fourth loop

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 fourth time experiencing the events of the two-week Superbia loop. Some of the school's long hidden secrets are starting to come to light... but is it enough to bring them close to breaking the loop once and for all? Only time will tell. 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.

Wolfsbane has had quite enough.

Every single investigation she's done has turned up nothing, so it's time to drag the answers out into the open. In the very early morning, she'll sneak out of the dorms and into the pool area, just enough to burn up her magic meter filling the water with ice shards. Given what happened when she sabotaged the poor Pottery Club, that should be enough of a distraction to confuse the students and faculty out of their routines today.

...she'll check out the area for anything weird while she's here, but she doesn't expect much.

[cancrymods]

And distract them it does! The students are absolutely thrilled at the prospect of an ice-cold pool in this summer heat and the faculty are split between trying to find the prankster who pulled this off and fruitlessly attempting to keep the students from sneaking into the water to enjoy the cold.

The ice will all have melted by noon, but that's enough time for Wolfsbane to get her investigate on.

Where does she start?

[emberserker]

She'll first look for anything around the pool or lockers themselves, but if there's nothing in there, she'll take note of who's moved to the pool (students and faculty alike) and pop into classrooms, milling around unattended desks and lockers. She's paying particular attention to faculty members, but students aren't left out; someone has to know about the principal.

[cancrymods]

Nothing out of place at the pool, apart from all the troublemaking teens dunking themselves in ice water.

Notably, as Wolfsbane looks around, there's just... no trace of the principal anywhere at all. No matter where she looks, they don't show up anywhere. None of the staff mention them and none of the students do either – which is strange because they did at least have opinions on the principal when Monarch was able to ask.

It's like they've just... vanished from everyone's memories.

[emberserker]

That... probably isn't good. And if their prime suspect is gone, then that leaves... the supposed red herring.

Is there still no way into the principal's office? Does it even exist this time around?

[cancrymods]

The principal's office was busted open by Lion in the first loop, so it's accessible! Wolfsbane can investigate it if she likes, but there isn't any new information there to find.

[emberserker]

At this point, no new evidence is new evidence. She'll take that to the next meeting... and she's a little happy with herself, for some reason.

[cancrymods]

Is there anywhere else she plans to investigate or is that it for this loop?

[emberserker]

Well... she might as well check around the soccer field, since she's not going to be setting it on fire.

[cancrymods]

There's nothing weird on the soccer field, unless you count a couple of Specters ditching class to kick around on the field.

When they see Wolfsbane hanging around, though, they call out to her excitedly, inviting her to come and join the game.

[emberserker]

ugh you have to be kidding her why would she ever -- okay fine. Sigh. Let's do this and then never mention it again, to anyone.
