Week Three

[stagemanagers]

[Last week, some shit went down! Salieri's scene went off without a hitch, but the good mood didn't last. The first motive was a bit of a doozy, and yet it didn't even have anything to do with the eventual accidental death of Mumble Happyfeet! At least Sissi was already pretty much dating Death anyway, right? She's probably fine, wherever she is.

This week, new menus have been posted in the cafeteria. But, more importantly, it seems that other new information has emerged. Everyone wakes on Sunday with some new memories - or are they old ones? - floating around in their heads. Maybe there was something to your discussions of time travel after all. Maybe there was someting to the Wizard's knowledge of the future.

Regardless, you're still stuck in here. At least there's some new places to explore this week. Maybe you'll find something helpful.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

(( Be sure to submit your memory regains and your AC for this week! Hester's office hours and the merch booth also remain available! ))

Comments

Oh- yeah!

[Never mind his issues or his now-bandaged hand, Maya just said the magic word.]

I found a "car" in the auto shop! That's what Peregrine said it was. LSP mentioned cars but she didn't really explain what they were? ...not an automaton, by the way.

It's more like a steel carriage...without horses.

Rodgers Dorm

[ Orpheus, already awake and about to follow Eurydice out the door, turns and gives Spongebob an incredibly heartbroken look. ]

Um. A-about that.

[She had no right. It's easier to believe when he says it-- and she forces back the excuses she continues to try and offer for Riley. Farrah knows he's right, deep down, and she hates it.

If she didn't deserve it, it makes no sense. She allows him to pull her into his arms, and it is the slightest comfort-- even though she knows that not even he can protect her from her doom.]

I'll be better. [It's all she can say, between her tears.]

[fourbutts]

Well...

[ Since she asked! ]

Don't be fooled by the pink
She is not playing dolls
She is stalking the halls
For the thrill of the kill

Every person in school
Is aware of her stare
When she tosses her hair
They go perfectly still

All their eyes say, "don't attack me."
Watch them sweat and pant and shake
Every food chain has its acme
Regina George eats steak

Regina George became the most popular girl in school by tossing every other girl in it under the bus. Including me. Someone had to stand up to her eventually.

[brokeforgood]

For how long? Before-- someone else-- [She can't shrink anymore. So she just sits there, with her head hanging down.]

Sorry. I just... didn't know she hated me that much. I don't even hate me that much.

MEETING

[violentenvies]

[A little before 7pm, Salieri will meet Cassandra in the Cafeteria to get set up for the meeting, so by the time everyone gets there, there's enough paper for note taking if needed, as well as pencils, water and other beverages, and some snacks on the table.

Once everyone's gathered, he'll stand up so he can speak and get this meeting started]

Thank you all for coming. To say that the past few days have been exceptionally trying would be an understatement. What happened to Mumble was a terrible, tragic accident, but I believe almost all of us are in agreement when I say that what happened to Madame Elisabeth was undeserved, especially the horrible spectacle that the entire process was made out to be. [he takes a breath, and lets it out]

With all the events of last week in mind, it is starkly clear to me, as I’m sure it is to many of you, that our situation is even more dire than it seemed. Based on the items we received last Tuesday, it is clear that the Wizard will stoop as low as needed in order to produce the results he desires. Madame Eurydice suggested to me at one point the conservation of our resources, especially food, would be a boon. Admittedly, at the time it was not something I had considered before. Now, I feel it is something that should be a high priority. However, I fully admit to knowing nothing about the process and what might be required. Therefore, I would ask that the people who are more knowledgeable of the ins and outs of food and supply storage and distribution take charge of such a venture, and those that would wish to volunteer to help avail themselves to that person or peoples.

The next item I would like to discuss is that of not only finding a way out, but also the exploration of every nook and cranny of our prison. Again, this is not an area that I am personally knowledgeable in, however I’m aware of several people have been working on such a venture in the time that we’ve been here; I would ask that they share what information they already know, as well as take on any volunteers who would be interested in helping with such, perhaps breaking volunteers into teams if necessary. To this end, I would also suggest another meeting perhaps later in the week to discuss what has been discovered.

Finally, if there’s any new information that has come to light, I would ask that it be shared with everyone else, so that we are all on the same page.

Thank you very much for your attention. Now, let us begin:

EMERGENCY PROVISIONS

WHATEVER ELSE

[violentenvies]

[Here's for toplevels about anything else not covered above]

[barberic]

[Absorbed as he is in the photo, Orpheus manages to sneak up on Benjamin, and he startles slightly, looking up.]

Good morning, Orpheus. Look- [He holds up the ambrotype proudly, so Orpheus can come closer and see.] That's my beautiful Lucy. And there, our perfect little Johanna. [His voice cracks slightly on his daughter's name, and he brushes the frame of the photograph reverently with his thumb.]

I can't believe... How could I ever forget her? Look at how sweet she is.

[Was? Is? Does it truly matter, if little girls are always perfect cherubs in their father's eyes?]

[brokeforgood]

Great news, everyone! [jesus christ farrah, behave in your dads meeting and don't cause complete chaos like last time!]

The shitty things in our photos are real! [Okay, or-- she can do that.]

[alchemistake]

[Varian's sitting nearby because of course he is, and since he brought a soda with him (because of course he did) the only contribution he's going to give here is to briefly choke on it when Farrah blurts that out.

EVEN IF IT IS TRUE YOU CANT JUST SAY THAT]

[mcfife]

Well- it's a bad future that the Wizard can make come to pass-

[He's been operating on the assumption that they can fight fate? Um??]

[brokeforgood]

Careful, it'll come out of your nose, and that really burns.

[disharmonizes]

[THIS IS STARTING OFF SWELL]

Excuse me?

[fourbutts]

Well, yeah, and apparently we might be down some memories, if anyone hasn't noticed yet, so!

[ Opens and takes a sip of a soda. ]

That's fucked.

[comeandfindme]

Farrah, just 'cause yours was, it doesn't mean—

[ No, no, no, no, she ain't accepting that! ]

[brokeforgood]

What, like The Wizard decided "Fuck you Farrah, specifically"?

[comeandfindme]

No, I'm not saying that, just- we can't jump to conclusions, here!

[violentenvies]

[Salieri just....stares at her a moment, before he just huffs out a sigh and presses a hand to his forehead]

cw: gore and murder and farrah

[brokeforgood]

I know what it's like to have a knife put in me, and pulled back out! This isn't a far leap!

[alchemistake]

[FARRAH...

Varian beats his chest with his fist for a second, give him a minute.]

F-farrah, you- gotta be more tactful...

[tellthestory]

We are. The same thing happened in my show - the way I understood it, it was a sort of side-effect of coming here?

[themuseabandonsyou]

[ Orpheus stands up. He may not be the one spearheading the effort to keep track of how much food they're using, but he's a little more comfortable with public speaking than his wife. ]

Um. Eurydice, Peregrine, and I have been keeping track of how much food we use each day and how much comes in each week. It seems like things that we're low on restock on Sunday mornings so far? But only that, and like Maestro Salieri said, the Wizard may stop that if he thinks it'll help with what he's trying to do to us.

I'm not really sure what we can do about it, though. It seems like our main food source aside from what's in the kitchen is what comes out of the vending machines? Including the, um. Strange one. That's been pretty consistent? But who knows if we can rely on it. What would be best is if we could get outside and hunt or forage, but...

[ you know ]
