Week Four

[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! ))

[Ghost stories...there must be a bunch in the library, now that she says that.]

I'll help you, Peregrine. Anything I need to do, you just let me know.

...I know. I will.

[ For a moment, she's a little...overcome? They aren't really carrying anything right now, so she takes advantage of that, and hugs him, tight and quick. ]

I know you will. Thanks, Varian.

[Oh. He wasn't expecting the hug, and it actually takes his breath away for a moment. Fortunate that they weren't carrying anything, because he would have dropped it.

It's one of the last amicable hugs they'll ever share, not that either of them knows it now. Still...after a moment of being surprised, he'll return the gesture, resting his head against Peregrine's shoulder for a minute.]

O-oh, it's...it's nothing. Don't worry about it.

[ There's something tragic to this that neither of them know. In the moment, it's Peregrine deciding to reach out to a friend, one she realizes only now how much she cares about. ]

It's not to me.
