donotlick | sorry hank doesn't believe in ghosts

[ Yep, Hank sure is here. I mean, in his room. He's not hard to find.

And he's not hurt or anything, either. ]

Yeah, what is it?

[thank goodness, because Maya's flippin]

Do you know what was happening out there? What Todd was saying when he spoke about you? Because that was nuts!

I got in trouble for punching Han.

[ He rolls his shoulders, gripping his head like he feels a headache coming on. ]

Lucky I'm not dead.

....Oh!

[Fist falls into open hand gesture]

That's what Han couldn't tell me about! Now it all makes sense.

[Case closed. It instantly puts her at ease.]

Yeah, he was trying not to get me in trouble. Didn't work out so well.

[ Wow, now why would he do that?? Hank actually doesn't know either. ]

So he was trying to protect you... so you punched him?

[Makes sense(?)]

Seems kinda backwards, right?

[ Hank laughs. ]

I was drunk. Really fucking drunk. Han didn't want me to get in trouble for something I did when I wasn't in the right mind. Or y'know, whatever.

A little.

[Shrugs her shoulders, all nonchalant. Of course, her lax mood is ended as Hank continues to speak.]

Oh. It sounds like he really cares about us, you know? Or, he's trying to show it.

Maybe yeah.

[ Hank shrugs his shoulders. ]

He's not awful or anything. But he's... I dunno. Hard to tell, with him.

It's hard to tell with all of them, besides Todd, that is.

[....]

And the girl that was in charge for the entrance exam. She was really nice.

I mean, I trust Megumi. And Han... There's a lot about him that doesn't make a ton of sense, but I think that's more because he's not from here. That's my theory, anyway. He sure thinks otherwise.

[ My, someone is chatty today. ]

Vivienne, right? What was she like?

...Nice? [Also not dead, but should she be saying that yet?] She was nice, and really sweet, and she wanted to protect us from Todd, so there's that.

There was also this robot corgi. He was pretty nice too.

Oh, yeah. I heard about her dog... I hope he's still around somewhere.

[ Wow, that not dead thing seems pretty important, actually... ]

What happened to her? I mean, she was trying to help you guys, right?

So do I. [She hopes he escaped to somewhere nice!!! And isn't stuck where they are right now!! That would suck!!!!]

Uh huh. She tried to protect us from Todd, but then... he killed her. For being too nice to us, I guess.

[Or so he thinks. Hopefully.]

[ That would suck, wouldn't it. ]

Shit, just like that, huh? You guys have to watch her die, or did he... I dunno...

[ It's hard to ask normal people about this, he's got no clue Maya's no stranger to crime scenes. ]

In front of us, more or less.

[Not fun.]

Jesus christ. That's fucked.

[ Not fun at all. ]

So that was it then, huh? I haven't really heard where you guys went after that.

Oh, we took a bus away from the school, and we ended up staying at this other place.

[Not a whole lot happened.]

They said we "passed" the entrance exam, so they were probably keeping us around for this.

What, seriously? After all that, they just turned around and went all "good job!"??

[ What the fuck, Toddswald ]

[Just a slow, somewhat pained nod.

It didn't feel very congratulatory to her, that's for sure.]

Jesus Christ, Toddswald is messed up. No wonder he doesn't have any friends.

You're telling me. It's not like he made any friends before that either.

He's gotta know the other people who run this place though, right? Like, this is a school. So there's gotta be a President and that kind of thing...

You'd think somebody would've come and busted his ass instead of him having to hire new kids.

....Sure! [She knows what you're talking about! Absolutely.]

I don't know. Maybe whoever's his boss actually likes what he's doing to us.

That's a good point. They started this whackjob "school" so they might be even crazier than he is.
