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 people absolutely do that, but Eurydice does not have it in her to correct Orpheus right now. Instead, she takes another drink from the bottle.

Then Orpheus talks about believing Hades, and even though she knows he doesn't mean it like that, Eurydice can't help but feel like a complete idiot. She went so long being careful, critical, and untrusting of people, and when it mattered most, when it could have prevented all of this, she just...believed him. She didn't consider any ulterior motives, didn't think about the cost. ]

'You won't feel a thing,' he said
'When you go down'

[ She stops there, the rest of the words caught in her throat.

Quieter: ]

When he offers you the deal, it's like...like he almost understands. [ firmer, with some edge to it: ] But he doesn't really. He doesn't understand anything at all.

At least if he thinks it's a mercy, taking people in like that - there's a chance he could be convinced that it's not. We could make him understand. What it is he's taking away from people.

[ Life. Hope. Love. It would be hard, of course, gods are notoriously stubborn, but Orpheus sees a chance at something there, and is already thinking about how best to use it. ]

[howtheworldwas]

Yeah. If he's willing to listen. [ Eurydice's thinking about it too, and although she's less optimistic...maybe there's a chance. ] Maybe you were right about Lady Persephone. She might be able to understand.

[ Orpheus nods. ] She loves the surface, and the people up there. She knows how valuable life is, and how... how it is, in Hadestown. I know she doesn't approve of what Lord Hades is doing. And if he'd listen to anyone, ever, he might listen to her.

[ Might. Listening to Lady Persepone's wishes has not been his strong suit for the past few decades, by the sound of it, but it's the best chance Orpheus can see. ]
