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, I'm feeling a little deterred. You don't do that, do you, buddy?

[The lizard continues sitting there like a lizard.]

[mcfife]

For moral support, we shall keep them. In a desolate time as this, we need all sources of hope we can find.

[He smiles at the lizard.]

Perhaps our sigil shall be of your face.

[tellthestory]

Ha! We could paint lizards on everything, that'd be fun. Prettier than that weird groundhog.

[mcfife]

Lizards versus the groundhogs, the battle of our lives!

[And they need a war song for themselves, the:]

Deep in the Gershwin dungeons
An ancient foe will rise
A bolt of lighting appears and a voice booms through the air
These are the spells of The Wizard
But we refuse to fall
A special weapon to end this all:

Lizards!
Scaly and emerald, keepers of honor!
Lizards!
Crawling through tunnels, finding your secrets!
Lizards!
Casting their power, over the tower!
Lizards!
Guardians of life!

[tellthestory]

[Haha, wow, okay! The Balladeer chuckles a little in surprise. This is absolutely not his style of music whatsoever, but Angus is just so earnest about it; he'd feel bad not even attempting to participate!]

Through the machine they travelled!
Into the school they creep!
The lizards are slowly invading!
To join the coming battle,
To finish the story,
To defeat the Wizard and end everything well!

[mcfife]

Lizards!
Scaly and emerald, keepers of honor!
Lizards!
Crawling through tunnels, finding your secrets!
Lizards!
Casting their power, over the tower!
Lizards!
Guardians of
liiiiiife!

[He finishes the song by lifting the lizard into the air, displaying its glory to all.]

That's it! We will be the lizard warriors, fighting the forces of evil. How does that sound?

[tellthestory]

Ha! That sounds fun!

[It is fun! Let's make some lizard posters or whatever this entails!]

[mcfife]

We will need our own uniforms, however we may make it.

[Guess who has no sewing skills?]

[tellthestory]

Oh, no, I can't do that.

[Same here!]

Too bad no one's dorm color is green, or we could just use those. [...] I guess the color for the whole school is supposed to be green?

[mcfife]

Why did they not chose a lizard in the first place? [It's so obvious.] Or is the green meant to represent the rolling meadows of the groundhog's home?

[tellthestory]

Ha, maybe? I don't know how they choose these things - do you think it was actually a school at some point before this?

[mcfife]

I...suppose? I have visited boarding schools before, but they look nothing like this. I thought it could be that I had only the most prestigious magical academies.
