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! ))

[ She takes the bracelet and starts to tie it on. Like with the others she sings again. ]

The wind is flowing smoothly,
Is it inviting us?
Let's try heading towards it,
It's better than standing still
We have to go already
This painful feeling,
We have to embrace this moment
Together towards the Brightest Melody

[ She finishes tying. The bracelet she made for Salieri is not quite as elaborate as the other ones, rather it seems to just be a simple line of beads.. but there is a bit of a pattern. A white and black pattern that resembles piano keys. On one end of the row there's a single orange bead and on the other opposite end there's a blue one. ]

There! Do you like it?

[Salieri holds still while she ties it on, and something goes tight and warm in his chest as she sings, quietly. When Rina's finished tying it on, he cups his wrist with his other hand, bringing it closer to his face so he can get a better look at it, turning it back and forth, noting the piano keyboard pattern on it. Before coming here, he hadn't received any gifts that hadn't had strings attached, but now...between this and the ones from Spongebob, Varian, and Farrah, it's enough to make his throat go tight again, and he has to clear it, blinking a little faster as his eyes go wet]

It's lovely, Rina. Thank you.

[he does pause, however, noting the orange and blue beads]

Might I ask...what are these two for?

[samefacesyndrome]

[ Rina beams - well the board does but you know - before giggling. ]

That’s a surprise for later!

I’ll give you a little hint though: they match someone else’s.

[violentenvies]

Oh? [he looks a bit bemused at that, at the mischievous face she holds up]

So I need to figure out whose bracelet it matches, then?

[samefacesyndrome]

Mmm... I'm sure you will once I've given the bracelets to them.

[ Even she knows she's not that subtle. ]

I'm really glad you like it though... I hope everyone likes their presents.

[violentenvies]

I'm certain they will. You have quite a talent for this beadwork, as well.

[samefacesyndrome]

You think so? I only learned today actually... but that makes me happy to hear!

[ But then she remembers... she still has to finish the project. ]

Ah--! I should get back to work though!

[ THE SECRET WORK ]

[violentenvies]

Of course. [he starts to move to stand--but pauses before doing so fully, reaching out to hug her, gently, if she'll accept it] Thank you very much for the gift. I'll treasure it dearly.
