 BREAKFAST CULT: NOTHING IS EVER SIMPLE Saturdays on Occultar Island are free days for the students to do whatever -- often study or work on pet projects, but there's a wood to wander in, a mountain to climb, beaches to lie on, and Ashton Junction with its variety of medium-town wonders. Except at about 8 this morning the message went out across the screens and loudspeakers. The following students are expected to report to detention immediately:  No explanation as to why, but behind the carefully neutral language of the school's official communications you can all hear the icy tones of the Headmaster that will brook no disobedience. Detention Classroom  Aspects: Everyone Gets A Desk; Post It, Ward It; The Headmaster Is Watching; A Great View of What You Could Be Doing At least he picked a good room -- a classroom on the third floor of the library building, sun streaming in through the windows, A/C humming quietly in the background. The Headmaster himself waits patiently behind the teacher's desk, standing like he's carved from stone.  Aspects: The Headmaster Of Occultar Academy; Keeper Of Occult Secrets; ??; ??; ?? Only once everyone is present does he move, to close the door. Without speaking, he takes up a chalk and writes one word on the blackboard: DETENTION Then he turns to you all. A fractional 'V' to his eyebrows turns his normal impassive mask of a face into an aggravated mask of a face. "I'll make this brief. Last night someone trespassed into the Forbidden Sections and... stole something. I don't know exactly who did it yet, but I am certain it was one of the ten of you. Since there is a certain urgency to this matter I'm afraid I can't spare the time to go through the full formalities so you will be confined here for the duration of the day, or until I discern the true culprit, or until one of you confesses." He looks around, hoping one of you will own up. No one does. "Well. So it goes. You shall remain here for the next--” he glances at the wall clock “--eight hours and fifty-four minutes. I apologise to those of you who are innocent; we shall deal with that later. For now... stay put and make no trouble. I'll return at noon with food." He withdraws a marker and a pack of Post-Its from his jacket pocket, then scrawls something on the top note. Still managing to seem immobile even as he sweeps out of the room, he closes the door behind him. A slap sounds as he sticks the note to the outside of the door and you feel the faint whub of sorcery taking hold. That's one of his tricks. Wards -- big wards, the kind you’d seal Godzilla behind -- on post-it notes. You have no idea how he does it. But now it’s just the ten of you. You don’t know who did it, what it was they did, or why the Headmaster has rounded up the rest of you, but you might as well start looking for answers. Not like you’ve got anything else to do.  Please post your character sheets for quick reference later. Rolls can be done in #persona using the !roll function if you have witnesses OR by rolling Fudge dice in Orokos if you don't want to IRC it up. I don’t IRC and I won’t be checking up on you, though, so you’re pretty much on trust. It's up to you how to proceed -- you've been thrown in the deep end with little starting information on purpose. Feel free to split up. OOC Thread

But then she smiles a lot for a surly teenager. There she is, uniform neatly pressed, hair combed, teeth brushed, not hungover. It's disgusting. "So," she says as soon as the Headmaster's gone. A conspiratorial note creeps into her voice.

Rin Tanaka Oh dear here we go again. Rin was listening listlessly to the accusations of occult tome theft right up until '-eight hours and fifty-four minutes'. "Aww what all day?" But it was too late, the principle had already left and so Rin was stuck in magic detention, in magic school for unknown magic crimes. And it wasn't even as if he had even left his room last night, he had witnesses and everything. A voice cuts through the self-pity, it's Sharon. "Well right now I'm stuck in detention because someone is playing magical silly buggers and I got caught up in it. Again." He* leaned back on his seat, these chairs really weren't that much comfortable to sit in for 30 minutes let alone a whole 8 hours and 45 minutes. "Remember that time someone tried growing a man eating space plant in the greenhouse? That was mess I got caught up in too. And that time someone mutated the class pet into a hulking beast and it fled into the forest. And that time everyone got horribly ill from eating bad seafood." He thought about the last one, it wasn't exactly dangerously occult but it was pretty gross all the same. "Although I had the chicken that time so it wasn't my problem."  *Can't quite determine a gender here hoss, and the backstory is written in gender neutral pronouns. I'm leaning towards Girl right now but could be a boy. TheNabster fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Sep 6, 2016 |

Isaac Carver A sharp laugh erupts from the desk behind Rin. Isaac is sitting there, arms crossed, elbows resting relaxedly on his desk, face distorted in a big grin. "Oh man, I remember the class pet one! It was a chinchilla before the transformation, right? It was hard to tell after that, between the giant crab claw and the bloodshot eye that projected one's worst fear." He trails off, still snickering at the memory of even the most stuck up teachers screaming and hollering as the tried to confine the mutated abomination to the corridor just outside the class it escaped from. He refocuses quickly on the present. "Wait, you said that you got caught up in all of these?" He produces a thumbs up. "Nice, man! I was so bummed out that I missed the man-eating plant. Did it really eat the coach?"

Rin Tanaka "Eeeeyup, and the entire cheerleader squad. But in fairness, they were rescued before they got digested. The only thing that dissolved were their clothes, and also their pride after that. And who can blame them really?" He turns in his seat to the girl on his right, "How about you Alice? I didn't expect to see you here too."

Teresa Mai Kurita-Steiner Teresa is clearly not pleased. Even more so that usual, in fact. She managed to avoid snapping before now more due to shock than anything else, but that's passed. "Who does he think he is?!" She stands up, clearly furious. "He can't keep us locked in here like some petty lowlifes because he has unfounded suspicions! I won't sit still for it, and neither should the rest of you!" She stalks over to the door and tries it, then bangs on it with her fist when she finds it locked. Then she turns and walks back across the room to the window to try that.

 "I don't have any rhymes, I don't have my rhymebook-", Alice mumbles in front of the mic, as the crowd grows more furious, threaten. "I'm sorry, I don't have any ill beats, I'm sorry-", she says as things are thrown at her, but don't seem to impact as the crowd starts chortling more monstrously. "I have a tiny guitar-", she tries, but she quickly realizes she doesn't know how to play the tiny guitar, and so she tries to shield herself with it, but it's too tiny for that- Having managed to be face-down for a good little while so far, Alice suddenly bolts upright. "No, don't hurt the... guitar...", she mumbles with wide eyes, and turns to Rin almost mechanically. There seems to be a moment as she processes the light, rubbing her eyes, and then answers. "I was told to come here? But I was early, so to just took a nap, and... stolen?" All the words passing by her sleeping ears seem to have been caught in a bit of a pile-up in her brain. "Is this about the pen? I didn't mean to take it, we just just passing around the attendance sheet, and I forgot to pass it along... um..." Her eyes follow Teresa for a moment as the taller girl paces. ".. I think I lost it, though." Turning back to Rin, she concludes, "Wait, he said something about... the Forbidden Section? I sleepwalked there once, that's how I got here last time, but.. um... I can't sleepsteal." pre:Alice McCay-Carter

When Teresa bangs on the door it's like banging on concrete -- it's completely immobile. You'd be better off trying to knock the wall down around it. Or opening the windows, as it turns out, which slide upwards easily when she tugs on them, letting in a welcome breeze. Outside there's a drop of about thirty feet to the ground, although the faux-classical facade of the library offers some good hand-holds for climbing. If that's your sort of thing. Gai Iwata  Aspects: Wannabe Ace; Rock and Roll!; Only Cares About His Hair "Y-yeah!" Gai leaps to his feet. He pauses to flick a comb out of his pocket and touch up the edges of his cool pompadour. "gently caress the Headmaster!" He follows Teresa to the window and looks out. "Uh... anybody got a rope?" Addison Waite  Aspects: Telepathic Star Athlete; Basketball Team Captain; Brash and Hot-Headed "And why are you two in such a hurry to leave?" Addison snaps. "Something to hide?" "B-but... he's the Man," Gai protests, waving vaguely in the direction of wherever the Headmaster went. Chet 'The Toaster' Wilson  Aspects: Self-Described Star Footballsman; Arm Like A Cannon; Poster Boy "I think you'll find that I'm the man," quips Chet with a suitably cheesy grin. Then his face falls. "Aw, but I don't want to be stuck in here -- we've got a big game against Miskatonic this afternoon and they're going to need me." "Well if we get a confession," Addison says, still giving Teresa and Gai the hairy eyeball, "we could be out of here right now."

"Love?", Alice echoes to Sharon. "I don't know if I can commit to that, I mean, I like music, sure, but that's just... you know..." , she adds, poking her fingers together. She looks to the others, shifting subjects. "Well, we could have everybody empty their packs and pockets, and if there's anything stolen in them, that solves that, right?" A pause. "Unless they stole it from someplace else, I guess." Folding her arms, she seems to be giving that a good hard think.

Let's be real, it's not like we can expect the scoundrel to confess out of the goodness of their heart, because that'd mean facing..." Suddenly he jumps up his desk and puts his cellphone right under his face; the lights in the room seem to diminish suddenly as his face is illuminated by the greenish glow of the occultech device. "...the WRATH of the HEADMASTER!" Stock lighting sounds comes out of the device as the lights slowly turn to normal. Isaac steps down. "Anyway, since no one is going to fess up anyway, I suggest we avoid going at each other's throat all the while. He can't keep us in here forever... probably.

Teresa Mai Kurita-Steiner Teresa gives Gai a withering look. "Why are you standing near me." She brushes by him as she goes to the front of the room, putting her hands on her hips as she addresses the group. "Isaac may be annoying but he's right. No one is going to confess - I'm certainly not, since I didn't do it," Teresa gives Addison a hard look, "And knowing the Headmaster, if he can't figure it out he'll just punish all of us to be safe. It's what he's doing now, after all! So the only way for us to get out of this is to find out what's really happening for ourselves." She turns around and writes everyone's names on the whiteboard. Under her name she writes: Dorm room. "We can start with everyone saying where they were last night. And yes I'm fully aware that I can't prove I was in my dorm right now but if someone says one thing and we find proof otherwise then that will be useful to know."

That is what happened right?" "Yeah," Mary-Susan confirms. "Rin and Mary-Susan's Romcom Night. I live-tweeted the whole thing." You can hear her pronounce the capitals -- it's a chapter heading in the story of her life. She pauses. "Wait, someone stole something from the Forbidden Sections? That's... pretty serious. Are you sure you don't need rescuing?" Side Note: Anyone can check Mary-Susan's Twitter feed and discover that she did, indeed, live-tweet Rin and Mary-Susan's Romcom Night last night. Seems legit! Quickly defending: 4dF+2 -2 ...WOW. Good going Chet. Teresa gets a boost of her choice! Chet grabs for his bag but Teresa was too sly for him. "Hey, give that back!" he shouts, but Teresa's busy going through it. Sure enough, Chet's got his footballsing uniform in there -- but underneath that there's a fancy-looking DSLR camera, a sketch pad, and assorted art supplies. Riffling through the sketch pad shows some surprisingly good portraiture in a variety of media, although the subjects are often shown incongruously wearing footballs kit and/or doing footballs things. The last few pages, however, show a variety of sketches of a warped humanoid -- tall and thin with noodle arms and a lopsided face. It's still wearing Occultar footballs gear though.

He keeps going until he gets to the night time photos and enlarges them to get a closer look. 22:05 TheNabster Rin is skimming through the photos to look for stuff, with a Clever +2 Approach 22:05 TheNabster !r 4dF+2 22:05 Krysmbot TheNabster, +--/+2 = 1 Hmmm, imma spend a fate point/hope to invoke Smart but Lazy and turn that into a 3 "Don't see anything weird here myself." He handed the camera back to Chet. "By the way, summer is coming up and I was thinking of taking the plunge and joining a club. Does the Art Club have any space?"

Teresa Mai Kurita-Steiner Teresa goes through the night sky shots a few times. "Did you join the astronomy club too Chet? I don't think these are accidental." "If everyone else would take this situation seriously, then we could make some progress, Carver." Clever (+2): 4dF+2 2 I think that nets a boost, so The Stars Were Right?

Scene Aspects: No Crabs in This Bucket (1 free) Teresa: Woman of Action (boost) Assuming Rin activates Teresa's boost to get a success on his roll... "See, I don't see anything weird either!" he says, as if Rin confirmed something he already suspected. "Rich was going on and on about 'the stars are right' yesterday, but when I asked what he meant he just did that thing he does. You know:" Chet rolls his eyes and heaves an exaggerated sigh, the trademark expression of Richard Upton, artiste. It just looks bizarre on Chet's guileless face, though. "So I thought I'd see what he was talking about." He shrugs. "They're pretty, but... just stars." Gai comes in and peers over Rin's shoulder. "I dunno, man. They're ringing bells with me. Maybe we learned something like it in astrology class?" He frowns. "You could look it up in one of the reference books maybe? We are in the library." Chet takes the camera from Rin and stashes it back in his pack. "You'd have to talk to Carla about joining the club," he says. "And you really can't tell Tavvers about this. She's cool and all, but she's the worst at keeping secrets."

Alice smiles at Chet. "What? That sounds cool!", she replies sincerely. "Anyway, um-" She pokes at her cheek. "- I don't want to say Teresa's right, but what if the Headmaster's wrong and the real culprit pinned it on us? Then they'd be out there ready to make a ruckus... or end the world... or at least the island..." She pokes her fingers together. "If we stick together in groups, though, we can look into this. And if whoever did it is in this room, they can't get away with anything as long as they're not alone." Laughing nervously, she adds, "I mean, as long as we get back here before the end of the day, it's fine, right?" Alien Rope Burn fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Sep 29, 2016 |

Having been silent in a long post on Tumblr about whether malachite is poisonous if exposed to mucus membranes, I look over to Alice. "I don't think we're gonna be doing much looking into things with that sticky note on the door. I mean, unless we got a man outside to bust us out."

Teresa Mai Kurita-Steiner Teresa nods at Alice's words. "Nice to hear at least one of you has the guts to see what we need to do," she says, totally ignoring that Gai was all for it earlier as well. "And as for getting out of here..." Teresa picks up her own bag - a military style satchel that is either actual used surplus or a very expensive designer knockoff distressed to look like it is - and dumps out a long coil of rope, ascender/descenders, and other climbing gear. "We just need a solid anchor." Using my BattleTech stunt and declaring the boost Rappelling Gear. Comrade Gorbash fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Sep 17, 2016 |
