WEEK 5
[ You're doing well! In fact, there's a nice message in your inboxes on Sunday reminding you about your midterm evaluations, and how those will be coming very soon. Make sure you're studying! And, of course, there will be support services on campus to help you cope with the stress. The message almost looks like it should go on and list what those services are, but it cuts off abruptly, and that's that.
Meanwhile, the wall is more ominous than it has been in the past. What felt oppressive last week feels oddly eerie, and if you let yourself stay near too long, it feels oddly comforting and calling. Your freedom is just on the other side of the wall, after all. But that's okay, someone has posted a warning outside all buildings to not go near the wall.
Oh well. At least there are new locations to explore!]

[He grins over at Terra, ignoring whatever pain might be in his leg right now.]
Do you think they added this place just for me?
no subject
I don't think so. They seem to already have this place planned out, they just had this part hidden away until now.
no subject
[There's a little bit of disappointment in his voice.]
Why would they want to train people to be clowns?
no subject
Well, a long while ago, this used to be an actual university where students took actual classes, or at least that's the implication I got from how everything is.
So, I think there were classes where people could take to become not just clowns, but other types of performers too. And these classes helped train them how to use the equipment in this room...or I guess how to use similar equipment elsewhere.
no subject
[He’s not complaining. It’s a little impressive.]
It’s hard to imagine this place as something so mundane, though.
no subject
[ Even Terra finds it impressive, even though right now he wants to punch every single one of the higher ups in the Administration in the face more than a couple of times. ]
I forgot it was even supposed to be a normal place too, but that might be because they've turned this place that's perfect for their twisted experiment.
I don't think they'll ever be able to turn this university back into the way it was before either.
no subject
[If you catch his meaning, Terra.]
no subject
Now, what kind of response do you think Terra's going to have to that? Well, it's-- ]
...We could.
[ It'd also do well in making sure no one uses this place for evil again. ]
no subject
What's the point if we don't go out with a bang? Let's say goodbye to this place with a grand finale!
no subject
I'd honestly like to see the looks on their faces when that does happen.
[ Or if, but he's treating this scenario as if it happened. ]
no subject
Can you imagine? The anger, the despair, the complete shock and awe!
no subject
Yeah, actually, I can.
[ ... ]
If only because I'm sure it's something they wouldn't expect, or come back from easily.
no subject
[Maybe he's more into this for the drama than trying to save people, but the goal is one in the same.]
no subject
...Vengeance would be another good name for it.
[ It'd teach them a lesson to not mess with them--or anyone else again. ]
no subject
[Are you thinking what he's thinking?]
no subject
Okay, maybe. ]
As long as we can find a way to use the things in there without getting ourselves hurt. [ ... ] You might need to walk me through some of that stuff, as a just in case.
no subject
With a remote detonator, you'll have nothing to worry about!
[Except accidentally setting it off prematurely. But that's whatever.]
So it's settled, then! I'll take you under my wing!
no subject
But no, even he's having second thoughts. Maybe this was a mistake. ]
...Remote detonators still sound dangerous. Maybe I didn't give this enough thought.
no subject
no subject
Alright. We're going to need to be careful and do this after we've managed to find a way to really defeat the Administration at their own 'game', but it's still something I'd like to do.
[ There's probably no way this will actually happen, honestly, however Terra was serious about some sort of pay back, so he does think there's at least a fair chance they can achieve it. ]
no subject
[If Gogol's got any say in it, he'll make sure something is done to this place.]
But- it's best we keep this between the two of us for now, I'd think.
no subject
[ ... ]
Yeah, I think so too.
[ Terra doesn't want anyone telling him how stupid the plan is and all the other fun stuff if this got out. ]
no subject
It'll just be our secret!
