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 will find Benjamin once he's settled, approaching his table with a glass of something different]

Good evening, Monsieur. Is this seat available? [there's a small quirk to the corner of his mouth that hints at a bit of teasing as he gently gestures to a seat at the table with an opened bottle of wine]

[barberic]

[Benjamin blinks his way out of his thoughts, then looks up at Salieri, smiling when he sees who it is.]

By all means, Maestro, it's all yours. [He gestures at the open seat.]

[violentenvies]

My thanks. [he'll take that seat, then, settling into it with a more relaxed air than he's ever displayed thus far. Once properly settled, he lifts his glass in a toast]

Congratulations on your first, and might I say, incredibly successful performance.

[barberic]

[He raises his own cup, relaxing back in his chair and crossing his legs at the knee.]

Merci, Maestro. [He says with a cheerful grin.]

I'm glad you're pleased with how it turned out. And I think the audience had a good time, too.

[violentenvies]

I certainly am quite pleased, but it is even more so a relief to see that the audience enjoyed the fruit of our labors.

[barberic]

I couldn't agree more. Second worst nerves of my life.

Now that it's over, what do you think you'll do? Put on another scene, to keep morale up?

[violentenvies]

[he chuckles a bit at that first bit, looking amused] The first being your wedding, I assume?

[as for the other thing, he pauses to consider, swirling the wine in his glass]

I am certainly considering it. There are other scenes to be written, after all. [he tilts his head a bit, glancing sideways at Benjamin with a small smirk]

And you, monsieur? Would you do it again?

[barberic]

[Does he even need to acknowledge being called out on being a wife guy again, with more than a nod? Obviously his biggest case of nerves was about his wedding. Well, the proposal moreso.

At the return question, he considers, briefly.]

Gladly, sir, if you'll allow it. I found it quite enjoyable, and it made the time pass.

[Then, jokingly:] And besides, I can only cut so much hair before I have to wait for it to grow out again.

[violentenvies]

[that'll make Salieri chuckle]

Well, in that case, I shall do my utmost to provide you an avenue of entertainment in between hair cuts.
