Definitely they'll be going to classes, but all the students will be talking about it in their little groups of friends (as students are prone to do when something major occurs). Aside from that, probably classes will go as usual until... the killer strikes again... or something (yay for killing off nameless NPCs!). Probably at that point the more insightful ones will begin to suspect something, even if the staff tries to cover it up. When they tell the others, the adventurous ones would want to organize an investigation of some sort...
Hmm... that was rather specific, wasn't it... -.-;;

No that's very good. I was just at a bit of a loss of what to do next. We had all this stuff planned for Round 8, but er...we should move on to the next bit.
If we go along with this, that means the lockdown was only for 24 hours or so. Or maybe all weekend. Anyway, if we go to classes, what classes do students have in common? Who teaches those classes? We have 2 "official" teachers for OTI, and 3 for IMA.
Kero teaches a class on magical defense and charms. Afanen teaches history of women and magic, natural healing and defense, and a study on magical rebellions. Ms. Silf teaches a health class and acts as a counsellor.
Sable teaches weapon and vehicle building. Terran teaches survivalist courses, beginners metalogy, and energy and fuel efficient weapons/vehicles
Those are just a FEW of the classes characters can take. :3 I think artists should pick 3-4 classes for their character to participate in or pick a classmate to share some classes with. :3
e.g.: Angelo Patient Care - Post Surgery, Survivalist Training, Neuro-Studies (independent study with Kai). Marron Natural Healing and Defense, Kero's Defense class, Botany (at OTI)

Ms.Silf acts as a substitute for other classes when she's needed if that helps any ^_^
Tyde Summoning , Advanced Aquatic combat, Traditional combat: Competitive use , and Reverse healing (supervised independent study )
I was thinking Tyde could be convinced to drop his reverse healing and take some OTI medical courses?
Maybe Angelo catches Tyde fervently reading a medical or anatomy book? Or Kai and Angelo are discussing something and Tyde happens to be passing by and corrects one of them. Despite seeming it Tyde isn't a complete idiot at least not academically XD

Hmm, Miria would definitely be taking the Advanced Aquatic combat class with Tyde, as well as the magical defense and charms and probably Beginning Swordplay.

Bleck...I'm being negligent. XD @az: That would be seriously cool to enroll Tyde into OTI's medical courses.
Anyway, now we have some "new" relationships to consider. Angelo and Kai are in an independent study class Tyde and Miria are in a Aquatic Combat Class. Tyde and Marron /may/ have a class together since she's in a lower level medical course.
All right. I'm done repeating information. XD

Stolen from one of bb's posts as a clarification of DD's position in the school. Just for future ref if anyone wants to include him again.
----------------- Currently we have 3 active story threads:
The Murder Thread - This involves the male students and anyone who tries to relate to Jaes or investigate the student death. This may (should) tie into other threads or overlap easily.
Conspiracy Thread - Everyone suspicious of the school activity, this includes the faculty investigations and anything associated with the top 3 baddies. This I think is our major thread that all sub-threads feed into.
Kidnap Thread - There is a keen interest in Marron's supposed vulnerability. This could help develop the Conspiracy Thread. It could serve as a lead to get other characters involved. namely those looking for her. ------------
Let's try to base further discussion off these 3 main threads for now. Please mention if there is anything you want your character to contribute OR ideas of how the threads can tie together or what have you.

If Marron is being manipulated by sound it's likely both Silf and Tyde would recognize it. Silf could probably counter a sound-based spell where as Tyde could recognize it , and maybe realize they either need to stop the sound or find someone who could counter it.
Person A : Hey waterlogged aren't you a siren? Counter the darn song!" Tyde: Misconception. Not all Sirens have vocal magic! Person A : oh...
If the girls go searching for Marron the boys might hear them and join in, and suspicions that Jaes was the killer could be erased/lessened if the boys find Marron doing something suspicious or see that fae.

That might be workable since Silf is out and about anyway. I think xxmischaxx is working on something else involving the boys group this round.
On the flipside, if the Fae goes far enough with his plan and gets her inside the Lab and THEN the others catch up, there may be a chance to reveal a new plot point for our characters.
Or Silf could catch the girl group out and about and join up with them. After trying to stop them first of course.
And my question is still, why Marron? What does Fae/DD find so interesting about her? Last time she encountered DD, he had no interest in her...but at least enough interest not to kill her. Unless it's her tie to another character that they're interested in. Or they just nabbed the wrong person. *shrug*

perhaps while they were 'erasing' her memory they stumbled upon something very interesting? A meeting with DD's sibling perhaps? Maybe an old memory/family story about some 'weird voodoo' happening on the academy grounds some odd years ago.

Oooh...ohhhh...I really like the involvement of DD's sibling suggestion. Marron does have anti-demon protection in a sense. (Anti-demon in the evil spirit sense of the word, not the actual race itself). Perhaps she could be used to soften his edges.
That would mean DD's brother has a major agent on the island. (Since it would be silly to have him return just yet.) We could have one of our current characters as agent. Since I know someone will HURT ME REAL BAD if I suggest we make a new random cameo. (I MUST resist putting Angelo's brother in, I MUST!)
(I'm brainstorming out loud.) Kero's too loyal to DD so she can't be the agent. Sable's too loyal to Kero (heh heh...secret crush). Silf has already been established as a "good guy". Sylphi doesn't seem the type. Joy is our conspiracy theory character. Miria...she's currently with the girl group. Jaes...we don't know enough about his character. Angelo is too nice and too goody-goody to get involved with the baddies. Kai could be an option. He came to the school on "scholarship". But then again, in the current storyline he's with Angelo so it wouldn't make sense. Afanen could be. I could make up a motive. We've only seen her deliver Jaes. Sgt. Terran could also be an agent. Just because she was helping Silf doesn't mean she's on her side. Just a thought.
Or we could collaborate on a new faculty/student agent.
...or we could use Olenga the Assassin/Angelo's brother...*IS STABBED*

What about all those 'Shadowy Figure A' and 'Shadowy Figure B' folks? Just have a recuring theme of whenever something important happens (if it makes sense in the context of the comic) to just have a shodowy figure somewhere hidden in the background (almost like a 'where's waldo' figure, and not pointed out by anything) and then sometime down the road he gets discovered and turns out to be either someone unknown as of yet, (like a random nondescript student who no one would even bother to look at twice), or he could be literaly a living shadow or something. Or you could make a new student. Either way...

The role of the agent is a pretty involved role, I would think. Giving it to Random Student XYZ would not make much sense.
I'd like to use one of the current cast if possible or we could collaborate on making an evil agent character or come up with another idea all together.
olenga: or you can use meeee. Mod: No...no...no...you're at St. Dyphnia's chasing ghosts. olenga: fine...*goes home*

XD Tyde could be evil!...or not
The agent might not necessarily know they are an agent. They may only have the 'agent' side of there persona activated at key points or by certain triggers. Mind control is always fun the play with.

And demons are well known to enjoy making otherwise normally nice people do bad things without them knowing that they are doing them.

Yes, I rather like those ideas az and... az... ;D Make good people do the bad guys dirty work without them realizing. I'll volunteer Jaes to be the agent, he's already pretty clueless. Plus it adds to the speculation.
