week 4

[stagemanagers]

[Another week, and two more dead. King Richard and Red are both gone, and once again, it was through nothing more than an accident in the heat of the moment. Maybe if you all stay calm and collected, nothing bad will happen again?

Well, maybe not.

When you wake on Sunday, you'll find that you've recovered another one of those memories - or had another dream, if you still wanna be in denial about it. The grounds remain as they are, but this time, the door blocking the stairwell has been unsealed. You can now venture up to the second floor! This is the second time that's happened; it's almost as if you get more space every time someone dies. Or maybe the whole place just seems quieter.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday


(( Welcome to Week 4! Please remember to submit your AC and your memory regains, as well as your coins! You can also still contact the Phantom. ))

[He's not confusing her for Maddie, mind, it's just...it's so easy to see what he could have had, if Maddie hadn't been sick. A girl as hopeful as Red, as driven as Riley, as passionate as Christine- he still aches for that. And no, he doesn't know anything about her parents - he hopes to God they're not like Jeremy's or Riley's - but...]

These are words that every girl
Should have a chance to hear-

[Just in case her parents haven't told her. And if they have? A reminder.]

'There will be love, there will be pain
There will be hope, there will be fear
And through it all year after year
Stand or fall, I will be right here for you'

[He cracks a smile, then, opening his eyes and looking at her. Pulling away just slightly - just enough to establish that no, he's not her father, but-]

I hope your Mom and Dad know just how brightly you shine.

[There's an odd aching feeling in her when Stephen pulls away, probably from homesickness or possibly just from the catharsis of being able to comfort each other. She doesn't know, but she gives a wobbly smile.]

I think they know. I mean, they've never seen me in a situation like this, but they do love me. I think they know how bright I am... maybe think I'm too bright.

Good. [And he means that. Thank God at least one kid's parents are the right kind. A+ raising, would happily teach your child, etc etc.]

No such thing as too bright. Not in a place like this, anyway.

I suppose I am meant to be a bit of a detective here, huh? Solve this mystery and get us all home safe.

[She's... just a little sad about home not being somewhere Stephen will be, and so her smile is more hesitant.]

Scooby did have a knack for that. And if anyone can, you can.

The only problem is there aren't any Scooby Snacks to power me up.
