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! ))

[Sortof! He's spacing at the moment, but fortunately he does like...hear someone coming his way in time to actually dodge so he isn't bowled over by a cartwheeling Farrah.]

O-oh! Hey Farrah.

10 points.

[brokeforgood]

[She does a little hop at the end, posing in a TA-DA sort of way, looking very pleased with herself.]

Ten points! That’s a lot. I’ll take it.

I can’t believe we got to go outside! Has it been open like this all day?!

[alchemistake]

Ever since I've been up...probably before then.

[He shakes his head a little, like he still can't believe it either.]

The garage door opened and everything. After all that planning...

[brokeforgood]

The garage door too! [Farrah laughs with delight, stretching her arms wayyyyyyy up to the sky. ]

That’s crazy! Wow. It feels so good to be outside. Ruddy loves it too, huh?

[alchemistake]

[That gets Varian laughing a little as he looks over to where Ruddiger is just...literally a blur, rushing up another tree until he finds a knothole he can dive into. He's so fat that he can barely squeeze in, but he seems content with it either way.]

He sure does. He doesn't mind being indoors at this point, but...I think not getting to go outside at all was bothering him more than it was bothering me.

[brokeforgood]

It’s probably good for him to get the exercise, too, with—— you know. [Look at him. He’s so cute. But so fat.]

Thank you for your help last night. I... really wanted to make Salieri happy. I thought if I learned, it’d make him happy.

[alchemistake]

Oh, it's no problem. I can show you more any time you want.

[Varian smiles, though it doesn't quite reach his eyes.]

I didn't...really know today was any kind of special day. I hadn't heard of Father's Day until now.

[brokeforgood]

Yeah— [Farrah hesitates.]

Sorry. I should have told you, but I didn’t want to like...make you miss your dad.

[alchemistake]

Oh...nah, it's fine. I appreciate the thought.

[He kicks at a clump of dirt.]

Not sure Dad would've gotten it anyway...he's always so busy with other stuff.

[brokeforgood]

Yeah. I get how that one goes. [She blows an exaggerated puff of air out of her mouth, then winds her arm around his, tugging him closer to her side.]

I’ve got an idea. Want to find something to give Salieri, here? It’s a little late, but he won’t mind. I don’t think he knew about it either.

[alchemistake]

Something...to give him?

[Oh. That's...

He relaxes, smiling a little with his arm looped in Farrah's.]

I like that idea, but what?

[brokeforgood]

Yeah! Since—- he’s the closest thing we’ve got, here. He’s always making sure we’re safe, giving advice and keeping us from getting into too much trouble. It seems nice to celebrate him. [She’s beaming again, pleased he’s agreeing with her.]

I don’t know. We could try and cook or bake something, but I’m kindof sloppy in that. Do we have anything else cool we can make him, that he’d like?

[alchemistake]

[Hm. Varian can bake, but he's not really sure that would be right. Especially not if-

...]

Something he'd like...Farrah, that's it!

[He turns to look at her with a grin.]

Can you meet me in the scene shop in an hour? I need you to-

[And he's just...going to lean in and whisper, because it's a Surprise.]
