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! ))

I have only had the one so far. [And if only we could see that one duel. Please let us see it.]

But. Through song, dance, and combat, we compete to see who has the most shine. Whoever manages to strike the other combatant down first, by knocking their jacket away, will stand alone at position zero.

[ Revue Starlight release the forbidden duel footage. ]

The most...shine. [ She repeats it softly. ] Does that mean, like...who wants it most?
mayavericks: (Come Climb Up Here)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-17 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
No, not quite. It's... the motivation. The talent and determination. That is what shine is.
comeandfindme: (dodge!)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-17 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. So...it's like, auditions but ramped up to eleven. Whoever wins gets this...position zero thing?
mayavericks: (Come Climb Up Here)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-18 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Position zero is the center of the stage. Claiming that simply ends the duel. What we are competing for is to be the "top star." That is what grants us our eternal wish.
comeandfindme: (feel the roots)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-18 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Wow. ...Is it, like, dangerous?

[ Not judging. More interested. ]
mayavericks: (Going Higher!)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-18 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't call it perfectly safe but... We're not trying to hurt one another, if that's what you mean? There's always dangers to be had with real weapons but... We're trained well enough, I suppose.

[Maya there's a difference between stage weapons and real weapons but. You do you.]
comeandfindme: (dodge!)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-18 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Why would your instructors be against it, then? Honestly, it sounds like a great way for you to all test your...abilities, I guess?
mayavericks: (Default)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-18 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
What we do on stage is choreographed with false weapons for months prior. We practice until there can be no errors. Meanwhile, many of the weapons we do use are blunted.

The Revues, on the other hand, are entirely improvised. It's not a duel to the death, but it's not without its risks.
comeandfindme: (whoa‚ whoa‚ whoa‚ whoa)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-18 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
...Improvised with real weapons?
mayavericks: (Now Raise the Sword Called Determination)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-18 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. It's --

[She takes a breath through her nose.]

They have no need for those who lack willpower
They want you to show you are fighting
With your pride on the line
comeandfindme: (dead reckoning)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-18 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hm. That's— ]

Who...even set these up, Maya?
mayavericks: (Show Me Your Fury)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-18 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
[What Maya wants to say is 'a kirin.' Because she's gotten enough odd looks from her fellow "cast mates" to know that describing the actual creature orchestrating these duels is a terrible idea!

Unfortunately for Maya, the universal translator is a bitch, and so am I.]


A giraffe. [A beat.] I mean, a giraffe --

A gir- [She's just going to lower her head now.]
comeandfindme: (feel the power in your core)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-18 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ Peregrine is so confused right now. ]

A giraffe...
mayavericks: (For Those Who Lack Willpower)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-18 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, since she's already in hell --]

A talking giraffe, to be specific.
comeandfindme: (shatter it all)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-18 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
Maya... I'm believing a lot of weird shit lately...but you gotta clarify... You are not pulling my leg here?
mayavericks: (With Your Pride On the Line)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-18 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
I swear it on every ounce of honor I have.

[She winces]

When this process began, I was summoned by this giraffe to the dueling stage in my sleep.

[None of this is helping.]
comeandfindme: ((why did i trust her? i must have known))

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-18 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ She leans against the training dummy. ]

I'm trying really hard here.
mayavericks: (I Have No Need)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-18 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
Do you think me the type to joke about something like this? Or to fall for some sort of prank?
comeandfindme: (burst out!)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-18 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
No, no, you're right, it's just—

A giraffe? Really? A talking giraffe?
mayavericks: (Do Not Be At The Mercy)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-18 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. A talking giraffe told me to sing, dance, and attack my classmates with a sword on stage.

[It just gets worse.]
comeandfindme: (three!)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-18 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
...Okay. Okay, just so we're clear. [ Good god. ] The rest of them got this message too?
mayavericks: (For Those Who Lack Willpower)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-18 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
As far as I understand. The Giraffe was observing Saijo-san and I's duel, after all.
comeandfindme: (every branch‚ every rock)

[personal profile] comeandfindme 2021-06-18 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
Jeez. [ She takes a minute, lets this all sink in. ] Oh, jeez.

...Okay, this still sounds more believable than anything I've heard from Angus? But, oh, jeez.

[ The more surprised she is, the more the Minnesota comes out. ]

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-18 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
[She is so fucking cute.

Wait what.]


I... tend not to listen particularly closely when he speaks of his origins. He's nice but...

[Fuckin concept albums man.]
