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! ))

I like to think so. [he'll offer her a cup, then] Though I might be biased, seeing as I made it myself.

[defyingfrigidity]

Very impressive, considering our current situation. [She laughs, taking the offered cup.] Though I'm more worried about the alcohol in it. I've never really indulged in anything other than a few sips of wine on rare occasions. I can't be sure how I'll, ah... react to it.

[violentenvies]

If it's any reassurance, short mead is not particularly strong due to the rather short time it's had to age.

[defyingfrigidity]

Hm... that is true...

[... Oh, what the hell? If they're trapped in a mysterious facility where they've been encouraged to kill others, she might as well take these chances to try new things. While she still can.

Besides, she's norse. It would be just embarrassing if she refused to drink the drink of her people. So without further ado, she lifts the cup and takes a large swig of it - not to down the whole thing in one go, because she still has manners she hasn't quite loosened up just yet.]

... Oh! It's very sweet! [Which. You know. Honey and all. But she wasn't really expecting it to be like that.] Amazing that you were able to make all of this on such short notice.

[Salieri looks pleased by the praise]

Ah, yes, well...hence the term short mead. Most mead needs at least two weeks minimum to ferment, but this one needs only five days to be drinkable.

[defyingfrigidity]

[Hmm. Elsa takes another sip.]

Is there much difference in how it tastes? Or is it just how potent the alcohol in it is?

[violentenvies]

A bit of both. It allows the flavors of the herbs to better disperse in the mead, as well as makes it stronger.
