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. ))

[ 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?

[barberic]

Not the most important question right now, but a good one.

[stagemanagers]

[A snail, a drunk raccoon and a chihuahua get on a skateboard-

The animals dexterously skid around corners and down the hall until they get to the closed from door. Sadly, as good as they are on wheels, only one of them has thumbs and he's a dog car seat right now.

Outside, there's the sound of obnoxious honking.]

[barberic]

[Let's be honest, three pets on a skateboard are not really going to cause a grown man to break into more than a power walk or maybe a jog.

When he hears the ruckus from outside, though, he breaks into a run.]

cw: implied drinking and driving

[stagemanagers]

[The first thing Benjamin is going to notice is that someone has been littering up a storm in the courtyard. There are several wine bottles (none thankfully broken) littered on the ground.

And in the parking lot there's the car, doing sloppy figure-eight donuts.]

[barberic]

[Well this is a sight.

Benjamin stops at the edge of the parking lot and immediately sticks his arm out to stop anyone coming behind him (hopefully the animals have more sense than to skateboard out in the way.]

What is going on out here?

[Uh oh. That's an angry Dad Voice.]

[whatyouwant]

[Elle stops when Benji throws out his arm, but she is able to get a view of the scene.]

Oh my god, we need to stop that car.

[barberic]

Wait here, and don't let anyone get closer.

[And Ben's going to go out into the parking lot and.

Stand in the path of the car, with his arms outstretched.]

[whatyouwant]

BENJAMIN!

[Elle tries to lurch out to pull him out of the way. THIS IS NOT HOW WE STOP CARS!!]

[Good news. Farrah’s in the car, vibing. Bad news.

Farrah’s in the car vibing. She’s trying to keep her eyes shut, but they’re so damn noisy out there, and when she peeks through her eyes—-]

[2/2]

[brokeforgood]

Spongebob! Dad! [She’s just gonna. try and. twist that steering wheel.

I didn’t mention she’s in the passenger seat. She’s in the passenger seat.]

[employeeoftheyear]

[The person in the driver's seat meanwhile

Is Spongebob.]

Hey, is that...?

[And then it hits him.]

OH TARDAR SAUCE!

[He also twists the steering wheel.

With their combined force, the steering wheel turns really far. More than they would need to just to steer out of the way]

Re: cw: implied drinking and driving

[sugarlumps]

[this thread isn't morbid and/or dumb enough yet so here's where LSP starts catching up, having been woken by all this fucking noise]

[Just kind of slumping her way down the halls, supported against the walls, in a coccoon of blankets.]

Guys'it's fine my cab's here, I'll send one for you all soooon-

[barberic]

[Ben stops her with the other arm.]

Be careful.

[sugarlumps]

[She just kind of bumps into his arm. Twice.]

M'fine, I know how much to tip, promise.

[stagemanagers]

[Gosh, LSP, it's a good thing Benji stopped you before you could crawl through the door. You could have smooshed the cute little origami figures on the ground by some of the wine bottles.]

[sugarlumps]

[For the benefit of less fever-addled sleepy characters, what kind of origami are we talking, besides "probably sad".]

[mcfife]

Farrah?

[This had better be payback for disappearing last week and sending her running outside. Angus follows the animals, six lizards in his arms, and then towards that annoying noise.]

[stagemanagers]

[LIZARD PARTY.

Follow the animals on the skateboard, Angus! They know the way.]

[mcfife]

[Follow your heart, let it guide you through the dark

Or just the wise racoon and his followers. He'll try to have his lizards join in on the skateboard fun as well; they deserve some happiness.]

[stagemanagers]

[God.

Yeah, just dump 'em on there. Shower Ruddiger in lizards.]

[mcfife]

[They need mental stimulation, all these new friends are good for them.

But yeah, he's still following and wondering where the hell they're headed off too.]

[stagemanagers]

[Watch your step, Angus! Don't step on the origami on the ground.]

[mcfife]

[Just going to...pick that up and carry it carefully. Someone has been messy out here and he won't let their art go to waste.

...But he's gonna be careful with the pointy bits. They're starting to look a bit too much like knives to make him comfortable.]
