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. ))

Yeah. But you like… thought I could be good. [She emphasizes the word again.] Like… a good person.

That’s worth a lot.

[violentenvies]

Of course I thought you could. You can. You are. [he squeezes her a little gently]

That shouldn't have ever been a question.

[brokeforgood]

[She smiles, and ducks her head down a little.]

I guess it doesn’t mean more just because you’re a big deal. It’s just as special. It’s also just like, a big “Fuck you Riley! My dad’s a famous music guy! What’s your dad do? Probably…. STUFF WITH MONEY?” [She has no idea what Riley’s parents do. Has anyone even seen Riley’s parents?]

[violentenvies]

[lskhdfs that makes him chuckle--he can't help it.]

Well, if that's how my fame could be weaponized, how could I refuse?

[brokeforgood]

You can't. You didn't even have a choice to start.

Forget being known as the girl from Epic Cheerleader Fail. I'll be Farrah, the girl with the famed Antonio Salieri as her dad.

[violentenvies]

...admittedly, I am rather fond of that. [he smirks]

[brokeforgood]

You're stuck with me, now.

[She beams, then scoots back out of his way.] ... Will you play me just a little bit of it?

[violentenvies]

And I'm glad of it. [warmly--but at that, he chuckles a little]

Very well. Just a bit. [as if he could truly refuse her anything, after all. And he starts to play a snippet of the music, a winding melody with an accompanying harmony, rising gently with a steady beat and meter]
