sixth loop

[cancrymods]

SUPERBIA

On midnight of the seventh 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 sixth time experiencing the events of the 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 seven day 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.

ACTIONS TAKEN LAST LOOP

[cancrymods]

[emberserker]

Introduced Genius to Rei to sign her up as an Executor.
Shared with the group that the principal has been forgotten.
Jumped on board with a stupid idea to lure out Miss President and/or the monster that probably got shouted down because it was stupid.

[swordofajerk]

i'm sick of this. if anyone needs me, i'll be confronting this "President" myself

[And...yeah. Sword is fucking done with this. Nothing he's looked at has been useful, this is their sixth go-around with this bullshit, and he is fucking done. The president seems to be in charge; ergo, the president is either the one they're looking for or the one who knows where to find who they're looking for.

So Sword will be stalking through the halls, looking for this brat.]

[mementomoritz]

call me when someone gets injured!
my phone will be on all day

["Don't you mean if-" she does not.]

[daughterofthemark]

Sir Sword what do you mean?
Sir Sword what is your intention?
Sir Sword?

[Veil does not wait for an answer before running out to look for him.]

[swordofajerk]

[At least that won't be hard? The "students" around are avoiding him like the plague, so just follow the trail of terrified first years.]

[daughterofthemark]

[Don't worry, kids, Miss Veil is here to save you! Sorta. Kinda.

OH THERE HE IS] Sir Sword!

[swordofajerk]

If you're here to stop me, I don't care.

[But he will, at least, stop walking long enough so Veil can catch up.]

[daughterofthemark]

I know not what I'd even be stopping you from!

[It won't take long, she's hurrying.]

[swordofajerk]

Then why are you here?

[etincelledefierte]

Wait. You don’t mean you’re going to actually attack her, right?

[emberserker]

[Wolfsbane gets up and ditches class again to pay the art room a visit. But unlike the poor Pottery Club in those first few weeks, she isn't wrecking shop in there. Instead, she's thrown on a paint shirt (you know, the sort of thing nobody actually wants to wear for any purpose other than ruining it instead of your good clothes) and seems to be hard at work mixing paper, glue, and water and moulding them into... some kind of person shape.

She's surprisingly good at it, really.

Which might make it disturbing at night if you notice her sneaking up to the roof of the student dorms with a very familiar-looking paper-mâché figure, setting it in the middle away from any fire hazards, transforming, and promptly setting it ablaze with a small fireball.]

That's the last time I try to be nice and accommodating, you selfish, usurping little demon!

[...yeah, Sword left her on read.]

art room

[mementomoritz]

Wow, that's very realistic! You even got the hair to look right. [Listen, Medic's not here to judge why you're committing incredibly angry acts of paper mache. That's your business and she respects that. She's just here to appreciate your art as a friend.]

[And also to steal the cadmium red, she's doing some chemistry experiments and the science labs here have shockingly few toxic sulfides.]

[emberserker]

[Wolfsbane takes a slow, deep breath and then lets it out before looking over to Medic.]

Ah, Medic. I suppose you've also heard there's been progress made?

[mementomoritz]

Mm-hm! It's good to finally have the Authority's identity confirmed- now that I actually know what an Authority in their own layer feels like to my powers, it should make tracking them down much easier in the future.

[She frowns slightly for a brief moment as she rummages through the cabinet. Have they locked up the more toxic paints again? Rude.]

But the part I'm really curious about is what they said about seeing her memories! Depending on how it works, it could have some fascinating implications! Executors and Authorities seem to be the only cases of someone seeing memories that belonged to someone else, after all.

[emberserker]

So do you suppose it's because we're awake, or because we're special? Regular Eidolons are in short supply to test, of course, given that we recruit them all.

[She looks over at Medic's rummaging, but doesn't say anything.]

[mementomoritz]

Good question! I should ask the next one we find if they want to volunteer for some tests before they become an Executor.

[Ah-ha, there it is. ...They were keeping it on the highest shelf so the younger students couldn't get to it, and she was having trouble finding it because it's too far above her normal line of sight.]

[She's just gonna pull a chair over to stand on and keep talking.]

I guess I could try asking Alice, too, the next time we're back in Invidia- she seemed perfectly lucid, last time we spoke. [Hopefully this will go a lot better than the last time the Invidia Authority worked with Alice on something.]

[emberserker]

Which, of course, would require being able to get out of this place. ...You do still have that Authority, right? I'd suspect she'd have taken it from you, given how it's determined in Invidia, but none of you mentioned feeling any differently.

Roof

[calculated_risk]

...is this how you usually resolve your disputes?

[emberserker]

He's being unreasonable. The real one, of course. The paper-mâché can't do much.

[calculated_risk]

Yeah, I figured that was the case. I mean, it'd be pretty hard for a paper statue to do anything, right? [She laughs just the slightest bit nervously.]

[emberserker]

[That earns a glare, but she quickly turns back to her burning creation.]

I've tried to be nice to him or at the very least tolerate his continued presence, and he acts like it's my fault. He's the one who marched in here late and then acted as if he mattered more than I did.

[calculated_risk]

[She was legitimately worried for a moment that the papier-mache statue would come to life and attack them for some reason. But why would that happen? That's impossible...]

Oh...yeah, I can see how that'd be annoying. If he came in late he should be listening to the people who are more experienced! [She adjusts her glasses dramatically as she says that.]

[emberserker]

Precisely. But all he ever did from the start is complain about how everyone else fights as if he were the only one who knew any better.
