Honor Society + Whatever-The-Hell-Nier-Is Picnic

[overlimit]

[Sometime on Monday, Nier will get a text informing him that they're having a picnic, as well as the time and place.

When they do get together, somewhere on the campus grounds, there's a large picnic blanket spread out over the grass. There's also a pitcher of iced tea and some cups. Kon and Yamato have been encouraged to bring food.]

Good; everyone's here. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get started.

[tagging is free-for-all, feel free to just make toplevels for different topics or whatever!]

HI NIER

[overlimit]

[rita looks like she's in a good mood today, for once? she's even looking a little more put-together than usual, with a clean summer uniform and her hair neatly combed.]

Guess I'll just get things started with the obvious, but...

Hey, Nier. Glad you could join us. Looks like talking to the dead paid off, after all.

[amain]

Yeah, hey.

[ He guesses it did?? Wowie. ]

Thank you for inviting me.

DEAN'S LIST

[overlimit]

You guys saw the dean's list, right? I'm starting to feel pretty good about that theory I proposed last week.

[rita's just gonna slap down this chart to show.]

Of the six people who've appeared on the dean's list who we know have roles, all of them have their pictures intact. If we eliminate those with torn pictures, as well as those we've already investigated, it narrows the pool down by quite a lot. One of these remaining few might be our mystery role-holder.

There's the matter of the marquee, too. Sounds like the "sleepers and victim are part of the same pool" idea was correct, but... what's the rest of it mean? [mufasa???]

[ghoststrums]

[ for the record he did bring food. probably so did kon. they are suckers? but assume there's a pretty good spread i'm too tired to think of food ]

Thanks for agreeing to join us.

[amain]

It's no problem. Seems stupid not to agree.

[ Thank you for food. ]

I'm not sure how much help I would be, but I'm here.

[amain]

[ oh, he sees. nice to know them thinking three is not a good number so it's just a victim pool is correct. ]

This makes a lot of sense. Mufasa is a name I remember from reading about the movie called "The Lion King?"

[ i will let a modern point out more. ]

Have the "teacher's pets" been identified in public before? I wonder if they are the intended targets.

[ghoststrums]

Mufasa's from a movie about lions. He's the father and he dies, but at the end of the movie he comes as a kind of cloud apparition to talk to his son and tells him to... "remember who you are".

[ considering our amnesias, ]

[ghoststrums]

Just finding you helps. You've been on your own this whole time, right?

[amain]

Yeah, basically. It's been... Something.

[overlimit]

... So it's not just our memories of each other, but they think we could lose ourselves, too...?

[that's some ominous shit.]

The lizard wrote that we should "keep stuff to remember"... [glancing up at nier] Uh, if you wanna see. [she'll show the letter for anyone who wants to see.]

[ghoststrums]

Who's in charge of you? Annie?

[ghoststrums]

Like what happens to the Dorm Heads, maybe? Speaking of-- Riku and Iris both reverted back to Luke and Viola for a time, yesterday.

[amain]

No. It's Riku.

[overlimit]

You confided in a few people before now, right? What kind of rules are there for sharing your role? Obviously, we can't get protected by you now that we know, but... any limitations besides that?

[overlimit]

[... rita nods grimly.]

I heard. Lucretia caught wind of it and stopped us before we could buy the hint from Hugo. It sounded like that was what triggered it.

[ghoststrums]

[ THE TWINS ]

That tracks with Rita and I being with Iris... so I think it's still most likely Yanagiya-san and hers are with Hugo.

[overlimit]

[cool, she hates that.

in fact, it's thought-share week, so you guys can just hear her hating that.]

[ghoststrums]

You might as well buy the hint, because it wasn't that. Riku was Luke the moment I stepped in to talk to him. I didn't notice right away, but he was wearing his stupid baseball jersey.

[ghoststrums]

That doesn't make him any more responsible than the rest of the Dorm Heads. Same with that group.

[overlimit]

... Seriously?

Did we just not notice with Hugo, or was there some other trigger...? [The guy barely talks, anyway...]

[amain]

We can't tell more than what we have now because of that. If people know, whether we put notes in their lockers to vote for someone or something, it might not work. Anything as small as a rumor going around could negate it.

[ safety but also oocly i cannot tell more people ]

The person we choose using the power has to be innocent. Otherwise, that's it.

[overlimit]

I-I know.

[amain]

Annie was still herself when I bought the hint from her, but when Claude talked to her later in the day, she regressed.

[ More accounts! ]

[ghoststrums]

So our only clue right now is trying to figure out if Hugo's changed at all...? At least we know it had nothing to do with points.

[ghoststrums]

It's just a theory. It means we'd need to try and find someone from another dorm that seems close to Annie to find our last one.
