Woven Together REMASTERED

COCO'S GRAND ADVENTURE! VOL 1, ISSUE 1, "The Bad Morning"

When Cocomori opened his eyes that day, he was met with an overwhelming sense of dread.
Perhaps it was the incessant ringing of his alarm clock, which he promptly drowned out using Waterweaving.

Or maybe it was the time. He woke up forty minutes later than the time his family had assigned for him to wake. They aren’t particularly caring, so they probably just left him behind instead of waking him up. Which means he’ll have to make it to the station alone, which means he’ll probably be even more late, which means many more things he can’t be bothered to think about at this point.

Maybe it was neither of those things. Maybe it was the simple fact that he had to get up, brush his teeth, put on his clothes, and go to a new place with new people that he doesn’t know that filled him with such dread. Cocomori was never the ambitious type, after all, and so being surrounded by people who are likely to be more talented than he is made him afraid- not by much, but assuredly afraid.

Regardless, this must be done. Begrudgingly, Cocomori sits up, a task he found to be Herculean. On a good day, he would have started his morning with a series of Weaving exercises and physical stretches, to lighten the body. Today is not a good day. He’ll have to loosen up on the go.

Cocomori trudges through the morning. The eggs take too long to boil, so he raises the heat- but then the water evaporates. He forgets what he was supposed to bring along with him on the trip and ends up overpacking on papers and textbooks. When he finally makes it out the door, he realizes that he forgot his pencil, and so bringing all those notebooks was meaningless. He sighs, a long, exhausted sigh.

Cocomori was already half the distance away from the station. It would take twenty minutes to go back.
“…Perhaps one of my peers will have an extra pencil,” he thought. “It won’t be so bad. I’ll be fine.”

Words of self-encouragement precariously slurred out of his mouth. The feeling in his gut seems to deepen despite this.

Yet, he knows that this is something he must do. Leaving his thoughts behind, with one foot in front of the other, Cocomori moves on.

This math probably isn’t correct but this is what the calculator said the amount of kinetic energy I can put into a pencil using my Needle is (presumably in joules)


It’s either that or this :arrow_heading_down:

Hmmmm


also apparently 1 joule is equal to 1 newton (n) of energy

I asked Chatgpt

But on the other hand

I like nonstandard weaponry that you can buy for less than $35
I guess I know what I’ll be using if [maybe spoilers?] makes a reappearance but we actually go there

Day 1

Lincoln awoke the same as he did any other day, groggy and parched. After laying in his bed for a couple minutes, stewing in his thoughts, he finally decided to get up.

“Seems it’s the 19th, the day before they come to pick me up. Guess I better pack up the necessaries for tomorrow.” He said, glancing at the calendar on his bedroom’s door.
“It’s no different than moving, something you’ve done plenty of times before Lincoln.”

Ignoring school supplies since he’d be a moron to not bring that, Lincoln scanned his room for anything else he could bring.
"Dumbbell? Too bulky. Lead knuckledusters? Could bring them, would have to explain it to the people onboard though. That old goat’s skull? Ha! I’d be a dumbass to not bring that after the effort my gramps went through!

After evaluating the other less important things in his room, Lincoln decided to bring along with him a refillable water cup, a foldable dart board w/darts, his knuckledusters, and his goat’s skull. All of this fits nicely alongside the school supplies in his sectioned duffle bag.

“Well, that should be packed enough for my liking, time to follow my daily routine for one last time…” He said before heading downstairs for breakfast

Also if possible I want to pickpocket some string to bring with to the Academy

Arkenheilor looks for object she might need at home. She knows she’ll bring the obvious shit, such as regular school supplies, some gadgets like her phone, a laptop (which for some reason is fucking god tier), and a handheld electricity generator (spin wheel to generate).

She asks one of her brothers, Sentouzarek, about what she should bring. He says that he knows some special things they have at home, and lists these:

  • Gun disguised as cane
  • Cheetah skin rug

She wants the gun disguised as a cane.

She also asks him for some other possible items she could bring. He says that if she wanted to be even more devious, she could bring drugs or other stuff. He has connections and knows ways to get shit such as:

  • Adrenaline (injectors)
  • Oxycodone
  • Methylphenidate
  • LSD
  • THC (gummies)

She asks for everything.

She thanks him and goes to her room to find other things. She finds 6 clear containers and thinks to herself that she could use these one day for storing interesting items.

When she heard about this, she also thought she should bring her first aid manual designed for normal people. She’s bringing her beloved giant teal and blue scarf/cloth piece anyways.

All she cares about is if the school won’t flood her with homework. She also wants to play video games on the side if she can.

It only took until 2075 for a viable gaming laptop to come out

Why exactly do they need connections to get adhd meds

wdym? like iirc you can’t get it otc so you could either steal it or ask someone (person with the prescription) for it

Why are you guys talking about drug abuse in whatever this is?

Yeah but you’ve got

Powerful stimulant (presumably more than necessary)

L e a n

Powerful hallucinogen

Presumably illegal depressant (?)

Standard adhd med

Do you not see the discrepancy

i see what you mean, but sentouzarek has connections

got whatever i (arkenheilor) could

This does not address my point at all

Also what’s your plan to sneak those in at the train station where they presumably check your luggage

how much security is there anyways? i could hide them in a pillow or something (the stuffing)

Ask syk I guess, the entire point of this school is to minimize the threat we pose though so I’d assume there’s some high security

iirc syk said mid security, not too high not too low

I feel like that would be enough for drug checks

could i fake prescriptions?

also i could probably pass the thc gummies as normal because no security is gonna outright EAT them to verify

unsure about oxycodone, methylphenidate, and lsd depends on container

Day 0

After waking up, Yuna decides to open their drawer and reread the letter from 29 days ago. It explained the strange powers they’d awakened about a month prior to recieving the letter, and talked about a ‘Weaver’s Academy’ that they and hundreds of others would be taken to so they could learn how to harness their abilities.

“Ahh… I can’t believe this is all happening so quickly.” Yuna says as they remember how it all started.

They remember the encounter with the wanted criminal and the flash of red light as they sent him flying with a single punch. They also remember singlehandedly defeating a group of thugs who tried to avenge their colleague, using that same power the day after.

Yuna checks their bag one last time.
Aside from the regular school supplies and clothes, some snacks, and their water bottle, they make sure all the important stuff is there;

  • The half-filled sketchbook given to them by their best friend Lisa, saying it would help them learn to draw better.
  • The 4th and 5th volumes of the Arcane Adventures book series,
  • 67 dollars (worth of whatevever currency people use in wevaria),
  • A bracelet given by their little brother as a good luck charm,
  • and a kitchen knife, for whenever they might possibly need it.

Yuna then looks out the window to the cherry trees in the distance, where the train station was at. They know they have to go there tomorrow, and they know to hope for the best, and prepare for the worst.

what yuna probably looks like
