Post #2713574 in Arc 4, a roleplay on RPG

(OOC: Timeskip courtesy of Saya XD)
Wednesday - 6:00 AM

Both Sora and Makoto headed out to school prior to Cel taking up her position at the desk. Aziz decided not to go to school for today but instead, head to his friend Wakaba's vigil at her house outside Castle City. He left Kujo a note, asking him to take care of some things in his absence.

"I'll be back by tonight. Just tell the teachers about the vigil. I'm sure they'll understand." Aziz asks of his friend before heading out, taking nothing of any real value with him just to be safe.

As per the usual motions, Cel opened up the desk and the dorm, taking care not to wake the others up on the first floor. She debated whether she should shop for supplies to take on the ship for next week here or back in Shikoku though if she chose to do it in Shikoku, there'd be less variety of things to choose from.

"Hmm...decisions, decisions." Cel pondered a bit while waiting for the others to wake up. She reckoned if she can drag someone to go out and shop with her, she'll most likely do her shopping in Castle City.

Kurogane Technical - 7:00 AM

Makoto arrived early as per usual only to find out his professor for the day is absent, leaving them with only library research work to do. As it was something he can easily do later in the dorm, he decided to lounge around the place a bit. His classmates in that subject aren't even around, making him realize that they probably neglected to call him up about it.

"Seki...why didn't you even call or message me about this..." Sighing as he walked, Makoto wandered aimlessly at Kurogane's clean yet empty halls resounding with faint echoes from the other classes underway.

"Itsuna-kun? I guess Kirihara didn't pass you the message?" Turning around, Makoto came face to face with Taichi, the Student Council Vice President.

"Nope, she didn't. Just came over only to find Nakazawa-sensei absent." Makoto explained.

"I see." Taichi's eyes seemed to gaze at the empty classroom for a moment. "Hey, Itsuna-kun? What do you think about the President's plan? You know? The one where we talk to the west and east gangs?"

"Not so loud!" Makoto immediately scolds Taichi, glancing up at the security camera at the corner of the hall. "The school mustn't know about this remember? There's no way they'll approve!"

"I feel bad though--breaking the rules like this." Taichi replied with a laugh. "Think a bunch of brainless brutes can stop that guy? I mean, not even the police could do it."

"You may be right but, I suppose it would serve as a good deterrent. No one would want to mess with the gangs of the east and west."

"I don't know though..." Taichi interjects. "Personally, I don't think we can stop him. Especially in cases where "smart and independent women" are involved."

"What are you getting at?" Makoto perks up.

"What I'm saying is...quite peculiar of this guy to be targeting only Kurogane students no? I mean, it's not like Partisan Rose or St. Gabriel's short of beauties. From that perspective, that leaves the other trait."

"You don't say--?"

"Itsuna-kun? Do you know how many students are overlooked during the entrance exams for people who get higher scores--superficial standard as it may be?"

"That's preposterous! No one would be that heartless to kill people over not getting into a school you like!" Makoto firmly protests.

"We don't know that. Besides, it's dangerous to assume things all happen according to your perspective." Taichi counters back.

"But if this is out of vengeance or envy over the application process then why have there been only four victims as of now? Besides, just because someone dies, doesn't mean slots in the school will open up."

Taichi flinched a little upon Makoto discovering a small hole in his theory.

"And why all girls--?"

"Okay! Would you believe me if I show you some proof?" Taichi suddenly cuts in. "Proof which would cement this theory firmly in stone.

"You have something like that?"

Just as Taichi was about to take out his phone, his professor for the day shows up, informing him to head on to class. Sighing, he puts his phone back in his pocket.

"Well...duty calls. Kazenari has asked for a meeting later so I'll show it to you there." With that, Taichi vanishes to his classroom, leaving Makoto alone in the hallway again.

"Does he really have proof though? Well--it's probably just another one of his ramblings..." Makoto heads down to the cafeteria in the meantime, opting to waste time there instead.

Partisan Rose - 8:00 AM

"Akeno-chan! Good morning! You won't believe what I just saw last night! So I was on my way back, cutting corners and losing my sense of directions when I thought I saw Kirika-san walk towards a dark alley. So of course, I followed her to ask what she's doing there but when I got there, she was gone! Never mind it being Kirika-san, it wasn't even a person that looked like her! As in, there was nobody there! Urgh... I still get goosebumps when I think about it...

Oh, my classes also end at 3 so I'll wait for you in that place okay? See ya!!! :)" Kazuya's message read as he sent it to Akeno while in the middle of class.

"Tamashiro-kun! Pay attention! Phones away!" His professor scolds him.

"Yes sir..." Kazuya groaned, defeated. Had his father been there, he was sure he would've felt disappointed as well.

St. Gabriel's - 8:30 AM

"And so you take X and use it to..." The rather dull professor went on, not minding that over half the class had already fallen asleep. Even those who managed to shake off the drowsiness were either on their way there or busying themselves with their phones and tablets. Sora, primarily belonged to the other half, her eyes closing every few minutes, only for her to snap them open again.

"God, this is a drag..." She thought as she stretched for the fifth time that day. A shrill vibration from her phone prompted her to look down and check who could be messaging her at this time.

"Tried to get permission for a leave but my boss wouldn't let me. Sorry. Let me know if you need anything else. Okay?" The message said.

"Why am I not surprised?" Sora thought as she tucked her phone away, not even bothering to grace the person on the other end with a reply.
