third loop

[cancrymods]

SUPERBIA

On midnight of the fourteenth day, it happens again. Time rewinds itself back to the Executors' starting point, putting them right back at the beginning of the loop. This is now their third time experiencing the events of the two-week Superbia loop and while they've made some good progress on the investigation, they still have a ways to go in bringing it to and end and escaping. Use this log to investigate during this two-week time period and drop a comment down to the Investigation Request subheader if you'd like to explore. If you're continuing or building off of a previous loop's investigation results, please link to it in your comment. If you need a refresher on the loop mechanics, check out this post. Good luck, Executors.

INVESTIGATION REQUESTS

[cancrymods]

[emberserker]

She's bound to turn up something if she keeps investigating. Wolfsbane gets up from her room in the student dorms in the middle of the night and starts sneaking around the halls. Anything out of the ordinary there this time around? Weird signs on the bulletin boards, cursed stairwell graffiti...?

[daughterofthemark]

Well, obvious first step here is to check in on her Three Chosen Trees and see if they're still in the state she left them in.

[etincelledefierte]

After meeting Miss President last loop, Etoile is going to head to the student council’s room. Under the guise of looking for some paperwork for the theatre club, she’s going to look for anything that looks off or shouldn’t be there.

Miss President

[schardynfreude]

Mr. Chiron would be delighted to make her acquaintance better and have a lovely, lively conversation about some of the activities students can involve themselves in! This Has No Chance Of Going Poorly.

[swordofajerk]

Okay so after the butterfly thing last time, Sword is going to go and check the roof again. He wants to see if the butterfly is back, and then start to look for what might have been setting it off.

[crypddyd]

So Lion went kinda ham in the forest last loop- when he returns this loop is his destruction still there or did it return to its previous state?

[ourtomorrow]

Monarch is going to listen carefully to everyone's descriptions of what they've been up to at the meeting and then go exploring any significant area on campus no one has been yet! Covering every inch of ground is important.

No matter how awkward to access the destination ends up being. There is an wurme waiting(?) for him. He is filled with determination.

[alcahest]

ALRIGHT LET'S DO IT

mona will start asking around both students and faculty about the previous student council president, and she'll try to phrase it casually, talking about how the current president works so hard and since mona is new here, what was the previous one like?

she's also going to try showing people the photo etoile shared with them on her phone to ask about the other students in the picture. she'll keep miss president herself out of the picture, only showing the other students

Gym???

[heir_to_ruin]

So... that chain still sliced through (Thanks Chiron) or did that get reset?

ACTIONS TAKEN LAST LOOP

[cancrymods]

[etincelledefierte]

- woke up and joined the team; met Medic, Monarch, Wolfsbane, and Amber
- met with Miss President and got the impression that she’s trying really hard to make everyone happy, but at what cost?

[alchemistake]

-Met Etoile
-Got back his first memory (does this count as an action, idk I'm putting it here anyway)
-Discovered his starter Executor Powers(tm)

[emberserker]

Met the new arrivals, actually went to class, found nothing while investigating the school store, theorized that the gym was closed due to Revenants before we learned that was probably true.

[ourtomorrow]

- Met Etoile
- Remembered an wurme
- Volunteered to help with the festival that Miss President is so excited about
- Received confirmation that the festival is supposed to happen the day the loop resets, & that it's something the whole school is supposed to assist with
- Wound up fixating on Miss President saying she hoped it was "something everyone can look forward to"

[schardynfreude]

-[cocks gun] gym's haunted
-conversing with medic about mmmmmm personal health let's just say
-set up the 'holy shit did everything just reset' meeting last time
-shut the door in miss prez's face it's fine it's cool he was trying to be polite about it

[crypddyd]

-hid in the woods and ate garbage in the middle of the night like a raccoon for a whole week

[heir_to_ruin]

-yeah that whole timeline shrinking bullshit
- occasionally took real food out to the woods to try to coax his feral boyfriend to not eat trash

as you do

tell the class what you found

[schardynfreude]

[All right cool good great everything's looped again, so that's two weeks gone by. How...odd it is, how easy to slip into a rhythm and barely notice.

Chess club at lunch again! Chiron shoots off a notif saying as much. He's brought snacks this time! He may have pilfered them. Shh.]

Phoenix and I took a look inside the gymnasium... Terrible wreck of a place. Looks like something interrupted graduation and tore through whoever was in the way. And the atmosphere is...distressing. Someone up on the stage left of a sort of psychic impression, the awful state of anxiety and fear and bottomless despair...

[touches ground something terrible happened here, basically]

[mementomoritz]

Ooh, is there pneuma? I've been meaning to take more samples! [Medic, honey. Priorities.]

[ourtomorrow]

[ Monarch has brought a chess set this week. He is in the process of setting it up - camouflage? - when Chiron shares his experiences and he fumbles a rook. Clatter.

Excuse him. ]

They'd reached graduation?!

[ And then...a disaster. Which is chilling. But doesn't that imply... ]

So the loop is purposeful. Someone's avoiding...something. In the future.

[ But is it that they don't want to graduate? That they don't want someone else to graduate? That they don't want.....whatever awful thing happened......to occur, and are trying to prevent it?

More information means more possibilities! ]

[discutio]

There was a butterfly of some sort up on the roof. I don't believe we caught it, but...it's a bit difficult to explain.

[But he'd at least make an effort to detail what they saw, vague as it felt.]

[etincelledefierte]

[There’s a blonde peeking in the doorway, a touch of nervousness on her face. It’s only a touch, though.]

Hi. I’m Etoile; I’m new to this whole thing.

[heir_to_ruin]

[Guess who skulks in at the last minute, looking a touch harried and carrying a few sheets of printed library records?

He's hardly left the library at all last loop and looks like he just..... picked up where he left off straight away this morning.]

So... the loops are getting shorter. Whatever they're running from whether they like it or not they're... uh... going to have to face their mistakes eventually.

[Who said anything about facing mistakes? Are you projecting Ruin?]

[daughterofthemark]

Last time, I removed objects from the forest, added new ones, and caused damage to some trees. All of those changes have remained even now that time has reset.
