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.]

[Varian blinks, shaking his head a little. He seemed to be a bit lost in thought, looking out into the forest while Ruddiger zips around.]
Oh yeah! Yeah...I'm just. This morning was a little rough, but I'm fine.
[He shrugs one shoulder, putting his hand on it.]
Guess everything from yesterday took it's time sinking in.
no subject
[Still. Press 'x' to doubt.]
I remembered something from home. Another performance.
no subject
[Varian's brows raise, his hands going into his pockets.]
Tell me about it.
no subject
I won again. That is two, now. It was another one of my classmates, as well. I... believe it stands to reason that it's meant to take place with all of my schoolmates, though I am unsure how many days it will go for.
no subject
Man...that sounds exhausting. How many schoolmates do you have, exactly?
no subject
27, not including myself. And that is only if we include the 99th class, and from there, only the actor training department.
no subject
[But there's a difference between highschool and a college campus, Varian just doesn't know that.]
But let's be generous and just go with 27...if you're going to be up against that many other students, that sounds like it'll take forever.
no subject
Truthfully it's all a little hard to grasp.
no subject
[Varian shrugs a little, realizing only after he's said it that that might be worrying.]
no subject
[He gives a halfhearted sort of shrug.]
Shine powers the stage. And I have noticed that the more... passionate our duels are, the more the stage reacts. You should have seen my most recent display.
no subject
[He's trying to imagine it...this sounds fucking wild.]
no subject
You can see that I hardly understand the process myself.
no subject
[...]
Assuming you want to call that giraffe, uh. ...magic.
[Magic as opposed to a hallucination, perhaps.]
no subject
Truthfully, I would have believed it to be a hallucination or... my imagination, if I had not fought others that I knew. It's all been just as real to them, too.
no subject
Have you asked any of the others about it? Or...is it something you're supposed to keep a secret?
no subject
[Which... reminds her.]
That's why the execution bothered me so much. The fact that there was a giraffe present... It is probably only coincidence but --
[She worries nonetheless.]
no subject
[It probably didn't hit him as hard as it did her, but...it seemed far too pointed to just be a coincidence.]
The Wizard might have just been taunting you, since he knows about your situation with the Giraffe. I can't see him passing up an opportunity like that.

no subject
I guess the best thing for it is to try to not think about it, for right now. Being able to go outside like this is...better, at least.
no subject
I didn't realize I had missed it until now.
no subject
[There's a pause after he says that, though.]
It just...feels too easy.
no subject
[Her laugh is a little bitter.]
Four people died for us to get this far.
no subject
Y...yeah.
[YEAH...]
I guess I mean more like...I'm surprised he's let us outside at all. It's too much freedom, somehow...
no subject
[A beat.]
Besides, how can it truly be freedom if there is no means to truly escape?
no subject
[Varian pushes his hands hard into his pockets.]
It does make me wonder...how much more of this place there even is. It's been four weeks...it feels like he's going to run out of stuff at some point.
