Superbia Intro Log ... ?

[cancrymods]

SUPERBIA

With the dragon of greed thoroughly slain, the Executors are at last free to escape the sensory hell of the Avaritia Underside and descend to the next Layer. There's still sound and chatter, of course, but compared to where you've been spending all your time until now. Welcome to Superbia. And make yourself comfortable... because now that you've arrived, the stairs that guided you down here have disappeared and you won't be leaving any time soon. Feel free to use this arrival log to chronicle your initial misadventures in the Pride Layer of Purgatory. As noted in the location page, several locations will require further investigation if you'd like to get some information on them, so get investigating! Drop a comment down to the Investigation Request subheader if you'd like to explore. Get out there and have fun! ... is anybody else feeling some deja vu?

[ Partway into the meeting, there's a polite knock at the door. ]

[discutio]

...We're not missing anyone so far as I can hear.

[apart from Lion but he expects Lion to knock a good bit louder.]

[So who the hell is that?]

[schardynfreude]

And at the very least, some of them wouldn't have to knock... [Chiron frowns and does a quick headcount. Oh, but those things are always unreliable these days... Rei? Mona? Probably a safe bet they're here tbh. Sword, Ruin, Lion? At least one of them is definitely not here.

He's the one that set it up, he'll check it out. He moves over to the door and cracks it open so that he's the only tall thing with obnoxious clothing that can be seen through it.]

Ah, my apologies, I'm afraid the room is occupied with a faculty meeting at the moment.

[daughterofthemark]

[trying to peer around him

probably failing]

[cancrymods]

[ Stood on the other side of the door is Miss President who immediately beams at him. Or rather, beams upat him, given that despite being very visibly older, she's maybe two inches taller than Rei??? truly incredible. ]

That's okay! I just saw that a bunch of people went into the chess club and I wanted to check if everything was okay...

[ Still smiling, she tries to peer around him. ]

Usually, the club's so quiet, so it really makes me happy to see it so busy all of a sudden!

[ourtomorrow]

[ In the corner, jaw open: Monarch, who when the knock had resounded through the room had been halfway into saying "I met the President of the Student Coun--" ]

Ah.

[ how did she know

is this his fault ]

[schardynfreude]

[He glances, first down at Veil being...Veil, and then over at Monarch who looks like he's just got a rug pulled out from under him. President of the Student Council, huh? She does strike him as familiar, and her name...her name was...hm. And back to The Prez, all smiles. He does not open the door any wider.]

I admit I've a fondness for the game myself, and it seemed a more casual atmosphere than any of the faculty rooms.

[He feigns a little surprise.] And goodness me, where are my manners! I'm not certain we've gotten properly acquainted with one another; I don't think you're in my class. Chiron, with history. And you...?

[cancrymods]

Oh, I'm just the student council president! You can call me "Miss President" if you like. Everybody does!

[ She says it with such easy cheer, like her conspicuously missing name isn't a point of concern for her in the least. ]

If there's anything you need for the club or your meeting, please let me know! I'm here to help!

[discutio]

[ [x] doubt ]

[schardynfreude]

Oh, there's nothing "just" about anyone. [Said with the kind of look that implies maybe this is a thing that he says? Like a catchphrase? It isn't, obviously, just...Don't Be Suspicious, Don't Be Suspicious]

In any event, so noted! We should be just fine for now, but we'll be sure to keep you in mind, my dear. I'm afraid we've got to get back to it before afternoon sessions start back up or we'll simply be late to our own classes.

[he's just. gonna close the door with a little wave???]

[ourtomorrow]

[ CHIRON-SAN IS THAT A THING YOU CAN DO

this is the power...of faculty ]

[daughterofthemark]

[aw, she didn't get to see her]

[cancrymods]

Ah! Okay! Well if there's anything you– [ Chiron shuts the door in her face... ] – a–anything you need, then just come to the student council room and let me know!

[ There she go... ]

[ourtomorrow]

[ There she go.

In the resulting silence, Monarch finishes his sentence. It seems extra-helpful, now. And he has been trying to be more proactive with his fellow Executors. So here we go! Let's - volunteer information!

aaaaa ]

I...see her again tomorrow.

[schardynfreude]

[should he have done that??? he's a teacher what's she gonna do, tip her hand,

Still he stays at the door for a good bit longer than necessary. That was. hm. an encounter! He turns to Monarch, brow furrowed.] And what are you seeing her for?

[ourtomorrow]

The school festival. She's looking for help.

[ Her timing still has him rattled. Her everything has him rattled, frankly. She is A Lot. ]

We should...maybe....have more than one.....

[schardynfreude]

...I frankly haven't the faintest which I believe more: that she did in fact notice a not overused room was fit to burst with people outside of normal club hours, or that she somehow knew. She was trying to get a good look inside. I doubt that she saw you, so your, hm, cover as it were is still intact. [listen. the fewer people she can clock as Executors, the better. but then, is it the very nature of them all being new that she might clock them all instantly??]

It would probably not be pertinent for a teacher to assist if it's student council business. [...Though forgive him, he's an old man with mmmmmmmuddled at best memories of. school life.] What's the school festival about?

[ourtomorrow]

A general celebration. I think. Something for students to create together.

[ He thinks about what Chiron had said. ]

Does that mean we should bring another student?

[schardynfreude]

If it's for students, then yes, another student would be prudent. Alas, I am old, too old for such frivolities. [He flicks a gloved hand.] It might be prudent to check this out from the angle of a student and the angle of faculty, but one thing at a time, I suppose.

[mementomoritz]

[Medic isn't getting up and moving closer to look at her. At least... not with her eyes.]

[But quietly, carefully, she's reaching out with her other senses, and trying to get a read on Miss President. Anything too detailed is right out... but the simple presence of an Authority against a plain Specter should blaze like a beacon in the night.]

[At least, that's the theory...]

[cancrymods]

[ The sense that Medic gets back is somewhere between a lighthouse blazing at full power and a snake eating its own tail. Power feeding infinitely into itself with no start and no end.

Whether or not it's an Authority is hard to tell off the bat, especially with nothing to compare it to, but it's definitely something. ]
