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'm not a person, though. Not like Farrah or someone, if I die then -

[Well. Who would that even affect? The Player, he supposes, but she's the only one.]

I don't know. If I'd died in my show, there'd be no way around it. I don't...maybe this is just scripted, too, and there's some big narrative reason. [is it a metaphor? god, it's a metaphor, isn't it]

[ Peregrine glares at him, then she leans down and pinches whatever skin she can reach. ]

[tellthestory]

Ow!

[wHY]

[comeandfindme]

That hurt? Congratulations! You're a freaking person! It matters if you get hurt, or die!!

[tellthestory]

Okay, geez!

[Though the Balladeer still looks rather conflicted about it as he glances away, down the hall. He knows he is different; Peregrine believing that or not doesn't change it. If it makes a narrative point, then killing him off only makes sense.

It's...nice of her to say, though.]

...thanks.

[comeandfindme]

You're welcome!

[ Still a little aggressive... Peregrine sighs, really heavily. ]

I don't wanna hear anyone saying stuff like...like that it doesn't matter if they die. Of course it matters. You're here, aren't you? You're listening to me talk? You're a person. ...You're not playing a role right now.

[tellthestory]

I...no. I'm not. I don't really know what to make of that, I guess.

[It's like, what's even the point of him anymore? What's he doing here?]

It's just...I've never really had a life, you know? Nobody's really waiting for me back home - the Player, sure, but she's got a lot more going on than just me. I don't have a family or anything.

[comeandfindme]

[ What Peregrine thinks of is Howl. ]

It doesn't matter if you don't have a family. If you don't have...other people, who'd miss you. You're still alive.

[tellthestory]

Mmm. I guess I am.

[He is. He never really thought about that as...the same thing as everyone else's lives, that's all.]

Thanks. I'm - I mean, obviously I wouldn't hurt anyone over it, but...I guess I'm alive right now.

[comeandfindme]

I wasn't thinking you were gonna hurt someone with it. ...I just don't like people talking about themselves like that.
