I had talked about trying to block our door from locking when I was in spring, but nothing worked. That's a problem though. The only thing would be setting a trap without telling anybody else, but then you have the problem that you might trap somebody who's trying to escape.

It's the way people are being taken out that bothers me more than people getting in, actually.

Well, that or it turns out that you decide to make a trap with someone, but the other person ends up being a killer.

[ it's basically impossible to predict. ]

Mm, I heard that people said they're just outside suddenly?

Yeah. And yeah, it's weird...I've been trying to understand how so that we can help avoid it, but so far we've been catching it way too late. You'd think being locked inside would mean actually being locked inside.

There has to be a reason behind it, right?

Especially if they're not getting attacked.

It's random right now, but you're right. There's probably a reason.

...you guys get knocked out at the same time we do right?

[ she nods her head. ]

Yeah. We couldn't tell the first week because of what happened, but we do.

...wonder why it happens to you guys, too. It's really a campus-wide thing? [he shakes his head.]

There has to be a way around it.

I think the first thing is to figure out what exactly is causing it.

I have a lot of ideas but nothing that I can actually prove or do anything about. We're all just sitting ducks here until whoever's in charge decides to feel sorry for us enough to give us a lead.

Hm, I'm not entirely sure that the info you're getting is because someone is feeling sorry for you.

You're right, but I'm being optimistic right now so I stop being as annoyed.

... very fair and valid.

Least I can do. [but because this is now week 4, he finishes his sandwich.] I should probably get ready for my next class. Thanks for joining me though.
