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, yeah. Chess and I have a very dark and dramatic history. [She doesn’t even. Try and explain.]

[mcfife]

Does chess also involve dark rituals in your universe?

[brokeforgood]

Huh? No, way less complicated than that, I just hate this bitch that shares the same name. She dropped me, once. I got a concussion

[mcfife]

Oh.

Then I understand your anger. [At least it's more normal than a stepsister being part of a blood cult.] Say, Farrah...I have a question. It's about what I remembered this week.

...What was Riley's surname?

[brokeforgood]

Why? Looking to get revenge in my name? [She doesn’t give him a chance to reply.]

Williams. The bitch that murdered me is named Riley Williams.

[mcfife]

[His face twitches.]

Then I met her.

We were prisoners together.

[brokeforgood]

What?

Red hair, control freak Riley? What the fuck did you do to be a prisoner with a straight up murderer?!

[mcfife]

Prisoners, as in held together with other people in building, with similar rules about murder.

[He glances back at the school.]

But it wasn't a school. It was an opera house, lead by a man named The Phantom. [It sounds so ridiculous. It has to be unbelievable to her ears.] Riley, other people, a king, a small girl, an alien...a boy named Jeremy, but it's probably a coincidence. I don't think we had anything in common.

[brokeforgood]

But like—- Riley deserves that. What did you do?

I don’t deserve this. I’m the victim. So like.... who did you kill?

[mcfife]

Goblins? Chaos wizards?

[What did the little sweet girl do? Not listen to her mother?]

Why were any of us here? Did you do something wrong?

[brokeforgood]

No! Riley killed me, not the other way around!

Maybe the chaos goblins had a family.

[mcfife]

Perhaps they did, but do you think Maya's friend would kill someone? A little girl? And alien who did not even understand where she was?

[brokeforgood]

I don’t—- I don’t know! All I know is—-

Riley was my captain. And then—- [Farrah shrinks. Her voice, and her posture are small, and she hugs herself. The hug itself looks a little awkward, with the way she pulls her arms across her body, but depending on how closely Angus looked at her photo, he may recognize that she’s covering the places where she was stabbed.]

She deserved it!

[mcfife]

[This girl was murdered by her leader. A wicked girl who made herself seem as non-threatening as possible when they first met, and Farrah has suffered. But if she is alive, does that mean that the wounds were not fatal?

And folds his arms and shifts his weight a few times.]

If this was some time ago, we must have all escaped and gotten our memories wiped of the event. Whoever The Phantom was, he was not powerful enough to trap us together for long. Even if Riley survived...it means that I have lived through one of these. It must be possible to defeat The Wizard.

[That has to be something positive to glean from all this.]

[brokeforgood]

[Farrah hesitates, she really doesn’t like even the idea that Riley should have survived something like this—- did she have something to do with Farrah ending up here? Still...]

If you did it with Riley, then it’s twice as possible with me around.
