Week One

[stagemanagers]

[Yesterday, everyone woke up in a strange place and realized that they'd been kidnapped, and also that everyone else around them may or may not be kinnies? Wow, what a weird escalation of kin drama! Given what some people have seen of Spongebob's freaky arm thing, though, maybe it's not that at all?

Your Assistant Director, Hester, showed off her stuff and immediately had her life threatened by Lumpy Space Princess, who got her life threatened right back. Maybe you should keep that in mind if you decide to pay Hester any more visits! She won't be making another public appearance this week, but as promised, she'll be available for visits and consultation in the Principal's Office during business hours.

If you don't want to chat with Hester, there's always the school to explore! Some of you might also be receiving mysterious coins next to your bedside this week - those must be useful for something, right? There's lots to do, and you all seem like a group who can make your own fun, so enjoy your first week of school!]


Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday


(( OOC: This will be the last mod post for this week! Feel free to start submitting regains for any threads that aren't with Hester. Remember, song threads mean an extra coin! This is a peace week, so get all that CR while you can! ))

You said most things are stories. [ says Orpheus, brows furrowing in confusion. ] So he didn't do that, but people say he did to be funny. That's... weird? Aren't there plenty of true stories to tell about him?

[ His history teacher sure seemed to think so. ]

[tellthestory]

Sure, but people like making things up!

[and like who doesn't want to write dumb vampire stories, it was a whole thing for a while]

I'm pretty sure the guy has more biographies than practically anyone, though. There's no shortage of non-fiction out there.

[themuseabandonsyou]

It's true. [ says Orpheus. He mostly deals in historical stories and songs, but he's read and listened to and enjoyed plenty of fiction too. ]

It just seems weird to make things up about a person who was real. [ who would do that ] Do you think the things we'll be learning about him here are going to be, um.

[ He pauses, trying to think of how to phrase what he means. ]

Things that are true in all our worlds? Or just this one?

[tellthestory]

I mean, my entire show is sort of that. We're - we were fairly historically accurate, but that's just the nature of it.

[They do have Guiteau's real song. That was weird.]

Probably hard to say. Some of us are from really different worlds. Like Mumble or Spongebob - is there a penguin version of Lincoln somewhere out there for Mumble?

[why would you speak this into existence?]

[themuseabandonsyou]

That's true, too. I guess even historical accounts get kind of mixed up in the telling? Just because of how storytelling works. What gets left out or added or changed to make it make sense to an audience who wasn't there.

[ The vampire thing still seems a little extreme, but he's willing to leave it there for now. ]

I just assumed Mumble's people were having their own history in Antarctica, not echoing ours? Like how the French don't have a George Washington, they have their own people.

[tellthestory]

Depends what his story's like. Honestly, I'd put better odds on Spongebob having some kind of...Spongebraham Plankton.

[They seem to have basically all the human stuff you'd expect, after all, whereas it kinda sounds like Mumble just does penguin stuff.]

[themuseabandonsyou]

Spongebraham Plankton. [ Orpheus repeats, sounding kind of distant and confused. But what else is new? He shakes it off, after a moment. ]

I still don't really understand any of this? But I guess maybe we'll learn something here that might help.

[ Or it'll just get even more confusing, but he's trying to stay hopeful. ]
