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! ))

[Salieri is relaxed enough that he outright chuckles at that]

Well, Monsieur Discooooorde--[that smirk curls a little wider as he drawls out his name]--coming from you, I'll take that as high praise.

[wow he is in a great mood huh]

[disharmonizes]

[...Okay, this energy is new.]

It's as close to a compliment as you'll ever get from me, anyway.

Now, not that I just came here to state the obvious, but someone's in a good mood.

[violentenvies]

Oh? You noticed?

[dry again] In fact, I'm in such a good mood--[he sits up, leaning forward in his chair, across to the one of the other tables to retrieve a discarded cup]--I'm willing to even offer you a glass of my wine.

[and yep, he sure is reaching to pour him a glass of wine from that bottle]

1/2

[disharmonizes]

[He's about ready with a quip, but then there's that offer and it actually throws him slightly. Just, a brief flicker of some sort of confusion at that offer of wine.

Part tfw you haven't really had alcohol before because you're an immortal chaos being that probably can't even get drunk and what's the point, part--

...]

2/2

[disharmonizes]

[...Part nothing else, of course.

He'll just lean back slightly, grinning casually, as he do.]

Well, if you're offering, how can I refuse?

[violentenvies]

[He'll pour Discord a solid amount of wine, probably more than he deserves, but there it is. And then he'll push the cup across the table a bit towards him]

In that case, here you are then. [he sets the bottle down, reaching out to pick up his own cup, lifting it in Discord's direction]

Santé.

[disharmonizes]

[...He'll just go ahead and take that cup. It's still weird, eating and drinking things that haven't been conjured out of thin air, more for fun snacking or comedy's sake than anything else.]

...Ugh, yes, well. One time only. [He'll lift his cup.] Just because you actually shook the routine up.

[violentenvies]

One time only, of course. [he leans forward so he can clink his glass against Discord's] I'm glad to have provided to a brief, desperate respite from your boredom.

[disharmonizes]

Far too brief! I'm stuck in a routine, it's awful.

[He'll sip some of that wine after the clinking.]

I've never even had a routine before. Other than the comedic kind.

[violentenvies]

Naturally. Sounds absolutely devastating, you poor thing. [he's not even bothering to hide the smirk]

[disharmonizes]

I thank you for your sympathy in this trying time.

[Just, another sip, also not hiding a smirk.]

[violentenvies]

Of course, monsieur. How could I not be? My sympathetic nature is what I'm known for, after all.

[disharmonizes]

Everyone needs a thing. Good on you for finding yours.

[What? Music, what? Never heard of her.]

1/2

[violentenvies]

[Salieri is relaxed enough and in good enough spirits that that garners little more than a blatant eye roll. Not something he'd normally do so obviously, but it seems warranted.]

2/2

[violentenvies]

And you reap the benefits of such. Lucky you.

[disharmonizes]

Oh, yes, that's just what I was thinking, here in this prison of mediocrity and drabness, lacking any of my usual power. How lucky I am.

It's the little things.

[violentenvies]

It's always important to count your blessings, no matter how small, Monsieur Discorde. [smirking again, drawled]

[disharmonizes]

So you're calling yourself a blessing, then?

[violentenvies]

[For a moment, he's tempted to deny it, as one should. That isn't what he meant, precisely, but...well.]

If that is what you'd like to infer, who am I to protest. Quite flattering of you, even, monsieur.

[disharmonizes]

...Aren't we funny.

[Rolling his eyes. He does not look amused, shut up.]

You didn't put me to sleep, so you get a little slack tonight. So if someone here is lucky, that'd be you.

[violentenvies]

Perhaps I am as well. After all, luck need not be restricted to only one person.

[disharmonizes]

I don't usually share, but I suppose I've already made an exception here.

[Drinking more of that wine. He might go in for a refill, this stuff's alright.]

It was a step above being trapped in stone, if you're looking for very high praise.

[violentenvies]

Very high praise? Why, Monsieur Discooord. [yeah he sure does drawl out that "o" again] It isn't like you to butter me up like this. One could even say that you are the one in a good mood.

[disharmonizes]

I'm always in a good mood. Good is just relative! But I'm never in a nice mood.

...Usually, anyway.

[Must be something in the air. Or the water.]

It was still a subpar spectacle in a school... something.

[...He's a little off his wordplay game tonight, for some reason.]

[violentenvies]

[he'll get another roll of eyes for that, but this more more amused as it is, surprisingly, accompanied by a chuckle]

A something indeed. [dryly, gesturing at the room they're currently in.] Not an ideal choice of venue, but beggars and being choosy. [he takes another drink of his wine, setting the cup down, before moving to pour himself some more, before holding the wine up, arching an eyebrow at Discord in question]
