[Well, when he sees that Mollymauk is in the cafeteria, he'll go get Beau and sort of walk in, holding on to her shoulder in that way he usually does, and putting the other hand up like he's trying to appease Molly.]
Here we are. I brought Beauregard along. We'll approach you very, very slowly. Beauregard, I beg of you, if you get the urge to start punching someone again, I'll take the blow for our very mistreated tiefling friend.
[she's like, vaguely confused as to why she's being ushered but she's gotten into the habit of just going where caleb does. when she sees molly, and when caleb starts speaking, she immediately gets the most sour look on her face.]
I hope you remember you don't have a shield spell here, Caleb. [she says dryly. a beat.] Hi, Molly.
[so at some point in the afternoon, beau shows up at fall dorm with molly, and wonders if it'd be faster to text caleb or just kick the door until he answers.
she decides on texting - so she does, and then waits, pulling her scarf and coat closer with a sort of thundercloudy look on her face.
[I forgot to do this earlier but he's sending this literal seconds before their phones stop working before trial.]
If you don't mind, if it comes up please pretend you've seen all of my injuries before up close. Beauregard, you know the cause of them and they don't look recent, but given the existence of healing items it is worth the caution.
[Well I assume at some point these three assholes meet back up again, either at someone's dorm or just. Wandering the night! Fuck it. Let's go get murdered.
Molly has his to-go coffee cup, drinking out of it.]
[monday morning, beau sends them both a few pictures, with a message!
the message reads: crow asked viola for information
the pictures are of her notes, in her handwriting. picture one:]
CROW FOUND: a script for a show Wiwaldi Academy: Four Seasons of Drama. With a massive "cancelled" stamped across the front
Talks about the Dorm Wars, the seasonal dorms, references the areas around the academy like The Capital, The City, etc, except they were meant to be named later on. There's a whole load of editorial notes at the bottom as well, from a school plotline being boring and needing more spice, to the cast being too small.
"Four Dorms will open, led by the Chaddiest CHAD, the chatty SALLY, the brooding LUKE, and the overeager VIOLA."
[second picture of beau's handwritten notes:]
"Wiwaldi Academy, a prestigious institution just on the outskirts of ***THE CITY, PUT A REAL NAME FOR THE CITY HERE LATER***, is a thriving institution that prides itself on its long history and grand ideals. Located an equal distance from ***THE CAPITAL, IT’S YOU KNOW THE CAPITAL***, ***THE NORTH??? YEAH THAT’S A DIRECTION COME UP WITH A NAME LATER***, and ***THE ISLANDS*** students come from not all over the country but all across the universe in order to attend."
"A janitor sweeps the fallen autumnal leaves, before being chased off camera by a swarm of bees. ***CONSIDER REPLACING WITH GEESE INSTEAD, BEES MAY BE NEEDED LATER***"
"EDITOR #4 FEEDBACK: What if the principal was a hot bear to appeal to the gays?". So there's that mystery solved.
[in highlighter, ISEKAI??? is written at the top of the second page of notes.]
[At some point early Monday, Beau will get a selfie of Molly, an orange-toned giant eagle, and a pair of light purple boxers with the Spring Dorm insignia and decorated with little deer and arrows - flying like a flag. Taken from the roof of Spring Dorm.]
[Meant to get this out sooner, but I got distracted by prom tags.]
Something happened to Luke today. He was talking to Lalli - about something innocuous, tasks and so on - and then he suddenly grabbed his head like he had a headache. He said he woke up, something wasn't real, and then he said the name Sora. He started talking about something about the first weekend. And then he fainted, and when he woke again he couldn't recall the conversation. He is safe now and doesn't seem hurt.
I had a similar odd encounter with Chad on Monday. We were in the library and I brought up the script. He seemed as though he had a headache and his eyes changed color to red. He was sort of yelling at himself or at something, told me to get away from him, said "You're already failing again. As if I'd lose to something like this!" and turned to me and said "You're on the right path, but you might be getting - "
And then he bonked his head against a bookshelf and woke up, seemed not able to remember what just happened. And was back to his ordinary charming self. Claimed it was a "trick of the light" and he could only go off my word of what happened, which "isn't worth much," and said we could not possibly help him because we can barely help ourselves. This part isn't very relevant, it is just funny.
It all seems to me to add up to confirming the theory that we are dealing with some form of memory modification, and that it is fragile, prone to breaking. We ought to be careful and not try to forcibly jog their memories without a strategy in case we do damage, but it is interesting. Shades of Vokodo, don't you think, Beauregard? Maybe if we stay here long enough we will also be so happy to go to school here.
The first weekend? As in when they were all "sick" and by that I mean apparently all of them shouted or yelled as if attacked and then were suddenly lacking any memory of what happened all at the same time?
[anyway .......... I guess we are dragging Mr. 1 HP back to his dorm and dumping him down in here somewhere. Wherever he wants to go specifically, but like. Somewhere in here so he doesn't get caught out at curfew and have to drag himself back to the dorm. Unless he wanders back out again later that's on him.]
[He will just let himself be steered and not make decisions. He at least is starting to become aware he's being fussed over rather than his typical thing of just pretending he isn't half somewhere else and going along with whatever seems to be happening with the group.
I can't emphasize enough how gross he is there is just so much throat blood, so fall dorm may be getting nasty from this, too.]
Caleb do you have the one voucher I need that Also Tuesday is when the anime night is gonna be, he wants us to purchase from Sally next but if we can't do that he wants us to get Summer dorm to buy from her And he also wants to be a wolf for an hour tomorrow
[CANNOT BELIEVE WE'RE DOING THIS TWO WEEKS IN A ROW anyway just. Eventually between Molly and Caleb they can probably cart Beau back to Winter dorm and dump HER ass on a couch between them. Molly just stands back and sighs and looks her over, and then just digs in his pockets and shoves three vouchers at Caleb?]
[beau just carries both boys to winter dorm once they're somewhat healed, somehow!
and sets them both on a bunkbed that's just like, chilling in the common room of winter dorm. why is this here. who knows. anyway. she puts them both there, and then climbs on the bed and pulls both of them into a hug.]
[Caleb is healed up pretty good, but he's tired. He has bruises starting to appear on his neck and he seems vaguely drunk. But he will accept his group hug from Beau and then a moment later pull away just so he can give a look at Molly.]
[I assume this either after Beau's doing being a lioness or just at the tail end of it, but he does look slightly jealous of her getting to do cool lion things? Seem's neat.]
[she's all wet from being dunked like four times, and also from dimitri shooting her repeatedly with a water gun, so here she is with her alcohol, sprawled out.]
I don't know where you've been, but I don't think the crazy started this week.
