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! ))

Oh...I see.

[That is unfortunate.]

But you're doing good things for the world, or trying to. I think that's a noble cause, even if your father may not understand what you're doing.

[alchemistake]

Thanks...I'm trying. Honestly, I think I've reached a point where if people don't like what I'm doing, then...that's fine.

[It's partially a lie. His father...he still wants to make him proud. But instead of that stopping him, it just spurns Varian on to work twice as hard.]

[wanderlusttitania]

[That's...]

Well, as long as you're happy...and...I'm certain your father will one day understand that you're only doing what you love, and that there's nothing wrong with what you're doing.

As long as you're yourself, in the end, things will work out, right?

[:D?]

[alchemistake]

[EVERYTHING, BUBSY. EVERYTHING.]

Yeah...yeah, you're probably right. I just need to try not to think about it so hard. Things will work out.

[wanderlusttitania]

That's right! Your father will come to see the good you can do!

[And then suddenly-]

♪ No matter what you do
I'm sure he's on your side!
And everything you do
Will make him misty-eyed! ♪

[alchemistake]

[The singing, the words...it's encouraging. It definitely won't cause Varian any sorts of doubts in the future, not at aaall.]

When we get out of here, I'll just have to tell him I have a vote of confidence from royalty. That should help.

[wanderlusttitania]

That's right!

♪ You can tell him
I agree!
For I am
Elisabeth, Her Imperial Majesty,
By the Grace of God Empress of Austria,
Queen of Hungary and Bohemia,
Dalmatia, Croatia, Slavonia too,
Galicia, Lodomeria and Illyria-what else? Ooh! ♪

[Oh boy, here comes a few trots as she starts to get into it-]

♪ Queen of Jerusalem, Archduchess of Austria,
Grand Duchess of Tuscany and Cracow,
Duchess of Lorraine, Salzburg, Styria, Carinthia,
Carniola...what else, now?
Oh right-Bukovina, also Grand Princess of Transylvania,
and Margravine of Moravia,
Duchess of Upper and Lower Silesia,
of Modena, Parma, Piacenza and Guastalla-ia!
of Auschwitz and Zator, of Teschen, Friaul,
Ragusa and Zara, but that's not all!
Princely Countess of Habsburg and Tyrooool...! ♪

[...she needs to breathe, hang on]

[alchemistake]

[As Sissi laughs, Varian's expression brightens. Who can blame him? The singing is infectuous. And while he doesn't join in this time, he will lightly clap his hands as she really gets into it to help her keep her place.]

[wanderlusttitania]

[Ok, ok, she's got her breath back, she can do it!]

♪ ...of Kyburg, Gorizia and Gradisca,
Princess of Trento and Brixen, ah
Margravine of Upper and Lower Lusatia
and in Istria, Countess of Hohenems, um
Feldkirch, Bregenz, Sonnenberg,
Lady of Trieste, of Cattaro
and on the Windic March, Grand Voivodina
of the Voivodeship of Serbia,
Queen consort of Lombardy–Venetia
and...and...ET CETERAA!! ♪

Hah...it's a bit of a mouthful, I apologize.

[She laughs again.]

[alchemistake]

Hah! Don't apologize, that was great! Where did you learn to sing like that?

[wanderlusttitania]

We sang a lot growing up! We're not musicians, but it's always been in our blood, I guess!

[alchemistake]

Well hey, if you've got it, flaunt it.

[Varian sings himself, just not always with an audience. Most of the time it's when he's alone...]

Thank you, by the way. That was nice.

[wanderlusttitania]

Of course! I'm sure it's what anyone would do. And I mean every word of it.
