ANNOUNCEMENT 010

[intercom_voice]

[The speakers around the school hum to life, but it seems the woman who usually speaks over it isn't meaning to be heard just yet. It's a bit hard to hear what she's mumbling.]

I always forget February is the short month. I should have done this yesterday! Or should I do it on the second...? 28, 29, 30--that would be the 2nd. Tsk, but then I'd have to do every other announcement on the 2nd to make up for it. Maybe I should just leave them to fret for this month.

No...

[When she speak again, her voice is louder and her words are intentional.]

Well now, wasn't that a chilly month, my darlings? Keep up the good work! Don't think I didn't notice that little FAQ board~ More of you should take that young girl as an example!

Help each other, live and learn!

[She abruptly ends the feed.]

Speak to the Voice

[intercom_voice]

[screwmoira]

[So if whoever's keeping them here could talk to them...they could do the same vice versa?

Or well, it's what Elef thinks. This newfangled contraption is gonna take some getting used to.]

Hello, are you still there? If so, I have something I want to ask.

[intercom_voice]

[The intercom pops to life, although the voice on the other end sounds a tad bored and distracted. Is she eating something?]

Hmm? Well, what sort of principal would I be if I didn't engage the curiosity of my students? What did you want to know?

[screwmoira]

...

[The heck were those noises- on second thought, he probably doesn't even want to know.]

It's about your keeping everyone here- what are you planning, and why?

[intercom_voice]

[SIIIIIGH. She rustles some sort of bag.]

Do you know how many times I get asked this? As I've said time and time again, you're all here to learn.

[screwmoira]

[Hella rude, intercom.]

I don't believe it. [frown] You say that, and yet it seems like we're left to fend for ourselves. If the only lesson here is to trap us and entertain you, then I want no part of it.

Just what the hell are you really up to?

[intercom_voice]

Oh, well let me just spill all my secrets to you because you asked.

[The sarcasm is strong within this one. As is the sound of chewing.]

[screwmoira]

[An eye twitch;he can feel that sarcasm and seriously, what is that noise?!]

Don't toy with me, I mean it! [He slams a fist into the wall.] What in your right mind would make you want to keep us in an abhorrent cage?! If you're trying to play god, then you must be really sick-minded!!

[intercom_voice]

[She yawns in response, but at least has the mind to not talk with her mouth full.]

I'm quite healthy actually. Fit as a fiddle! Are you done? Perhaps we should hire a therapist for your anger management issues.

[screwmoira]

[He grits his teeth as his brows furrow and his eyes are narrowed into a hard leer.]

Like hell I'm done! [In an instant, he pulls out his sword and points it at the intercom. A pointless, reactionary act, but it's never stopped him.] We're not your damn play-things, so let us go, or else I'll make you!!

[intercom_voice]

Ohh, you'll make me... That's if you can find me~

[Her end of the feed cuts off.]

[screwmoira]

-!!

[There's one more punch to the wall, before Elef lets loose with what's possibly one of the loudest screams and stomps away.

Gdit, one day the future will be taken back, and he's going to make sure of it!]

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

[This is new. Sibyll would call it strange, but that's just redundant. Cautiously, she presses the button.]

...Are you eating something?

[Then something else occurred to the Courier.]

And what was up with everyone suddenly speaking weird languages? Including you.

[intercom_voice]

Is the idea of eating that unfathomable to you that you must ask?

[She just ignores the second question.]

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

I didn't think computers needed to eat.

[intercom_voice]

What, pray tell, gave you the idea that I'm a computer? Tsk tsk, have you learned nothing?

[fluffydeathdealer]

Uhm. Principal-san...

[A tentative Ryou speaks almost shyly into the intercom. It's probably best not to encourage her, but...]

I just wanted to say thank you for all the things you've done or given us to make it nicer here. You've been very kind.

[Y'know with the not-dying thing and the nurse's supplies and the arcade and the food. And other stuff. Though she's been kind of a bitch to people and she is keeping them hostage, it could be a lot worse. And she probably doesn't hear a word of thanks for it. Even though he's sure she can't see him, he bows politely.]

Thank you for all your hard work.

[Just... going to run like hell now.]

[intercom_voice]

[Oh Ryou, don't run away before she can properly butter you up with compliments! What a good little student~ It warms her heart and brightens her day.]

[roadroller]

Oh, you like that huh?

[Even though she called you a useless bitch on it... well at least she can't accuse you of being a poor sport, voice lady.]

Hehe, I may make a few more of them you know! That is, if I think of more important stuff to add~ Got any ideas? ♪

[intercom_voice]

It could go with some modifications, but yes, it has its uses.

[She's munching away on something, although it's muffled since she seems to be moving away from the mic to chew.]

I think I'll let you come up with those ideas yourself.

[roadroller]

Aww, come on! We all have to work together, don't we? That's what you said.

Hey hey, if you contribute something nice, maybe we'll even forget that our own principal was a month tardy! ♪

[intercom_voice]

You all have to work together. And for your information, I wasn't tardy at all. February was simply too short. If anything, I was early, giving announcement on what would have been the 29th instead of the 30th or 31st.

[roadroller]

That's not how February works! ♪

[intercom_voice]

It is now.

[And what she says goes.]

[roadroller]

No. ♪

[intercom_voice]

Yes.

[There's a horrendous, loud yell in the halls, before a man in Grecian armor suddenly appears from around the corner. There's a dark look on him, and at his sides, he's gripping hard at his swords. To say he was less than pleased was an understatement, and from the music that seems to be following him everywhere, there's only one thing that's clear.

Whereas others would normally stop after having a bout of anger, for him...it's probably going to take a whole lot of convincing.]

[whiterosefoes]

[The sound of overdramatic music precedes the very angry man - and while Harriet is already aware of what that's all about, it still makes her side eye in the direction it's coming from. And then this guy comes storming around the corner, dual wielding and looking as pissed as his soundtrack would suggest.

She's just going to ask the obvious.]

Looking for a fight, eh?

[She's got a sword of her own, a rapier, but it isn't drawn. Yet. Who knows, this guy could be actually hostile.]
