Week Five

[stagemanagers]

[Last week, you had your very first minor body pileup! Granted, the Balladeer's death was entirely unrelated to anything, but at least he died as he lived - getting completely fucked up in some kind of carnival-themed hellscape. Only two days later, another terrible accident took Rina and Varian both from you. It's just been one of those weeks, huh? At least you got to add both of their corpses to your weird growing collection!

Again, you'll wake up this morning with another new snippet of memory. You'll also find that the stairs in the lobby are no longer blocked. You can only access one part of the second floor, but it seems like there's some neat stuff up there!

Outside, a few things seem to have changed. For one, the weather has turned - it'll be overcast this week, with periodic rain and even scattered thunderstorms. For another, the bushes around that rock out by the football field have bloomed. That's nice.

Get to it, friends! I'm sure everything will be fine this week!]


Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

(( Be sure to submit your memory regain and your AC for this week! As always, Hester's office hours and the merch booth remain available. ))

[So after the missing person's scene Elle and Angus nearly kicked off that morning, Elle decides to try something new for her workout and heads to the pool. When she was poking around on Monday she found one of the lockers had her favorite pink bikini. She can be found either swimming leisurely laps, or relaxing on the edge of the pool.

After the meeting she checks out the Foreign Language Club and immediately starts speaking Japanese. She really should have learned from the Mime club incident. Oh well, at least the snacks are good, and Bruiser is once more enjoying himself. It's a good thing Elle trained him with the combo vocal commands and hand signals!

Later on, just after dinner time, Elle can be found in the library pouring over more law books. Several are marked up with post-it notes and there is a notebook under her right hand filled with elegant pink script. The books are all focused on criminal law, specifically murder.]

[Angus walks by the pool entrance and gives Elle a double thumbs up.]

[whatyouwant]

[Elle smiles and waves at him.]

You wanna join? The water feels great!

[mcfife]

And if we miss the club meeting?

[It's fine if he's late, anyway. The clues will still be there.]

I'll go change, hold on. [Into the non-cursed boy's locker room he goes.]

[whatyouwant]

We don't have to swim for long! The club will be there for a bit.

[When Angus comes back out, Elle is relaxing on a couple of pool noodles.]

No bodies, right?

[mcfife]

[He's back, and he's got shiny green swimming trunks!]

No. No bodies at all. [And there will NEVER be one. Angus slips into the pool, slowly at first to test the water, then all at once.] Och, I missed being in the water!

[whatyouwant]

Right? It's the perfect temperature and everything.

[She leisurely paddles over to him, handing him a pool noodle to float on.]

My parents have a heated pool at home. It's even nicer than this one.

[mcfife]

Why heated? Isn't part of the joy of swimming the thrill of the cool water washing over you?

[He swims to the noodles and rests his arms next to Elle's]

library

[comeandfindme]

[ A recipe book in hand, Peregrine passes Elle in the library. She seems tired, has some stray flour on her face. As she passes, she gives a wave. ]

Evening, Elle.

Me, putting that one year of Japanese to work

[whatyouwant]

こんばんは, ペリグリンちゃん!

[Elle frowns and grabs the spare pad next to her. AFter writing she holds it up.]

Good evening, Peregrine!

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine's been a little busy today and therefore hadn't even dropped by the club. She has no idea what's going on! ]

Uhhh. Was that...Japanese?

[whatyouwant]

[Scribble scribble scribble.]

I think so? It started after I went to the Foreign Language club.

[comeandfindme]

...Dodged a bullet not going to that one, I guess.

[whatyouwant]

[Elle nods emphatically.]

Not sure if this is better or worse than the Mime club.

[Another note appears a moment later.

What book did you grab?

[comeandfindme]

Oh, I was just...putting something back. [ She holds it up. It's a cookbook! ]

[whatyouwant]

そうですね?

[Whatever she said, it sounded interested. Another note passed over.]

What were you cooking?

[comeandfindme]

[ It’s about now that Peregrine wonders why she’s never really gotten into anime, it could have helped her with this. ]

It, uh… Just a cake. It was for— it’s Connor’s birthday.

[whatyouwant]

そうですか.

[Elle gives her a sad smile.]

What kind did you make him?

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine thinks she should hate that look. But...really, it kind of just reminds her of when she was younger and would cry to Jacob. ]

Apple. I wasn't sure what kind he'd like, but...I know he likes apples.

[ Likes. Not liked. ]

[whatyouwant]

That sounds really good! I'm sure he would have loved it.

[comeandfindme]

...Maybe. It's cooling right now, but I don't really know how it tastes. One side's kind of...down? I don't know, maybe I just didn't fill the batter right...

[ She's nervous? He's not even going to eat it but she's nervous, and it feels silly. ]

[whatyouwant]

Taste is more important than looks. I've only baked a few times, but if you follow the recipe it should taste great!

[comeandfindme]

...Not...really sure about that either. Had to use a mix of different apples. The recipe called for tart, but, I think some of 'em were sweet.

[whatyouwant]

Sounds tasty to me! You should try again sometime!

[comeandfindme]

What, like...just because? Do people do that, just...bake for fun?
