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! ))

They would certainly have the funds to do so. Equipment like in those areas is certainly not inexpensive.

...do you think if perhaps we can locate the theater, it will provide us with a possible exit?

[comeandfindme]

[ She hesitates. ]

I don't know. It's a theory, but... I wouldn't put all my eggs in that basket.

[violentenvies]

[he nods in agreement to that]

Mark it as a possible theory but keep looking, then. [he blows out a huff] And the fact that our hosts have not been forthcoming certainly does not make it easier.

[comeandfindme]

...They're not gonna tell us anything. We gotta find it out ourselves.

[violentenvies]

True enough. And who's to say that whatever they told us would be truthful in any measure.

[he sounds a bit frustrated, though he arches an eyebrow at her]

If perhaps we could somehow organize ourselves to search certain areas, perhaps we could discover more, however...we're a bit like herding cats sometimes, I believe.

[comeandfindme]

[ okay THANK YOU someone agrees with her re: questioning— ]

What we need is someone who everyone'll listen to. But...I dunno if that's possible with all the...conflicting personalities.

[violentenvies]

Indeed. [there's a slight frown on his face]

We need someone who people not only listen to, but can organize and delegate. If not, we'll never be able to get anything done.

[comeandfindme]

...You and Cass have been calling the meetings. One of you?

[violentenvies]

[he's thoughtful at that, considering]

True...the last one dissolved into a little bit of chaos, but at least we did manage to share a fair bit of information.

Perhaps, if it could be more specifically organized...[he trails off again, momentarily] More direction might help.

[comeandfindme]

Well, if anyone could do it. [ She lightly shrugs. ] I know it sure ain't gonna be me. No one's gonna listen to a kid, whoever they are.

[violentenvies]

[he frowns slightly at that]

...speaking of, Mademoiselle Peregrine...considering that, er, skin, do you have much experience with these sorts of things?

[comeandfindme]

[ Somewhat warily: ]

Yeah… I’ve spent the last year and a half learning how to be self-sufficient. Live off the land if I have to. Why?

[violentenvies]

Then, say...if we were to create an emergency rations and supplies pack for each person here, you would have an idea of what should go into each one?

[comeandfindme]

[ Oh. That's...a little surprising, and it shows. ]

Uh. Yeah? Yeah. ...I'd be able to figure something out.

[violentenvies]

In that case, would you mind getting me a list of such? Perhaps we can create such rations for everyone so that we are all prepared for whatever might happen.

[comeandfindme]

I can have you a list by tomorrow morning.

[ ...which she would have but /gestures at murder— it's okay we can handwave something ]

[violentenvies]

Excellent. [he seems pleased by that]

I appreciate it very much.

[comeandfindme]

...It's smart. Something I shoulda thought of first thing.

[violentenvies]

...thank you. I suppose that's why we'll all work better if we work together, is it not?

[comeandfindme]

[ Once again... Begrudgingly, Peregrine admits: ] I guess so.

[violentenvies]

That's the spirit. [he's mildly amused at her begrudging tone, but he'll tuck that away. No need for her to think he's making fun of her or anything.]

Now, I believe I do need to get back to composing, but I'll look forward to that list, then.
