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! ))

[Farrah invites herself over, to perch on the side of Cass’ bed, listening as intently as she can. Look, she’s not always the best emotional support, and sometimes she can be rude, but it’s never on purpose. She cares!]

Whoa. That’s... rough. A lot.

Adults suck, sometimes. They think they’re protecting you, but...

[Cassandra's not about to stop her, a possible first. She enjoyed her space, but that was the furthest thing from her mind, even as her body screamed for it. She cares, surely. They all must care. Because if they didn't... Well.]

Yup.

[Understatement of the century, Farrah.]

But they're only thinking of what's best for them. Nobody trusts you, or gives you what you deserve. They just... take it. [She sits up, swinging her legs over the side of her bed to set herself beside Farrah.] And.... now, I feel like a traitor to my kingdom just for feeling this way.

[Farrah scoots in closer when Cass sits beside her, and if she lets her, she’ll even lean against her shoulder. It’s a newfound habit, from the time she’s spent here. And as Cassandra finishes, Farrah does… something real rude to do to someone who is confiding in you.

Farrah snots. Then quickly tries to explain the bad reaction away.]

Sorry—- Sorry, that was bad—- just. Cassandra. I don’t know you super great, but I can tell you don’t have a single traitor bone in your body. You’re like, the most responsible person here.

[Cass will allow it, if only because she understands Farrah's trying to help. Hm, it's funny. Ordinarily, she's the one that has folks leaning on her for support. Not to comfort.

...Well, that's absolutely a flinch against her. Thanks for that, Farrah.]

Huh... Thanks? [That, at least, seemed to help? Maybe?] I know I'm not the best at opening up - it kind of makes me queasy. And... I should probably get to know all of you better than I have.

[Her expression darkens again.]

But you're wrong. All my life, I wanted to serve my kingdom, to make everyone proud of me. Except now, I've betrayed my friends, because it turns out I've never even had a chance.
