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! ))

[ It took her a little time to find Farrah. Still, Peregrine's determined. And, when she finally does come across her— ]

Farrah, there you are. Okay. Good. Do- do you have a minute? [ She seems...uncharacteristically awkward. ]

[brokeforgood]

[Farrah whips around when Peregrine enters the room— then relaxes when she realizes who it is. ]

Oh— Hey, yeah. I can take a few minutes. What’s up?

[comeandfindme]

[ She looks so hard at work… Peregrine hasn’t seen Farrah so hard at work at anything so far. ]

Well… I found something, in- in Connor’s trunk. Something he left for you.

[brokeforgood]

[Farrah hasn’t seen herself work so hard on anything before, either. There’s definitely a lot of diet coke cans in here.

Her face stays neutral as Peregrine tells her that, trying not to ask the million questions that it creates. Why would he leave anything—- and if he was going to, why for her? Her voice gives her away though, it’s small, and just a hint babyish, the way she gets when she’s really upset about something.]

For me? What is it?

[comeandfindme]

[ Out of a pants pocket, Peregrine withdraws a white and orange friendship bracelet. As she does, her cloak falls back to reveal that she's got a matching one, blue and white. ]

He made it for you.

[brokeforgood]

[Oh. Farrah comes closer to take a look before she actually takes it, afraid she might mess it up somehow.]

Oh. It’s—- Tigers colors. My team. [She glances at Peregrine’s own bracelet, then smiles, and thrusts her arm forward.]

Can you put it on for me?

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine nods once and ties it around her wrist. ]

I think...he was trying to make them for everyone important to him.

[brokeforgood]

[Farrah holds extremely still as Peregrine ties it onto her, only pulling her wrist back to examine it. ]

God, that’s... so Connor. I miss him so much. I’ve never met someone who just... got it, so much. He understood that...

You don’t know who you are until you hate yourself.
Until you scream and hurt and fight.
And everybody says they know better, better
And everybody says they know you better—-
But they ain’t right.

[comeandfindme]

[ Her arms prickle at that; Connor did get it. It felt like he would understand her. Like if she told him about...everything, he would listen, get it, get why she needed it.

...Maybe that's a bad thing. Maybe it would've been better if she talked to him and he reacted like Maya, considering. ]

You turn to pain and hate or try to numb yourself.
And all the platitudes aren't true.
