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, it's always the doors, isn't it? They're so popular! I think I know who's going to be prom queen this year, at this rate.

[Discords crossing his arms, looking down as Varian's measuring away.]

So, any breakthroughs in the door sciences?

[alchemistake]

[Oh sarcasm, he loves it.]

Laugh while you can...it may not look like much is going on, but I'm going to figure a way out of here. It's not like you can permanently lock a door. There's got to be a way to get through it.

[Brute force isn't enough. He's going to have to see if he can figure out a more technical way through.]

And if that doesn't work, there are other exits. Windows, vents...

[disharmonizes]

Oh, permanently, probably not. Never say never and all that. Semi-permanently, well, there's plenty of ways to ensure that.

It all depends on what method they used.

[Brute force is so much funnier, though. He liked seeing everyone rush at the doors. It was hilarious.]

Maybe you could burrow through the ground.

[alchemistake]

[It might be a suggestion made in jest, but honestly?]

You know...that's not a bad idea.

[Oh no.]

I mean, I'd need to build something that could do that, but it's doable. Maybe a big drill...

[He's writing furiously now, jamming the tape measure in his pocket as he stands back upright.]

[disharmonizes]

[...He just idly taps the floor with his shoe.]

Well, I certainly won't stand in the way of anyone living their moleman dreams.

The floors are rather monotonous this way, anyway. Breaking them open might liven things up a little.

[alchemistake]

Monotonous? The floor?

[Varian looks up at Discord with a raised brow.]

Somebody sounds less worried and more...bored.

[disharmonizes]

Oh, extremely bored. School is just about one of the most dull settings you can get. Any of the fun chaos you get from putting this many people from different places together is kind of undercut by all that.

[alchemistake]

When you say "chaos"...do you mean, like. Pranks and stuff?

[disharmonizes]

Pranks, disorder, lawlessness, anarchy, bedlam, and an overall total state of pandemonium. All sorts, really!

I am the Lord of Chaos, after all, so it comes with the job.

[It helps when you really, really love your work.]

[alchemistake]

Oh! Oh.

I must have...missed that in the yearbook, haha...

[Because whereas one could easily just assume Discord here is fucking with him, Varian has a healthy fear of weird magic. Especially anything that could be described as chaotic.]

Guess this whole "kidnapping" thing fits into that pretty well, huh?

[disharmonizes]

Decently well. I almost have to admire the audacity to put me in here with the rest of this delightful little collection of characters.

...Almost.

[He'd be more pissed if he hadn't like, just been stuck in stone.]

[alchemistake]

[You win some, you lose some.]

Yeah, I'm...not all that surprised somebody got me here without my knowledge, but they must be pretty powerful to nab you.

[Which is making the Wizard theory all the more likely. Hester probably isn't pulling the wool over their eyes on that one.]

[disharmonizes]

Very powerful, indeed! And nullifying all my magic, too, somehow.

If it wasn't for that, I could snap my fingers and erase those doors right out of existence. [...] If I felt like it, anyway.

[alchemistake]

[IF he felt like it, he says...]

Guess keeping us all captive here would be more chaotic than the alternative. But isn't that also, like...kindof evil?

[disharmonizes]

Only kind of. If you want to get all moral about it.

[alchemistake]

...okay, fair enough.

[Far be it from him to find any moral high ground here when he's literally trying to break public(?) property, here.]

Well, I probably don't have to tell you to keep trying your powers. If they end up coming back to you at all, it might be useful...if not to get us out, in some other way to get back at our captors.

[disharmonizes]

Oh, trust me, once I have my powers back, everyone will know right away.

[That's not ominous!]

In the meantime, however, I'll just use more mundane matters to cause some trouble for them. Without breaking their precious rules, of course.

[alchemistake]

[Trouble, huh...

...he shouldn't. He knows he shouldn't. But Varian just can't help but want to brag, just a little.]

Man, I sure do wish I could show you some of my alchemy right about now. I think I have a few concoctions you'd enjoy.

[He looks back at the door, imagining how far he'd be able to get with it if he had access to his old chemicals.]

My favorite is the compound I created for use as a pest trap. Anything that gets stuck in it is gonna be glued in place basically permanently without the antidote, also made by me.

[disharmonizes]

[...Okay, honestly, that shouldn't be so intriguing but right now he has very little to work with and he has to get his fun where he can. And he can appreciate energy like this.]

Now that sounds like it's just full of potential. Oho, the fun I could have with that.

You really just use it as a pest trap?

[alchemistake]

Normally, but I'm not going to say it couldn't have practical applications in other situations.

[But you didn't hear it from him.]

I could do a LOT more than that, if I ever get my hands on the right chemicals. I want you to imagine a capsule you can throw into a room to just, bam, immediately clean the whole thing. Amazing, right? Well, my first few prototypes are also prone to sort of...filling the whole place with suds? Like, a lot of them? But it's fine, I mean it's a mess but it's a clean mess.

[disharmonizes]

Now imagine throwing it right into the middle of a fancy get-together. The looks on everyone's faces. And how could they really complain, when you've just cleaned the place up!

[The perfect crime.]

[alchemistake]

Exactly! Absolutely no harm done whatsoever. Just a little mischief, that's all.

[WHY ARE YOU ENCOURAGING THIS...]

[disharmonizes]

Just a little, well. I suppose sometimes an appetizer is nice, too.

But I'm sure you could set your sights even higher than that.

[alchemistake]

Higher?

[No Discord don't be a bad influence on impressionable young minds-]

How so?

[disharmonizes]

Thinking just a little bigger than pest control and cleaning gadgets. Let's say you had all the time and resources you wanted.

What would you do then?
