Week Six

[stagemanagers]

[Last week, in It's Curtains, the weather changed, and with it your fortune in Dads. Discord took Salieri out - or perhaps Salieri took Discord out - and left the survivors with that much less impulse control. Nonetheless, a visit from a new friend might have provided a little bit of much-needed hope?

On Sunday morning, you'll find that the other side of the second floor has opened up - as well as the actual intended path to reach the roof garden. You can finally stop climbing up that rope every time you want to have a picnic or secret lover's rendezvous!

Outside, the weather seems to have calmed down. It's sunny again, with rather a lot of clouds. Though it's warm, the atmosphere seems very...still.]


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. ))

[He feels a jolt in him when he sees that. He heard about these before from his classmates, but's never actually seen them, especially one that hits really close to home.

He looks around for a sewing needle and he carves a message into the wall with it.]

I'm with you.

[stagemanagers]

[But nothing happens.

There's more carvings around the room, low to the ground, a continuing messy, clumsy string of pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease.]

[employeeoftheyear]

[... Huh

Are there more of them?

[stagemanagers]

[Sure are!]

[employeeoftheyear]

[Hm!!!

He's going to just... follow it then!]

[stagemanagers]

[The carvings are heavy around the area that was previously obscured by the shelf, but they aren't visible around it. They don't seem to appear anywhere that's visible at first glance when one enters a room, generally speaking.]

[employeeoftheyear]

[Well that makes sense.

Any other unusual carvings that he could have missed?]

[stagemanagers]

[There are! Much of it is similar to the begging you've already seen:]

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE -

But off by itself in a corner, you can find something a little bit different, in larger and more deliberate letters:]

NEVER GIVE UP

[employeeoftheyear]

"Never give up"?

[He echoes the words, seeming to hit pretty close.

Gently, he places a hand over the carving. It might be carvings, but does it look like it could have been written by the same person who wrote the begging carvings?]

[stagemanagers]

[You can't really do a handwriting check on carvings; they're all just sorta sharp and angular cuts, like anyone who isn't a woodworker or something would probably make. They do look like they could've been made with the same implement, though!]
