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. ))

That one thing you really put all your energy into... [ Riley sighs, softly. ] It's...important, to have a dream, a goal. A thing to reach for. To...want to be perfect for.

[Claudine nods.]

That thing you push yourself harder for, a little bit more each day.

Keep your lips pursed tightly, however hard it might be
(So you won't cry in vain...

Even if we still aren't our ideal selves,
We're definitely closer than we were yesterday.

We will keep on growing, so please watch over us
Every frustration and regret will surely encourage us tomorrow.

[ It's a familiar song; Claudine had sang part of it before. And it's gentle. Much more gentle than the overwhelming drive that fuels Riley each day. And, she allows herself to get a little carried away with it, in a different direction that she usually would. ]

[ ♫ ]

I'm seventeen, there are so many things that I can't control.
If I start to freak or feel weak, I focus on just one goal.
Turn down the panic, attack this routine like it owns my soul!
Turn up the music, so loud that it swallows us whole...!

[ She turns, looking to something that seems far away. ]

And then there we are, we burn like a star,
We're safe inside the world we know.
Then suddenly I'm in prep for the climb,
And here I go!
High in the air, there is a moment just before you start to fall,
Live in that one moment!

[ Riley's never been a flyer. She remembers that but- but the feeling of that imagined moment keeps her serene as she looks back to Claudine. ]

I know that if I can just stick the landing,
Then I'll know, that somehow my life will be fine.
And I'll go through the rest of my life understanding,
What it feels like to shine!
