NO EXITS

I would recommend caution when purchasing, finding or using magical items; most will come with certain drawbacks in terms of either speed, stamina, strength or usage, or are cursed in a variety of ways. If this is common sense, then by all means, disregard my warning.

First things first, if you can check in, please check in. I know there are people who want to hear from you. If you know someone is injured or, let us know here.

Secondly, if you're in good shape, I need help moving things around so we have places to rest tonight. I know it's not what we want to be dealing with, but it'll be dark before we know it. If you're willing and able, I will take all the help I can get.

First objective is to account for our people, get them to medical if need be. Second is to salvage what we can and make space in the classrooms.

ETA: Still working on some things, but do not let anyone give you the magical badge if you can help it. If we have magic users who can tell who is branded and who is not, that would be helpful.

MORE ETA: We need perimeter patrols. Volunteers?

MORE MORE ETA: At 8pm, we'll meet inside Armitage Hall for a meeting.

MAGIC USERS:

Do any of you know about magical tethering abilities?

I recommend you don't provoke my counterpart. He wasn't trained to shake it off.

Don't ask.

I've met with the other version of me and Pikachu. They were due for a void week, and are just as surprised as we are that there's a campus similar to theirs.

As you can tell, their campus is a mess. They don't have warding on their rooms. They have ghosts who can just go right in. They have five monoliths, all of which were buildings we have they no longer do, mostly due to the pink kaiju. I've been promised that the kaiju is currently bound so that it can't harm anyone or anything. It seems that they've been bouncing from one horror type universe to another, rather than the ups and downs we've had. They've been at this for five years. They run on a similar type schedule that we do. One week in the void, one week somewhere else. They have their own network.

The big news though:

They say they have figured out a way to keep the monoliths from harming you. A magical badge of sorts. I will leave it up to you whether you want to take advantage of it. If anyone does, I'd like someone to volunteer for our scientists and magicians to take a look at it. If no one volunteers, then I will and have the magicians and scientists look it over.

Be careful. I'm not sure I fully trust the other me yet, but that's something for a very good therapist one day. The other version of me had a few differences in what happened to her, so they're likely not exactly like ourselves, but more like the AU Derleths we've been to.

We are not in a VR construct, but on a former campus called Derleth, every week's got some other shit for us to go through until it resets, nobody knows why we're here, we're currently on an ice planet called Hoth, and judging from certain gaps in conversation, someone probably has something planned that in the long run will allow us to leave.

What am I missing?

who threw my flarkin muffins out??

i hid them so NO ONE WOULD TOUCH THEM and i get back here and they ain't there

That voicemail [...] that doesn't sound ominous at all.

The welcome letter is a nice touch though. Not that I fully believe all of itFigured I'd give the network a try, seems like a quick way to reach out to people. I don't suppose there's someone around named Jonah or Abby?

I'm also going to need some warmer clothes. Looks like I have to head to Peaslee Theater, right?

Going to be patrolling around the campus in case more of those yeti-wampa things show up. If anyone wants to volunteer, we can set up shifts and areas.

Let me know if you want a turn, and why I should let you have a go.

[ETA]
Since I apparently put my foot in my mouth

I just need to know that you can handle yourself in the damn cold, and can get help/get away if you spot something. I don't want anyone else getting hurt.

WHY IS IT SO FUCKING COLD?

My tits are freezing. Pretty sure I already got hypothermia in my nipples.

I miss something?

My dearest friend,

Welcome to Derleth.

I am so sorry I could not be there to greet you myself, but I trust you'll find your way around soon enough. Most of the students have not yet arrived for the new semester and so I've arranged for [your?] lodging on campus. You'll find a key in your pocket. Just like old times, eh?

Should the experiment go as planned, for one week we will be able to displace time and space itself. I believe with my calculations we will be able to control the effects and no one shall be the wiser. To anyone not directly involved it will be imperceptible.

Feel free to wander the campus in the meantime. We'll begin the experiment at [muffled] Hall, on Thursday, precisely at midnight.

We'll show them, won't we?
