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! ))

Private for Discord

[violentenvies]

[it’s late. Or it's early. It's hard to tell at this hour, and Salieri feels exhausted. The meeting on Tuesday afternoon took a lot out of him, and yet somehow, he can’t sleep. It probably is around 3 or 4 in the morning, and all he can do is continue to lay here and stare at the ceiling. Between the visions of Mozart’s death that plague him when he closes his eyes, to the worries constantly running through his head about everyone here, his concern for them…

Well, it’s obvious he won’t be getting any sleep this way. He needs a distraction. The more he’s alone with his thoughts, the worse this is going to get. The biggest obstacle then becomes the fact that most people are rightfully asleep now, and he wouldn’t want to wake them. However...there is one person he thinks he could wake up and convince to come with him, with the proper bribery.

Carefully and quietly, Salieri gets himself to his feet and goes to his trunk, trying to be as silent as possible as he fishes out the chess set and the bottle of wine he got fron the vending machine, tucking them under his arm. From there, he’s tiptoeing out of the room as quietly as he can, especially paying careful attention to closing the door without a sound behind him as he steps into the hallway.

[disharmonizes]

[As it so happens, Discord is... out and about in the hallway as well. He's actually already past Broadhurst and rounding the corner as Salieri steps out the door, so.

Good timing?]

[violentenvies]

[Salieri blinks at that, straightening]

Discorde? [That was more quiet, to himself, before he going to walk quickly down the hall, stepping around the corner]

Monsieur Discorde. [This time, to get his attention, but not too loudly. It's an atrocious hour, after all, and everyone is asleep]

[disharmonizes]

[Discord stops walking, doing a half turn looking back, blinking.]

Oh, Maestro. [And he huffs a bit, crossing his arms.] My, my, out at this late an hour? Shouldn't you be setting a good example and getting enough sleep?

[violentenvies]

[at that, Salieri huffs, leaning a shoulder against the wall casually, though he can't really...fold his arms while he's holding wine and a chess set slkdfhs]

I could ask you the same thing. And here I thought we were supposed to be informing each other of our movements? [arched eyebrow, but there's definitely a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth]

[disharmonizes]

Well, I didn't want to wake you, of course.

Besides, I'm Discord. Since when do I follow the rules? [He glances over at that... awkward arm folding. Bud.] What's all that for?

[violentenvies]

I'm shocked you were worried about waking me. I would've thought you would've enjoyed that little petty annoyance.

[drawled.

but uh...as for all that...

Salieri glances down at those items, feeling a bit embarrassed, but he straightens anyway, clearing his throat]

Well, as it stands, I was, in fact, attempting to follow the rules.

[disharmonizes]

By skulking around in the dark, oh, yes, I see. Well done.

[violentenvies]

By telling my partner where I was going. [dryly, with a pointed look]

[disharmonizes]

You were going to wake me up, Maestro? It's important to get enough rest!

[violentenvies]

Safety first. [drawled.

But...he pauses, almost seeming to hesitate]

Actually...truth be told, I was hoping to bribe you out of bed. [he lifts the wine bottle, arching an eyebrow]

Admittedly, wine and chess don't constitute my best attempt at bribery, but my options at the moment are rather limited.

[disharmonizes]

Bribery! Does your moral depravity know no end? You should be ashamed.

[All said while, of course, looking entirely too pleased with himself.]

Well, I suppose I should stick to our little buddy system...

[violentenvies]

I know, I'm utterly terrible. [he pushes off the wall, rolling his eyes, starting to advance in his direction.]

And yet, it seems that my slipping morals have worked to my advantage. [Salieri'll offer Discord a smirk as he steps past him, continuing to head down the hall in the direction he was already going.]

[disharmonizes]

Only the one time, let's not make a habit of it!

[Said in a tone implying he should 100% make a habit out of it. But, off they go, then.]

Just a sleepless night, then, Maestro?

[violentenvies]

Mmn. I could ask you the same question. [he glances sidelong at Discord] I thought I was going to have to go to Ambassador and wake you up.

[disharmonizes]

Oh, it's far too dull in there, I'd lose my mind. Sometimes I need to shake things up a bit.

[violentenvies]

At this early in the morning?

[disharmonizes]

Sorry, should chaos be sticking to a schedule?

[violentenvies]

Not at all, only...

Chaos does know that it needs to sleep sometime, correct? [said with dry amusement]

[disharmonizes]

There's so many hours in a day, Maestro, sometime can be whenever.

And you really can't be throwing stones right now.

[violentenvies]

No, I suppose you're right this time.

Lucky you, though. [he sounds amused] Who knows what you'd get up to on your own.

[disharmonizes]

Something terrible for everyone involved, of course. What else?

[violentenvies]

What else, certainly. [dryly, as he steps into the library]

I haven't forgotten waking up to those mannequins.

[disharmonizes]

Oh, you ran into one! I hadn't been sure, but I'm so glad to hear it.

[violentenvies]

I did. [he can't help but roll his eyes] I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that I woke half the dorm because it startled me so badly.
