It could work. Aunt and niece, that probably is believable enough.
[Sigrun nods]
It shouldn't be all that hard for our boss to get uniforms for this school. They're supposed to provide us with anything we need, that should be easy enough.
[She says this because the thought of mugging a student isn't something that crosses Sigrun's mind as plan A, haha]
[We bring chaos while trying to solve this CYOA. Seems about right! Poor unfortunate student who will get mugged, hah]
That's what improvising is for. We still have a good amount of time before the time comes. I'd say we can manage even without the schedule. It's just a building. [She gestures, making a small cube with her hands] We'll manage.
[Well then, let's go try to get that uniform for Saya]
[The dice are being awful so I'm just going to say you guys can get the uniform for Saya. Normally during school they don't let late students in but since Saya is with an adult they will be let in and told where the office is. But like. Nobody's going to check and make sure they go to the office.
It's classtime, so the halls are quiet. Everyone is in their classrooms learning. Where do you begin your search?]
[Sigrun considers it, reaching a possible suggestion:]
Let's meet half an hour before the deadline. Location: entrance hall. [Easy enough to find, open enough to not be too suspicious] Until then we both try to do what we can to figure out how to stop this with as little trouble for us all as possible.
Okay, that's a good plan. [a hum, thinking.] I'll find the white haired man. The other one saw me before — at the orphanage. I think he would recognize me.
[Well this is something that happened! Sigrun immediately responds without batting an eye]
Yes.
[Thank goodness for her capacity to just lie without even changing her tone or expression]
Currently a candidate for the job, it depends on how well today and tomorrow go, but someone in the offices screwed up and forgot to give me the schedules and details in time. Pretty sure when we talked the other day they said something about assisting you today.
[Proximity to the guy who will try to stab the one to protect seems like a good idea! So she attempts to bluff]
[He will point out the bathroom to Saya on the way.]
Go to class afterwards!
[And then he pulls out his schedule to show Sigrun. It's a Japanese school so the teacher goes from classroom to classroom here.]
We'll have 1A first, then 1D, then a planning period, then our lunch, then it's 1C. There's empty desks in the back, so you can watch how classes go from there.
[For Sigrun the day will go smoothly until 1C, where a student who is Not Tama has to go to the bathroom suddenly. Afterwards, Not Axel will start answering questions despite having been quiet beforehand.
[is this the type of school where the classroom doors are left open, or are they closed? and if they are closed, do they have a window on them? because if she can glance inside each classroom as the white haired guy leads her to the bathroom, then she will do so to see if she can spot the red haired teacher.
but to everyone's shock and surprise, she does not go to class after being led to the bathroom. she does head inside to keep up appearances, and also to check it out. just in case, are there any students gossiping in the bathroom? or any messages of note written on the bathroom stalls?
she'll do a cursory check of the bathroom to make sure there is nothing of interest here, before making sure there are no adults out in the hallway and heading out to continue scoping the place, especially the area where things are supposed to go down.
where is the murder supposed to take place, exactly?]
[Probably not a surprise to know Sigrun is bored out of her mind watching the classes. Not even because she knows things, it's more because she plainly is disinterested about all this. The more classes pass, the more Sigrun wonders if maybe she should have said that no, she wasn't the new teacher.
Oh well, too late. She keeps sneaking glances at anywhere she can find a clock while sitting to the back of the classroom.
At least her intent staring of the teacher is good for something, it disguises that she's zoning off...but she also tries to figure out the professor's mood throughout the day so far. He's the guy who will kill someone else, after all. Maybe something will piss him off enough to commit murder, she wonders. How does he seem to be doing during the classes?]
[Me nyooming along and saying that yes, Saya can find the red-haired teacher, but he doesn't have a class at the time she was given for his apparent death. If she stalks him he'll be in his office for part of it, but then leave it to go make copies at one point. That's where he and a student meet up, and the student insists there's trouble in the bathroom.
It's 5 minutes to go until the murder is supposed to happen. Saya knows where the red-haired teacher is, and Sigrun knows where the white-haired teacher is. Are they going to do anything else to intervene right now?]
[Yes, time to intervene. Keep the white-haired guy busy, enough for this...
....
You know what, time to improvise! How hard can it be too keep a guy busy and out of trouble for five, maybe ten minutes to be safe?]
You better keep the other one entertained, Saya.
[So, to know the situation best, what's happening right now? Is the class ending? Are we still in the middle of it and the teacher will leave for some reason?]
well. she is keeping an eye on the teacher to make sure he continues speaking with that student and doesn't go anywhere. as long as he keeps talking to the student, and the white haired teacher is nowhere in sight, then she won't take any drastic actions.
but if it seems like he's about to leave and the student won't make him stay, she doubt she can convince him to stay after the stunt at the orphanage the other day, so:
just in case she needs to pull it, is there a fire alarm nearby?]
[She doesn't even say 'please', she grabs the handle and while blocking the teacher's sight she pretends to turn the handle and she pushes/pulls without actually attempting to open the door.
Oh. Oh how unfortunate, oh noooo, the door is closed...and there sure is no red-haired professor to murder in here in this classroom! Sigrun turns her head towards the teacher]
It's jammed! You got a phone, don't you? Call someone!
[.......oh, wait, she's technically a subordinate right now, shoot]
Sir.
[She has no idea why the door didn't open for him but she sure is thanking the good fortune that happened! And to prevent him from giving it a try, she hogs the door, still doing some theater to pretend this door has become an undefeatable obstacle.
Just five to ten minutes, that's all she has to do, she thinks. She puts all her trust on that Saya will be able to come up with something to keep the other busy!]
[While the teacher is at the phone, Sigrun still tries to block the sight, and then during her pantomines she decides to try to be subtle and actually jam the door somehow. In her efforts, she accidentally breaks the door handle or whatever she's gripping. Whooops.
Without even missing a beat she steps away from the door]
It's hopeless.
[She says, goes behind any podium or desk the teacher might have in this school, and drops the broken door handle there]
It was... close to the cafeteria. [she's careful to tilt her head just enough for her face not to be seen clearly, though she was wearing a different outfit back then.
and then she lowers her voice, like she's worried about being overheard:]
I think some of the older students were smoking. But don't tell them I said anything, okay?

I don't know. But we'll probably see them again later. It's what happened to the group from last Thursday.
[she sighs.]
We could steal a uniform, and you can pretend to be my relative. Then it wouldn't look weird, right?

You married into the family... [she trails off, and then. giggles.] Auntie.
[their christmas color hair.
unfortunately, now they must mug a student. the mod tag has decreed it. while they continue to cause horrors:]

Should we split up to look for them? We need to keep them away from each other.

Hey! You're going to be late for classes, hurry up!
[Yep. It's the white-haired teacher. He just happened to walk by and saw a kid not in class. He also becomes aware of Sigrun in that moment too.]
Are you the new teacher?
no subject
Oh. Sorry, I had to... use the bathroom and got lost.
[where is the bathroom? she should go find out, unless the guy wants to tell her, but she sticks around to see how sigrun responds.]

Yes.

she moves to stand right next to the fire alarm and calls out to the redhead, ducking her head a little to hide her face:]
—Hey, teacher, there's smoke coming out of one of the trash cans down the hallway! Can you check it out? I have to get back to class.
no subject
[The white-haired teacher does go to the classroom phone to dial the office number though.]
[At the same time, the red-haired teacher is hurrying over to Saya.]
Where did you see the smoke?
