[physical education 101]

Who: transfer students
When: July 1̷̝̤̳̙̫̭̻̝͓̄̇̾̀̕͝9̸̙̱̹͍̮̈́́̀̅͛̐̔̋ 20
Where: the. . . gymnasium?
What: an ice breaker
Warnings: moderate physical injury (not debilitating), psychological horror (absolutely debilitating)

[The school is empty. The school is quiet. The only sound that cuts through the silence is the soft ticking of the hallway clocks that mark the passing of each second.]

[. . .]

[At least. . . until a stiff breeze whips through the classrooms, scattering dirty papers and jerking the curtains aside. The clock strikes 6:00 a.m.]

[The school bell chimes.]

[ Team rooms | Endgame | Rewards ]
mogger: (any longer)

I'm okay, are you okay?

[ she says that, but as soon as tifa touches her she can feel yuffie's emotions: which is a large dose of fear, hidden by bravado. yuffie does not realize this has happened, for the record, and grips tifa in turn, in that slightly clingy way she does ]

[ her legs are bloody and have been bandaged, but otherwise she seems fine ]


Were you in a creepy classroom that was ripped to shreds? Like, literally?

[ Tifa is not prepared for the sudden surge of fear. Not that she hasn't been freaked out herself this whole time, but this is different, like she can tell that it's coming directly from Yuffie. She blinks in confusion as Yuffie clings onto her. ]

... Yeah, I was. We thought maybe there were others since the yearbook was so small, but I tried knocking on the wall and didn't hear anything back.

[ Which doesn't make sense. Surely all these rooms were next to each other...?

What she might or might not be feeling from Yuffie only spurs Tifa to do what she wanted to do anyway, though, which is give her a big hug. It should make both of them feel a little better, she hopes. ]


It's just a relief to see a familiar face!
mogger: (they say the word go a lot)

[personal profile] mogger 2025-07-21 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ the cling is brief, so the feeling of fear abates momentarily -- until she's sweeping yuffie up in that big hug, and it's back. perhaps confirming that is, indeed, from yuffie ]

[ it also abates a little with the hug. yuffie hugs back, but she looks embarrassed ]


We did too, and we didn't hear anything! Were those rooms just really soundproofed or something? What the hell's up with that?

It's.... it's good to see you too. Even if it means we both got kidnapped.

[ but at least they can deal with the situation together ]
suplexer: (090)

mfw i realize we didn't discuss canonpoints YOLO

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-07-21 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Huh, that's really strange. Tifa's not sure what to make of it, or if she should ask, but she'll probably wait for a few more moments of contact to confirm her theory before bringing it up.

They're processing enough as it is. ]


I guess they must have been. This is definitely not a normal school...

[ Not that she knows much about schools like this, given that she grew up in a small country village, but you know.

She sighs and nods, drawing back as she tries to bury down all of her feelings of concern about what it means that they're here. ]


I was in the middle of the Cetra's trial and then suddenly I was just... in that room. Was it the same for you?
mogger: (but they can't see the light)

tbf i did sneak an app in

[personal profile] mogger 2025-07-21 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ yuffie's school experience would have been during the war so who even knows what her situation was like ]

It's super duper haunted, for starters. I have no idea why we'd be kidnapped to a school, of all places.

[ a bit of a hesitation, but ]

I finished my trial. We were continuing on in the temple, then... just in the room. Super weird.
suplexer: (067)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-07-21 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Both of them with wildly unorthodox schooling experiences...

But why did they have to be taken someplace haunted? Tifa could punch monsters all day long, but she hates this. ]


There are definitely a few people here who are too old to be in school, too. [ One of her teammates had even been bemoaning having to go back.

Any thoughts of that are chased away when Yuffie mentions the trial, though. Tifa's eyes widen and she grabs Yuffie's wrists. Not more emotion share— ]
Wait, really? Was I there after you finished your trial?

[ And if so, why doesn't she remember that? ]
mogger: (ok you get the idea)

[personal profile] mogger 2025-07-21 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yuffie ain't afraid of no ghost....... just kidding, that is patently untrue. still, she doesn't have the same fear that tifa does ]

A few? Try a lot. I saw a bunch of old people around.

[ emoshare is: less afraid, generally happy to see tifa, and.... now, confused! ]

Y-Yeah? I mean.... don't you remember that?

[ this is getting weirder and weirder ]
suplexer: (122)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-07-22 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ Of course Yuffie would think a lot of people here are old.

But that aside, there's those flickers of emotion again. Tifa blinks down at where her hands are clasped over Yuffie's wrists. ]


I don't, no. [ It's only a slight discrepancy, but still strange. She's distracted now, though. ]

But also... something else is going on, I think. Every time I touch you...

[ She trails off and frowns. ]
mogger: (in a MATERIA WORLD)

[personal profile] mogger 2025-07-22 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ normal rude teenage behavior ]

... Maybe that trial messed with you. I know mine kind of sucked.

[ it's not that far apart in timelines, so yuffie tries to explain it like that rather than different timelines or anything ]

What? What happens when you touch me?
suplexer: (067)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-07-22 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's one way of putting it.

[ It was terrible. They don't need to talk about it, especially not right now. Maybe another time.

Besides, she's busy trying to figure out how to explain what keeps happening when they make physical contact. ]


It's like... I think I'm feeling what you're feeling? Just for a second, while we're touching.
mogger: (and im materia girl etc)

[personal profile] mogger 2025-07-23 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ yuffie would ask about hers, but she doesn't want to talk about her own, so. it is officially filed asway from later ]

You--- what?!

[ feelings of alarm, confirming tifa's thoughts. and yuffie's, actually, since the journal had said--- ]

W-Well, don't do getting the wrong idea! I'm not scared or anything!

[ okei yuffie ]
suplexer: (089)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-07-23 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, those feelings of shock and alarm roll right over, causing Tifa to gently remove her hand because it's starting to feel unfair to Yuffie that she can just feel everything she feels. ]

Huh... that's so weird. Did you come across anything like this with the other people in your group?

[ She's just going to slide right past the question of whether or not Yuffie's scared. Tifa certainly has lost her cool a number of times here already because this has been scary, but there's not much point in arguing about it with a teenager. ]
mogger: (yknow that we be le living)

[personal profile] mogger 2025-07-23 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ maybe one day she'll be able to feel tifa's emotions and they'll be even. for now, yuffie is just quietly relieved tifa lets go of her ]

No, but I should check with them. Maybe it's been happening to them too.

[ surprisingly serious yuffie. tifa is smart to slide past it, though tifa is probably the only person yuffie would ever admit being scared to ]
suplexer: (082)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-07-24 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ Just wait for some future event where all the curses get switched around for a bit... ]

There's so much that's strange about this place. What does feeling someone's emotions have to do with anything, anyway?

[ Still, it would be a good idea to try and compare notes and get some definitive answers on what's going on with each group. ]

There was some info in a notebook in our room. I'm guessing yours had one too?
mogger: (official asterion icony (bc he stinky))

[personal profile] mogger 2025-07-24 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
In the journal we found it mentioned something about it, but I didn't think it was serious! Ugh!

[ yuffie is down to compare notes, but naturally she has to complain first ]

... But yeah. Something about someone named "Shiawase".
suplexer: (032)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-07-24 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ It seems like everything about this place is serious, even if they've been shoved into a school for some reason? ]

Hmm. For us, it was "Kenkou." Some of the people on my team were speculating it was written down by someone who was here before us, and who's still trying to help now, but I don't know...

[ Wouldn't that make them a ghost... ]
mogger: (if they don't give me)

[personal profile] mogger 2025-07-24 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ so they can finally have their school experience... ]

I did wonder why there were only two journal entries. So either they escaped, or they're dead.

[ yuffie just bluntly states what tifa was thinking.... ]
suplexer: (004)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-07-24 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

[ Thankfully? She's already thought about this. ]

The handwriting in the journal seemed to match what was on the chalkboard in our room, so I do think it might be...

[ She looks away. Yeah, they're dead. ]
mogger: (repeat chorus)

[personal profile] mogger 2025-07-24 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Well. We've got some clues to start off, anyway. Wanna ask around and see what the other journals say?

[ yuffie might not mince words, but she's not in any hurry to linger on depressing topics. she's mission-minded, despite it all. ]
suplexer: (102)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-07-25 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
That's not a bad idea. I'd like to check in on some of the people who were in my room with me, too, so maybe we split up for now and meet back up later?
mogger: (have to let them be)

[personal profile] mogger 2025-07-25 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. See you soon.
