Week Two

[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! ))

[Maya smiles thinly. She isn't surprised that Orpheus, or anyone else in their "class" might have thought it was a worthwhile performance. They had no way of knowing better.]

I fully intend to continue to improve. It is what I have always done, and it is what I will continue to do. I will not let Salieri-sensei down again.

Sometimes that's all you can do. [ Orpheus says, serious and sympathetic. ] Have you talked to him about it yet? I may not have seen anything wrong with your performance, but it's his show. He probably has some feedback that could help.

I plan on it as soon as possible

[Still, Salieri looks pleased enough with everything else happening. She doesn't want to bring down his mood by bringing up her own failings.]

But I know that I am better than the way I performed today.

[ Orpheus nods. ]

It's really hard, knowing that you should be able to do something and not being able to do it just right. I've been feeling kind of similar about something I've been working on for a really long time? So I hope you can work out what you need to do to be better, even if I thought you did great.

[Well... At least someone understands. In any case, she's eager for a subject change so... don't mind her latching on to that little detail there.]

What have you been working on?
themuseabandonsyou: (looking down)

[personal profile] themuseabandonsyou 2021-06-08 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
I've been trying to write a song. It's for Lord Hades and Lady Persephone, so it has to be absolutely perfect, but nothing I try seems to come out right.

[ He shakes his head, frowning, and leans against the table. ]

It's like I can feel the shape of what it should be, but no matter what I do, it doesn't quite line up. I've talked to Maestro Salieri about it a little, and that helped, but it's still not there yet.

When you are ready, you should show me what you have. I imagine I could provide some feedback.

[Please let her feel useful after this abysmal day.]

[ Orpheus nods. ]

I'd be happy to. It's a big part of why I wanted your advice on singing. I don't think I'm bad at it? But I've never had any real training.
mayavericks: (Shining Brighter!)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-08 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
It makes sense now. [She stands up just a little straighter.]

Very well. I would be pleased to teach you. I apologize for neglected the duty previously.
themuseabandonsyou: (smile)

[personal profile] themuseabandonsyou 2021-06-08 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, don't worry about it. It's been kind of busy, here.

[ Between the rehearsals and everyone trying to make sense of what's going on. Orpheus does notice that Maya seems to have lightened up a bit now that they're off the subject of her performance, though, and carries on with a little more enthusiasm. ]

I think I'll only get one chance to play it for them, so I'll need all the help and practice I can get. It's really important that I get it right.

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-08 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. It's not unlike an audition -- you only have one moment to capture everything you have to offer. I understand that very well.

[She nods to herself.]

If you would like, you can send me notes of what you have so far. I would be happy to review them. Or you can perform first -- whichever is easiest.
themuseabandonsyou: (smile)

[personal profile] themuseabandonsyou 2021-06-08 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure! The machine in the cafeteria actually just gave me back everything I'd written down on it, so I can show you the earlier drafts too, in case there's anything in there worth revisiting. I don't have it on me right now, but we can look over it together some time later.

Tomorrow morning, then.

[It's not as if anything bad has ever happened on a Tuesday, right?]
themuseabandonsyou: (grin)

[personal profile] themuseabandonsyou 2021-06-09 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely! We can meet in the band room, if no one else is using it. And thank you, I really appreciate it.
mayavericks: (The Star Soaring Down is But One)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-09 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, Orpheus-san. It will be my pleasure.
themuseabandonsyou: (grin)

[ He nods, smiling. ] If it's alright with you, I'm going to go congratulate Maestro Salieri. But I'll look forward to seeing you then and working with you!

[ and then they didn't ]
