week zero, monday.

[txt]

[Well.

RNG said "laying on the grass," so I guess that's what happening???? Hope Taichi wasn't enjoying the peace and quiet because suddenly

cannibal Ichinose Labeouf is looming over him. Hello? Are you alive down there?]

[goalsides]

[he's probably alive. like, he seems alive, even if his eyes are closed and he's taking a rest. there's a soccer ball near his backpack? this man truly just threw himself down on the ground to rest in the open, but he does open an eye when a shadow looms over him.]

Oh, hey. Any luck with the vending machines since last time?

[did they exchange names. we don't know.]

[txt]

[A mystery. At least the profiles are out there now, so. Good enough.

She shakes her head, leaning back to let the sun shine down on him again. With a sigh:]

No, I need a toolbox and a new pair of muscles. And I'm short on both.

[goalsides]

Not sure about a toolbox, but you could always ask the lizard guy. He might be able to help. [my favorite is that taichi has not met caiman himself and yet here he is. thank you for the sun.]

Think the dorm leaders could provide us with tools if we asked?

[txt]

Oh? Yes, we're acquainted. That's a wonderful idea!

[Can't believe Taichi just doomed Caiman to hard labor.]

Right, right... There was something about some vouchers, wasn't there?

[goalsides]

Then the hardest part's already taken care of! You've just gotta ask.

[his work here is done.]

But yeah, those. Have you talked to any of the dorm heads about those yet?

[txt]

[thanks taichi "he did nothing" thanks bro]

Not yet, but I plan to. Have you?

[goalsides]

A few of them, yeah. It's about as dumb as I thought since there's still a bunch of mystery qualifications and whatever, but it's not bad to look into. Especially since it sounds like that's the only way to get anything around here.

[txt]

That's the sense I got from yesterday's Q and A. Did you learn something new? Was it more of the same?

[goalsides]

My dorm head told me how to earn some of the vouchers, and also what they can be used for? So that was kind of new and also weird at the same time since they're really set on this place not having any kind of magic or whatever.

[txt]

Our principal is apparently a bear, and yet...! It's super weird how convinced they are, if you ask me.

[goalsides]

The bear's weird, sure, but in comparison to all of us showing up here with what they think is mass-amnesia they probably really do think we're the weird ones here.

[txt]

Fair enough. Still, you'd think they'd believe at least a little bit in magic with that graduation bonus. I mean, it's certainly not science.

[goalsides]

That's not even talking about the pocket dimension the winner of the dorm wars gets to build. What's that all about? Seems pretty big to promise something like that without proof.

[goalsides]

[first of all here is a shitpost and second of all, after the execution taichi's wandering around on campus trying to figure out what to do next. but, of course, he soon comes across ichinose instead and there's a nod of greeting.]

Think maybe now the bear will consider cancelling classes?

[txt]

[slowly nods at that shitpost

but she waves in response to that nod, before shoving her hands in her pockets.]

I get the feeling that if we asked now, he'd still say [BEAR VOICE:] class must go on!

[goalsides]

Yeah, well, unless the classes are Survival 101 or Overthrowing Education 365? I'm not interested. [fucking bear.] They never even said why, did they?

[txt]

[A shake of her head.]

For all the time he spent finger typing, he didn't explain a single thing when it came down to it. If I remember correctly, he was reaaaally shifty every time someone asked why.

[txt]

Exactly! We might be weird in their eyes, buuut... They should put themselves in our shoes, too. Assuming they're not lying that is.

[goalsides]

You think it's that he was hiding something? Or that he really didn't seem to know. He was acting really concerned about things that could hurt other people.

[like the not voting thing, which, what the fuck.]

[txt]

Yes, I do. Saying things like "I do not know, it is mandatory," is pretty weird in itself, right? I mean, if you really don't know anything, would you be that worried about the consequences? Someone just died, but you're the principal. Can you really be that clueless about what goes on in your own school?

[goalsides]

So then the question is how do we figure out if they're even lying or not? I doubt they'd just say so.

[goalsides]

...yeah, kind of. [what? but anyway.] It's one of two things. He knows way more than he's telling us, or he's afraid of things he doesn't know about but has only heard of. He said these rules were in place before he even got here, so...we don't know if that's a lie or the truth, too, since the dorm heads are just as lost.

[txt]

They won't show their faces, so body language is out of the question.

[txt]

[She hums, lightly.]

You know, there's a third option. If there's something bigger and meaner above him, saying the wrong thing means it's open season for bears. [A shrug.] ... Of course, I could be putting too much faith in his acting skills.
