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! ))

I'm glad you think so!

[This is already a victory, even if he only got her to cheer up a little.]

So, other than being excellent inspiration for my jokes, what brings you to this box?

[comeandfindme]

'Cause it started on C and it was in a major key instead of a minor one? ...I don't know a lot about what those mean, but like, I know they exist.

[alchemistake]

Well, you know I'm not at all against some brute force when necessary.

[Varian grins, leaning against the door of the car.]

It's not like the Wizard has come after me yet for trying to get out other ways, so. It's fine, I'm not worried.

[disharmonizes]

Oh, I'm sure it will be the most unique cake you'll ever taste.

[That's not reassuring.]

[disharmonizes]

It's just too difficult for someone as humble as I to imagine, I'm afraid.

[alchemistake]

[Those words definitely won't come back to haunt him Sunday morning, nope-]

...yeah. Yeah, you're right. He'd have reason to actually start taking me and my inventions seriously, then.

[comeandfindme]

Exactly! [ A moment— ] That's...kind of what happened with me and my mom, actually. I showed her I was learning things that were actually helpful, that could keep me alive, and... Well, she's a lot more approving, now.

[ Things that also definitely won't come back to bite Peregrine Sunday, certainly not. ]

[violentenvies]

That's correct. There are certain things that make a scale major or minor, but for now it's much easier to simply hear it.

Try playing from A to A now.

[violentenvies]

[. . . . .]

It has to actually be edible, Monsieur Discorde.

[alchemistake]

True, true...but then it'd be more of a whole kingdom than a castle, wouldn't it?

[violentenvies]

Oh, I'm certain the self-proclaimed Lord of Chaos would know nothing about ego, certainly.

Nor how fragile it can be. [:>]

[comeandfindme]

[ She counts briefly to find A and does so. ]

Is this an A Major scale?

[alchemistake]

[...Salieri, u ok...

But luckily, Varian keeps one of those. Carpenter's pencils? The fat ones, on him at all times, so he pulls it out of his toolbelt with one hand while the other reaches for a scrap of paper nearby he'd been writing notes down on. He'll flip it over so Salieri has free space to write on.]

Is uh...everything okay? Can you not talk...?

[alchemistake]

See, there you go! All you gotta do is just sleep on it. You won't even be able to remember what you were frustrated with in the first place.

[disharmonizes]

Oh, Maestro...

If you need a self esteem boost, you can just ask for one, you don't need to throw hints around.

[alchemistake]

Why do parents have to be all like that, anyway...I know I'm not an adult yet, exactly, but that doesn't mean I don't know what I'm doing, you know?

[He makes mistakes, but adults can make mistakes too.]

[disharmonizes]

It won't be poisonous. Promise.

[violentenvies]

Not quite. Did you hear how it sounded different than the C major? That was A minor.

[disharmonizes]

Technically, if it's all still one building, it can be both at once.

A mega castle-kingdom.

[comeandfindme]

I know. [ Very earnestly. ] ...But it takes them longer. They think they're protecting us, but...they're not. But, like...if my mom could come around... I bet your dad will too.

[comeandfindme]

Huh. But, I didn't do anything weird or different, just...played from A to A. Is...it 'cause of how it sounded?

[themuseabandonsyou]

[ Orpheus nods, rubbing at the back of his neck sheepishly. ]

I'm not really strong, or fast, or clever like most of the other ones I've met, but. Yes, technically.

[comeandfindme]

I never knew— [ No. No, no. We are not dropping that particular bomb over an apron! ] Wow. ...Are... Do you have a longer lifespan or...?

[barberic]

[Benjamin rubs his thumb back and forth on Orpheus' shoulder, comfortingly.]

I think you should talk to her, lad. She knows you. She loves you. And she knows how much you love her. You thought that what you were doing would help too, you just... weren't helping the way she needed you to. Have I got it right?

[themuseabandonsyou]

[ Orpheus's grin grows even broader, at that. ]

Oh, thank you! That's - I'd love the chance to see another world, and I know it's probably not much, if you've been to so many yourself? But if you want to stick around for a little while when you take me and Eurydice back home, we can show you around. The railway stop isn't much, but the people there are kind, and when we do get enough rain for the plants, and the desert blooms, it's beautiful.
