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! ))

[ HM... well, at least something feels genuine in this cursed-ass stage. Might be worse! Why are you such a creep, Wizard!

Anything else to note about the bubble or the inside thereof, or is it time to look at a head? ]

[Next to her, the Balladeer rests his hands on the railing, right on the edge of where it stops to allow access to the bubble.]

...he actually does care about her.

[That's. Hm.]
fourbutts: (50)

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-06-24 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ She frowns. ]

Or at least he thinks he does.

[ That bitch!!! ]

[personal profile] tellthestory 2021-06-24 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
People can care and still be wrong.

[Hey, something else he learned from Peregrine!]

But I don't know. That sort of thing - I never had a family, you know?
fourbutts: (56)

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-06-24 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
... Yeah, they can be.

[ She hates this! ]

Mine are decent - what I remember about them, anyway. They're not in the show, so...
tellthestory: (♪ giusto ♫)

[personal profile] tellthestory 2021-06-24 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
...oh. I...

[What does that mean, for them? For her? The same thing that the vague, off-stage presence of the presidents meant for him? But then, he was never intended to know them.]

I'm sorry. [He chews on his lip, looking down over the stage for a moment.] At least for now...we're sort of getting our own little family together, I guess? I heard Farrah call Salieri dad the other day.

[He hadn't quite known what to make of it - is that how it works? But he's happy for her.]
fourbutts: (29)

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-06-24 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
... You know, yeah. I guess going through something like this is a pretty good shortcut to being family.

[ A beat. ]

I'm like three talks from calling Varian my little brother, I get it. So yeah. We're family, I guess. One big, weird family.
tellthestory: (♪ allegro ♫)

[personal profile] tellthestory 2021-06-24 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. That's kinda nice.

[He likes that. It's enough to make him smile even while he's looking down at the terrible striped awning of the shooting - the dunking booth.

He looks up again, at Janis.]


I'll be...I don't know. [Does he fit the "dad" mold? He wasn't made to fit any familial mold, really. So maybe authorial intent doesn't matter. But it's certainly a title he feels wrong claiming for himself; it's not like Salieri told Farrah, it was the other way around. He'd hate to get overly familiar and make it weird.] I'll be your weird narration uncle, or something like that. Show you all the ropes, whatever uncles do!
fourbutts: (29)

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-06-24 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ Maybe he can work his way up, eventually. ]

Weird narration uncle it is. Thanks, Uncle B.
tellthestory: (♪ magnifico ♫)

[personal profile] tellthestory 2021-06-24 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe one day he will be a Weird Narration Dad?

But for now, he flushes and looks away to hide his smile. This does not work; his joy is palpable.]


Of course. Anytime.
fourbutts: (72)

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-06-24 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Then yeah! What's up with this head? Is there a sad little chair where the man sits? Does he have to pedal to make it go? ]
fourbutts: (49)

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-06-24 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ Alright then! Remote control! ]

So he's watching us from somewhere else...

[ Anything else unusual about this head? How are its vibes? ]
fourbutts: (86)

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-06-24 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ Janis's brow furrows. Marina and the Diamonds? At this time of night, localized entirely within this thread?

She steps back, towards the catwalk. ]


Do you hear it too?
tellthestory: (♪ non troppo ♫)

[personal profile] tellthestory 2021-06-24 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head, like he's trying to rid himself of it. The Balladeer absolutely does not recognize the song, and he can't seem to find his way through the looping chorus to any of the rest.]

Why is it skipping like that?
fourbutts: (51)

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-06-24 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
I don't-

[ Janis grabs at the railing. ]

What the fuck?
tellthestory: (♪ moto ♫)

[personal profile] tellthestory 2021-06-24 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
[The Balladeer also grabs at the railing.]

Janis?!
fourbutts: (86)

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-06-24 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ When faced with danger, Janis historically doesn't. React well. Not violently, not even poorly, but just. Not well. The last real conversation she had with Regina George is proof enough of that. She goes, well, kind of stupid with fear.

So when the catwalk starts to give out, as Janis stands there, next to Hester's bubble and the Wizard's stupid fucking head...

She freezes. And feels the start of the fall. ]
tellthestory: (♪ moto ♫)

[personal profile] tellthestory 2021-06-24 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[The Balladeer, on the other hand, has always lived with danger. He's lived his whole life with guns waved in his face, with invective shouted his way, dancing right on the edge of what they would tolerate from him. He misjudged that in the end. But right up until that last moment, he'd been cool and defiant. He'd seen where he was meant to go and what he was meant to do, which in this case is practically being shouted at him:]

Run!

[He starts to scramble backwards - just for a second, until he sees that Janis isn't coming.

He can make it to the ladder if he runs. He's closer to it, because he made her go up first. She said they could be family. He lunges.

His hand finds the front of her shirt, clutching at the fabric and pulling her close. But that isn't enough. The catwalk is still falling, the whole catwalk, and now he doubts that either of them could make it down the ladder in time. He's had a family member for a total of two minutes, and he can't even keep her safe? He can't protect -

His eyes fall on Hester's bubble.

The Balladeer spins Janis, almost as if they were dancing for a moment, and shoves her hard into the bubble's little seat. And then he falls. He hits the striped awning of the dunking booth below, but this is not a cartoon, and it is only a set piece. The structure collapses beneath him, in a horrible crash of splintering wood and shattering plastic.]

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-06-24 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ It happens in slow motion. Not really, probably, but she imagines it does. The Balladeer pushing forward, spinning her around...

Is this how Hester feels, every week? Everything looks so small from up here. So distant, suddenly, and yet... so close. ]


B!

[ It's a loud, sharp cry, but... Janis is here. She's reaching towards someone she can't reach, someone she'll never reach again if she doesn't think of something - she took down Regina George, she should be able to...

to...

The loop of the-

Thanks to the Balladeer, Janis lives. ]
