WEEK 3

[lockdownmods]

 [ Week 3 rolls around the corner-- with all the loss of joy after the trial. Can you keep up hope after everything that's happened? On top of that... it would seem that that whatever has effected your memories here-- it's beginning to wear away.

You're not stuck in the same place forever. Ssssort of, anyway. The stairs in the main building appear to have been uplocked and now... now you have access to a whole new floor of rooms. At least that's something!

Welcome to week three of the semester.]

So's people being convinced to commit murder indiscriminately.

[ososoi]

That's not the point! [ Please don't remind him... ] Messing with that wall is a fuckin' deathwish! Why would ya do that?!

[covertizer]

Because if we figure out a way to make it through whatever's behind that wall, we can leave.

[ososoi]

[ Oso would be more on board with a plan to escape if it didn't involve that fucking wall. ]

So you and Edgar-kun decided to throw a frog over the wall. Great plan there. Surprised it didn't work out. [ Oso why are you being so sarcastic all of a sudden ]

[covertizer]

Poe-san had an idea and went with it.

[ Don't even start with him, Osomatsu. ]

It didn't work. And now we know a little more about what to do, and avoid. [ He really has to bite his tongue not to push this a little too far. Pointedly ask Osomatsu what he did today.

It'd be satisfying to say it out loud, to take a dig... but only for a moment. So he keeps it locked down, and not out in the open. ]

[ososoi]

Good! Because it was a stupid idea!

[covertizer]

If it'd worked, we might understand more about how whatever it is going on out there works. That's what he was going for.

[ososoi]

[ Again, Oso would be more on board, but that wall... ]

But anything involving the wall is still a bad fuckin' idea! Have ya even been through 'hijacking'?! It's not a good time!

[covertizer]

I'm not assuming it's anything good. But you know what else isn't a good time?

Murder.

[ososoi]

I know. [ Osomatsu's hands tighten into fists. ] You don't have to keep reminding me.

But I don't wanna talk about murder. What I'm talking about is the fucking wall and why you should keep away from it!

[covertizer]

We're not going to be able to go near it now anyway, if Han puts that rule into place.

[ He sighs. ]

Just because you don't want to talk about it doesn't mean it isn't happening. Are you just going to sit here each week and hope you don't get targeted until the administration decide they've done enough "experimenting"?

[ososoi]

...The fuck's that supposed to mean? I-I'm not gonna die.

[covertizer]

I hope not.

[ He takes a deep breath. ]

I've lost three people now, from the first time around, who made some kind of impact on me. I'd rather not lose more, or ... any more of us at all.

[ososoi]

[ Oso's anger gradually dissipates and gets replaced with exhaustion. ] R-Right...

[ All of a sudden, a wash of paranoia overcomes him. What if something happens to Akira? Or Rebecca? Or Hank? Or Maya? Or-- ]

...I keep forgetting you've been through that before.

[covertizer]

Mm.

[ He sighs. ]

It feels like longer ago that it was, but... already this has gone on longer than the entrance exam. There's way more chances for things to go wrong.

[ososoi]

...God, I hope not.

[ It's already been a lot. So Oso really doesn't want things to become any more worse than they already are. But they probably will. ]

[covertizer]

I hope not too. It... it's not worth it, losing people like this.
