So apparently, business shorts are a thing that exists. All I can say is... why?

Been busy lately, courtesy of the guy who thought that it was a good idea to have 3 assignments and a test due in the same week.

Anyone remember the period a little after guildfall, when the site didn't have a lot of work put into it, the servers went down pretty often and people were moving out? We waited and waited until boom, Mahz made America the guild great again. That was about where I left off.
My mistake was trying to take on everything at once (and being cringy as hell but I mean come on). Well now I'm back, and better than ever.
And I'll be damned if I let anything get in the way of having a good time.

@Lord of evil Okay I apologize for my terrible interpretation skills, since that's chasing the characters around in circles. I'd thought the spiderwebs were definitely a plotpoint to be tackled (being in the same room as then "wind"), but since Derrick didn't seem to want to, the other room was an option too. But, clearly, the spiderwebs are not? a plotpoint (yet), so I'll just awkwardly swerve my characters in the right direction again... can we ignore how they behaved the post before? Since, going along with your interpretation of the room, they've clearly acted out of character :/
Alright, let's see...
I figured the spiderwebs were basically there to tell us there were spiders. They didn't seem that thick yet (guess I should've asked) so I didn't think we should be too worried about them. I figured the light and wind would be more plotpointy, and that's what I was going for. I dunno about the out of character bit, that's honestly up to you.
Pretty sure the doors you were referring to are in the hall, as what I got from Hek was that the library was an open door that was in the hall. Maybe that's where you're confused? Your post looked fine enough to me.
Thomas stopped in his tracks as he heard his name before turning towards the source of the call. He'd never considered himself a particularly memorable person, which is why it surprised him when he saw someone he didn't recognize right off the bat. People didn't tend to call his name unless they had business with him. He was pretty sure there weren't many people that knew he was the head of the newspaper club. Not like he advertised it, but still. The fact that what was almost a stranger called out to him made him suspicious.
The girl was vaguely familiar. The crutches seemed like they would leave an impact. He was sure he'd seen her somewhere before, although not particularly closely, as far as he could remember. And Thomas could never remember much about others outside of his personal circle of friends. Acquantences tended to go fuzzy after he stopped thinking about them, and with this girl in particular, he was drawing a blank.
"...Sorry, but do I know you?" Thomas asked.

Going back down the hall to try another door held some appeal, but he saw no real harm in exploring a little further. There was always a chance that whatever made these webs would show up, but there was always a chance that it wouldn't. And besides, there was investigating to be done in this library.
"I think we should at least figure out where the light is coming from." Derrick said. "I don't think it matters much either way."
At least they knew what could be coming in the library. Odds were that the things behind the doors in the hall were similar to the first door they tried - bedrooms to either monsters or nowhere in particular. The wind and the light promised something, at least, that there was either a hole in a wall somewhere or something else that would still probably be worth looking into.
"The light over there might be a way out, or something." Derrick said, pointing in the direction the breeze was coming from. "And, I mean, we may or may not face monsters either way, so..."

@KoL Thomas and Finn don't have much to do specifically so I'll roll with whatever happens.
"Well, I don't see why we would cut it." Derrick said quietly, thinking deeply.
There wasn't much of a point. Sure, it was blocking up some of the books but it's not like they wanted to read right now. Besides, the books were probably beyond reading at this point. Maybe things would change later on down the line. His general policy with spiders was live and let live; it'd go away or die eventually. Although the size of the spiders might change something or other, and the webs would most likely block their passage the farther they went on. But hey, why were there giant spiders in a library?
Derrick snapped out of his thought trance and stammered out a quick explanation of his opinion.
"I mean, If it's in our way, sure, but I figure we should leave it alone otherwise." Derrick said. "Unless... I don't know, do you think there's something worth reading around here?"

"Wow." Derrick breathed.
Spiderwebs. Very large spiderwebs. Derrick was no stranger to spiders or bugs, though he was somewhat more comfortable with spiders. Spiders didn't like being bothered, and tended to keep out of the way. A lot of people considered them pests and would rather have them killed, but Derrick didn't see it that way. They kept the bugs away and they stayed out of trouble. It was like him and spiders had a deal - Derrick didn't bother them, they didn't bother him. Still, there were exceptions to that rule.
Derrick inspected one of the spiderwebs. It seemed relatively fresh, no trace of dust. Cobwebs formed from abandoned spiderwebs, fresh spiderwebs meant that the web had either been made recently or renewed recently. Either way, that meant the spider that made it was nearby. That on its own was no worry, but there were 2 things that did worry Derrick: the sheer size of the webs and the quantity of the webs. Spiders tended to leave humans alone, but the larger they were, the less they stuck to that rule. The quantity of webs worried him because it could mean a whole colony of spiders, which doesn't tend to happen with the spiders Derrick was used to. He couldn't even guess what kind of prey they'd been catching but considering this place was a library, it wouldn't be much of a leap to assume that it was humans. And that was what worried him most of all.
"This might cause issues." Derrick said quietly.

It was a new day, plagued with yesterday's problems. The lack of adult supervision was an issue indeed, but to many it wouldn't have meant much. It meant something to Thomas, though, and while he wasn't sure exactly what it meant, he had some pretty good guesses. But that was what worried him. Thomas stretched and sighed, mulling over his theories as he sat in the newspaper clubroom. He turned from his laptop and stared out of the window as he reflected on his thoughts. The day outside looked rainy - a somewhat apt reflection of Thomas's mind. Things were getting clouded and he was pretty sure he didn't like where things were headed.
Thomas had stayed behind for a few reasons. He needed to do some work for the club, and he was waiting for a reply from Retsu Goroshi. The second reason was something of an unlikely occurence, he knew that very well. But try as he might, he saw no reason that the... thing would lie to him about a girl he's never met before. Regardless of the specifics it was clear that she had some link to the problems at hand. But he hadn't gotten a reply yet, so Thomas had decided to do some of the leftover work.
Thomas glanced outside idly. He wasn't sure where the rest of the newspaper club were. Finn was gone, either to the basketball club or gone home; probably the latter considering DGO came off maintenance. It would be the same for the rest of the club, particularly those who participated in other clubs. The rest were done with their work and he didn't want to keep them there if they had other things to do, though they were free to stay if they wanted to. Thomas was just editing the articles about the festival, a fairly simple task. Still, it helped him to think about that day and what he heard from the malicious entity that had possessed Maribel. And more importantly, it helped him to think about what to do next.
He honestly wasn't too sure what to do. He didn't want to enter Deep Ground because there was a possibility that he could meet that while he was there, but he knew he'd have to go eventually, if only to prevent a repeat of the festival's events. Thomas scrolled through an article on the student council president's mysterious hospitalization, though it was mostly speculation on what'd caused it. Thomas knew what caused it, sort of, but he hadn't told anyone about it considering the sensitive nature of the event. He wanted to tell Yoshino Tsugumi, but he couldn't do that just yet. She'd been under quite a lot of stress and he wasn't prepared to add more. But the longer he waited, the more risk it carried of damaging Maribel's relationship with the girl. But he couldn't do anything about it just yet.
Thomas shut the article and rubbed his eyes. That was the last of them, so his work was done. He could go home and do his homework, and then... Thomas opened his eyes and stared out into the school yard as it began to rain. He supposed that he couldn't avoid it for long; he'd have to go into deep ground eventually. He had a feeling that something would happen, though as to what it would be, or how large an impact it would have, he didn't know. Thomas sighed and got out of his seat. He took his bag and umbrella and began heading out of the school. He'd have to face DGO and the thing that'd possessed Maribel sooner or later, he just hoped that he'd know more about it before he did.

Derrick peered into the room. He could see light, but not much. Not that it bothered him. He could see it was a bedroom, or rather, a room with a bed in it. Derrick wondered why it was behind an iron door, but that didn't bother him either. What did bother him, though, was the room's occupant. Fine, they couldn't exactly see what it was, but it was large and it had fur. He supposed that it was at least a living thing, unlike whatever the jailor was supposed to be, but that was little comfort considering the only living thing outside of the group that Derrick had seen in this place was the wolfwing. That wasn't to say that the thing in the room was definitely the wolfwing, but he didn't like the odds. And even if it wasn't, odds were that it would not like the intrusion.
"...I kind of feel like we should... Close the door?" Derrick whispered.
