May Activity Check

Welcome to the April activity check for Diatu Magicademy! A reminder of our rules:

You must provide one log thread with at least 5 comments from your character.

You must provide either an additional log thread with at least 5 comments from your character, or a network thread with at least 10 comments from your character.

If you have some activity during the month, but not enough to pass AC, you may request a strike. To clear the strike, you must provide double activity the subsequent month.

Activity is valid for posts made between the close of applications in May and the close of applications in June -- so this month, any activity made between Wednesday, May 1, and 8 PM Eastern time, Wednesday, June 5th.

Activity must be submitted by Saturday, June 8th at 8 PM Eastern time.

Also, as a reminder, the results of your Actions will be posted as a response to your activity check. If you haven't chosen any, you have until AC closes to do so.

V's answer comes, in no small part, by way of the meeting he's been roped into with the Headmaster.

Electing not to answer the question that sounds like gobbledegook, the researchers instead inform him that the circle has been Modified. Which is the beginning and the end of the answer. It literally has had the value of pi set to three, with nothing else about it affected at all. It doesn't make mathematical sense, but it makes magical sense, and magic is more fundamental than math.

Xion gets told, quite gently, that if the Sundered get into trouble, they'll be treated just as fairly as any other student, and if they do poorly, they'll have the chance to keep taking those classes or try different ones. The administration will never expel a Sundered student, because that would be fatal, so they'll have a place here as long as they need one.

Insert predictable and non-sensical rant from Sho about how math is more fundamental, important, and crucial than magic.

Xion however has one follow up that they may or may not answer:

Looking up from under her hood, a sense of hopelessness seeming to emanate from her. "What about someone like me who has never truly been alive?" she whispered. "I can't really die, since I don't really exist. So it isn't something Somebodies other than Ax.... Lea would care about. Would I get expelled or turned into a Dusk if I made trouble for the wrong people, like getting into fights?"

Sho earns shrugs. Clearly magic won over math, but if he doesn't want to accept the evidence that's on him.

Xion gets a puzzled look, then the researches patiently explain that she absolutely exists and is alive by all meaningful measures, and that no matter what other people might say, in the view of the Magicademy and thus then Tenscore Kingdoms at large, she is no different than anyone else for any purpose. So everything they said is still true.

Very very confused she would nod, sure that if they knew more about her they would realize she wasn't a person.... right? But she would head off, deep in thought over what it might mean if it was true. She hesitated. Almost... almost turning back to ask... if they thought she was alive and existed based on a heart... but... she couldn't bear the answer, not when either way she'd have no way to be sure it was true. So after that hesitation, she bolted, running away from them, from where Saïx had been sitting... from everything.
