“It’s funny how history decided to repeat itself with you.”
Who knew a simple handshake of the past would become an unwanted problem in your life?
You’ve become one of the witnesses to something you shouldn’t have in the hallway of Lumintoile Academia. In exchange for your silence, you both have been brought in as honorary members to The Elites. The Student Council are those Elites in this school of yours, with power and charisma at their fingertips, they are the paragons of what a Lumintoile student should be.
So it’s a wonder why they’re committing to something they shouldn’t be sticking their noses into.
Like, say perhaps, a missing person’s case?
You’re unsure why they want you and your fellow witness’ help on something that shouldn’t be your problem anyway. All you want to do is to keep your record clean and last your final high school year without a scratch on you.
Unfortunately, the rabbit hole only seems to go deeper.
With time running faster, academics piling, mental health deteriorating, secrets unraveling, and lies exposing themselves, the urge to take a nap has never been any more greater.
Cheers, my friend, for you’ll be graduating high school with a pathetic battle cry for your sanity.

->Their Birthdays
->Important canon bits
• Weylyn Rutherford the President (18, M, Demisexual Demiromantic)
The good boy next door. He’s your neighbor in the local neighborhood you both live in. A kind and patient guy that helps around your family every once in a while with a smile on his face. Not as smart or athletic as the Vice President or the Treasurer, but he’s trying his best. Weylyn tends to disappear randomly a day or two each month, and comes back like nothing happened with an excuse that he’s just visiting a relative. Yeah, totally explains why his eyes seem to glow a bit brighter for a few days.
“Ah, jeez, you didn’t have to do that. You’re going to make me blush!”
~•~•~
• Fleur Heartstein the Vice President (17, F, Bisexual Greyromantic)
A rich heiress to a family owned bank, she’s the epitome of the “Top of My School” game. Always with high academic achievements and grades, multi-talented, boys and girls swooning over her left and right; she is the girl everyone either dreams or envies. Despite her popularity in the school, her demeanor screams of a distant figure that’s only praised for what she is. Calm, cold, quiet, people like her are known to hide and say so much more under the surface. Is that blood and petals in her coughs?
“I’m surprised you even want to talk, let alone to me.”
~•~•~
• Zephyrine “Zeph” Vel Delle the Secretary (17, F, Pansexual Panromantic)
The ever excitable and cheery Secretary of the Council. The one to bring the fun and excitement on a bleak or boring day. One for makeup and fashion, she’s the gal who’ll ask if you can let her paint your nails or test a new eyeshadow she bought on you. She’s everyone’s best friend, if you may. Despite the giddy and somewhat airheadedness in the way she appears, there is a side you've yet to see from her. And you don't know if you can handle it.
"Oh, look at that, we're holding hands! Does that mean we're dating now?"
~•~•~
• Eliseo De Loughrey the Treasurer (18, M, Bisexual Aroflux)
The bad boy of the Student Council, an irony for being part of a paragon of the Lumintoile perfect student. Often found smoking in the old classrooms of the 7th floor or flirting with some random girl or guy in the campus. A smug demeanor, and known to tease, any annoyance towards him is usually gone by sweet words and a smile. Open with everything in his life, even the unnecessary bits, is he as transparent as he seems?
"You're a little adorable thing, aren't you?"
~•~•~
• Cooper Lockhart the ??? (17, M, Aceflux Biromantic)
Someone from outside of Lumintoile. Not much is known about him, but the fact that Fleur's seen with him all the time outside of school. He doesn't look like anyone you've seen around the neighborhood. With an attention span that is always drifting off somewhere and with a hyperactive attitude, it's a wonder Fleur sticks with him. Maybe he's some foreigner friend visiting, or maybe something more sinister is afoot.
"Aww, come 'ere and let me bless you with hugs!”
~•~•~
• Ophelia Edevane the batchmate (18, F, Greysexual Panromantic)
A new friend you met through Zephyrine. She's an unusual one from the next classroom over. Head stuck in fantasy books, she longs for something well... magical to happen in her life. Gullible and easily awestruck, an academic to the unknown and mysterious. A researcher if you may, always getting her head into dangerous things just to learn them. Though it's a bit alarming at how calm she is about it all. It could be a façade, for all you know.
"Oh, there you are! Come on, I want to check something out with you!"
• Murphy Heartstein (16, M)
One of Fleur’s adoptive younger brothers in the 10th grade. A socialite and fairly popular in his grade. Part of the school’s basketball team, and often found playing basketball during lunch.
~•~•~
• Ziyad “Z” Heartstein (16, M)
Murphy’s twin brother and the slightly lesser known brother. Just as quiet as his older sister, and often found in the library either reading or playing chess with Fleur.
~•~•~
• Chiffon (31, M)
The butler of the Heartstein family. He’s an aloof and frank man, always seen picking up and dropping off the Heartsteins via limo.
~•~•~
• Evelyn Lockhart (24, F)
Cooper’s older sister. She drops by every now and then to check up on him. Charming and just as mysterious as her brother with a permanent smile on her face.
~•~•~
• Shiki Chikafuji (???, NB)
They call themselves a friend.
