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! ))

This is Will!

[ she gestures to the deer ]

Will Graham, to use his full name.

I'm - maybe we should check the kitchen? For soda? [ says Orpheus, meekly trailing behind the SQUIP as it rifles through everyone's stuff. ] I don't think Lumpy Space Princess is going to help you if you keep doing that.

[ And he looks at her and mouths, ] I'm sorry.

[voicerights]

I need the chemical mixture in the soda. The ice cream may share its flavor, but- it didn't work.

[That, or the activation wore off. IS THERE ANY ICE CREAM HERE IT CAN TEST WITH...]

[mayavericks]

A bear?

[Maya has never seen a bear. Not in person, at least.]

So what did you do after?

library

[tellthestory]

You looking for something in particular?

[The Balladeer is here! Though he seems to be hanging out in the fiction section, browsing the shelves.]

[brokeforgood]

Something dangerous? [Farrah looks anxious, and she passes Rum Tum from hand to hand.]

Like, how dangerous?

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine stays glaring at Hester, the whole time. Particularly when she mentions the Wizard. Who cares what the Wizard thinks? Who cares about that bastard who kidnapped him? Is she really trying to express that to them?

But for once she swallows down her anger. She has to think rationally about this. Like— like with the bear. Hester's the bear— no. No, this whole...situation is the bear. Connor's memories. So she just has to make herself bigger. ]

Thank you. [ She doesn't sound too thankful, though. She simply pulls Connor over to the chairs. ] Come on. Just sit with me for a few minutes?

[barberic]

A record, of those of us still here.

[In case they don't make it. Or others are brought here after they escape. At least, he assumes that's what she's intending, even if it's a bit too grim to say aloud.]

That's a very good idea, pet.

[barberic]

[Benjamin stands as Elle continues to check Bruiser, offering her a hand up when she stands.

He smiles at the pup.]

Hello there, little fellow.

[His hand being approximately half the size of this tiny dog, he offers the knuckles of two fingers for him to sniff.]

You're going to be Miss Elle's fearsome protector, are you?

i'm so sorry

[sugarlumps]

Oh glob, do not talk about the glistening dews of my woman's body! That's gross! Stop being gross!

[sugarlumps]

Orpheus! You're a good guy, you'll defend me, right?

[...she is still hitting the SQUIP.]

[barberic]

[Farrah and Connor...]

They're so young... [He thinks about his own missing years, and how that would make Johanna about their age.]

They deserve better than this. Any of this. I'm sure their parents are worried sick.

[yourattention]

You really didn't have to oust her like that.

[He sits when she tugs him over but his voice is still quiet. If Peregrine's afraid that he'll disappear if she lets go, he's doing his level best to fade into the background.]

It's just... it's just some memories.

[I'm erasing myself from the narrative—

No. No, he's right here. He's right here, and he... it's not like that. He'll. He'll just apologize to Miguel when they get out of here and everything will be fine. It's not. It's not the end of the world.]

[voicerights]

I wouldn't touch your body even if you swallowed me down!

[mayavericks]

[Maya furrows her brows for a moment. Oh right. Mahiru.]

A friend of yours, then?

[mayavericks]

[She hesitates a moment longer.]

A knife.

jesus fuck

[themuseabandonsyou]

[ Orpheus looks back and forth between Lumpy Space Princess and the SQUIP a few times, trying to parse the situation, before just deciding the best course of action is to get the SQUIP out of here. He grabs its arm and starts trying to just. Gently guide it out of the room. ]

I don't think we're going to find any Mountain Dew here? We should really go. Now. Please?

[barberic]

[That gets a chuckle out of him.]

I would say that my Johanna would never, but then, I'm rather biased. But nothing she could ever do would make me love her less.

[He smiles, almost more to himself, and then shakes his head and tunes back in.]

Listen to me, rattling on. Thank you for this. [He holds the cat up slightly.] If I find anything else that's beyond my frame of knowledge, I'll bring it straight to you.

[brokeforgood]

[Good thing Rum Tum’s a stuffed cat, or he’d be yowling and scratching her apart for the grip she has on him.]

Ugh! They’re everywhere lately! [Shes trying to be brave by playing it off as annoyance.]

[mcfife]

Not me personally. My ancestors. The Spaceknights of Crail kept watch over him while in cryogenic sleep. There were his band of chaos wizard cultists we have to deal with first.

I have only directly fought him twice. The first was unsuccessful, the but the second time, I dealt the killing blow.

[fourbutts]

Mostly I watch a lot of... you know, Broadway shows touring in Chicago. Guess this isn't as big overseas, if we have it in my world.

[ Damian has taken her to several musicals. She could like 3.5 wall so many characters with her approximate knowledge. ]

I'm digging her uh. Motivation.

[sugarlumps]

Yes! He should get out! And stop creeping on innocent young maidens!

bruiser

[sugarlumps]

Oh my glob, are you being attacked!?

[THIS IS AN EMERGENCY THE VENDING MACHINE HAS ATTACK RATS]

[brokeforgood]

Yeah, people die when they get stabbed!

[feudalladyshandmaid]

...Oh. Whoa, hey...

[The way Farrah, on the whole, just immediately shrinks tugs Cassandra forward. Very quickly, she joins her on the risers, sinking down to her level.]

Okay, you... died? [That's a tough pill to swallow, but it's even harder for Cassandra. Just not for the same reasons as others.] Or, maybe you almost did! Maybe whatever the Wizard did saved your life.
