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! ))

At the end of the day, yeah. Some of them had real political motivations too - but you don't do something like that just because of that.

[Plenty of people are passionate about political causes without bringing murder into it!]

Now Charlie - the guy who sang that - he was just nuts. Got mad he wasn't made the ambassador to France. There was no actual reason he would've been, he was basically just some guy.

[violentenvies]

That is complete nonsense. And a man like that was able to get a firearm so easily while escaping the madhouse?

[tellthestory]

I don't think he was ever committed. I mean, he was in a cult for a while...

[violentenvies]

Now that does make sense. Was his attempt successful at all?

[tellthestory]

Yeah, he killed President Garfield. Shot him right in a train station. He wasn't president too long, but he seemed decent from what I know of him - big on governmental reform.

[violentenvies]

Then that's unfortunate that his killer would be driven to such an action.

[tellthestory]

Yeah. Well, they pushed a lot of his agenda through after his death. That sort of thing usually happens - they kill a President thinking they'll be some kind of hero, and then he's just a martyr and everyone loves him.

[He's not upset about it; he just thinks it's sort of...obvious? They ought to have known.]

That's exactly how it happened with Lincoln. Booth still can't accept it, and that was over a century ago.

[violentenvies]

So their purpose was a lost cause in the first place.

[tellthestory]

[The Balladeer snorts in "mocking the Confederacy".]

Yeah, pretty much. Didn't mean a nickel.

[violentenvies]

One would think someone would learn from such displays after such time.

[tellthestory]

People think they're special.

[violentenvies]

[That'll garner a sigh out of him] True enough. The rules apply to everyone except me.
