Week Three

[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! ))

Hmm...

[Varian brings a han to his chin, nodding.]

Yeah, I've tried a couple things but it doesn't seem functional the way it is now. Do...you have a car at home?
comeandfindme: (🌨️ i'm willing to take the fall)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-16 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Ohh, yeah, most people do. ...Like, it's my mom's, but I use it to get to work and stuff.
alchemistake: (Zinc)

[WHAT HE WANTS A CAR...]

Wow...dad and I don't even have our own carriage. Not a whole lot of people do though, I guess. Kindof makes more sense if you need to take long trips to the kingdom a lot.

[And horses, unlike cars, require a different sort of constant mateniance to make sure they'll get you to work on time.]
comeandfindme: (i'm willing to take the fall)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-16 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, cars are kinda old hat now. Like, we use them a lot, but they're pretty perfected, you know? We're kinda dealing with two really different levels of tech here. [ For a moment, she considers. ] I wonder what you could make if you had like...the stuff I'm used to. What kinds of inventions and all that.
alchemistake: (Canardistium)

[personal profile] alchemistake 2021-06-17 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
[It's wild to think about how technology that can seem so new to Varian is something that's old to Peregrine. He just can't quite wrap his head around it.]

I bet you I could make loads of stuff. If I wasn't limited by my access to materials? I'd probably be like, the most famous inventor in the whole WORLD.

[He says, modestly.]
comeandfindme: (left! right!)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-17 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Hell yeah, now you're talking. [ She gives him a very light punch on the shoulder. ] Don't get too ahead of yourself, though. You'd have to prepare for the unexpected, you know? Try and get ahead of all the others.
alchemistake: (Oxygen)

[personal profile] alchemistake 2021-06-17 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, I would! I'd have contingency plans in place for everything. I mean, how do you think I've made it this far?

[He's been...very lucky.]
comeandfindme: (🌨️ i'm giving control up)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-17 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Hard work and talent, obviously.

[ yeah they're both like this ]

Just making sure. It's something a lot of people overlook. Like...like Howl says, you want to believe everything's gonna work out for you, 'cause you haven't done anything to deserve it not. But the world doesn't work like that. You've gotta be ready. You've gotta keep working hard, whatever comes your way.
alchemistake: (Phosphorus)

[personal profile] alchemistake 2021-06-17 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's...very mature and practical of you, Peregrine.]

Yeah...the world isn't fair. It's not just going to give me all of the pieces I need for my life to turn out exactly as I want it to.

[His current knowledge of his life, plus the sprinklings of doubt given to him lovingly by the Wizard himself, can attest to that...]

Is...Howl a friend of yours?
comeandfindme: (strike!)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-18 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? Oh! Oh, yeah, sorry. I forgot to... He's my mentor. Everything I know about survivalism, I've learned from him.
alchemistake: (Samarium)

[personal profile] alchemistake 2021-06-18 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no, it's okay! That's cool, though. He sounds like a really smart guy!
comeandfindme: (left! right!)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-19 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
He is. He's been all over the world, learned all kinds of things— breathing techniques, harvesting, hunting, navigation— he's just amazing. No one else in Whitetail knows even half as much as he does.
alchemistake: (Germanium)

[personal profile] alchemistake 2021-06-20 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Man, what I wouldn't give to have a mentor like that...I learned everything I know about alchemy from teaching myself, and a lot of it I still don't get right. It'd be easier if I had a teacher, you know?
comeandfindme: (🦌 make another crack it doesn't matter)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-20 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, there's no way I coulda learned all this on my own. He really, like...he really understands, you know?
alchemistake: (Dysprosium)

[personal profile] alchemistake 2021-06-21 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I'm glad you had somebody like him to teach you. Seems like it's served you really well, here.
comeandfindme: (🌨️ i'm giving control up)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-21 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
…It’s the kind of stuff we all should’ve been learning. I think… I hope he already knows just how much it means to me. To have someone who really…like, actually cares, but—

When I get outta here… I’m gonna tell him again.
alchemistake: (Lancium)

[personal profile] alchemistake 2021-06-22 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Good.

[When]

For what it's worth, I think he'd be really proud of you, Peregrine.
comeandfindme: (🌨️ i'm willing to take the fall)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-22 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh.

A little smile twists onto her face. ]


Uh, thanks, Varian. I hope so.
alchemistake: (Technetium)

[personal profile] alchemistake 2021-06-22 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
You're welcome! Now, maybe I could get you to put some of those skills to use and...teach me a little more about this car?
comeandfindme: (left! right!)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-22 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Right, yeah, of course! I can't tell ya how to fix it...but I can tell ya what does what, basically.

[ And she starts pointing out various things, like which pedal's supposed to do what, how the wheel works, the headlights... Basic car things. ]
alchemistake: (Oxygen)

[personal profile] alchemistake 2021-06-22 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[THIS IS PROBABLY A GOOD HANDWAVING POINT as Peregrine shows Varian car parts and he asks her like five hundred thousand questions about all of them, godspeed Per]
