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.

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?

[daughterofthemark]

To find out what your intent is!

[swordofajerk]

To talk to the "president". We know she's important, but no one's talked to her about it. We just keep poking around and getting nowhere, and I'm sick of it.

[daughterofthemark]

[Oh thank the Great Tree he said talk.]

I see. I shall accompany you, then.

[discutio]

[OH GODS OH GODS OH GODS--]

Veil, is that you? Did Sword do anything mad and reckless yet?

[swordofajerk]

--excuse me?

[Yes, he is glaring at Phoenix now. Phoenix can probably feel the affronted judgement in his glare.]

[daughterofthemark]

[Hey Sword. See that figurative bus?]

Not yet!

[How's its underside look?]

[discutio]

Oh, my apologies, I didn't know he was here. Have you?

[not even missing a beat.]

I would appreciate if none of us ran off alone to do anything.

[swordofajerk]

I don't have time for this.

[And off he goes, yet again.]

[etincelledefierte]

Thank you, Phoenix!

[Etoile might be a tiny bit out of breath from having run around trying to find everyone, but the vehemence in her voice is all too clear.]

I think you all need someone who has actually talked to the girl to come along with you before you just gang up on her. That’s not going to accomplish much of anything other than making her defensive.

[daughterofthemark]

All of us greatly appreciate your help, Dame Etoile.

[Yes, Sword, she's including you in that.]

[discutio]

Indeed. I certainly wasn't saying 'don't confront her'; just don't do something this reckless alone.

[if you think he can't keep up with you, sword, you're in for a surprise]

Shall we, then?

[swordofajerk]

I don't care what you do, just don't get in my way.

[So. Yes, they shall. Sword will eventually lead the way to the Student Council room, since obviously that's where she'll be. He at the very least doesn't barge in.

He knocks.]

Open up.

[etincelledefierte]

At least make an attempt not to scare her halfway to a second death?

[daughterofthemark]

In fairness, he did knock.

[cancrymods]

[ and open up she does! when she spots the group standing there, Miss President blinks at them – but then gives one of her trademark brilliant smiles. ]

Oh, hello! Did you need to speak to the student council about something?

[discutio]

Etoile- [astrals, don’t let sword talk] -do we have something to say?

[etincelledefierte]

We just had a couple of things to ask you about, Miss President. I'm sorry if we interrupted in the middle of something important. May we come in?

[daughterofthemark]

[Veil just takes this opportunity to look cute and nonthreatening.]

[swordofajerk]

It's important, so we either do it here or in...my office.

[That's a thing, right? That feels like a thing.]

[cancrymods]

[ she looks a little nervous but... well, it's not like this isn't a situation that calls for it. y'all are kind of ganging up on her a bit. ]

Ah, really? If it's that important, you might as well come in...

[ And she steps back to let them do just that. ]

[daughterofthemark]

[It's fine, look! Veil is offering her a nice friendly smile.]

[discutio]

[God forbid Sword come in throwing hands, so Phoenix calmly adjusted his glasses and spoke up once they were all inside.]

I feel as though there's no need for hostilities--none of us truly wish for this to come to violence- [mostly] -but neither is there any point in all of us playing stupid any longer.

Is that not correct, miss Authority?

[cancrymods]

[ Miss President blinks at him. Her surprise is probably evident to the others - she's been caught off guard. When she speaks up, though, there's just confusion in her voice and she doesn't seem to be playing dumb. ]

Um... I'm happy to help with anything that's troubling you, so long as it's something the student council can do, but I think you might be getting mixed up about something.

What do you mean by "authority"?
