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! ))

[ Eurydice looks back up at Orpheus, eyes wide, and she's pretty sure he's thinking what she's thinking: that could happen at any time. The seasons change so quickly, these days. It's all wrong, but there's nothing Eurydice can do about it. ]

Then we'll just have to prepare here. There's so much food; I'm sure no one would notice if we saved some of the cans. There are spare clothes here, too. As long as we can take them with us when we leave, it'll be fine.

[ Orpheus looks similarly concerned, because it really could come at literally any time. Lady Persephone arrived not that long ago, but Lord Hades could come back for her any day. ]

Right. I don't think anyone except Mumble is from a place where any of that is in short supply? So the others probably wouldn't mind us taking whatever we can carry, when we can leave.

[ When they can leave. Not if. ]

And I've been working on the song, too. The one that's going to put the seasons right. Maestro Salieri and Maya have been helping me with it, so maybe I'll have it finished by the time we go home.

[ Eurydice smiles a little at the mention of Orpheus's song. This time, she's smiling for real -- like a tiny flower blooming in the snow. Eurydice doesn't believe in a lot, but she believes in Orpheus. ]

That's great. I'm sure you will. I can focus on stocking up on food, so that you have more time to write. [ Hopefully, that takes off some of the pressure. This is good. This is a plan, and it's practical. That's always how Eurydice has managed, and she's survived this long. ]

[ Orpheus nods, feeling some of the weight of what's going on lifted at how confident Eurydice sounds in his work, feeling like he could do anything, as long as she believes in him. He breaks into a genuine smile of his own, and takes her hands in his, and sings; ]

I swear when we go home, I won't just give you roses
I will make the fields bloom, and you will never be lonely
Even if the sun stopped waking up over the fields
I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time
So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side
