Hic cursus fuit:
cum subito adsurgens fluctu nimbosus Orion
in vada caeca tulit, penitusque procacibus austris
perque undas, superante salo, perque invia saxa
dispulit; huc pauci vestris adnavimus oris.
Quod genus hoc hominum? Quaeve hunc tam barbara morem
permittit patria? Hospitio prohibemur harenae;
bella cient, primaque vetant consistere terra.
Si genus humanum et mortalia temnitis arma
at sperate deos memores fandi atque nefandi.

Thither lay our course . . .
when Orion rising on us through the cloudrack with sudden surf bore us on blind shoals/
And scattered us afar with his boisterous gales and whelming brine over waves and trackless reefs.
To these your coasts we a scanty remnant floated up.
What race of men, what land how barbarous soever, allows such a custom for its own?
We are debarred the shelter of the beach/
They rise in war, and forbid us to set foot on the brink of their land.
If you slight human kinship and mortal arms, yet look for gods/
Unforgetful of innocence and guilt.

“Attention class. Night has begun. All movement actions will cost extra AP, murder attempts will be more likely to succeed, and visibility is reduced.”

[!] All players have left the Town Square. The main thread will not be used again until the Class Trial begins.

Expect a brief pause in processing of actions- I’m currently having a short break. Normal service will be resumed very shortly.

Take this time to think of ways to kill each other, hmm?

“Attention class! Day has begun.”

“My first lecture will happen in 24 hours. I assure you that this will be exciting, and after this lecture you will want to participate in the Ultimate Hunt… very enthusiastically. Monorete and I will be omnipresent as always to help if you have any questions regarding the Hunt.”

“Other than that, I don’t have much to report, schoolwise. Happy hunting, everyone!”

“Attention, class. It appears that the Ultimate Hunt has not yet begun. Perhaps you need a practical demonstration? Some sort of… Motive should do the trick to make you give us one.”

“For our first class, we are going to learn about forensics, in particular how they apply to magical murders. As a consequence should a murder be committed, all details except Name and Ultimate will be ommitted from the victim’s Monoluna file.”

“Happy hunting, everyone. And have fun performing the autopsy~!”

And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
