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! ))

Whatever magic the wizard who built this can imbue.

Though laser eyes are not exclusive to magical creatures.

[alchemistake]

Oh no, I mean- are you sure I can keep it?

[mcfife]

[The Roomba slowly vrrrrms down the hall.]

I think it has a mind of its own.

[alchemistake]

[Oh, there it goes...]

Oh...

[Well he wasn't expecting it to just vrrrm away but now that it's moving without instruction...]

Maybe it's some sort of AI?

[mcfife]

It's a simple one, just enough to teach the robot how to move about.

[It takes a meandering path, going whichever way it desires. It serves no master.]

I could ask the SQUIP what its purpose is. [Angus, not all robots know each other.]

[alchemistake]

[I mean, it's a fair question to ask-]

Should...we let it just wander around like that, in the meantime?

[mcfife]

...Probably not. It may serve The Wizard.

[He tucks his lizard close to his chest and follows the Roomba, towards the rest of the school.]

[alchemistake]

[Varian will follow as well, keeping close to Angus. What crimes will it commit...]

...I just realized. What if it's watching us?

[Mobile survelliance...]

[mcfife]

[!!!]

That's evil! Quick!

[He dives after the Roomba, which just so happens to zoom to the right just as Angus makes a grab for it.]

We have to destroy it as soon as possible!

[alchemistake]

[Varian jumps, but before he can react the thing is already zipping past them both.]

Uh-! Let's try to chase it into one of the rooms! We can close it in!

[mcfife]

[Angus stands up and runs after the roomba.]

One of the music rooms! The choir one, we don't use it much!

[alchemistake]

[Okay don't mind Varian just

snatching up a broom as they give chase, in case he needs to use it to push the Roomba someplace. Probably away from them, preferably.

It's got to be pretty comical, seeing as how the device is moving barely at walking speed while they're chasing after it like it might escape.

He'll run up ahead to make sure the music room is open.]

In here!

[mcfife]

[Poor Tad Cooper is clinging onto Angus' shoulder for dear life as he keeps to the roomba's back, leaping from side the side any moment it looks like it might turn back or stop. Slowly, every so slowly, the roomba scoops up dust from the edges of the hallway and inches towards Varian.]

[alchemistake]

[Varian has his broom at the ready....poised, waiting for it to attack...

...the moment it starts to cross the threshold, he will just. Use the brush of the broom to shove it in.]

[mcfife]

[Angus grabs the door handle and slams it shut, giving it a good tug to make sure that it can't accidentally open.]

Done. He is trapped within the choir room. Now to warn the others.

[alchemistake]

[They've done their good samaritan duty...I think.]

As soon as possible, preferably.

[mcfife]

[Eventually, someone will open the door, and the Roomba of Evil will escape to enact its reign of terror. Mostly by bothering people during afterparties and such.]
