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! ))

[The bubble reaches the ground.]

Watch your step.

[And then the Wizard turns to regard the wreckage onstage with a single glowing eye. He's quiet for a moment, before deciding:]

Go back to bed. We don't need to have a trial for this. Trials are for when people die.

[mayavericks]

[Well that sure is a fucked up thing to say. This is where, if she had a sword, she might shove it through his glowing eye. Luckily for all of us, Maya does not. She also has more important things to deal with.]

Janis!

[She goes to pull her into an embrace. Allowed or not, she'll still look over Janis's shoulder and glare at the Wizard.]

You will pay for this. All of this.

[fourbutts]

[ Janis wants to manage anger in response, tries so hard to, but... all she really manages is crying into Maya's shoulder once she's off of the bubble. ]

Fuck.

[ ... the Wizard? This? Probably. ]

[comeandfindme]

You fucking bastard— He was more of a person than you could ever be!

[ An eye kept closely on Janis and Maya. She doesn’t stray far from them. ]

[stagemanagers]

You have no idea what he's done.

[comeandfindme]

And I don't care!

[ No one deserves to be forgotten.
No one deserves— ]

I know what you've done! And I know I wish you were the one dead, not him!

[stagemanagers]

We both missed that chance a long time ago.

[howtheworldwas]

[ Eurydice stands, still beside Orpheus: ]

Don’t you dare talk like that. We can’t — we can’t just leave him here. What are you gonna do with him?

[ Eurydice can’t imagine it’s anything good, or respectful. ]

[stagemanagers]

The same as the others. Just leave him.

[howtheworldwas]

[ Ordinarily, Eurydice would do what she’s always thought of as the smart thing. She’d turn away and leave, not making trouble with people powerful enough to do real damage.

But now? She’s got nothing left to lose. She stands her ground. ]

I won’t. Not until you tell me.

[stagemanagers]

You didn't care what I did with any of the other bodies. Why does it matter now?

[howtheworldwas]

It always mattered. [ Eurydice feels a little guilty, and then shoves that feeling down deep, because she is not going to let the Wizard mess with her!! ] So are you going to tell me, or not?

[stagemanagers]

We get rid of them. You’re not exactly equipped to deal with those things.

[howtheworldwas]

[ oh no no no eurydice does not like the sound of that! ]

Do you bury them? Burn them?

[stagemanagers]

I remove them. They don't exist anymore.

[also sorry but did you think the school had cremation facilities?]

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine gasps. Huh, that sucks!! ]

That's... That's horrible...

[stagemanagers]

...why? You can't keep them here.

[comeandfindme]

Because— how do you not understand that people need to say goodbye to the people they love?! What about their families? Or— or their friends? You just made them not exist, that's sick! That's fucked up!

[feudalladyshandmaid]

You can't just make us suffer like this and then make it like nothing even happened!

[howtheworldwas]

[ ......well. that's something. eurydice just nods, like she's made up her mind about something, and turns her attention back to the body. ]

[sugarlumps]

Wooow, not lumping cool. Like less cool than usual and that's saying something.

[Yeah she's here, she followed the screaming and also her bodyguard buddy, this isn't super late don't question it.]

[mcfife]

He was a person, you wicked man! [He steps away from the teenager group to get a better look up at The Wizard.] What gives you the right to say that his life had no worth?!

[stagemanagers]

What gave him the right?

[mcfife]

I don't know what the hell you mean!

[stagemanagers]

[Well, you’re not getting that explanation now!]
