After School Detention (

[KIN'UN]
[You needed an escape.
For a moment– however brief, or however not– you longed to get away. Perhaps you envisioned a vacation upon sunny, beachy shores, palm trees at your back and seagulls floating in the air. Perhaps you envisioned nothing at all, and merely accepted that anywhere but here would do. Either way. . .?
You blink. . . and you wake up slouched on a school desk, arms folded with head resting between. You lift your gaze and realize that you've woken up in the middle of a classroom, seated in one of the. . . uh, very few functional desks that remain. The others have been broken into pieces, with legs and splinters of wood scattered across the floor. Deep claw marks decorate the walls, having gouged the sheetrock with jagged, violent gashes. The window curtains are closed, but they too have been torn and ripped to shreds, with holes showing a dark and unidentifiable landscape beyond the four walls which trap you.
And written on the blackboard, in large, white letters that seem to glow in the midst of the dim room lighting, is a warning]
DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR NAME.
[. . . you are not alone]
[Each and every new arrival awakens dressed in a high school-issued track uniform. The design is up to the players, but each uniform is already color-coded to match the group at large. Somewhere on your body is a new marking: a mysterious floral design shaded the same color as your track uniform. It is glowing very gently. And in your pocket you feel. . . something warm. Further investigation reveals a tiny little omamri, tucked away in your outfit, for safe keeping. Huh! What a nice gift!]
[For now, the front door to the classroom is locked. No matter how hard you try– with physical prowess or otherwise– the door cannot be opened.]
[But hey! You can poke around the area, if you'd like! Maybe get to know your new classmates. . . ? Try not to panic. For now, everything is. . . calm]

Re: [ARRIVAL MINGLING]
Then a dragging noise.
They both seem to stop at one of the corners of the room, where a small form is tucked down, peeking over the edges of a turned over desk.]
Re: [ARRIVAL MINGLING]
Turns to face that desk.]
You may as well make yourself comfortable instead of hiding away. We may be here for a length of time yet.

IMMEDIATELY up on his feet and walking towards that warning on the blackboard. Or just going to nose around this place with a quickness driven by faint alarm.]

The situation's a dire one. Best wake as...
[He had not given true attention to the others here yet, assuming correctly that he would in time as they awoken. But now, glancing at her, she is... blue. And horned? And... what?? What is he looking at?]

haruka straightens slightly from his slump, blinking rapidly. ]
Muu-san? Mahiru-san? Mikoto-san? Fu— [ finally, his eyes fall on the blackboard and it's very large imposing letters, clear enough for even him to understand. ????????????????
he sputters uselessly, even more confused than he was a second ago. ]

[THE JOURNAL]
[You may open it to read what is written inside]
[Alternatively: perhaps you'd prefer to examine the yearbook instead! It includes pictures and brief profiles of everyone on your team only. Isn't it fun to snoop??]
Re: [THE JOURNAL]
Is this information correct? Verify it for me, if you'd be so kind.

[ROUND ONE]
Oh dear. . . you must be so confused. So lost! Such wayward children. . . I would like to help you. I can help you, if you'd give me the chance! Would you not like to go home. . . ? To fall asleep and re-awaken in the comfort of your own bed?
I can help you. Won't you please tell me who you are? Won't you please give me your names?
[The speakers go quiet, and any attempt to address the voice with questions or inquiries will be met with silence. But you have been given a choice]
[Whom do you oblige. . .?]

Re: [ROUND ONE]
Now, then! I’m hardly one to subscribe to suspicion and myth, but I’m willing to make a stark exception in this case — this suspicion being that our names hold some manner of power, enough that we are told to protect them and give them away on the same day.
[And as far as he’s concerned? He’s not doing the latter lmao.]
I suggest that we give away aliases only, so that we can see how our mysterious voice intends to use them, but without the risk of putting ourselves at an immediate disadvantage. And we must be sure to pick something profoundly new, nothing that you might have used in the past, for the sake of consistency.

[ROUND TWO]
[A moment of silence passes. Then the voice speaks up again, thinly veiled disappointment in each word]
Hm. . . I see. Those are not. . . your true names. Oh. . . you were going to lie to me. . .? How cruel. . . how mean!
[And then. . . there is silence. Complete and utter silence. Then the PA system begins to crackle with white noise. It starts off soft, but grows louder with each passing second. The noise scrambles your thoughts. Makes you anxious. Sends your heart thrumming wildly against your ribs as you begin to break out in a cold sweat.]
Ehehe. . . oh. . . so you refuse my assistance, do you. . .? I see. . . I see. I see! I see I see I see I sEE I SEE i sEe i sEE I SEE I SEE I̴̼̜͇͕̦̦̻̅͑̈́̊̑̒͗̍͊̈́̕ͅ ̸̧̪͖͚̳̙̪̦͎̙̩̮̂̍̚͜͝S̷̢̢̢̢͇͕̗̰͍͉̗͚̙̙̲̼̱̓́̍͊͘͝Ȩ̸͙̭̀͑Ḙ̷̢͕̎͂̈́ ̸͕̖̻̳̲̖̻͙̠͛ͅI̸̡̫̗̮̠͈͈̠̗̰̺̓̊̊͝ ̸̡̝͉̟̦̹̫̙̭̫͎̀̆͜ͅS̵̩̤̠̈̋̌͊̊͒̊̒̆̚͘͠E̷͈͍̺͎̹̯̍̽̾̉Ḛ̸̛͉̺̦̤̦͎̞̀̀͂̂̇̉̽͊̔̀̑̍̕ͅ ̶̡̛̮̞̜̹͚̘̮̰̮͕̈́̉͛͝ͅȊ̷̧̡̱̭̥͉̞̣̗͎̩̼̠́͜ ̵̮̅̀͋̽̓S̶̰̳͖̮̯̖̖͍͕̍̂́̇̃͐̉͆̿̿͒̕̚͜͠Ȇ̷͉̅̑E̴̢̘̠̺͕̔̉̓̎̕͜͜ ̴̢̥͓͍̾̂̀̂̿̂͠Ỉ̶̢͕̺̤͕͚̝̐̒̾̏̏̏̚ͅ ̸̡̪͇͚̝̘̝͕̦͇̆̆͒̎̇͒́̆̈́̋S̷̛̝̼̫̫̈́̿͌̑̒̒͊̾̇̈̏̈́͝͝E̴̟̟̫̣̩̩̰̳͎̬̯͕̱̣͛͋̉̃̈́͋̋͛̈́͛̒̈́̕͜E̴̢̨̗̜͍̜̝̥̽̀̀̅̃̋͗̄́̽–
[-- the voice and the white noise suddenly and abruptly stop, just as the lights around you go out, plunging you all into complete and utter blackness]
[They flicker on a second later, now tinted a deep, blood red, painting the entire room in shades of scarlet. Where there was nothing before there are now hundreds of thin. . . strings? Long stretches of wire? They cling to the corners of the room like spiderwebs, and are draped across the desks and blackboard like ominous stringy curtains. Some even dangle from the ceiling, perfectly within reach, if you have the inclination to touch!]
[From some of those wires hang porcelain dolls, strung up by various limbs. . . and sometimes their necks. Each one is dressed in a tattered kimono, and their faces are cracked or– in some cases– outright shattered. Even more dolls are seated against the walls, some positioned upright while others have fallen over.]
[The window curtains have been pulled open. An ominous shadow looms in the distance. A single bell tolls.]
[Something is coming]
[INSTRUCTIONS]
[There are seven places where you may search for the key:
1) Underneath a spaghetti-like pile of string in a corner
2) Inside a cracked doll's face
3) Inside a cubby hole stuffed with shoes
4) Behind a broken wall clock
5) Underneath the teacher's podium
6) Inside the supply closet
7) The dangling strings from the ceiling]
[You may search a total of three times. Characters may poke at places not included in the list above, but they will not find anything of note (though they may find something spooky)! If the key is not found after three attempts. . . well. . .]
[. . . good luck!]
