video; backdated to valentine's day

[tenminutes]

[ Have a brightly waving Yuri right now, looking too happy. ]

Hello on Valentine's Day everyone! As you can see, apparently the entirely school's gone completely insane!

[ Okay yeah no she can't keep that up with the stupid banging on the door in the background. It's obvious she's in her dorm room right now. There's another chair in front of the door, blocking it. Sorry about the inconvenience, Sonia. ]

Shut up already!

[ Yuri looks back to the laptop. ] Heads up, they're still pretty stupid. You can lose them for a while if you trap them in a classroom, but they'll find you eventually. Sonia, I hope you don't mind if I use your sheets to escape out the window. I don't really want to slaughter them.. [ She side-eyes the door. ] But at this point even knocking them out doesn't last more than a few minutes.

[ There's already blood on the door handle and it's unclear just whose it is, since Yuri already changed clothes. ]

We need a way to lock the doors from the outside to trap all of them. If anyone needs help, let me know where you are as soon as you can. SSS members: If you're close to the location calling for help, get to them as soon as possible. You know where the extra weapons are in HQ if you need--

[ There's a loud crack in the background as some kind of kitchen knife breaks through the wood of the door, making Yuri look back. ]

I'll be replying from my phone when I can. Stay in groups if possible.

I understand but...

[ It's very hard for her not to see them as real people, in some way or another. ]

I've spent so long, trying to protect people..

[tenminutes]

You're not the only one. But if you want to protect people, then you can't worry about the NPCs as much.

[losthersheep]

I suppose so..there is someone I'd like to protect here, most of all anyways.

[ That person being a certain pink haired underclassman. ]

[tenminutes]

Then focus on them. There shouldn't be too much to protect from except when the NPCs aren't quite so docile.

[losthersheep]

You said there's a way to make weapons? ...If we needed them.

[ Mami hates the idea she will need them again, but at least she doesn't need her Soul Gem anymore. ]

[tenminutes]

If you're willing to get your hands dirty, you can make anything.

[ She means that literally, not really the phrase. ]

[losthersheep]

You mean making things from the ground? I've heard about that, but I don't understand how that works. I don't...I don't have any magical power here.

[tenminutes]

It's not really a magical power, it has more to do with the world than us. I can teach you.

[losthersheep]

You can? I'd like that. I'll make sure to repay you somehow. I can make all kinds of sweets..

[tenminutes]

I'm not a sweets person, really. I'll take food though, but I like savory things.

[losthersheep]

Really?

[ A girl who doesn't like sweets? What is wrong with her?! ]

I'm sure I can make something you'd enjoy then. Maybe Katsu Curry? Do you like things spicy?

[tenminutes]

That's fine, then. Not overly spicy, though.
