[ this morning, two Kin'uns are at the bulletin board, adding a new entry, and then simply loitering nearby.

Ms Fairplay, notably, has her arm in a sling. Mister Adair... fares better, with a few scratches upon his hands and face. both of them look... pecked. ]

There. [ says Ms Fairplay, of her clumsy signage. ]

[It is. The note did not mention this part.]

A golden flame on the rooftop. We caught a glimpse of it as we fell. Whatever it may be, it cannot be perceived from the ground below.

[... ?]

Huh? Like... actual fire, but it was gold?

[ratiocinations]

Mm-hm. So it seemed, within the very brief window we could notice it.

Does it mean anything to you?

[selfportraiture]

Not off the top of my head. I don't really know a lot about folklore and yokai and things, though.

It'd be really weird for a fire to be burning on a school rooftop, though. That's not normal.

[Mental note: more research in the library required. Or... Hm. Golden? Surely not related to their own classroom colors...?

Mind working in the background, while he says:]

No, I agree. Perhaps it was merely a rather large and gaudy way of keeping the roof lit, I thought, but that is unlikely — but even if it were true, then why?

Instead, it may be yet one more of those particularly dangerous spirits we've been encountering.

[selfportraiture]

... Ugh, that's not a pleasant thought. So even if we did manage to make it to the rooftop, we'd just have more trouble waiting for us.

But... wait, wouldn't that mean the school's trying to protect us in that case?

[With the looping stairway.]

[ratiocinations]

That would be the assumption, yes. [Hmmm.] It seems we've had the assistance of more helpful entities for longer than we have given our situation credit for.
