That sounds about right. Stuff like having to rename the locations, changing bees to geese, and the Dorm Heads' archetypes. Taichi shared with all of Fall dorm earlier in the week.
yeah that was when we got it, too. shinonome thinks that its likely this whole thing is gonna be for eight weeks - a "season". and we think there's a likelihood that the people who've been killing are being compelled into doing it.
yeah. based on what crow was reading to us, it sounded like they wanted to make it "more exciting" whoever they are. the editors, i guess. bullshit, basically, there's no explanation for any of it. shinonome said a lot of the same kind of shit happened when he disappeared and they all came back hurt. idk as much about catra's group, but shinonome's was bad.
but it's been driving me crazy, why somebody would go out and kill lan wangji, especially after last week - why someone'd just do it again, yk? but if they cant stop themselves from doing it then...
thinking about it pisses me off but i dont think its a bad theory
On that note...Caiman and Manwol also mentioned the possibility that Lila, Lan Wangji, Kaoruko, and Hiyori might still be alive somewhere. If this really is all just some kind of elaborate reality show, then...there's a chance they might not have actually died. It would be really easy to fake all kinds of things with special effects, after all.
this situation's shitty but - that's something to hold onto. if they're alive, then good. i don't wanna be in this garbage reality show, but if that's the case, then at least we know it might just be fiction. so we just gotta crack this shit wide open and get everything the way it's supposed to be.
our dorm heads are victims of it too. shinonome said when he talked to viola she managed to break free of it for a second and said that "viola" wasnt exactly her fits right into that script thing - she's playing a role and so are the other three.
Yeah, like I mentioned, their character types were listed on the script, too. I wonder what makes them different...like, why mess with their memories, but not ours?
they might've been here longer that's all i can really think of. they've got specific roles too - compared to the rest of us. one of the editor's notes was that the cast was "too small" so i think thats where we came in.
[ BYE WHAT THE FUCK HE'S RUNNING OVER?!?!?!? HELLO?? ichiro does not give two shits if he is in the moat or if he gets soaking wet or attacked by geese because he is RUNNING
he is absolutely not going to be fast enough to catch him nor will it do anything to prevent either of them from being soaking wet however he is sprinting and sliding into the moat to grab him?! ] Holy shit - what the hell?!
[ here's the thing—once he breaks the surface of the water, hope is, miraculously, almost unscathed besides smelling like gross moat bog! the only thing is that he seems to have twisted in midair in such a way that his right leg was curled upon landing in the water. ouch! but even that isn't exactly apparent at the moment because he's kind of flailing and splashing too much to notice. adrenaline does weird things to a kid.
ichiro can pull him out without much difficulty since he's small as it is, but once he's able to flop back onto land, he doubles over and starts coughing up water. give him a sec or two? ]
thank god he's at least okay?! ichiro makes sure to pull him up and out of the water and onto the bank, shooing off any curious geese and then putting a hand on his back while he's coughing up water. he doesn't looked panicked or anything but he looks freaked out as hell, looking up to the third floor window and then back to hope!? he's already come to think of him like a little brother so that was too much holy shit ]
Hey, hey, you're alright. You're okay, you're okay. [ RUBS HIS BACK ] Deep breaths.
[ he's still coughing and spitting up stinky water, but having ichiro around does seem to be helping...! eventually, he completely keels over, but he's not, like, dead or anything. he's just extremely exhausted and finally feeling some consequences of his actions, from the look of things. when he looks up at ichiro, he winces with both pain and guilt... bro :pensive: ]
[ that LOOK that just stabs him right in the heart, oh my god. ]
What happened? [ why were you hanging out of the window?!? ichiro sounds so fussy. ] Here, let me see.
[ he's at least first aid trained so he can kind of help, moving to carefully prop hope up and hold onto him so he doesn't go face first into the mud. rip. how's your injury bud. ]
[ despite water being a liquid, he landed pretty solidly on his side upon impact... his leg got the brunt of it with the way it's kind of turned a little funny, but his arm's not looking too hot, either. the more ichiro fusses over him, the more he starts to avert his gaze, instead looking up at the open window above them. ]
[ well nO SHIT HE KNOWS THAT he gives hope a look that's a little stressed, sort of a silent "duh what the fuck" and then shakes his head. ]
Okay - I'm gonna pick you up, man, alright? Let's keep any weight off that leg. We've got a first aid kit back in the dorm, I can at least get you situated.
[ he will wait for hope to say if that's okay if he gets picked up, but otherwise ichiro's already shedding his bomber jacket, reaching to put it around his shoulders. it's nice and warm and most importantly dry, since he must be cold after a fall into the moat. ] What were you doing up there out of the window - man, you were texting me, you could've told me you were hanging like that sooner, I would've come running ...
[ swaddled... with the exception of a wince as he shifts off his bad side to better settle into his new position, hope makes no protestations as ichiro picks him up and wraps him in the jacket. he instinctively grabs at it and curls into it, not really realizing how cold he'd been until being surrounded with warmth... plus it gives him a way to hide half of his face with the jacket's collar, resulting in his speech being a little muffled. ]
And...I'll put it this way– I didn't want to, but I had to. [ he looks up at ichiro with a sort of quizzical expression. ] You get what I'm saying, right?
[ swaddled!!! easily so. hope's really light - he's smaller than saburo - so ichiro has no issues picking him up. he is really, really careful, making sure not to jostle him too much, and starts to head for the winter dorm.
he only glances down at him again when he speaks up. a range of emotions flicker across ichiro's face, from surprise to understanding to... anger, flaring in his red and green eyes. fierce and unyielding. ]
...yeah. I'm getting it. [ oh he HATES this. ]
Walk me through everything that happened. When did you start feeling like that? While we were talking?
it's hard for ichiro to think super clearly when he's angry, and right now, he's seeing red at the idea that somebody would mess with hope. all these weird, shitty curses, and of all people, you stick one on hope? he glances down at him again, and something in hope's face gets some of this fury to cool, into something else.
it's just - there's distress on his face. it's not quite fear, not quite misery, but he's upset and worried and angry for the kid in his arms, and confused, because he has no idea what's going on now and he just wants to fix it, and he can't just fix it. ]

shinonome thinks that its likely this whole thing is gonna be for eight weeks - a "season".
and
we think there's a likelihood that the people who've been killing are being compelled into doing it.
no subject
But... for what reason?
I guess you can ask that about literally any part of this, but why the killing in the first place?
no subject
based on what crow was reading to us, it sounded like they wanted to make it "more exciting"
whoever they are. the editors, i guess.
bullshit, basically, there's no explanation for any of it.

The more we learn, the more questions we have...
But that just means we have to keep going.
Thanks for keeping me in the loop, Ichiro.

he'll see hope clinging onto a windowpane on the third floor. a window on the second floor is open below him.
hope looks out to see ichiro, a grim look on his face, before he just fuckin lets go and falls backward toward the moat.
