Week Six

[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. ))

You can do it! Reach for the highest peak! [He means the roof.]

Be a man!
We must be swift as the coursing river,
Be a man!
With all the force of a great typhoon,
Be a man!
With all the strength of a raging fire,
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon!

[ Singing while trying to do something that requires a lot of sustained physical effort and concentration seems kind of counter-productive, but things being what they are Orpheus joins in anyway as he hauls himself upwards. ]

Time is racing towards us
And the Wizard's ire
Together we'll grow stronger
And we'll all survive

We're a kind and clever, determined lot
And he hasn't got a clue
Cut us down and we'll rise anew

[He's getting up there! Orpheus can and will climb a mountain for his wife!]

Be a man!

[He grips the bottom of the rope, standing under Orpheus in case he falls.]

[ Orpheus makes it to the top of the wall, the rope pulled almost horizontal in his hands, arms straining from the sustained effort. He's shaking a little, sweat beading on his brow, but with one final lunge he manages to get his hands up on the lip of the edge and half-haul, half-throw himself over. He rolls sideways onto the roof, exhausted, but throws a fist up in the air in triumph.

A little shakily;

Yeah!

[Angus leaps into the air with a fist high above his head. He did it! Orpheus braved the heights of the brick mountain and reached the peak!]

The peak lies before you now
The rooftop in sight
So raise your head to the heavens above
And I hail the king!

[ After a moment longer to rest, Orpheus leans carefully over the lip of the roof and waves. ]

I did it! [ he shouts down. ] I don't think I can climb back down the same way, but I did it!

[ He's actually not sure he'll be able to use his arms at all come tomorrow, but he can deal with that when he gets there. ]
mcfife: excited (☀️weilding the hammer)

[Now you'll get so good at hugging your wife!]

Drop the hook, we'll do this again tomorrow!
themuseabandonsyou: (smile)

[personal profile] themuseabandonsyou 2021-07-15 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Right!

[ VERY carefully, so as not to cause a temporal paradox by injuring or killing Angus, Orpheus picks up the grappling hook and tosses it back down to him. ]

I think I'm gonna go take a shower and lie down for a bit now? But thank you for helping me!
