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! ))

Is that so?

[he's going to pour himself a cup of tea as well, adding a couple spoonfuls of sugar to it]

Congratulations, then. That is surly exciting for any performer to improve their art.

[mayavericks]

[A shrug.]

It is simply the way it is. If we do not improve, we are replaced.

[violentenvies]

[for a moment, there's a brief pause, a second of hesitation as he thinks about the title he was given.]

...true enough.

[mayavericks]

Fear not, Maestro. I have it on good authority that there will be no replacing you.

[Just... You know. Actually, don't worry about it.]

[violentenvies]

[that...is not what he expected. His attention refocuses on her, then, blinking once]

...is that so. [he makes sure his tone is only mildly curious, not showing any of the sudden desperation he feels for information that may counter what his title and fact have been saying]

[mayavericks]

Do you recall when I told you that it was an honor to receive praise from someone as esteemed as yourself? [She tilts her head just so.]

I recognized the aria you gave me. I have studied your work previously, Salieri-sensei. You made an incredible mark upon the musical world.

1/2

[violentenvies]

[That's...a surprise, to be honest. One can always hope that what they do and their compositions survive past them but...to hear that she not only knew of the aria (the complete aria), but had studied his work, it's not a relief to have the things he'd been turning over and over again in his head for the past several days proved false, but also there's a swell of pride at knowing that his music has reached such far places as Japan.]

2/2

[violentenvies]

[he huffs out a small chuckle, then, ducking his head briefly, before raising it again]

I... [Really, what does he say to that, exactly]

Thank you, Mademoiselle Maya. I cannot say it's not a relief to hear such a thing. Moreover, I'm flattered that a musician of your caliber and dedication would have studied my music enough to recognize an aria even before I've finished composing it. [the corner of his mouth curves into a small smile, that last part said with a mild humor]

[mayavericks]

It is something you deserve to hear. There are many things to doubt and fret over right now -- let your legacy not be one of them.

[violentenvies]

I will admit, it is a weight off my mind. [he huffs a small chuckle, considering his tea cup a moment]

I cannot deny that this entire situation has been nothing but madness and strangeness since our arrival however...[he lifts his head again] If nothing else, I can say with certainty that I will always consider myself quite fortunate to have met you, Mademoiselle.

[mayavericks]

I feel the same.

[She sips her own tea for a moment.]

You are a remarkable man, Maestro. I am better for having had the opportunity to meet you.

[violentenvies]

I'm glad you think so.

[there's a sincere warmth in his tone]

You're not only a remarkable young lady, but a remarkable performer. I wish I could be there to see your inevitable rise to stardom, but I feel privileged to at least be able to see you perform, and my own composition at that.
