itscurtains | 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! ))

[Somehow, when Orpheus explains it, Varian believes him genuinely. He's right...there have to be workers to maintain those machines. How do they expect them to keep working otherwise?]

Yeah, you're right! Otherwise they aren't going to be getting more machines to do the work.

Right! And if a company keeps focusing on profits and cost-cutting measures over treating its workers right, then people won't be willing to work for them any more, and they'll have to either shut down or make concessions to their demands for fair treatment.

[ 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.

Natural disasters, huh...yeah, I imagine that complicates things...

[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.

It's a hard world to live in? But things will get better. We'll make them better.

[ 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.

I believe you will. Just like I'm going to fix things back home for my village.

[He sounds determined enough in that, even though the only reminder of it he has now is the staff he now holds.]

[ Orpheus shakes off the grim reminder of what might be waiting for them back home and smiles again, nodding. ]

I'm sure you will, too. What's wrong there, though?

Well...it's in danger.

[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.]

Oh. That's really strange? What could do something like that? Do you think it's some kind of curse?

[ It kind of must be, if they're just... appearing out of nowhere, right? ]

It's...something like that, I think. It's some sort of strange magic, but it's not something I've been able to decipher yet.

[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.
