Week Four

[stagemanagers]

[Last week, Gershwin High School Academy University saw its very first intentional murder! What a milestone! And right after Spongebob's No Murder party, too - that doesn't seem like it bodes very well for anybody's future.

You all wake up this morning with yet another new memory returned to you. You'll also find that the school's external doors have now unlocked. Congratulations! You're free! Unfortunately, you also seem to be entirely in the middle of nowhere. So maybe it's more of a symbolic victory.

Still, you should look around and do some investigation! Maybe you'll find a fun surprise.]

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! ))

[Oh my god Maya...]

Are you drawing a guide?

[He asks as he starts to rummage around to see if he can find anything to make a mark with- fabric pens specifically.]

You'll want to make it a bit bigger than you think it should be anyway, by at least a few inches for seam allowance. Otherwise your blade's never gonna fit right.

[alchemistake]

It can't be. It's taunting us...showing us what we could have, but never will if he has anything to say about it.

[Varian pushes his hands hard into his pockets.]

It does make me wonder...how much more of this place there even is. It's been four weeks...it feels like he's going to run out of stuff at some point.

[alchemistake]

Your mother?

[He very carefully sets the pieces on a clear space of the table nearby, immediately putting a box between them and other projects so they don't get mixed up.]

I'll make sure to be really careful with it, then. I wonder why it came out in pieces, though...

[alchemistake]

[AH........guns.]

Those aren't...loaded, right?

[whatyouwant]

It's crazy to think about. I've watched stuff about astronauts going into space, but never farther than the moon. And they're, like, trained for years to be able to do it maybe once or twice. Getting to just board a ship and go? That's crazy.

[alchemistake]

[...well color him fucking surprised, how has he been here this long and didn't know that?]

That's what your world is like, Discord??

[alchemistake]

[Varian is cautious as he approaches, because if anybody knows how to deal with wild animals, it's him. Ruddiger is maybe an outlier that shouldn't be counted, though...]

Oh...a lizard?

[ANOTHER LIZARD...he looks more than a little fascinated, tilting his head as Bruni pitter-patters across Elsa's palms.]

That's...on fire?

[alchemistake]

[Yeah that scene was uh.......uh

It sure was

Varian will be watching Rina carefully though as she recovers from that, his expression both sympathetic and cheeky.]

Don't feel bad. I've been trying to prank Discord for days...it's harder than it looks.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[OH GOD OH FUCK

Sword out. Let's investigate!!]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Hey, sometime you have to eat dirt before you get to the good stuff.

[is that some kind of saying....? maybe?]

These ones are looking ready to go. Just make sure it doesn't stick to the pan.

[fourbutts]

Kind of? Like doing something really ridiculous to do something only kind of related. Sometimes people use it when it's counter-productive - like if you couldn't open a soda, so you shot it. Boom, galaxy brain.

[disharmonizes]

...Different times?

[Not that he knows a lot here, but it's Peregrine so probably there's a lot of emotional baggage involved.]

[mcfife]

...You're a brave young man, Varian. Intelligent. Resourceful. We have your back.

[He's not alone. They're all going home together.]

After, if your princess won't help, I, as a prince, must step in for her.

[samefacesyndrome]

Oh... I see.

I-I hope I can cook something with Varian-kun then... it sounds really nice.

[ too bad he said no in a later thread oh well. :( ]

I'd like to make at least one special thing on my own though.... maybe dessert...?

[brokeforgood]

Yeah? [She asks it without judgement, her voice soft, and weirdly sincere, for Farrah at least.]

What'd you do? Fuck up a game of chess? [...Okay, no judgement still, but she is teasing him a little.]

[disharmonizes]

My, my, and still not tired of it? You and Salieri should talk about extremely healthy obsessions sometimes, you have so much in common.

[Like father like daughter.]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

No. No. I mean lifting weights? Working out?

[She's actually adding weight to her own barbells.]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Dammit, Varian!]

Between all of us... I don't see anyone wanting to attempt murder anytime soon.

[Even if she sounds a little shaken about that.]

[mayavericks]

Oh -- just the last few moments.

[Maya shrugs, smiling just a little stiffly.]

I had finished my own routine and needed a breather, that's all. I apologize for intruding but... it was very impressive to watch!

[barberic]

I wonder if the plan was to unlock it later.

[After all, they've gotten new areas after every...]

[mayavericks]

Nana?

[A faint smile, though it wobbles.]

If you thought I was working hard to keep us united, you would not know what to even do about her. Everything she does, she does for someone else. She's... incredibly talented, too.

[mayavericks]

[Maya adds a single scoop of sugar to her own tea. She seems to be doing more stirring than actual drinking though.]

May I ask you something?

[brokeforgood]

Hey. [She strikes a stern expression, and points a finger at him.]

Be nice, about him. He's going through some shit. [Then-- looking back down at the phone.]

But, yeah, my thing is probably a little fucked up.

[violentenvies]

Of course.

[barberic]

It looks like the rest of them. Just... wooden, with one of those little narrow windows.

Pushing or pulling alone won't so much as rattle it. Whatever's in there is shut up tight.
