Week Two

[stagemanagers]

[Last week, no murder happened! Instead, a lot of students started work on Salieri's school play, which sounds pretty cool even though it's gonna be short, several people destroyed Bigfoot and got a few mysterious clues, and Orpheus started a fire in the kitchen! All in all, not a bad first week!

Though some people might have gone to talk to Hester, she hasn't made any more public announcements. There's some new papers posted up around the cafeteria, but it looks like it's just your upcoming lunch schedule. Seems like nothing's driving you towards Rule Five except, perhaps, all of the kidnapping and how criminally boring some of you are finding the school. Maybe the Balladeer is right, and you really can just wait this out? Only time will tell!]


Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

(( No new locations this week, since y'all haven't paid in blood! Hester's office hours are still open, as are regains! Make sure to complete your first activity check by Tuesday! ))

SUNDAY

[stagemanagers]

[mayavericks]

[Maya's mostly been a creature of habit thus far. She sings in the choir room, dances in the dance studio, and eventually settles down with a meal in the early evening.

Sunday is... different. It marks a week since their arrival, and that sits uncomfortably in Maya's gut. Though she doesn't mind her routines, she... can't help but want to break them, just to see what might happen.

So she goes to the gym today, after rustling up a decent workout outfit. She runs laps around the court at first, and when that isn't enough, decides to run up and down the bleachers as well.

Still unsatisfied, she eventually makes her way to the scene shop. She rifles through until finds what she's looking for -- a sword. It's very clearly a prop, no actual damaging power, but it's enough for practice. She drags both this and a mannequin to the weight room and --

Well. The sound of sword play, or at least as much as there can be from a one-sided duel, follows. Maya throws herself into the motions, looking less like a dancer and more like a trained fighter -- though some of her flourishes are less by the book.]

weight room

[disharmonizes]

[This room is not really Discord's thing - even more so than the others - so he wouldn't be stopping by if not for those sounds. He can't pass by and not at least check it out.

And... Okay. You know what. The swordplay? He didn't see that one coming.]

See, now, this performance is already waaaay more exciting than the last.

[mayavericks]

[Maya hardly spares a glance toward Discord. She's in the midst of a complicated flurry, humming to herself even as she works.

Eventually, though, she does turn. She wipes the sweat from her brow before placing a hand on her hip.]

You didn't think it was all ballet and ballads, did you?

Weight Room

[employeeoftheyear]

[DEAR NEPTUNE SHE GOT HERSELF A PLAY SWORD THAT'S COOL.]

Hey Maya, are you playing pirates? Can I join?

[Please?]

[mayavericks]

I'm not -- [You know what, no. It's fine.]

Have you... played pirates before? Do you know how?

weight room

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[...Oh. What have we here?

She doesn't want to interrupt someone's training, but she's already fascinated.]

You've got good form, there.

Weight Room

[mcfife]

[Angus watches her theatrically battle a mannequin for a few minutes, then when she pauses-]

A fine warrior and actor, indeed! Do you reenact battles on stage?

weight room

[sugarlumps]

That's not too bad for a princess.

[Yeah, she's just kind of standing there, watching for a moment.]

[howtheworldwas]

[ Eurydice starts the week by waking up early! We admire her energy, honestly. First stop is Rodgers dorm, to make sure Orpheus is all right. Then, it's off to the kitchen with a stack of paper and a pen, doing her usual inventory.

For the remainder of the day, Eurydice will be scouring the school for hidden cameras. Unfortunately, she assumes these cameras are supposed to be larger than they actually are, and on her first sweep, doesn't find too many. So she heads to the scene shop to sketch the camera that she does know exists. If you catch her here, she'll hold up her (rather poorly drawn) sketch, and ask: ]

Have you seen any of these?

Camera hunt

[wanderlusttitania]

Hm?

[Oh....oh. Yeah. Those things...talked about a History Club.]

Not so far, no, I'm afraid mademoiselle. But...I can look for any, if you do need some assistance.

Scene Shop

[mayavericks]

A camera?

[Maya tilts her head.]

Nothing like that. Though if you think someone is watching us, you'd likely be looking for something smaller.]

hidden camera search

[themuseabandonsyou]

[ Orpheus trails along after her, eyes on the ceiling looking for bafflingly tiny cameras like the one the President pointed out. He's... not exactly known for being the most observant man in the world, though, so his contributions are a bit slim. ]

If they're filming us - someone has to collect the reels, right? If they can even fit film reels in something that small.

[ He frowns, trying to imagine it again. Maybe most of the mechanism is embedded in the ceiling itself? ]

Kitchen

[mcfife]

[Here is Angus, searching high and low for any prepared meal that isn't a pizza, when he notices that he has an ally in the kitchen: Eurydice, The One that Got Away!

She has some things that certainly aren't usually used in a kitchen, but he jumps off the stool regardless.]

Hail to you, Eurydice. What is it that you are seeking here?

scene shop

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Squints.]

Apart from that one? [Nods her head towards the camera Eurydice was sketching.] No. They must be pretty well hidden.

kitchen

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine's also taking inventory here, yet she hasn't really spoken to Eurydice a lot. It's...confusing, to know "Orpheus" is here so "Eurydice" is another can of worms she hasn't wanted to open. By now, Peregrine's starting to accept the idea that they aren't kin and maybe might be...the actual people. Which is terrifying and confusing, but also incredibly intriguing, despite her initial reluctance to engage.

Which is why, today, while she's looking through a cabinet, she asks: ]

Have you noticed there's more now? I guess they restock over the weekend.

scene shop

[tellthestory]

[The Balladeer leans over to see the picture and nods.]

I know there's one out in the lobby, too. Farrah and I were laying on the ground there the other day. But honestly, I'd assume Hester or the Wizard know most of what everyone's doing with or without them.

[Comforting!]

[fourbutts]

[ Janis... isn't exactly anti-social, but she continues to mostly keep to herself, if just because, well... that's what she's used to. It's always just her and...

... hm.

But now, a week in, she's gotten bored enough that she's just decided to increase the level of Art Chaos she's willing to make. So she's in the scene shop, just fucking. Grabbing some wood and power tools and the like. She has safety goggles and gloves on and she is on a mission.

It's just less than clear what that mission is as she gets started assembling.... Something. And if anyone comes in, she turns off whatever saw or drill she's working on and: ]

You need the space? I'm, uh, doing some sculpture work.

[ At least that explains the number of nails that have been hammered in?

Later on, she can be found in the costume shop, just sort of... looking through the bolts of fabric. ]

Alright, I vaguely know how to sew, what's the weirdest thing I could make...

[ ... yeah, she's hit the point of boredom. ]

costume shop

[yourattention]

You should cosplay Jigsaw Enoshima, obviously. I'll be... In this fucked up crossover, who's the other twin? The crazy one?

[He doesn't remember Mukuro's name either but.]

[wanderlusttitania]

Why something weird?

[Hmm. Don't mind her, she's looking for more clothing for herself.]

scene shop

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine's looking once again for anything useful she might have overlooked. She looks over Janis'......something and just shakes her head, raising her hands innocently. ]

Nope, sculpt away.

[ genuinely what the fuck is it ]

scene shop

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Hm? Me? No, I don't need the space.

[She brushes off the concern, making her way to the small space where the props were being kept.

Buuut she can pause, just a little. Long enough to see what Janis is working on.]

What are you up to?

scene shop

[tellthestory]

Oh, no, I'm not doing anything.

[He is, in fact, taking a seat on one of the worktables like he wants to watch what is happening here!]

What are you making?

Scene Shop

[alchemistake]

Well, that sure is a lot of nails for a sculpture.

[It's said more in jest than being actually critical, since Varian had already been in here and came by out of curiosity to see what Janis was working on.]

Mind if I ask what, exactly?

Costume Room

[whatyouwant]

Dresses are a good start! Maybe you can sew a basic dress then paint it?
