SO YOU WANT TO STEAL SOME CHILDREN (Endgame Catchall)

[facultwist]

Welcome to the container for your endgame! This will be the place where you can perform your polterheist (we really love that portmanteau), and where you'll be able to commentate on the final trial!

ICly, the whole heist will take place Monday, while the final trial watch will take place Thursday. For anything not related to endgame, please continue to use the main deadland post!

[Misty's here, with a smile, the ever-eager girl scout, ready to show herself as reliable as ever. There's a weird tension that hangs off of her, even more striking with the fact that she doesn't seem tense or angry, no matter how much she should be. It's just... regular Misty vibes. Rancid. Her words, however, match the vibes a little better-- even if the tone or expression doesn't.]

How many times has this happened?

[ I'm going to assume this is going through the board, totally fine, but for future tags please note that moving the planchette takes manual effort! You can differentiate what goes to her and what stays between yall with good old fashioned O-U-I-J-A-T-E-X-T ]

I... know as much as you do about that. If the headmistress knows something about me, it's not something that I remember. It would explain why she hates me so much, if I had done something to her before that I don't remember.

L-I-A-R.

[emptynester]

You can believe what you want, but you heard her yourself when she said "this time." This is the only time I'm aware of.

From the way she talks to me, I must have been quite horrible before.

She knows all of you, and knew who would kill who from the very beginning. And she's a current student here at Burnbriar, though I think she must have transferred very recently.

P-U-N-I-S-H-M-E-N-T-S?

[emptynester]

Yes. Punishments too.

[thatsplato]

[She looks at Vanity.]

[sweetsynergy]

[Deep breath.]

Okay then! She's dying. Good to know.

[rosewitch]

Even mine and Kohaku's? Even Hatsune's? Or did those go wrong this time?

[thatsplato]

[Well. This does the unthinkable. Misty casts a look back at the others.]

Not even I knew who I was going to--

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

What a shock.

[ this would be sarcastic if it were delivered by ANYONE else ]

[sweetsynergy]

...ask if she knew about the punishments in advance too.

[rosewitch]

. . . Can you ask if she knows any reason why everyone might have disliked her so much?

[Something about this doesn't make sense.]

[thatsplato]

People don't need reasons.

[She sounds a little grumpy? But... planchette girl go!!!]

When she first came to me, she said something about being surprised I "could even care about children enough to keep them alive." If we're considering this to have happened more than once, then perhaps there was a version of me that is less... kind. I wouldn't be surprised if under other circumstances, I might have become a worse person in the care of the state.

Dreams? Nothing notable.

[Anthy has exactly one ghost spoon right now, and it doesn't entirely make sense to use it. But this answer flares up a quiet anger inside her, enough to ask one question herself.]

[Maybe it's just the vibes, but something about Misty asking this specific question is deeply unsettling.]

[...is she actually spelling that entire thing out on the planchette, or-]

[thatsplato]

[yeah it takes a while but she also says it out loud to creep the rest of yall out]

[sweetsynergy]

No abbreviations, huh. Bold choice. Very you.

[By her tone, this is not shade for once. Even Vanity is unsure what it is, but Misty has for now surpassed the threshold of needing shade.]

[thatsplato]

If I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it properly.

[sweetsynergy]

There's rules for ghost-texting?
