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! ))

[HMM...is Hester taking care of this Garden? Someone has to be...

Is there anything to note about the types of flowers planted themselves? Is it all one species, or a variety? Or is it even all just flowers?]

[stagemanagers]

[You know what, sure. Just flowers! There's nothing particular to note about the types, though, they're just attractive garden flowers.]

[alchemistake]

[>Varian will remember this

Flowers, check. Tree, check, No poisonous things, check. Garden being constantly tended to...check.

He's going to wander around and check the area surrounding the garden now. What's that like? Is it forest on all sides with just the one entrance?]

[stagemanagers]

[Pretty much! It doesn't look like there's any other paths leading to or from anyplace else.]

[alchemistake]

[COOL COOL

By the way since I just remembered the weird fake rabbit found in the woods...are there any signs of animals like that in this garden?]

[stagemanagers]

[Nope! No sign that anything's eaten or chewed on, nothing dug up or anything.]

[alchemistake]

[Varian will make a mental note of that too, then.

Is there anything else unusual that might stick out for him to be looking at? Anything odd placed around- like the benches- or is that about all there is to see?]

[stagemanagers]

[There's some marks on the trunk of the tree that don't look entirely natural!]

[alchemistake]

[HMMMMMMM Dislike

Varian is immediately going to make a beeline for the tree, in that case. What kind of marks are we looking at, here...should he be concerned...]

[stagemanagers]

[It might have been something carved into the tree trunk, once. But the tree is alive and growing, still. These are scars, healed over now to the point of illegibility. You can see that there were straight lines and angles, but you can't read what it might have said once.]

[alchemistake]

[Varian frowns, carefully rubbing a thumb over the scars in the tree. He can tell they're not random scratches from a passing animal or something...they were put here, deliberately.

Are the old scars all he'll find, or does the tree have any new secrets if he tries examining the entire circumference of the trunk?]

[stagemanagers]

[Nothing else around the trunk! Is that all you're examining?]

[alchemistake]

[...is this tree different from the ones in the woods? Like

Is this Also a weird tree]

[stagemanagers]

[Actually? No. This seems like a completely regular tree.]
