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. ))

Oh, sure. I was just going to put it in the kitchen.

[ He already ate his breakfast and didn't especially feel like helping himself to what came out of the vending machine today. He still looks a little concerned, but if Benjamin wants the pie then who is he to stop him? ]

[barberic]

[Benjamin nods. Picks it up, and then dumps it in the nearest trash can.]

It isn't fit to eat.

[Explanation??? no. But he seems to relax a little once the meat pie is out of sight.]

[themuseabandonsyou]

Oh. [ Yeah okay. Orpheus just watches him do that with a look of confusion and mild concern. ] How did you know? It seemed alright to me.

[barberic]

It's--

[How... does he explain this. Without confessing to being an accessory to cannibalism.]

Well, it's a little suspicious, isn't it? How it's always hot like it's right out of the oven. Makes you wonder where the meat's coming from.

[themuseabandonsyou]

I guess? I just assumed it was like how one of the pies comes out of there on fire sometimes.

[ Orpheus gives the chocolate strawberry pie a skeptical look, because fortunately for Benjamin he's very easily influenced. ]

I guess you're also not supposed to eat food that lizards have touched, and there are a lot of lizards in there... [ he says, frowning thoughtfully. ]

[barberic]

[That makes him pause and give Orpheus a queer look.]

Wait, what? I hadn't heard that about lizards before.

[themuseabandonsyou]

I think it's because they can carry diseases that are mild for them, but can make humans really sick? I think my mom told me that. Maybe she was just trying to get me to stop bringing lizards into the house, though.

[barberic]

[The ridiculousness actually gets a small snort laugh out of him.]

Could go either way, but I don't know. Not many lizards in London. At least, outside of the zoo.

[themuseabandonsyou]

[ Orpheus isn't totally sure why that's funny, but he's glad to see Benjamin lighten up a bit, and smiles back at him. ]

I live out in the desert, so there's a lot of them around if you know where to look. I used to go out and practice singing for them all he time when I was really little, and sometimes they'd follow me home if I did well enough.
