week 6
[On Sunday morning, there is a small gift waiting for the early risers in the tower: a dull lead key (don't lick it), dangling from a length of twine tied to the wooden beam across the ceiling at the cross section of the four dorms. Upon further inspection it has a particular symbol on the back half and a note that reads "Good job. Here's your reward". The note is signed Lord H. The key goes to sixth floor, where there is the same symbol etched above the keyhole on the lock.
The new floor is even more grand than the previous ballroom, a full theatre for their enjoyment. But it doesn't take away the burning sting of certain people who would have loved to see it.]

Um... I forget what this one is. Does anybody remember?
[She wanders into the dance studio and curiously puts on the record, so you can find her not dancing at all, just kind of staring as the unfitting music plays. Or, later on, Mei will be down in the potions room looking at all the ingredients but not atually trying to mix anything. Probably because she looks utterly helpless in here.
At least there's a laundry now, so Mei will eventually get into Olive's old Lady Macbeth costume, the only thing that's clean, and drag all her other clothes up to the workshop to wash them. She grumbles at the washboard while the Long Familiar, coiled around a coat hanger to keep her company, babbles on.]
La la la... la la la... Play with me!
Not yet, Mari-chan! I'm trying to get this clean -- wah!
[The bubbles are starting to pour out of the washtub and take over the floor.]
Workshop
[Katsuya sure doesn't have experience with washboards, though...]

He goes upstairs to check out the new floor after that. Walking into the theatre, he almost immediately stops short, bringing a hand to his mouth to muffle a sudden sob.]
Olive...Olive wanted a theatre.
[Towards the evening, he goes to the kitchen. This time, he sticks around - he's cooking the same soup he made several weeks back, but with additional ingredients. He startles a little whenever anyone enters, but relaxes again as long as you aren't Loki.]
I...asked Garfield for some ingredients a few days ago. The stuff we have back home. I don't even know why, I can't make anything like Julieta does...

[ come Sunday, Patchouli has stuck a notice on the wall of the great hall. It reads: ]
In the interest of giving out protection to those who want it, please see me if you would like an item enchanted. I am able to put spells onto objects, though certain spells may require a different material. Please be willing to be flexible on this front. I reserve the right to refuse any requests that seem suspect.
I will be in the tinkerer's room and the workshop this week, as well as the library.

ballroom (closed to Heisenberg)
[ So, she survived. She assumed she would, but his parting words gave her a brief moment of doubt. She tries to shake it away. Patchouli comes to the ballroom at noon as discussed, her hair tied up in a high ponytail and her capelet discarded, one grimoire in her arm and the other floating next to her. ]
...no lethal shots, keep things mid-to-long range, we are not to summon or use any other objects than what we've brought with us. If you have any additional terms, please state them now.

cw weed drug in one of the entrance hall prompts
It's a little too big... Maybe it's somebody else's?
[And then she sees the mysterious hologram player, which she sits and watches all the tapes on, beginning to tear up as she does.
Or, alternatively, you can just notice her light up at the beef-flavoured weed gummies, please stop her from eating the entire bag.]

meeting - outside
At some point on Monday, Felix will go out of his way to distribute these papers, to whoever remains or to some of the others to pass along the word, depending. For ease of reading, they say:
"We meet just outside of the tower." - Duke Fraldarius"
Once people arrive, Felix's arms are crossed, and he looks just as approachable as ever. ]
We're getting started early this week.
Why? Because I said so.
So, let's get it over with. Share whatever you've found and we'll discuss it, or other relevant topics.

Ah, Bianca. You're a little late, güera.
[And then, of course, things get worse!
Bruno shrieks as a whole-ass hawk bursts out of the next box as soon as he opens it. He flails, drops the box and hawk both, and scrabbles to shield Bianca and all of the other assembled rats. Feathers and fur are flying. It is chaos.
Anyway, this may not be quite a yard sard, but feel free to see anything of yours lying around the vicinity!]

By the afternoon he takes a break and if you're outside you can catch him, of all things, at the archery range? Taking shots with the training bows?? And he's... actually really really good??? Wtf...
And in the evening he slips away to the boiler room, reminded of it by Olive's maps. This looks like a good place for the water rune to be hidden, and even if not he's curious how it works... and it's... structural integrity.]

And also Katsuya, looking at it with some doubt, but still giving it the last touches]
This is supposed to be safe for dogs too. That cat salesman said it was just a transmutation spell, but I wonder if it would affect the taste somehow...
[It'd be shameful if he created a horrid cake.
Still, anyone upon trying will find it's pretty great! The right spot of sweetness indeed!
Later, though, Katsuya steps outside. His cat is there, Helios is there. Somehow, little Baofu isn't wary about the Persona, maybe recognizing it's part of Katsuya. Carefully, the detective wills his Persona to pick up his cat, handling her with care]
Let's make you move now...
[Slowly, Helios begins hovering away, towards the treeline. Around the ten meters mark, Katsuya begins to show signs of strain, his Persona fading away a little. Katsuya manages to get Helios to leave the cat on the grass right before the Persona vanished.
Seems like Katsuya is training his focus!]

TUESDAY
MOTIVE - But You're Still With Me in My Dreams
Got another surprise for you. You won't wanna miss it.
[As usual, Heisenberg waits for everyone to assemble in the Great Hall.
...Twelve envelopes, laid out in four rows of three, looks a whole lot smaller than twenty laid out in five rows of four.]
I thought I'd be nice, this week. Give you a little something to remember those you left behind by.
[He gestures with his cigar toward the envelopes on the table, and as the apprentices begin to pick them up, he takes a long draw of smoke and lets it curl out of his mouth and into his whiskers.]
...And also a little taste, of what could happen, if someone doesn't die by the end of the week.
[Inside each envelope is a mirrored card that shows an image of the person or people that each apprentice cares about the most. The image is like a photograph, except it's three-dimensional like looking into a diorama. If you tilt the photo in any direction, however, the image shifts to something much darker.
Instead of showing the person or people as each apprentice remembers them, it shows them... far worse off. Some may be bloodied, others burned, or perhaps absent in a swath of lingering chaos, or even alone, entombed in darkness. It doesn't matter. What matters is the implication: inaction may save you from rule number 4, but it may not save the ones you love.]

investigation
She hits up the training room again, this time moving on to hitting targets with the blunted swords. Or, well, sometimes hitting them. Sometimes missing or grazing. But at least now her sword doesn't go flying out of her hand when she hits something! That's an improvement!
Then it's off to the beach. She's cut up one of her 10-foot poles into firewood enough for a small pile on the sand. She concentrates, shuts her eyes, and casts a basic fire spell to light up the bonfire. It's not much, but it's there! At least until the tide comes in.
But night means investigating, and there's a whole new floor for the taking. Mei will head up to the theatre, climb onto the stage, and wait and watch. She's got Fern's sword at her side just in case, but she's mostly waiting... well, until her mind starts to wander and she looks at her motive card again. And call this a twofer: while she's waiting for the ghosts, since she wouldn't know to look but you and I do: does the motive card look particularly folded, creased, or otherwise reused?]

Eventually he does emerge from there too, to go outside. It doesn't seem like he's setting up a yard sard today - he's just sitting, and throwing a stick for Chiffon until the little cakedog gets tired. Playing, or at least watching Chiffon run around in the bright sunlight, seems to have actually cheered him up a little! He still looks pretty drawn, dark circles prominent under his eyes even now, but he's smiling a little, anyway. Anyone who passes by
and isn't named Lokiwill get a little wave.]You wanna come sit and play fetch? It's kinda relaxing.
[Around dinnertime, he's in the kitchen again. This evening, he seems to be going a little harder than he did on Monday - there's arepas con queso, fried plantains, and some hot chocolate for after!]
It's, uh...it's not really a great meal. [He says in explanation. Or apology.] Pretty much just a lot of comfort foods. The kind of stuff we'd have when we were kids. [...] I wish I knew how to make that one cake Julieta used to do...but hey! I got cheese for the hot chocolate! You know what they say, chocolate sin queso es...well, nevermind, it's just better with the cheese.

You three definitely need to be together... and then over here...
[ he tilts his head a moment ]
Should I include some for Jasper though...?
[ Once they're planted, he's got some smooth rocks he found and is attempting to write on. His writing is messy, as he's still learning how to get that right, but it's still clear if you look closely enough that he's writing on them the names of everyone who's died so far. ]

Felix goes off to the training room immediately to ensure he's up to shape as well as cooling down. But generally he's not exactly doing as bad as he could be, considering, and that is why he doesn't end up pushing himself, and heading off once his routine is over and done with.
Following that, he's going to head to the entrance hall with some of his new haul. He sets himself up relatively quickly, familiar with the routine by now. ]
If something is yours, just take it.
[ Quick and straight to the point as always.
Other than that, he'll head towards the library, taking a look on some books. Probably anything in particular about potions, but otherwise he'll occasionally occupy himself with a tale on adventures. ]

WEDNESDAY
Closed; investigation?
Few enough people he can easily keep hidden for now. He dips into the Tinker's Haven to pick up the item he had hidden under various scrap, wrapped in a towel. He ghosts his way upstairs to a place they've all seen plenty of times now.
The door to the trial room.]
If anything can burst through that barrier... I do hope you can see this from wherever they have you and the others hidden Zenos- I keep my promises.
[He unwraps the bundle, carefully placing it against the barrier that protects the door, running his fingers over it with something like affection. It's a bundle of crystals carefully bound together with wire, shaped perfectly to hold a round glass container full of a softly glowing fluid. The chemical make up was complicated and well practiced by now, and the vial is painted with a spell circle that anyone seeing it would, by now, recognize as the Fodlan school of spellcraft.
He steps back a distance he calculated should be safe, pulling the other item he grabbed on his way over his face- his Dark Mage plague mask. It wouldn't do to accidentally breath in too many shredded crystal shards and chemicals, now would it?
He takes a deep breath, his spell circle forming along his arm and with no hesitation snaps his fingers]

Anyone who comes into the Great Hall will find some food set out on the tables to help refresh everyone and get their strength back up after that. There may also be a couple of bottles of whiskey and some glasses there as well, and there will be absolutely no judgment on his end should anyone want to partake. Baldr himself, meanwhile, can be found in the kitchen throwing together some food in between flitting in and out to go check on Hubert. If he seems a little tired and shaky, it's probably not just your imagination.]

THURSDAY
cw: possible eye gore, very likely self destructive/suicidal talk
Probably not surprising. Magic can do amazing things, but it limited by what the body is already capable of, so even if he his fully healed (but not whole. Never whole again) he is completely drained. But eventually, by midmorning he wakes up in his dorm bed, his remaining eye a bit glazed as he looks around. Blessedly someone likely wrapped the side of his head where the crystal was embedded so the gruseomness of the injury is easy to ignore]
What...
[Once he's been checked over and has had food forced on him (to his complaining and demanding his coffee) he can be found sitting up by afternoon, ready to talk as needed, though it may take a few times to get his attention as he stares at a random point on the wall.
By evening he's up and walking carefully. Thankfully his legs were mostly unharmed, so the issue is more his balance being a bit off from the healed but still aching head injury and his now destroyed depth perception. You might catch him in the bathroom, looking in the mirror and trying to get his fringe to fall on the other side of his face with no real success]

IT'S TIME TO GET SPOOKY
... We'll need Mei most of all, I think. Since she's had success contacting them before. As for me...
[ She hesitates and then gives a grim smile and then taps her head. ]
What's one more loose soul up here?
[ Rather than elaborate on that kind of deeply foreboding little comment?? she turns her attention to the group at large. ]
Who else thinks they can assist?
