itscurtains | Week One

[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! ))

[ Orpheus thinks for a moment, considering how to answer. ]

Lady Persephone comes through town twice a year on her way into and out of the Underworld, and she spends a lot of time at the bar where I work, so I know her fairly well? She's very kind - she always brings gifts for the people in town on her way up - and she's very straightforward about how she thinks and feels. Sometimes she can be really, brutally honest about things, but not in a mean way? It means she cares. She loves music and revelry and being around people, and she has a bit of a mischievous streak.

[ He smiles a little, thinking about her, but then his expression goes grim. ]

Lord Hades I don't know as well. He only really comes to the surface to tell Lady Persephone to come home, and they argue about it, so I've really just seen him at his worst. [ Or what Orpheus hopes is his worst. ] He seems very serious and stern, though. I have a hard time understanding what he's thinking.

[ A pause. ]

Also, Mister Hermes says he's a terrible boss.

[Salieri listens quietly, thoughtfully, though the last bit makes him huff out a small chuckle. After that though, he's pausing to consider.]

...it is, perhaps, a questionable thought, but...seems that Lord Hades needs something to remind him of not only that nostalgia, but that as relationships progress, they grow and change and that is not necessarily a bad thing, nor does it mean that Lady Persephone isn't going to return.

No, that's a good idea. They've been alive since almost as long as the world has existed as we know it, and were married for most of that? It's natural that things would change, but also that change would be really frightening for them both. All of this has been happening for longer than I can remember, but to them it's all pretty recent? It's only been around 20 years, out of many thousands, if not more.

[ He drums his fingers on the body of his guitar again idly as he thinks. ]

What's the best way to put that into words, though? I'll have to work on it.

I have no doubt that the right combination of words will come to you, the more you continue to think on it. And of course, should you wish a second set of eyes at any time, you may always call on me. It's easy to sometimes feel stuck if you're working on the same piece all the time.

[ Orpheus nods, smiling at the vote of confidence. ]

Thank you, Maestro. I don't think I have anything that's worth sharing right now? But talking about it helped a lot, and I think I have some ideas now.

[ They're just very big ideas to try to condense down into lyrics. But if he can manage it, then it'll fix everything. ]

I'm glad to hear it. [he straightens a bit] In that case, I'll leave you to your work, monsieur, and with well-wishes for its ease of completion.

[ Orpheus nods, smiling a little more genuinely than before. ]

Then I'll talk to you later! And I'll be sure to tell you if I make any breakthroughs.

I'll look forward to hearing of your success. [and with that, he'll take his leave]
