WEEK SEVEN

[lockdownmods]

[Week seven is here. Surely the course is drawing to a close soon? There are more places to explore, and there can't be that much more going on but...

The wall is actually very ominous now, like something has been awakened. The field is almost impossible to be near, that's how oppressive the wall is around it. There are also physical signs of darkness dotting the wall.

Welcome, you're almost near the end.]

.... If you're sure.

[Rantaro... is responsible. Poe thinks he'd say something if he needed to talk to someone.]

So... um... any particular reason you chose to stay on the roof most of today?

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Other than clear his mind? Well... He points at the horizon beyond the fence.]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

Ah.

[He glances over at the horizon.]

It's... rather depressing how there's almost nothing but forest out there.

[whatsmytalentagain]

Hm...

[Scribble, scribble.]

Depressing and suspicious. What kind of big college like this doesn't have a road to civilization?

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

.... I still doubt this is actually a legitimate college.... but you have a very good point Rantaro-san.

[whatsmytalentagain]

Agreed.

[This college is far from normal. That's been clear from the start.]

Think about it. Big high tech area in the middle of nowhere... If the notes Terra had were true, then the whole virus thing must be one more way to keep us trapped.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

There must be a way out and in though. They transported those who were in their... entrance exam here from where they were keeping them.

[He puts a hand to his chin in thought.]

If we can find that way in and out... then that might be our best possible escape route.

[whatsmytalentagain]

[... Nod.]

Can we ask the Entrance Exam folks how they got transported? That might help.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

That's a good idea. We should bring it up at the next meeting.

1/2

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Thumbs up... And also a motion to wait. He's flipping to an earlier page...]

2/2

[whatsmytalentagain]

[... He's tapping at a paragraph he wrote some time ago.]

That video is powerful. Put me in some kind of trance even with the audio muted.

Felt weirdly calm until the video ended. Could be useful to distract the higher ups and run, but still can't let this fall into the wrong hands.

[Poe knows what the context is, right?]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

..... So Mitarai-san left us a potentially powerful weapon then. That's.... actually potentially useful.

[He still thinks Waver shouldn't have died over it, but that's not going to stop him from making use of it.]

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Another nod as he flips back to a clean page.]

I have it on a USB so nobody tries to use it against us. It could be our ticket out of here.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

It absolutely could be if we play our cards right...

[He pauses.]

Who else knows about it?

[whatsmytalentagain]

Matsuno-san. He helped.

[As in, he had him make sure he didn't end up like...]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

I see.

[He nods to himself in thought.]

Is there any password protection on the USB?

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Nodnodnod! He made sure of it!]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

Okay, does anyone other than you know the password? We can't risk you dying and the rest of us being unable to access the file.

[whatsmytalentagain]

[... Good point.]

I'll put it in my will.

[Because it's too risky to write it in the notebook he uses to talk to people.]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

Do that.

[Poe's certainly glad that he brought that up.]

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Thumbs up!]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

....... Hopefully I won't ever have to find and read your will.

[whatsmytalentagain]

.... Mmn...

[He... Slowly nods as he puts his hand down...

Yeah, he'll write it, but he doesn't want to have to actually use it...]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

...... Be careful... alright?

[whatsmytalentagain]

... Mn hm.

[Accompanied with another nod.]
