Falling, Flaming Stars

Events that occurred since the trouble with the Bennets.

## Lore

New student, Norman, joins the chatroom as Maverick tries to wake an exhausted Dorian. Wesley leaves the chatroom after a drunk Genesis jokes about leaving the chatroom, and Wesley points out that Genesis is trying to drink her problems away, upsetting the both of them. In the chatroom, Genesis says to Halina that she'd been throwing up for 12 hours, concerning Hades and Halina. Sophia tries to escape a family dinner, and Lexie publicly talks about her self harm- triggering Genesis. Nico buys Dorian a new wheelchair after Dorian's chair keeps tipping over. Dorian finally moves out of Maverick's dorm, and into Nico's dorm.

Ayana continues to publicly grill Rahim over the Isa situation, despite the fact that Isa left. Essie confirms that there are surgeries available to fix Dorian's fingers. Essie goes into the forest, doing a Pagan ritual in the hopes of cursing Adam. Ayana finally convinces Rahim to tell the truth, and forgives him, though Dae-Hyun suspects Ayana now has Rahim wrapped around her little finger. Amadeus gets lost on a late night run, and is guided by Effie, Troy, Milla and Cartien. Maverick knocks out a panicking Dorian. A drunk Genesis mocks Maverick, and when she sobers up, they argue, and Genesis admits she was wrong to do what she did to the Bennets.

A drunk Anthony accidentally triggers Genesis, and Darius continues to bring up Trygve's past. Erebus shares a disturbing, graphic video of Trygve and Darius vomiting after Erebus hides a dead animal, to the dismay of the chatroom. Issac Hudson joins the chatroom, and unintentionally frightens Merri. Issac and Lexie argue, blaming each other for it. Hans returns to the chat, and Genesis is put under the care of Theodore. Melina and Lexie argue after Lexie is rude to Trygve. Essie lashes out at Lexie, saying that Lexie has a problem with everyone, and Lexie yells at her. Essie argues back, though is told to stop by others. Nico notes her behaviour is unusual.

When Lexie continues to jab at Trygve for stalking, Genesis shares that she knows why Trygve is still stalking- Darius discovered Lexie is forcing Trygve, and told Genesis. She threatens Lexie, and Lexie backs down. After Lexie has an incident, Evan suggests Ayana get tested for dyslexia, which she shuts down quickly. An ambulance is called for Lexie, and she ends up getting sectioned under the Mental Health Act. This angers a number of people in the chatroom, as they have negative views on psych wards and believe Lexie's want to keep it a secret should be respected. When people continue to talk about it, Genesis has a public breakdown, and she and Hades argue.

Dorian suffers a migraine, and when asking for pain medication, Essie offers, saying she has a range of painkillers. Issac questions if Essie is a drug dealer, and she sarcastically agrees, before snapping at him. Dorian defends Essie, before Rahim says he's minimising Essie's feelings. Essie snaps at Rahim, before being triggered by an image in her camera roll. and Essie begins claiming Penn left because of her. Darius claims it was Lexie's fault, worsening Essie's guilt. When she begins to cry, Darius informs her it isn't becoming of a woman, and they begin to argue.

Darius messages Theodosia, and informs her that Dorian is eloping with a prostitute. When Genesis DMs Theodosia to explain, Theodosia believes Genesis to be the prostitute, which triggers her. As Darius continues to argue with Trygve and Melina, Wesley threatens to help Erebus, to which Darius trauma dumps in the chatroom, much to Medea's dismay. When the argument is over, Dorian asks how Lexie is, and Essie makes a subtle jab, stating that everyone always seems to know how Lexie is.

When Genesis rejoins the chat on a calmer day, she and Dae-Hyun discuss the possibility of changing her name, and she eventually decides that Hye-Jin is the right name for her. August meets with Merri, and is openly mean to her about her childish believes, angering most of the chatroom. Fria and Dorian meet at the pizza place, and they try to invite Essie, only for Essie to decline and then display concerning behaviours, believing she has no friends. Wesley and Fria have a brief argument later on, due to Erebus' behaviour.

When Dorian and August argue over Merri's childish behaviours, Effie steps in, manipulating the situation in order to make out that Merri had a poor childhood and used a belief in magic to escape her reality. Effie and August begin a brief argument over it, though it's soon ended. Lexie is released from the psych ward.
