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! ))

[Salieri listens as Orpheus plays. Before, when he'd played for Salieri, that alone had been one of the most sublime musical experiences of his life.

Now? That seems almost dull in comparison to the way that Orpheus spins the melody on his true instrument. The "lyre" seems to sing beneath his fingers, the dance a whirlwind of notes, lifting joyfully into the air in a way that has Salieri unthinkingly tapping his toe to the beat and smiling widely, as something like joy and elation seem to expand in his chest, conjured up by the jaunty melody.

By the end, as the music slows, he can still feel that energy thrumming through him, though it's less ecstatic and more a contemplative happiness. And as Orpheus finishes and looks up at him, he can't help but burst into appaluse]

Bravo! [he's beaming] Bravo, my friend, that was--that was amazing!

[ Orpheus just laughs, delighted by his friend's reaction and caught up in the elation of playing one of his songs, the energy of it flowing through him. ]

Thank you! [ he says, grinning. ] I wrote that a while ago, for a friend's wedding, but it's still one of my favorite pieces I've ever come up with. I'm really glad you liked it!
