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. That's not a reflection on you, though? Especially if you didn't even remember it until now. I mean, I've never met my grandfather, but from what my mom and everyone else tells me he's... not a very good person. But that doesn't mean my mom is responsible for what he does, or that I am.

[ He gets the feeling there's more to this story, but he just wanted to get that much out of the way. ]

You said you betrayed your friends, though. Was it... to help her?

[feudalladyshandmaid]

...No. No. It wasn't to help my mother. My mother's dead.

[Died before they could even meet. Before she even knew.]

It was to help myself. Help me find a destiny I've... always been denied. No one else was going to help me with it... They'd just keep ignoring me.

[ Oh. Orpheus thinks about that, quietly, before speaking up again. ]

I'm sorry. About your mother and about your friends. It's... difficult, when the people you love aren't there for you? Even when they have really good reasons not to be, it hurts, and sometimes the fact that they aren't necessarily doing it on purpose only makes it hurt more.

[ He... may sound like he's speaking from experience, here. ]
