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! ))

[...Yeah, the deer skin gives him pause when he's walking by.]

See, now that's just dark.

[comeandfindme]

It's just a deer skin. Weird it was in a vending machine, but like...people hunt deer all the time.

[disharmonizes]

Yes, just skin, a perfectly normal and reasonable turn of phrase. Eugh...

Sometimes I almost forget how grim some dimensions can get.

[comeandfindme]

[ She looks at him fully, up and down. ]

Wow. Didn't think you'd be one to get precious over something like this.

[disharmonizes]

Well, I'm not the biggest fan of the word "precious" being used to describe me, ever, but I'm also not a big fan of all... this-- [gestures at the deer skin] --so I suppose I'm at an impasse.

When you're from a dimension that has sapient deer prancing around, this is just a little... eugh.

[comeandfindme]

[ Okay, that's surprising! ]

You've got deer people where you're from?

[disharmonizes]

Mostly horses, but some deer. And cows, yak, dragons, etcetera.

[comeandfindme]

[ And so, Peregrine looks at the skin in her hands, thinks for a moment. ]

Oh, jeez.

[ YEAH. ]

[disharmonizes]

Yeah, I'm sure you can see how that might be unsettling.

[comeandfindme]

Uhh. [ Light grimace. ] Sorry. I can just...take this away?

[disharmonizes]

Probably for the best, yes, thank you.

[He knocks on the vending machine.]

Here's hoping this won't be a running thing.

[comeandfindme]

[ She just. Grimaces. ]

Well... Maya kinda...already...got one...?

[ SORRY DISCORD OH NO THIS IS AWKWARD NOW. ]

[disharmonizes]

[He just blinks. And... carefully takes his hand away from the vending machine.]

Ah.

[Maybe giving it a slightly disgusted look now.]

Note to self, be very careful with this thing. For once.

[comeandfindme]

Sorry.

[ Peregrine is already trying to fold up the deer skin and just. Hold it behind her back. ]

[disharmonizes]

Crossdimensional cultural differences at play, I'm sure it happens all the time.

[comeandfindme]

...Probably!

[ This is so weird for her and above her pay grade. ]

[disharmonizes]

Probably. Maybe.

Here's hoping the rest of the deer doesn't come out next.

[comeandfindme]

Don't even joke.

[ this is gonna be real funny when a whole prop deer pops out next week ]

[disharmonizes]

Perhaps the deer has left a ghost around here somewhere, haunting the school.

[comeandfindme]

Of course it hasn't, ghosts aren't real.

[disharmonizes]

Well, someone should tell the deer ghost that, I don't think it got the memo!

[comeandfindme]

Uggh, you’re the worst.

[ …She doesn’t sound like she means it though?! ]

[disharmonizes]

The best at it, in fact. The yearbook says as much.

[comeandfindme]

UUUGHHH—

[ She forgot. About his title. ]

[disharmonizes]

[Exactly the sort of reaction he loves.]

See? It's accurate.
