[and suddenly there is a very ~regal~ presence back in the school. All of the Zombie's raging hunger suddenly ceases along with the majority of their remaining biological functions over all the school intercoms you can hear the King humming Barry White to himself, slightly off key]


I've been feeling fine, Baby~
having sex with my wife for so long~♫
and cuz she felt, like I felt, Baby~
We got it on~♫


Alright, after a night of extremely satisfying and vigorous love-making, I find myself again in possession of the unending patience and unerring judgment to deal with you sad, ungrateful lot. I must say, you've all sunk to a new low this time. I understand as well as anyone that Trickster's tomfoolery can be in poor taste, but a little bad shellfish is no excuse at all to turn what should have been a lovely evening into such an uncouth spectacle. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother doing nice things for you.

In any case, I suppose I'll have to sort all this out. Those of you who have continuing biological functions are to report back to the cafeteria, and the dead may report to the gym for punch and brains.

MEMORIES))

Who: The living
Where: SLT High
When: Morning 70, in the hours just before dawn
What: The dance goes on...

[Suddenly, the power goes out.]

[Everything is very, VERY dark.]

[Somehow, Soldier's equipment still seems to work. He is playing the song Beethoven's Cunt, for no particular reason.]

((THE CAFETERIA

[Once all the still-living blanks enter the cafeteria, the doors seal themselves shut. For now, the zombies cannot get inside, no matter how much they try.

The cafeteria itself has little more than benches and chairs. In the connected kitchen, you'll find various food items and utensils. There is a massive stove top, a huge oven, and a walk-in fridge. There is also a first aid kit and many towels, if you should happen to be bleeding profusely.

There are still many hours until dawn.]

((Okay, the game is at a stopping point for the night! Thread as much as you want, but no zombies until tomorrow! :|b

By the way, though Ophiuchus has been long since sent home, Soldier will be playing all night))

Who: Cepheus and Pyxis
Where: Just outside, and then ELSEWHERE.
When: Day 68, afternoon
What: Who could it beeeeeeeeee now?

[Oddly enough only a few of those who had lost a certain game might now hear a crisp, short tapping at the doors. It might be that it had been so long that you don't even remember the game, but that IS how it usually goes, doesn't it?]

Who: Cepheus~
Where: In their dorms.
When: Day 68, early morning.
What: Missions of the solo variety.

[There is a knocking at Cepheus' door this morning! Three sharp, precise knocks, to be exact.]

Who: Claude, Dilandau, anyone
Where: Cepheus-Lepus common area
When: Day 67, late morning
What: Sparring 8|

* hear the rare sound of clashing metal in the caves? it's probably coming from the two members of Cepheus choosing this fine hour to test out their new toys. With a very harmless and tame sparring session, of course o/ *

Who: Blood, anyone else
Where: DOWN BY THE RIVER
When: Day 67, mid-day
What: Laundry. ANGRY laundry.




Oh, come on. How can blood stain red clothes? Ugh.

[As everyone starts trickling out of the hearts]

How was it? Did you make your mark?

((Feel free to revive as you see fit, everyone! Persona revives to slightly worse condition than you came in; you will come back to life, but you're still kinda sore and maybe you have a sinus infection. Idk. Pick a minor discomfort and roll with it.))

Who: Akito, Kururu, anyone passing through.
Where: The high grounds common area south of Pyxis. Height is awesome.
When: Day 65, Evening
What: Discussing srs business

... So that's what that part means? ... But how does that attach to this?

[Puzzling over another part of the patterns.]

I'd love to know what these scribblings actually said.

Who: Anyone
Where: Where else?
When: Day 66, morning
What: What do you think?

[Today, on black couches, have Ticky, Cloud, Wish, and Othar, sleeping peacefully. Behind them are free-standing doors, and on each of those doors, three hanging scrolls in the following colors:

SLICK
- Lactera
- Cepheus
- Delphinius

CLOUD
- Cygnus
- Lepus
- Hydra

WISH
- Canis
- Pavo
- Orion

OTHAR
- Monoceros
- Pyxis
- Vulpecula]

When we are together, our hearts touch one another... but what if you could touch the heart of another directly? Can you make an impact? Who among you can make the greatest?
