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! ))

[Varian blinks, unable to quite tell if his ruse was pulled off or not. Discord didn't even try to take a drink, HM-]

Oh! Well uh...yeah, I would've brought her something if I knew she was out here, haha...but that cup is so big, and the water is so high up, maybe you should drink some so she can get to it easier?

[That's actually the opposite of what you'd want but he never said he was good under pressure.]

[disharmonizes]

Are you suggesting I go before royalty? She is a princess, you know, it would be terribly rude.

[He's really wanting to see how much Varian will push back to make this happen, this is kind of delightful. Gold star, kiddo.]

[alchemistake]

[At least it's working to cheer Discord up, even if it means Varian is floundering in his attempt to get the prank to actually work. It's not even a good one!]

Oh no, not at all! But you're the one who's been doing all of the hard work, aren't you? You've got to be parched by now!

[disharmonizes]

Is this some sort of anti-lizard vendetta? You're ever so insistent.

Are perhaps you're thirsty yourself and projecting?

[honestly it IS cheering him up, this is a blast]

[alchemistake]

M...myself?

[Wait, fuck

Shit]

Oh no, no, I'm- I've been being a lot better about hydrating, like you don't even know. Can't forget to drink water when there's a vending machine down the hall!

[Or like. Soda. Too much soda...]

[disharmonizes]

[oh you sweet summer child....]

Not the healthiest selection in there, you know. [Yeah Mr. Cotton Candy Clouds you super care about limiting sugar.] You did bring a cup for yourself, too, right? Or should I just take your word for it?

[alchemistake]

[............................

Varian opens his mouth, closes it. This happens a few times.]


...aalright alright. You caught me, didn't you?

[disharmonizes]

Red-handed.

But it was a good attempt. I especially enjoyed how much you attempted to double down.

[alchemistake]

[Varian sighs, pushing the cup across the table with a finger.]

I couldn't think of anything better. Kinda hard without my alchemy to fall back on.

...but thanks. I'm glad to hear that it was sortof good, at least.

[disharmonizes]

Oh, I know the feeling. Getting anything done without my magic is such a pain.

I suppose you'll just have to try again when you do have access, hm?

[alchemistake]

[...Varian smiles, at that.]

Yeah...I suppose I will. But- you better watch your back!

[Varian points a finger at Discord to drive the point home.]

I'm gonna prank you so hard...I'll be making a run for your job!

[disharmonizes]

Oh, really now? That sounds like a challenge.

I'll gladly await your very own brand of chaos, then.

[alchemistake]

Good. You're safe...for now.

[He props his head up against his hand, looking over at the little structure Discord has put together for his lizard friend.]

Impressive work, by the way.

[disharmonizes]

As far as putting things together manually goes, I suppose it's alright.

[the lizard just crawls up the side. there she go.]

I'm certain I could go much bigger than this, with a little more time.

[rip in fuck books]

[alchemistake]

[Who needs 'em anyway, the library can spare a few!]

If you wanted to go any bigger, you'd probably have to move everything to the floor to have room, wouldn't you?

[disharmonizes]

Or... it can simple extend over the table.

[alchemistake]

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

[disharmonizes]

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

A mega castle-kingdom.

[alchemistake]

Is that how it works?

[Varian laughs, watching the lizard slowly scaling the tower of books.]

Well in that case, you're gonna need a wall around the perimeter. Just so everybody knows where her territory ends.

[disharmonizes]

You make a good point. Though, on the other hand, who says it ever has to end?

Why shouldn't this whole school be hers?

[alchemistake]

Oh the whole school, huh? She thinks big...I respect that.

[Varian watches her in all of her royalty, look at her go.]

Of course, there's a whole lot of other lizards too...are those her subjects?

[disharmonizes]

Naturally. She rules over them with an iron claw, but she's more the benevolent dictator type.

For now, anyway.

[The princess skitters around. Terrifying.]
