saturday, week zero.

[txt]

[The RNG gods said the common area, so guess that's where they are now. Ichinose wanders in with her hands in her pockets, only lifting one hand to briefly wave at him before she's shoving it right back in.]

Goooooood morning, roomie! What are we up to?

[Someone's in high spirits? Whew.]

[katzepaw]

[He stares at her a little when she comes in in such high spirits. He's sitting in the common room, going through the contents of his pockets and finding them empty. Glancing up at her.]

. . . Guten morgen. Nothing, really. Forgetting I don't have any of my things.

[txt]

Oh? Guten tag!

[Terribly pronounced. But, anyway— She wiggles her hands around from inside her coat pockets.]

Sounds like you're in the same pickle as I am. Someone must have given us a thorough pat down while we were snoozing.

[katzepaw]

[Terribly pronounced enough that he can tell she doesn't really speak Zemnian, but he still smiles to hear the attempt.]

A very thorough pat down. I keep a lot of valuable things in these pockets of mine.

[txt]

[Fantasy German... She nods, crossing her arms.]

Awfully rude of them, right? Not to mention, suuuuuper invasive. I wonder where they stashed all of it...

[katzepaw]

[He definitely has a fantasy German accent, and he speaks with the cadence of someone speaking in their second language, choosing his words a little carefully and pausing sometimes to pick the right phrase.]

I don't imagine somewhere we'll easily stumble onto on our own.

[Sighing.]

So, what do you think? It's me and you two ladies, and then those young children. That part is disconcerting to me.

[txt]

No... If they're playing keep away, they won't let us win that easily.

[Goodbye to their inventory. It's lost to the void for now.]

Besides the obvious? I mean, someone wants us to take part in a "war," and they don't care about the ages or prowess of the people they brought in. Those two kids aren't even the youngest ones I've seen.

[katzepaw]

Maybe they care about the prowess, if some have weapons but there's anti-magic.

[txt]

Anti-magic? I'm not sure I follow.

[katzepaw]

Ah. [Waving his arm.] Some sort of effect turning off magic.

[txt]

Ah, of course... Sounds like a loooot of us come from worlds with magic. I'm starting to feel jealous! Though— ah, maybe that isn't right of me right now?

[katzepaw]

Your world doesn't have anything like that?

[txt]

Nope! Not even close. Can you believe it?

[katzepaw]

I can believe it, but it's hard for me to imagine what it's like.

[txt]

Think of something that's only half as crazy as your world? I bet that's close enough.

[katzepaw]

Without magic, I think even half would be pushing it. But I'm sure there are other things in your world I couldn't understand.

week 1; friday

[katzepaw]

[Later, he's back at the dorm, having made a few rounds, and will stop in the common area.]

. . . It seems we have a pattern?

[txt]

Yep. Same day. Even same general location to boot.

[katzepaw]

Ja. So, maybe we are expected to deal with this every week. Supposedly, no one told Kaoruko to do it, but there must be some reason for it.

[txt]

Did Kaoruko-chan tell you that herself? Or is it word of mouth?

[katzepaw]

She told me herself that at least the Principal and the dorm heads did not tell her to do anything. But she danced around the reasons she did what she did.

[txt]

Oh, yes, she was very vague about that. But if the Principal and dorm heads didn't ask her to do it, what about Extra Credit?

[katzepaw]

That's a thought I hadn't considered. Still, it is a lot to do simply for some vouchers.

[txt]

For vouchers, sure. But don't take your eyes off the grand prize.

[katzepaw]

The wish, upon graduation, you mean?
