itscurtains | Week Five

[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. ))

[ She remembers that name. That—

Oh.

Oh, that's— ]

...She was there. With Nana, and Angus. This is her.

Yes. Claudine Saijo. My rival, and only equal on stage.

[Maya's voice wobbles, just a little.]

These are the three people that matter most to me. All dead.

[ It's a huge and heavy weight that Peregrine feels right now, being on the same level as Janis and this Claudine, this girl who clearly means so very much to Maya. It's a weight that brings with it questions, like, what about her family, her parents? There's so much more to know about Tendo Maya, and yet Peregrine is one of the people who matters most to her?

It's something to dig into and examine later.

Peregrine runs her fingers over Maya's knuckles cupping her cheek. ]

He's just trying to scare us. These... They're not pictures, they're his nightmares.

I... hope you are right. [Maya's eyes close. She pulls the photo back, tucking it into her breast pocket once more. There's still a faint tremble to her hand but. she steadies herself for the time being.]

I let him harm Claudine. He will not lay a hand on either of you as well. I promise that.

I believe you. [ And she squeezes Maya's hand, pulling it away from her face and pressing it to her chest. Right over her heart. ]

Just...don't get yourself hurt...doing it. Okay?
