week one

[facultwist]

Wake up, Rosenblum Hall. Wake up.

Whether you believe the words of the Interim Headmistress and Guidance Counselor or not, the storm refuses to abate, blowing at the windows so hard that often the woods outside are erased from view. Still, the windows offer nary a rattle, the walls do not bend. Within its walls, Rosenblum Hall protects that which it claims as its own.

You're all here for now, right? Might as well get comfy.

The world outside may be away from you, but Rosenblum Hall is here for you. Rosenblum Hall will always be here for you. Unless you decide to die in the snowstorm. No one could blame you.



MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY | SATURDAY

[ okay that’s not a rescue party

But more important than that right now…! ]

Holy crap, are you okay? Someone get her a warm blanket! Something to drink!

[iseedollpeople]

[... She remembers to close the door after her, since everyone seems to be too freaked out right now.]

It was cold. But I still have all my fingers.

[Said without any change in expression. She isn't doing the shivering thing or hugging herself thing or anything, though after a moment she starts stamping the snow off her shoes.]

[hootheart]

[Honestly that's even more worrying! Tiera's already practically flying over to her room, grabbing a blanket off the bed and carrying it downstairs. She's immediately going to try and tuck it around Mei's shoulders, wherever they're all headed.]

[trustheart]

[ Chris nods in thanks to Tiera, sighing in relief. ]

[iseedollpeople]

[She'll let herself be blanketed, raising a hand to keep it over her shoulders. Her everything is ice cold but she was telling the truth! She still has all her fingers.]

Thank you...

[hootheart]

[Tiera simply responds with a worried-sounding trill, gently nudging her in the direction of the fire. She definitely needs an external heat source beyond just a blanket. And maybe to get out of those wet clothes, but right now she can't really communicate that without it being awkward.]

[iseedollpeople]

[The clothes have been a whole production already but she'll start moving towards fire!]

[trustheart]

You’re lucky to be alive!

[ She stares Mei up and down worriedly, looking for any signs of frostbite. ]

You…you can feel all your extremities? Nothing is numb?

[iseedollpeople]

[She raises the free hand that isn't keeping the blanket up to prod at her own face. Now that she's inside there's at least some faint color in it, reddening her cheeks.]

I can't really feel my face.

[...]

But it's fine. I'm pretty good with winter.

[trustheart]

…Well that’s a bit normal, actually. Comes from the windchill. But this was a BLIZZARD! You’re..you’re talking like you were just standing out in some light weather…

[iseedollpeople]

It doesn't feel like I was out there for that long. Maybe I was taking shelter somewhere. That sounds like something I would do.

[Just going to start speculating about herself nbd.]

[trustheart]

…”Maybe”? You don’t remember?

[iseedollpeople]

No. I only remember being back in the dorms.

[She should sound more alarmed about this. She doesn't.]

[trustheart]

That's...that's definitely something to be fucking concerned about!

[iseedollpeople]

Being concerned about it won't do anything. I'm fine now.

[trustheart]

No, but...it's just too bizarre! That's a major question that needs answered!

[iseedollpeople]

... Who would I ask?

[trustheart]

...we could investigate it?
