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! ))

[ ....... ]

Are you really good friends?

[ just gals being pals ]

[fourbutts]

Oh yeah?

[ She leans forward over the table, resting her hand on her chin. ]

I like to think I have pretty good taste, yeah.

[mayavericks]

We're --

[She huffs.]

We're rivals.

[howtheworldwas]

A small favor.

[ every little one counts. ]

[Benjamin stopped in on the party in the library earlier in the evening, but was glad to leave the others to it after a bit, confident that Spongebob wouldn't let anyone get murdered on his watch.

By the time Benjamin makes his return to Ambassador, after checking the halls and rooms for stragglers, it's been probably about a couple of hours.]

Not really. [Then, with a small bit of humor:] I hope you weren't waiting up for me.

[voicerights]

[It's quiet for a moment...

...and then, is that a bit of a smile?]

Accepted.

[brb starting to take apart a computer]

[mayavericks]

[Well, Maya's not going to let someone outplay her in Gay chicken. She leans forward as well.]

I should consider myself lucky, then.

[mcfife]

From The Wizard?

cw; description of anxiety attack?

[voicerights]

[It takes a deep breath, shuddering slightly as it does. Symptoms - right.]

Nausea. Increased heart rate. Weakness.

[And now it looks towards him]

This should not be possible.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

I... [Wow, never thought she'd need this.] Okay. I have a friend whose best friend is a chameleon. Maybe... I can offer you some pointers?

[howtheworldwas]

Oh, wow. There are barely any deer where I'm from. They ran out of food to eat a while back, I think. [ Oh, cool, another deer skin. ] That sounds much safer.

[yourattention]

I'm not taking your gross pizza crust, trash panda. Can you even eat that? That cannot be good for you.

[Are raccoons like birds? He knows birds aren't supposed to have bread. Pizza's not even really good for humans so it must also be junk for raccoons, right? Also Ruddiger's already fat so like. He should probably not be eating people food.]

Do you eat salad? Fuck it, come here. I'll make you and your owner food.

[Because he's like 75% sure Varian won't have eaten lunch either.]

[voicerights]

Reactivation.

[It looks up at the Balladeer, rolls an insight roll at +20, then goes to rustle through the next pile of things]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Okay! That's... That's good.

[She lets Spongebob go.]

We don't want anyone blowing up, do we?

[mcfife]

[He waits for him to stop laughing. He keeps going. He's not going to end anytime soon.]

You...do not believe in him. [Will it hear him over its laughter?]

[yourattention]

Yeah, but... has anyone gotten anything out of that machine that doesn't, like, exist? Everything I've seen has been stuff people recognize, but this? [He waves the crumpled email around.] This is just weird and it's weird that the Wizard would, like, specifically target me like that.

[Not impossible, just weird. Like, to what end? What does doing that matter?]

[tellthestory]

Mmmm.

[The Balladeer can't say much to that; he doesn't understand and he knows it. He didn't have family to begin with. The only people he's even known to really, truly die were Sissi and Mumble, and...well. He liked them, they were friends - but he also only knew them for two weeks. That can't be the same thing.

He listens to the lapse in the conversation, the quiet sounds of movement until Howl returns. Dandelion brandy. A tacit apology for hitting so close to home? Opening up a little bit, when he too realized that Brett understood?]

And - Howl?

[tellthestory]

[you definitely know how little that explains for him, don't you]

...I don't know what that means, but maybe you should ask Hester? She's gotten some people stuff.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Cassance glances back, internally pleased to see that she has an audience. For the safety of everyone involved, she lowers the blade, carefully avoiding her friendly snowgie.]

Thanks. [She smiles, chest stuffed with pride, if a bit sheepishly. Applause, really....] I've trained a long time to wield a sword correctly. I was a little worried I'd get rusty staying here without any of my weapons.

1/2

[voicerights]

[Apparently it does, because it throws out its arms and]

Oh-
Everything about him is so terrible
Woaah-
Everything about him made me wanna die!

[comeandfindme]

It wasn't just me. John Francis, Eric, and Woodsley helped too. [ oh but she's so smug though?? ] But, I was the one who coordinated it. D'you know the best way to make a wild animal back down is to intimidate it? You gotta make yourself look bigger than you are.

[mcfife]

Like the empty soda bottles I got?

[tellthestory]

Uh - yeah, sure.

[He kneels down and reaches out to unwrap it. And then immediately sits back on his heels in alarm.]

Oh, that is a big gun! [Surprise! It's a rifle! A 6.5 mm Carcano! Was it one the whole time, or...?]

[fourbutts]

Looks like we both are.

[ And there's only so much longer she can keep dancing around this. There comes a point when you both know the other is gay, you are reading a part in a gay musical for the other girl, and. Like.

Stupid with love
But I can get it

And she leans forward to try to straight up just kiss Maya. ]

[howtheworldwas]

Yeah. [ All good points. Eurydice bites her lip, thinking. ] Seems like the pictures on Tuesday would be enough for him. Can I see it?
