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! ))

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.]

[themuseabandonsyou]

[ 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]

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]

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.

[mayavericks]

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]

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.

[mayavericks]

Tomorrow morning, then.

[It's not as if anything bad has ever happened on a Tuesday, right?]

[themuseabandonsyou]

Absolutely! We can meet in the band room, if no one else is using it. And thank you, I really appreciate it.

[mayavericks]

Of course, Orpheus-san. It will be my pleasure.

[themuseabandonsyou]

[ 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 ]
