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! ))

Congratulations on your recent marriage, then. [he'll offer her a small smile at that]

I'm sure you're eager to start your life together.

[howtheworldwas]

Thank you.

[ Her smile returns, a little stronger this time. She's very excited, and hopeful, too -- for the first time in a while. Her optimism is cautious, but it's there all the same. ]

I am. I think...things are looking up, even if we are all stuck here for a little while.

[considering the mythology, there's certainly a bit of doubt in his mind, but he absolutely does not want to burst her bubble or think about that too much. Perhaps things will go differently for them in their version, or so he likes to think. Whatever Rapunzel mythology Varian is related to has changed significantly, so why not Orpheus and Eurydice's?]

I'm glad to hear that. I know Monsieur Orpheus is working on a composition to bring balance back between Lord Hades and Lady Persephone...[he glances at her] If you don't mind me asking, what is your vocation, that has seen you travel so much?

[howtheworldwas]

[ Her vocation? Eurydice's job prospects are nonexistent, and have been for years. In her world, most people's are. Salieri must really be from somewhere else. She snorts, almost amused and definitely a little bitter. ]

It's so I can find food. When one town dries up, I move onto the next. Sometimes I can pick up the odd job here or there, but I don't think that's what you meant.

[ Her comment about the apples might now make a bit more sense. ]

[violentenvies]

[...oh.

Oh.

THAT will make him go quiet for a moment.]

Not...precisely, no. [. . . . .] Forgive me, but...is there some measure of calamity happening, then, where you and Monsieur Orpheus are from?

[howtheworldwas]

[ Oh, now that gets a huff of a laugh. ]

Yeah, you could say that.

Weather ain't the way it was before
Ain't no spring or fall anymore
It's either blazing hot, or freezing cold
Any way the wind blows.

[violentenvies]

[that'll certainly garner a frown of concern, as Salieri picks up the tune]

And is there anything that you can do
When the weather takes a turn on you?

[howtheworldwas]

[ Eurydice shakes her head. ]

Nothing, except hurry up and hit the road. [ She shrugs. ] It's been like that for years. I manage fine. [ sure, jan ]

[violentenvies]

I see. All that traveling...[...] Until you met Monsieur Orpheus, of course?
