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. ))

Comments

cw: car crash

[stagemanagers]

[When Spongebob twists the steering wheel, the car jerks abruptly to the side and careens straight into the forest tree line. There's a horrid crunch of metal against wood, the whoosh of airbags inflating and then, after a beat, a long drawn out scream of the horn.]

[barberic]

[And he's off running toward the crash, yelling for them.]

Farrah! Spongebob!

[mcfife]

[The animals are safe, but all this happens so quickly that Angus forgets to react for a second.

Farrah and Spongebob.

He turns and runs for the car.]

Spongebob! Farrah! [They have to be okay! They have to be okay and patched up! They can't die, not after everything!]

[fourbutts]

[ shit shit shit ]

Shit shit shit-

[ And Janis is also running over! ]

[brokeforgood]

[Speaking of screaming?

Anyone else hear that beautiful sound?

Panic and stress (panic and stress)
Oh ain't it the best? (Ain't it the best)
The sound of heart (heart)
Exploding inside a chest (exploding inside a chest)
It fills you with pride
We're ruining lives
Ain't it the sweetest noise in town, that beautiful sound?

Farrah’s screaming]

[mcfife]

[Oh thank the gods she's still alive.

But she's screaming. Angus runs up, praying that she is only frightened and not injured at all. That neither of them are hurt.]

cw: suicide attempt mentions for this thread

[brokeforgood]

[Gee that’s a lot of blood dripping down her face. And she won’t stop screaming.

But it quickly becomes clear that it’s angry screaming, and less screams of pain. She wails in fury.]

The fucking seatbelt—-

[mcfife]

You're good, Farrah, it's okay. [He reaches out for her, a hand on her shoulder.] Are you hurt? We have to get you to the Nurse's Office as quick --

[Is she wearing her seatbelt?]

[whatyouwant]

[Seeing the others are on Spongebob's side of the car, Elle goes to Farrah's.]

[employeeoftheyear]

[Spongebob, meanwhile, is silent, deathly still. His head resting on the airbag.]

[mayavericks]

[Well this is. Something of a kerfuffle to wake up to. She'd only been dimly aware of the commotion outside of her door, and had been slow to follow the others. She makes it out just in time to hear the crunching of metal. It doesn't matter who it is -- Maya's flying toward the wreckage, barefoot and in a nightgown.

She stops short, however, when she sees who's at the wheel.]

No. No, no, no.

[barberic]

[Benjamin is not a doctor. He's not even from the era when barbers were still marginally trained in surgery.

He hears Farrah screaming, sees Angus going to her side of the car, and as much as he wants to be there for her he's the first one at the other side.

So he wrenches the driver's side door open.]

Oh, God--

[Benjamin's blood freezes, his motions jerky as he reaches out, stops short, then reaches out again and makes contact, nudging his shoulder.]

Stay with me, boy. Come on. You're alright.

1/2

[employeeoftheyear]

[The first thing Benjamin will notice is the blood. It seems like Spongebob took the brunt of the car crash.

When Benjamin shakes him, he stirs, groaning a little. It seems he's alive, for now.

It hurts. It hurts so much to open his eyes. He just wants to sleep so badly. But through it all, he forces himself to open his eyes, to figure out what happened.]

cw Suicide

[employeeoftheyear]

[When his eyes meet Benjamin, he gives him a weak, crooked smile. He seems to be trying to say something.

It takes him a few attempts, between the injury and his clouded brain, but eventually he spits out:]

Did I do it, Mr. Salieri?

[barberic]

[Benjamin's breath freezes in his chest, his blue eyes meeting Spongebob's. Eventually, he swallows hard, and gives him a pained smile.

Whatever "it" is, whoever he's seeing... It's more important to keep him calm.]

You did it, my boy.

Come on, let's get you out of there.

[Rather than waste time and possibly hurt him worse by reaching over him to unbuckle the seatbelt (and because he doesn't understand what a seatbelt is), he will just whip out his razor and start cutting through the canvas straps.]

[fourbutts]

[ Lesbian #2 is also here to see if spongebob squarepants just fucking died! She's so distressed she's not even going to comment on her bracket text! ]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[She hears the commotion. She knows who's probably in that car.

Breathlessly, she's running over with the rest to be the lesbian #3 in this mess.]

Spongebob! Spongebob, wake up!

[employeeoftheyear]

Heeey Cass, I learned something fun today.

I'm apparently a better driver when I'm drunk.

[comeandfindme]

[ Peregrine, who is not a dad or a lesbian, is bundled in blankets and watching from a distance in muted horror. ]

[defyingfrigidity]

[Aaaaand here's lesbian #4

Oh no. Oh no no no no. God it was just- it was just yesterday, Spongebob asking her in the feverish haze if Salieri and Discord would be proud of him. This is- no, this can't...]

Spongebob! Why-

[employeeoftheyear]

Hi Elsa...

[His head rolls lazily to meet her eyes.]

Wha's up?

[sugarlumps]

[Everyone's yelling. It sounds bad.]

[She hear's Spongebob's name.]

...yeah, 'll go find Bob. Make breakfast for everyone. Heeeeee's cool like that.

[And she's gonna kind of caterpillar off. If or when anyone looks for her once the drama's wound down a bit, she'll be curled up on one of the cafeteria tables about halfway to the kitchen, snoring quietly.]

[employeeoftheyear]

Okay, Lumpy...

[He's just gonna.

Awkwardly try to flail out of his seat to go make breakfast.

Someone please stop him.]

[musacal]

[ Is seeing all this from the school in her groundhog suit before she has to run off because she knows if she goes over and tries to help it'll look strange to the Wizard but boy she really wants to go over and help because UHHHHHHHHH

what the actual fuck ]

[comeandfindme]

[ sorry nana we suck ]
