I remember telling them that if I stopped sending daily messages we probably wouldn't talk for months. and it's so weird to see the texts from two years ago where they were begging me to wake up and talk. and the one thing they said that still sticks with me is that they believed we would be fine after the breakup. and my god was that a lie

"[T]hese men believe that they deserve something (a woman, a job, a very particular type of respect) simply for existing; when they get even a whiff of the opposite, they snap into verbal and physical violence.
Maybe you’ve never run into this; maybe you’ve never experienced it firsthand. But I assure you someone you love has. I know I have."
Fuuuuuuuck.

Acadia School for the Gifted and Talented was a school located in the center of a large city somewhere in Japan, and the school Kaede went to prior to joining the Port Mafia. It taught students from the ages of 10-18, and unlike normal schools, the students were scouted by the school itself. Sending recruiters from the school to look around the various schools and observe the children in their classes until ultimately choosing which students they want attending their school.
While it seemed like a normal school on the outside, school was secretly teaching and training the next generation of assassin’s under the government’s nose. Using psychological conditioning, manipulation, and fear mongering to keep the students in line and under their thumbs until the graduated.
Monday's, Wednesday's, and Friday's were dedicated to normal curriculum that one would learn in any school. Tuesday's, Thursday's, and Saturday's were dedicated to learning gruesome assassin training ( including hand-to-hand combat training, acrobatics, weapons training, tactical skills, ect. ect. ), and learning how to use and control ones special ability. Sunday's were usually the day the student's were able to rest, catch up on studies, or participate in extra training. Older students were permitted to leave campus, but the had to return by curfew.
Speaking of curfew; each and every student, regardless of age, had a curfew of 10 pm. Unless there's an emergency regarding the school or a students family, no one is permitted to leave or enter the school past 10 pm.
The school itself was a very "Everyone for themselves" type of situation. While there were different types of friend groups and cliques, no one really trusted each other. Relying on each other for emotional support was not an option because you could never tell just who was willing to stab you in the back at any given moment, nor who would report you to the staff if you spoke negatively about the school.
The "Graduation Ceremony" takes place during ones senior year. After successfully passing a series of physical and mental tests, as well as written exams- the students have to take everything they've learned for the past eight years and kill someone of the higher ups choosing. They don't have a choice and if they do refuse, then they automatically fail. It's only once a student successfully makes their first kill then they get to graduate. Throughout the history of the school, only five people failed the Graduation Ceremony. The story of those five varies depending on who's telling the story, so nobody know exactly what happened to them.
Cellphones, social media to be more precise, were strictly prohibited due to the off chance that the true nature of the school would be exposed. There were televisions, yes- however, the list of tv shows and movies they were allowed to watch was extremely limited. The only access to the internet students were allowed to have were in the computer lab- but even then, they were strictly monitored by faculty and were only allowed in during certain hours during the week.
The school has been under investigation only three times, and all the times, the people investigating were bribed by the headmistress with copious amount of yen to turn the other way.

Summary:
Nothing bad ever happens on the 13th floor.
IT'S UPDATE DAY. Vamp is out of town, so I'm doing the tumblr update. And this update comes with a little relationship chart, since all our players are finally in motion. Enjoy. This might be one of my favorite chapters, but honestly, I think I say that every chapter. Also this chapter was almost 8k. How.
FUN FACTS:
The masterdoc for this is at 153 pages.
I remain convinced this is the greatest thing we've ever written.
We got an idea the other day for one of the later plot points that was so amazing I think we both stopped breathing for like, at least thirty minutes.
I tried to open this doc at work the other day and couldn't do it without laughing, which is a problem because we're in cubicles.
Since last time we had a running "fuck" audit, I thought it would be fun to do one here. Currently the fuck count is at 243, which is 1.58 per page. .... honestly this seems low, but it definitely varies by whose POV is active.
Anywhooooooo enjoy.
