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.]


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! ))

His... penguins.

[Because he was a penguin. A fact that she's come to acknowledge and accept. After all, it wasn't too much to turn a person into a bird. Why not the other way around?]

Never? Huh. [What a world.] I bet you must've made him pretty happy, then.

His Penguins, right.

[Penguins can be people too, Cassandra. Jeez.]

I like to hope that I did but... Who can really say.
feudalladyshandmaid: (Remorse)

[personal profile] feudalladyshandmaid 2021-06-23 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[They can be! Some of the nicest people she knows might have been penguins. Doubtful, but maybe!]

Let's hope then. He didn't deserve this. [She spares a look around the garden, at the other benches.] None of them deserved to be remembered like... this. It's like some cruel joke.

It as if they saw Varian's ofrenda and decided to make a mockery of us.

[Still, Maya runs her hand over Mumble's name.]

The more time goes on, the more I truly feel as if we are being toyed with.
feudalladyshandmaid: (Tensed)

[personal profile] feudalladyshandmaid 2021-06-24 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, [A laugh, harsh.] I've felt that way since day one.

Stuck in this school, it's like they want us to think that we're learning something by trying to survive, week after week.
mayavericks: (Do Not Be At The Mercy)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-24 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
It's almost as if they want us to learn that we cannot trust one another. Ever.
feudalladyshandmaid: (Mad)

[personal profile] feudalladyshandmaid 2021-06-24 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cassandra pauses, letting her silence rest on the benches before them.]

...But maybe there are people we thought we could trust, but can't.
mayavericks: (Of the Beast That Lies Within You)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-25 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
Is there someone you're thinking of in particular?
feudalladyshandmaid: (Broken)

[personal profile] feudalladyshandmaid 2021-06-25 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Nobody here.

[She can say that much immediately, if only to put Maya at ease.]

"You have to be careful who you trust". [She recites, like there's a meaning being echoed here.] But even your best friends can turn on you, if they think they have to.
mayavericks: (There is no Time to Spare)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-25 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Maya looks just a little uncomfortable.]

Or if they think they might benefit from it. That they deserve something more? [She shivers.] But to go to such lengths? Even I could not comprehend that.
feudalladyshandmaid: (Concerned)

[personal profile] feudalladyshandmaid 2021-06-27 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
[If Cassandra notices, she makes no mention of it.]

Neither can I. I don't want to think about any benefits that are worth killing someone over.

So it makes perfect sense if the Wizard thinks that no cost is too high.

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-27 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
In any case, I look forward to proving him wrong.

[Dammit, Varian.]
feudalladyshandmaid: (Glad)

[personal profile] feudalladyshandmaid 2021-06-28 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dammit, Varian!]

Between all of us... I don't see anyone wanting to attempt murder anytime soon.

[Even if she sounds a little shaken about that.]
mayavericks: (Oh Fly Me to the Star)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-28 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
You're right. Our bonds are too strong, at this point. Even if there are disagreements among individuals, on the grand scheme, we all have someone we wouldn't want to hurt or disappoint by the loss of our numbers.
feudalladyshandmaid: (Insult)

[personal profile] feudalladyshandmaid 2021-06-29 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

That Wizard had better not threaten those "someones", or else.
mayavericks: (Without knowing its conclusion)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-29 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately, I am sure that the thought has occurred to him. Several times over, even.
feudalladyshandmaid: (Whiskers)

[personal profile] feudalladyshandmaid 2021-06-30 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [She exhales into a sigh that sags her shoulders.] You're right. If anything, he'll probably start using our loved ones against us even more.

...In fact - I'll just stop talking, because he can probably hear us.
mayavericks: (I Will Recreate Myself)

[personal profile] mayavericks 2021-06-30 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
I doubt it's the first time he's heard it but.

[She pantomimes sealing her lips. She's probably seen Karen do it once and decided to roll with it.]
