this is a musical game, but this doesn't have lyrics for a title

[It's been nearly a week since everyone was brought here, so you know what that means. It's time to share information and discuss strategy!! Or something. Anyway, the Pirate King has gone around and told everyone (yes, even you!!) about the plans for a lunchtime meeting in the dining hall. You don't have to come if you don't want to and the Pirate King will not drag you there, but if you want lunch and you try to sneak by the room, he might notice you and drag you into it.

Once everyone is gathered (or most people, if some of you aren't showing up), he'll stand up and slam a hand down on the table to get everyone's attention.]

Gentlemen! ...And ladies. We have been in this establishment for nearly a week now! It's time we discuss our situation and what we've learned here. From my own explorations, it seems as though escape is impossible. None of the doors or windows will open no matter how much physical force is used! I would like to hear any ideas you all have about escape, but any information or plans in general would be wonderful!

[Let's get started, shall we?]

I don't know... I know my sister isn't. We don't have TV's where I'm from. If they are, do you think they'll try and find you?

[onthebusagain]

... No, probably not anymore, I've been totally freaking embarrassing. Being on this kind of show is total social suicide.

[sunshineprincess]

Wait. What? Social suicide?

[onthebusagain]

You know. Where nobody likes you, and everyone ignores you, because you did something wrong.

[sunshineprincess]

.... no?

[onthebusagain]

I guess a princess doesn't have to worry about not being liked. [She just feels sad, now. She'll have nothing good waiting for her once they get out, even if her friends aren't watching. Vanishing isn't cool, at all.]

[sunshineprincess]

[Sorry, Heather. Everyone in her kingdom loves Anna.]

I don't know about that. I could probably do something that'll upset the people in my kingdom, but they might not even tell me if I did.

[onthebusagain]

I made fun of you for being a home schooled freak, but you're lucky you didn't have to go to high school.

[sunshineprincess]

Is school really that bad?

[onthebusagain]

Not if you're popular. It's the dream! But also a lot of work.

[sunshineprincess]

[It's a lot a work to be popular?]

Work?

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

[D-ne's saying nothing to this conversation, but you bet your bottom dollar that she's taking quiet note of it. Apparently popularity conversations are her instant tune-in.]

[onthebusagain]

[wow creepy]

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

[sticks and stones will break my bones but shut the fuck up heather]

[onthebusagain]

Yes! [She gives a loud, dramatic sigh.] The clothes, the makeup, the boys-- and that's without cheerleading practice, or keeping up with friends! [Yes, everyone, listen to Heather's very serious woes.]

[sunshineprincess]

[... It really does sound like hard work to be popular. Anna is now very, very happy she's never done anything like go to school.]

Why can't you just be yourself?
