War Week

[mockmods]

[A week has gone and past, as has the first of your number. The Researcher revealing himself, more or less, by punishing Patches, the Trusty, for pushing an unclear boundary.]

[And yet, routine seems to have returned. The Researcher makes morning and evening announcements as if nothing has happened. Meals are served in the dining hall. The copies of Oregon Trail in the computer lab now have a text-only mode for some reason? Penny has not been seen since Friday, and attempts to access the Security Room have been fruitless.]

[But overall, life in the Facility has remained unchanged. But the atmosphere is getting tenser - sooner or later something is going to break.]

[ At least by Team Exercise they didn't have them fighting for their lives. Though, considering what the Researcher presented, that looked like it may be changing relatively soon.

Suffice to say, he had retreated to his dorms as well, which is why it's easier to find him consequently later in the day in a hallway, after he'd just exited his own dorm. ]

I do. [ ... ] It's about what happened today, isn't it?

[ Privacy seemed lacking and though it wasn't out of any ill intent, Shinso also saw more than he supposed anyone would've liked to have anyone else seen...for the most part. ]

[mightdoriya]

It is, yeah. [As soon as all of...that went down, Izuku knew that he wouldn't be able to rest until he talked to Shinso about it. It left him unsettled for a lot of reasons. So there was one thing immediately on his mind he needed to ask.] ...do you think anyone here would go through with Rule 7, even with all of the incentives and blackmail? [There's always a chance, but he wants to hope for the best.]

[clandestineideals]

I think there's a good chance. I wouldn't know who specifically would, but after that's been put out there, someone might be tempted.

[ Shinso would like that the Researcher's bait doesn't work, however he's also being kind of realistic. People have killed for less. ]

With that in mind, it'd be best to be careful.

[ Of course he doesn't hide the fact that he's at least a little worried; there's really no point in that. ]

[mightdoriya]

[If Izuku is being honest with himself...he's not worried about himself, exactly. Even without use of his Quirk, he knows how to fight. But there are others here that he'd be worried about, both being unable to defend themselves as well as capable of really hurting someone if they had it in mind to do so.] I trust that you can take care of yourself. But...I can't say I know what's going to happen if a fight actually does break out in here. [He feels...responsible, in a way, for at least trying to prevent or even stop this sort of thing from happening. But what can he do? What could he do if something happens and he's not around to intervene?]
