Classmates in the bathroom, classmates in the bathroom at a...meeting??

[violentenvies]

[it’s cramped in here, and isn’t the best place for a meeting, but when you have to make do, you have to make do. Once everyone’s there, Salieri will pull over a chair that he brought in and situated next to the sink, and use it as a hand hold to stand on it, before lifting a hand for attention]

Everyone, if I might have your attention, please!

[it’s loud enough to get everyone’s attention--louder than he’s spoken (except to yell at Discord lol) in quite a while. Once he has quiet, though, he’ll begin:]

Thank you all for coming. Now, I’m sure we’re all rather disturbed by what the Wizard has attempted to taunt us with this week. However, we cannot give in to fear yet. There is still much of this place to be thoroughly explored, and it would be to our benefit to once again try to organize ourselves and create not only emergency supplies for everyone here, but explore every nook and cranny of this school and outside of it and gather as much information as we can to make our escape.

((BIG OOC NAVIGATION))

((FINAL OOC NOTE: The actual emergency backpacks/rations/medical kits creations can all be hand-waved or mentioned in top levels as people want. Once the volunteer groups are set, I'll make a spreadsheet of who's exploring what and everyone can figure out when they want to toplvl for that with their groups. HERE IS THE PRELIMINARY SPREADSHEET There's still a lot of places to be explored, so feel free to still grab one or more!))

[As soon as Farrah starts to sway like that, Salieri's immediately clambering down off his chair and pushing through the crowd of people to her, reaching out for her, to put hands on her shoulders, gently but firmly, to try and get her to look at him]

Farrah--Farrah, look at me. Look at me, ma fille--what are you talking about?

cw: cancer mention

[brokeforgood]

I could—- Riley wouldn’t stab me! Or—- maybe I could make it so they found Annleigh’s dads cancer sooner—- I’d never go to that stupid fucking school—- [She’s not looking at him, and her song changes to one more frantic—]

I want to claw my way back in time
I wouldn't ever cheer, I wouldn't try
I'd just join the chess club or ballet
And have a better definition of a bad day
I'm sorry I was reckless
I'm sorry I got drunk
I'm sorry about the Wizard
The Wizard fuckin sucks
And I'm just like oh my god, I can't do this forever

[tellthestory]

Wh - Farrah, Farrah.

[The Balladeer's quick to approach when he hears this as well, moving to stand with Salieri and reaching out to try and put a hand on her shoulder. He hates to hear such frantic songs - but especially, he thinks, from her.]

You're not dead anymore. You're here with us now. You don't - you don't have to go back there.

[He thinks? He hopes.]

Take a moment, remind yourself
To take a moment and find yourself.
Take a moment and ask yourself
If this is how you fall apart.

But it's not, but it's not, but it's not, but it's not, but it's not
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

[Salieri glances at the Balladeer as he comes over, and there's a palpable relief he feels as he speaks, slipping into music. Good--that's a good song, and he picks up the tune]

You've got nothing, got nothing, got nothing to fear.
We're here, we're here, we're here

[brokeforgood]

[Farrah’s expression further crumbles, but that may be a good thing in this case. She hears their song.

She’s still hugging herself so tightly, but she does let herself fall forward a little, knowing one or both of them will catch her.]

You’re right. I... can’t.

[violentenvies]

[Salieri reaches out to help catch her, knowing that the Balladeer will certainly be doing so as well, and more than glad to not be the only one helping Farrah through this]

You don't need to. No one needs to.

[tellthestory]

[He does move to catch her on the other side, helping to support her.]

We've got each other, okay? We don't need anything from the Wizard.
