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! ))

[Varian gestures for the Balladeer to wait- as if he has anywhere he could even be going- before he steps back to look for another guitar. It doesn't take him long to find one, and hey- it is smaller! Much easier for him to deal with than something large and potentially too unwieldy.
He'll pull a chair over with the toe of his shoe before sitting sideways in it, looking at the way the Balladeer is holding his guitar before copying the position with his own.]
Okay, this should work.
no subject
[This is a little odd - he's never actually taught anybody this before, and he doesn't even have lessons of his own to draw on. But he's watched John try and learn the guitar for ages. There's a lot of little tips he banked up and never said, out of...disinterest, or maybe just spite.
The Balladeer stands, still with the guitar, and moves to circle around so that he's sort of leaning over Varian.]
Now, I already tuned all of these, so you don't have to worry about that right now. Here, take a pick... [He digs in his pocket for a moment before producing another. Always keep those around!] ...hold that sort of sideways, so it points at the guitar. Go ahead and strum it a little, see how it feels! You wanna use just the wrist, you don't need to bring your whole arm into it. [He'll demonstrate, just up and down the strings.]
no subject
[Thank you for the tuning, Varian wouldn't quite know where to start with all of that. He'll take the pick that's offered him in hand, holding it as instructed to give the strings a light strum or two.]
Oh yeah, you weren't kidding...it sounds really good.
[Nothing special since it's just a single chord, but hey. Gotta start somewhere.]
no subject
[The Balladeer grins. Nice to see someone starting to appreciate an instrument!]
So the strings go from the thickest on top, to the thinnest on the bottom. That's E, A, D, G, B, and E again.
I LOST MY NOTIF FOR THIS TAG AHHH
E, A, D...got it. Any trick to memorizing where everything is?
no subject
[well this seems very Varian's speed huh]
no subject
Varian laughs, because of course he does.]
Well, that sure is not something I'll be forgetting any time soon, you're right.
no subject
Right? It's really useful! Good to remember the string names, I'll probably reference them a lot.
[And maybe we can handwave some basic guitar lessons, because this is about all I've got!]
