week four
Wake up, Rosenblum Hall. Wake up.
Five dead now, and the plot continues to thicken.
The game is still on, and just as last week, that seems to mean that all of you have more work to do. There are so many pieces to this puzzle, now, and fitting them together could prove a truly herculean task. Are you up for it?
There's no ceremony to it, but one of the gates in the tunnels has opened, allowing you access to three new buildings. Despite all the time you've likely spent in them, they might be a relief in the little bit of normalcy they provide. The air around them is still, same as the quad, and indeed you could even walk to these buildings from the quad if you didn't want to spend the time in the tunnels.
But no matter what, remember: Rosenblum Hall is here for you. Rosenblum Hall will always be here for you.
SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY
[ ooc: welcome to the third week of rosenblum hall! there are new areas to explore, just make sure you have some specific type of classroom or club room you're going after!
Here you can find activity check, regains, and Isabella's office hours. ]

Investigation
[Later on, she's heading back from the dumbwaiter to the dorms carrying a small pile of items, notably examining the MP3 player as she walks.]
[If she spots you looking closely enough, she'll hold it up for inspection.]
Is this atypically modern for something the dumbwaiter spat out, or have I just been spectacularly unlucky before this?
[Later still, she's exploring the new buildings available to them- she can be found in the Extracurriculars building, in the room marked for meetings of the Minigold Club. She's staring in more than a little despair at a pointedly empty display rack of some kind on one of the walls.]
...of all the times for them to actually follow special requests-
[mah petard, it hoists me]
[how could this happen]
[At some point after that, she's- this doesn't count as snooping, right? They're allowed to investigate, these rooms aren't exactly private- but it definitely kind of feels like snooping as she looks around the Occult Club meeting room, looking for any signs of recent use.]
Investigation
Club rooms are hardly the size of classrooms, but there's definitely been someone in here, from the fact that the computer hasn't been shut down for the break. ]

There's a flash of panicked recognition, her face going a bit pale. But almost immediately she fixes an intense glare on Vanity - something very different from the usual kind of glare she gives her.]
Where did you-?!
[The dumbwaiter? There's no way. There's no way the interim headmistress or whoever is operating that thing could have-...]
... Let me see the back.
[Her tone is coldly demanding. If it's really hers, it should have her name etched on it on the back side. Otherwise, someone copied her customizations perfectly. She wouldn't put that past the headmistress, but how would she know...?]

Couldn't go back to sleep, going to see if there's anything new again. - Hawke
PS Enjoy the coffee.
[As luck
and a lack of other places to bewould have it, Hawke is in the Extracurriculars building when her roommate comes to investigate. She peers around the corner into the minigolf club room, sipping the dregs of her own iced coffee.]Lose something?

Later she's around the humanities specifically, she's looking in the art room.]
Would she get mad at us if we painted the hallways...? Is it even ventilated...
[She's just kind of nosing around a lot of the club rooms. Maybe say hi? Or tell her not to touch your things that she doesn't know belongs to you.]

She lays in her bed for almost an hour, her eyes heavy but sleep deciding to stay far away, before she finally drags into a sitting position and drags an exhausted hand down her face.]
Why was it an ogre...? [And how did she know it's called an ogre?]
[Once Hawke has forced herself to get dressed and dropped off most of her items from the dumbwaiter back in A-3, she's venturing to the new buildings in her fancy new red cloak and her not-so-little dog too. The extracurriculars building is what catches her immediate attention and settles into the familiar safety of the archery club room as her quiet place to read over the binder she'd received from the dumbwaiter.
At some point, not long after Varric gets bored and wanders back to the house without her, she packs up her things to head back. The initial plan is to go to the main house, feed Varric, eat something herself and then crawl into bed early with the hopes of getting some type of sleep. But that plan also involves going back through the basement and, without her dog to worry about, why shouldn't she do just a little introductory poking around down here?]

I'm going to sort through Lottie's things after breakfast. I don't want to do it alone.
Doloris
[ she can be found taking breakfast in the cafeteria, having felt the need to get out of the hall. the new passages didn't evade her notice, but... that can wait.
later on, after breakfast, she can be found walking away from the dumbwaiter a couple of times with an armful of things, some of which are... unusual? namely, a cracked star clip, a gently used licca doll, and... a kana arima cd? the standout options are at the top of the pile or in another hand when she's taking her bounty back to B-4, looking them over curiously. ]
Whose Licca is this...? [ she was never really into those kinds of toys, but even she recognizes a licca doll from growing up. the kana cd is also fucking weird, and the clip is... a little concerning, honestly.
when the first of the others arrives, they'll find her staring at misty's backpack with a look of faint confusion. either way, it's time to start figuring out what to do with lottie's stuff.
whenever that work's done, she puts on the red cloak and begins her own exploration, and eventually winding up in the extracurriculars building. first things first, she's going to let habit carry her, heading for the fencing club room and trying to get a first impression of the scene. are there any signs of recent use? ]

MOTIVE - all alone in the moonlight
You know, I realized just now that you can probably hear me wherever you are on campus? Anyway, everyone get to the Lounge.
[ Once everyone has gathered, it’s time once again for the Interim Headmistress to address you. ]
Memory. Before it was what we put in computers or a bad show tune that everyone hates, it was a thing people had! Or so I hear. Memories are enough to make people do absolutely crazy things! Some people would sacrifice their entire future for a comfortable enough memory.
[ She exhales, voice getting a little more serious. ]
I’m not going to pretend to have phenomenal, limitless, Godlike powers, but as you’ve seen, there’s plenty I can do. So this one’s a threat: kill someone this week, or I start taking away memories of your loved ones.
[ There’s a pause, and then: ]
And if you don’t think I can do it, whether it’s supernatural or not, ask yourself: What have you been doing on Saturdays?

...But first they're stopping off by the dumbwaiter to see what stuff they get. Dagr raises an eyebrow at the nail polish in particular; this shade seems like it'd fit a certain someone perfectly...
But after that, it's all business! And by "business" I mean "an investigation in the art rooms". They're specifically going through all of the art supplies and looking through any past projects that were left behind to see if anything stands out. And yes, they will spend all day doing this, going through every single art room here. It makes them feel like they're accomplishing something, anyway.
Feel free to stumble on them there, or perhaps later on when they've finally decided to take a break and have a sketchpad open and are working on something while muttering to themselves...]
"Tell me... for whom do you fight?" [A long moment of pause.] "Hmph! How very glib. And do you believe in Eorzea?"
[Considering they are saying this in an accent, they seem to be mimicking someone instead of making this up. Incidentally, they are trying very hard to sketch that helmet. Results are... mixed. They aren't a bad artist, but clearly they are not experienced in drawing Final Fantasy villain armor.]
Who the hell even says "glib", anyway?

So, she will gather some spare sheets and pillows together and tie them up to form a rudimentary punching bag! Though, as she looks around the entrance hall, she does find herself... pondering.]
Hm... where on earth should I be hanging it, though...?
[...of course, if she sees someone, she'll kind of wave them over.]
Well, if I can hang it, this will be good for stress relief! You want to give it some punching, correct?
[Anyway, she's going to go back to the underground tunnels to investigate since she actually found something last time even if she didn't actually figure out what the hell it meant, so she might as well explore a little and see what has changed.

WEDNESDAY
Investigation
☆ If they tray she brought from the cafeteria to the Rosenblum Hall kitchen is where she left it.
☆ If the gelatin mold she left in the back of the cafeteria refrigerator is still there.
The last of those might involve Kohaku poking around a bit more extensively—counting out the boxes of instant gelatin in the cafeteria kitchen to see if they're back to their full supply, etc.
For the rest of the day, Kohaku can be found in Rosenblum Hall. She largely follows her usual routine, splitting her time between work in the kitchen and her fruitless maintenance of the conservatory's plants. When she isn't in either of those places, though, she can be found in the lounge; she seems entirely occupied with filling the pages of a notebook, the movement of her pen across the paper almost nonstop. Pointedly, she won't allow anyone to see the contents of what she has written; whenever anyone comes close enough to sneak a peek, she flips it shut and sets her pen over its cover.
At other times, she can be found staring down at the screen of her phone. She isn't nearly so circumspect about what she is looking at, now; anyone who looks will find a photo of a girl who looks very similar to Kohaku. At some point, Kohaku muses aloud: ]
Do you think Miss Interim Headmistress will take away just our memories, or will she erase other evidence of them, too...?

However, she does eventually gravitate to the club rooms. She's going to check out the rooms for the falconry and H.O.R.S.E.S. clubs first, see if there's any sign the equipment has been disturbed.]

Investigation incoming...
[Sometime between late morning and early afternoon, anyone wandering around the room block would see the door to room A-5 slightly open.
A peek inside would show Dorothy, dressed at her most casual in little frilled pink shorts, a simple t-shirt with angel wings on the back, and lace-trimmed socks, standing in the middle of the room with her hands on her hips.]
Really, what am I supposed to do with all of this?
[What's visible of the room shows a clear distinction between an area that's neatly organized, and a section that's an absolute mess. Anyone who knows either of the girls well enough would be able to tell that the neater side, with its carefully organized items, is full of Dorothy's belongings. So that means the mess that she's eyeing is...]
Well, I'd better take care of it while she's gone, or I'll never get even a moment's peace in a neat room.
[She hums to herself while she starts to pick up and organize things, oblivious to any audience she may have attracted.]
[Closed to Mariko (and investigation stuff)]
[Later in the day, Dorothy leads Mariko by the hand through the tunnels to the extracurricular building. Offering the younger girl a quick smile over her shoulder, she gives her hand a gentle squeeze.]
How are you feeling? Excited?
It won't be the same as attending a real meeting, of course. But I thought you might enjoy seeing it regardless.
[She'd hoped a little field trip to the Skullbriar meeting rooms would be a fun distraction for Mariko, help keep her mind off of the worst of the terrible things happening. But also, she was honest about her intentions - she knows there's a lot about the school's history and traditions tied up in the society, and she hopes to find some evidence of a way to end the killings and get everyone remaining out safely.]
You don't mind being my second pair of eyes on this, right?

And to her utter surprise, instead, she receives a gift. ]
K-K-K- Kana-chan's...?!!
[ Her squeal of shock and glee, a whole octave higher than her already-high voice, echoes through the halls as she takes the yellow costume into her arms, eyes shining with awe. Literally who fucking cares about any of the rest of that stuff, the flower is thrown aside, the taxidermy bat is left untouched, there is nothing that matters in this moment more than this outfit that had been on Kana's real actual body ohmygodohmygodohmygod ]
C-could it be a recreation...? No... No, it really looks real, ohh, ohh gosh...!
[ Rinne is, for lack of a better word, giddy.
Later, however... Well, her mood's a little more...pensive.
Around late afternoon, Rinne can be found in the occult club meeting room. She sits hunched at a desk quietly sketching something. She isn't a great artist by far, but she's...she's really trying something, it seems, because she's got a bunch of crumpled up papers around her. Each holds the vague visage of a girl with chin-length hair but no features. Sometimes, it's scribbled out.
When she gets frustrated with this, which she will, she folds cranes out of the failed attempts of her drawings that aren't too badly balled up. No longer hunched and focused, Rinne folds with a particularly resigned air to her. ]

But as you enter Satsuki just kind of sighs and rubs her neck.]
Well, hopefully that fools the Interim Headmistress! Take a seat, I have a reason to call you all here today in particular but I'll let other people speak first.
[...Why yes, the anatomical dummy is missing it's head and has for most of the week if you've come in here before. Don't ask questions about that or that Satsuki's backpack is at her feet.]

locked to anthy
she can't let herself be a coward, the way she had been with sayo. when they cross the quad on their route back, doloris dips her head and takes a breath, glancing behind herself to make sure there aren't any stragglers behind them, then with her breath misting in the still winter evening air... she asks a question, banishing her uncertainty, finding some steel. ]
Himemiya-san. [ anthy might be the only person here who she still addresses so distantly. ] What is it about me that upsets you?
[ she's never asked, not really. she's taken it on the chin up to now, used to being othered. but that isn't an option anymore, it stopped being an option after sayo and kanon died, and especially now after last week— ]
