...I'm guessing I'm not the only one who got one of those messages?

Also...Is it always this empty? Or is this new?

It's spring break.

This happened last year, too.

m.naegi

[cloversandcranes]

Really? So it's nothing to worry about then?

[dereban]

I wouldn't say that, necessarily. But that's not really something I'd like to explain more about in front of prying eyes.

[cloversandcranes]

Understood! Do you want to meet somewhere and talk?

[dereban]

I don't mind. Got nothing better to do, anyway. Feel free to choose the location.

That depends. What message are you referring to? ___〆(・∀・)

m.naegi

[cloversandcranes]

The message you get when you press that new symbol on your PDA. The "Are you ready?" one.

[rearranger]

No, that message was only sent to third years. First and second year students received a different message. ( ￣ー￣)φ__

[cloversandcranes]

I see. That's interesting. Any idea what it means?

[rearranger]

It's hard to say. We don't know who sent it. (・_・ヾ If I were to take a guess, I would say it's meant to gauge how the school can encourage students to graduate……φ(・∀・＊)

Did you answer it?

Re: c.nanami

[cloversandcranes]

Not yet. After everything I wanted to make sure it was safe. ...Or as safe as it can be here.

[waitingforplayer2]

i guess that makes sense. [ She hadn't thought of that. ]

What would you say, if you did respond?

[cloversandcranes]

I might be more paranoid than I need to be but I didn't arrive that long ago and I'm still learning things here. Can't be too careful.

[Makoto paused from his typing to think. What would he say to that? It could be a threat or warning. But if it wasn't...Was he ready? And for what?]

I'm not sure to be honest. There are so many ways this question could be taken. ...If I had to answer, I would say no.

[There's just too many things he had to do. And if he really was dead...How was the world doing? And his friends? Would the Future Foundation help rebuild the world? Or would they shape it into something they preferred?]

[waitingforplayer2]

[ Wait, that isn't the question she got... hold on. She looks at some other threads on this post and quickly solves that mystery, then comes back. ]

There's a lot it could be referring to, I guess. But since it's here, they probably mean one specific thing.

I'm still learning too. It's like a whole new video game manual. There's a lot of new rules.

[necrophily]

oh wow
you didn't jump yet

OMG DITO

[cloversandcranes]

[Makoto blinked at the message from Dito before paling. Someone knew about that? Sure there had been people who had seen him but to say this so casually on the PDA?]

...Sorry to disappoint you.

[necrophily]

[ sorry it's the distinct lack of any tact or shame for him. but of course he wouldn't forget about that so easily. ]

i mean
you can still make up for it

[cloversandcranes]

Not going to happen. You're going to find another show to watch.

[necrophily]

aw
i'm so sad
but i'm more of a participator than a watcher anyway

I definitely got a message, though I can't say for certain if all of us got the same ones. Could be another game someone's playing, but this feels a bit more official.

In other news, I would suggest stocking up on the things you think you'll need for the next couple months and rationing wisely. Last time there was a break in classes, no one came by to feed us, and I highly doubt this one will be any different.

[cloversandcranes]

I see. Is there some joint effort to prepare for this or is it every person for themselves?

[devouringdeep]

For the most part it’s usually a free-for-all, though I wouldn’t say I’m the leading authority on how stockpiling goes around here. I don’t mind sharing in a pinch, of course, but that’s only so long as none of the younger children present have to go hungry in order to do so.

[cloversandcranes]

I understand. Thank you for the warning.

[devouringdeep]

No problem! Feel free to stop by if there's anything I can do to assist you, and if it's something in my power to dole out I'm happy to assist.
