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. ))

[Early morning Wednesday, right around the time the sun is just coming up, the sickly sleepers of Gershwin high aren't going to be experiencing as sound a slumber as they might like. Ambassador is having to contend with the sound of little nails scratching at the door and Broadhurst having a steady thunk thunk thunk at theirs.]

Ambassador

[barberic]

[Benjamin doesn't sleep well anyway, so the sound of little nails gets him up quickly.

Is it Bruiser again?]

[stagemanagers]

[Not this time, Benji. It's Ruddiger and he looks a little wobbly, possibly because of the empty wine bottle clutched in his fat little raccoon arms.

(It's fine, he's a cartoon raccoon.)]

[barberic]

[Benjamin has to rub his eyes to check and make sure he's not seeing things. But when he's sure, he tries to squat down (and nearly falls - he's woozier than he thought) to be more on Ruddiger's level.]

Good morning, little fellow. It looks like you've had an early start to the day.

Not come to be a bad influence on Farrah, have you?

[He reaches out to try and take the bottle...?]

[stagemanagers]

[Ruddiger wobbles more and smacks at Benjamin's hands with with his tiny people hands. He looks...worried, along with being a little tipsy, and chitters. ]

[barberic]

[Benjamin frowns, then takes a knee to stabilize himself so he doesn't fall over.]

What's the matter? Do you need me to follow you?

[stagemanagers]

[Ruddiger chitters again in response and scampers over to the door to Broadhurst to climb onto the back of Gary's (who is currently trying to get Janis's attention) skateboard.]

[barberic]

[Alright, here we go- With a dad grunt, Benjamin heaves himself back up off his knees, taking one last look in Ambassador before he follows.

Hey, mods? Is Farrah still there?]

Re: Ambassador

[sugarlumps]

[A sleepily-thrown pillow makes it about a foot from LSP's bed in an effort to quiet the scrabbling.]

N' Finn, quit tryn' to cheat ob Huntress Wizard with me, 'm not like that...

[Soft snoring returns a moment later.]

Broadhurst

[fourbutts]

[ Janis, currently tangled up in the bed of the one living actual resident of this dorm, groans and sort of. Stumbles over to the door. ]

Way to rub it in... Alright, who's there?

[stagemanagers]

[It's everyone's favorite snail with a skateboard, Gary! When she opens the door he thunks his skateboard against her shin, albeit much gentler than he was being with the door.]

Meow.

[fourbutts]

Sure is a good thing you have that skateboard, huh? Everything okay, buddy?

[barberic]

[When he doesn't see Farrah where he left her, he comes running after Ruddiger.]

Janis! Have you seen Farrah this morning?

[fourbutts]

Uh... no? But I just woke up. Everything okay?

[barberic]

I'm not sure. Her little pet just woke me up, scratching on the door.

We need to follow them, I think they're trying to show us something.

[whatyouwant]

[Elle, resident squatter, looks up from her blanket nest a little bleary-eyed.]

Who's zat?

[stagemanagers]

[It's Gary and Ruddiger, nyooming by on a skateboard! The raccoon has wine, it's probably fine.]

[whatyouwant]

[Bruiser is very interested in this and would like to join them on the skateboard.]

[stagemanagers]

[Hop on, Brusier, Ruddiger will drop the empty wine bottle to act as a chihuahua car seat.]

[stagemanagers]

Meow.

[Ruddiger clambers onto the back of Gary's skateboard and, using his fat little raccoon legs, turns the skateboard and kicks off down the hallway, narrowly avoiding Rum Tum Tugger laying in the middle of the hallway.]

[barberic]

[God I hope you mean the stuffed animal.

Either way Benji's off after them.]

[fourbutts]

[ A BODY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED-

Yeah Janis is also running after them. ]

[whatyouwant]

[First Bruiser runs after them, so Elle naturally follows.]

Why does Ruddiger have a bottle of wine?

[whatyouwant]

[Elle will stop long enough to pick up the stuffed animal.]

[tailor_made]

[About twenty minutes after people have cleared out, Hester emerges from the school, still in her pink pajamas, bunny slippers and wrapped in a fuzzy cupcake robe. She squints at the tire marks on the pavement in the parking lot to the still slightly smoking car smashed into a tree.]

...What the fuck?
