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! ))

The melody is simple but poignant and the accompaniment from the guitar allows the vocal line to float above it, which Orpheus's falsetto does so seamlessly and with surprising volume, one would almost think he was a countertenor. There's something of an aching longing in the music; a yearning for something beautiful long past. It feels like it wraps around his lungs and squeezes, ties his stomach into knots with the bittersweet emotion of it, and Salieri finds himself openly staring, absolutely mesmerized by Orpheus's performance.
As the last note of the guitar dies away, he realizes even that his eyes feel as though they're stinging and he blinks them rapidly to will away the wetness there, sucking in a breath, momentarily speechless]

It isn't finished yet. [ he says, a little sheepishly. ] There's still a few things missing. It has to be perfect. But, did you like it?
no subject
What a question.
And yet, it still requires an answer. Salieri clears his throat, trying to gather himself back together and effect some kind of decorum]
I, ah...yes. It was [sublime] impressive. I enjoyed it very much. [which is very much an understatement] You composed that yourself?
no subject
Some of it - la la la la la la la - is the song Lord Hades sang to Lady Persephone, the first time they met. I didn't know that when I started writing, it just came to me in a dream. But the rest of it, I wrote, yes.
no subject
Salieri finds himself immensely warmed by that simple fact alone, and cannot quite help the small smile that curls the corners of his mouth as his eyebrows arch a little in disbelief]
It came to you in a dream? Somehow, I believe it.
[there's a crinkling at the corners of his eyes as that smile widens slightly]
But truly, Monsieur Orpheus, I am immeasurably impressed. Your talent is simply fantastic.
no subject
Thank you! I've been working on it for a really long time, and when it's done - when I get it right - it'll put the seasons right again. I just have to find out what's missing.
no subject
Put the seasons right?
If I may, what is wrong with them?
no subject
[ That isn't happening everywhere, or everywhen, or whatever's going on here. ]
Lord Hades and Lady Persephone are, um. Having some problems, with their marriage, and it means she's been showing up later and later every year and leaving earlier and earlier. So winter's been getting longer and colder, and summer's been getting hotter and shorter, and spring and fall basically don't happen anymore. It's been causing a lot of problems.
[ He frowns, thinking about how much of a struggle last winter was, before shaking it off and fixing a smile back on his face. ]
But I think I can fix it, if I get this right!
no subject
I see.
Well, I don't know if I can be of any assistance but, should you wish it, I would be more than willing to help you try and discover what is missing.
no subject
I'd really appreciate that! I've been stuck for a while, but maybe having someone else look it over would help. [ And a more professional touch couldn't hurt, either. ]
no subject
Perhaps tomorrow, or the next day we could look at it? Perhaps discuss more in depth what feels wrong about it, to you?
no subject
[ Orpheus slides the guitar around on its strap so that it's resting on his back and takes a polite sort of half-nod, half-bow. ]
