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! ))

[He looks wistful as he thinks about it.]
A place full of like-minded individuals...it'd be amazing.
no subject
[ Orpheus pauses, thinking. ]
I mean, it's also kind of complicated, because we've gotten to the point where machines can do a lot of the jobs that people can do, but faster, and better, and you'd think that would be a good thing? Because then people would be free to do as they wanted. But mostly it's meant their bosses replace them and they don't have a way to make money anymore.
[ Another pause, as Orpheus realizes that was a HUGE DOWNER. ]
But that's not the engineers' and inventors' faults! It's just, um. You know. [ He waves a hand, vaguely. Industrialization!! ]
no subject
O...oh! Oh.
[INDUSTRIALIZATION]
Well that's, uh...really great! And impressive...that technology has advanced so much...
[He blinks, shaking his head a little.]
Maybe there's just...gonna be a sort of growth period? It'll take a while for people to get adjusted to all the new machines that exist so...surely it'll balance out.
[SURELY]
no subject
It's just a matter of the people in charge learning to value the work that people can do, and making adjustments. There's always work that needs to be done! Like maintaining the machines, or inspecting what's been made for quality. But people need to be trained for those jobs, and paid a fair amount for the more complicated work, and right now the ones in charge of the factories aren't willing to do that.
[ His expression sours a bit, not quite into a scowl, but he clearly disapproves. It only lasts a moment, though, before he smiles again. ]
Someday, though! There are people fighting for it now, and it'd be impossible to ignore them forever.
no subject
Yeah, you're right! Otherwise they aren't going to be getting more machines to do the work.
no subject
[ That's... the ideal case, at least. ]
It's all kind of complicated, and there's some natural disasters going on that are also making it hard for people to find work? So people are more desperate and will do even more for even less than they would otherwise. But something will have to give, probably sooner rather than later.
no subject
[He's not sure he'd call it "natural" in the case of his own home, but he can...relate. There sure is a disaster in progress, that's for sure.]
I hope the people in your world are as optimistic about the future as you, Orpheus.
no subject
[ He smiles, confident in this, though after a moment it falters as he remembers the photo of Eurydice in the midst of that winter storm. His expression darkens, going haunted and determined. ]
We have to.
no subject
[He sounds determined enough in that, even though the only reminder of it he has now is the staff he now holds.]
no subject
I'm sure you will, too. What's wrong there, though?
no subject
[Plain and simple.]
But I'm still not sure exactly what it is, or how to stop it. These...black rocks have started appearing all over. They're destroying streets and peoples' homes...and it just gets worse by the day.]
no subject
[ It kind of must be, if they're just... appearing out of nowhere, right? ]
no subject
[There's no real information out there on "mysterious black rocks" so like...]
If something isn't done soon, though...my village won't be around for much longer.
