WEEK 6

[Six weeks later, and eleven performers remain.

The opera house is much the same when Monday morning dawns this week. It seems you've truly gone as high as you can go - there is no fifth floor, and no sign of any other new areas. The air has grown colder, like perhaps someone failed to adjust the heating for the winter weather that's supposedly happening just outside. Javert and Astarte's stars are still firmly affixed to their doors; it seems you might have to try a little harder to learn their secrets.

Things seem to be building. Have a good week, everyone.]

[ Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday ]

[ooc: don't forget to submit your memories and check into the roll call!]

[robitussin]

Um.

[??????]

Are you... okay? I mean, um... Not that that isn't a nice thing to say—

[aflatouttahell]

Yeah, I'm... I'm fine.

[...]

Sorry, it's just... you're really pretty. In general. I... you probably don't want to hear that from me, I'm sorry.

[robitussin]

No, I mean - you don't have to apologize? I mean, I, um... Oh, wow.

[aflatouttahell]

Are you sure? I mean, uh...

[Ha...]

We're... standing really close, huh?

[robitussin]

Um, yes. Yes we are. I think the fact that you, um, put your hands on my shoulders made that necessary.

[continues?? screaming internally??]

[aflatouttahell]

Yeah. Um...

[She frowns.]

So... in the movies they don't say anything, but can I, um... kiss... you...?

1/2

[robitussin]

Um.

[please hold??? she's okay she's fine]

Thank you - for asking? I, um.

[She's stuck in a murder opera house and either of them could die at any time and she has no guarantee that this will end well at all—]

[robitussin]

[And she hasn't slept in at least three days, so honestly, fuck it.]

Um, yes. Yes. You can do that.

[aflatouttahell]

Great! Great. Alright.

[She hasn't actually done this before give her a second, then she'll go in.

Let her hum a line first, though. Too close for singing.

And now she kisses her. It's a little awkward, but... it's a kiss.]

i'm never going to use these icons in this game i said

[robitussin]

[Natalie, by comparison, has done this before, so maybe that makes it a little less awkward? Probably not, because this is honestly kind of terrifying. Help her.

After a few moments, she pulls away, putting a hand up to her face.]

Ohhhh my god, that happened. That definitely happened.

oops or w/e

[aflatouttahell]

[Jez looks... kind of stunned when she pulls away.]

Yeah, it... it definitely did. Wow.

[One might even call this... the start of something new.]

[robitussin]

So, um.

[this is so awkward she's so awkward save them both]

That was cool.

[aflatouttahell]

Yeah, it uh. It really was.

[A smile???]

[robitussin]

So, uh...

[???]

What do you, um, want to do now?

[aflatouttahell]

I um... I don't know. Kind of in uncharted territory here. Nice uncharted territory, but.

[robitussin]

Yeah... Same. So, um, we could - I don't know.

[Nervous laughter??]

I'm not good at this.

[aflatouttahell]

Same here. I mean, we could watch a movie? Or something? That's a... romantic thing. Something besides High School Musical, even.

[robitussin]

Yeah... A movie sounds good. You want to pick this time?

[aflatouttahell]

Sure! Yeah. There are some in there that look good that we haven't gone through yet.

[She holds a hand out before starting over towards the media room. DO YOU WANNA HOLD HANDS, NATALIE?? :D]

[robitussin]

Okay.

[She hesitates, and then... takes her hand. Gross.]

[aflatouttahell]

[HOLDING HANDS AND ON THEIR WAY TO WATCH A MOVIE ISN'T THIS GREAT?

And once they get in there...]

Hm... how about Labyrinth?

[robitussin]

[yes one of them is clearly not rapidly approaching certain doom and the other heartbreak]

Sure thing. Have you ever seen it before?

[aflatouttahell]

[It's fine everything is fine!]

Nope! But it looks very cool.

[robitussin]

It's pretty dorky, but it's not bad.

[Sitting down, yep.]

[aflatouttahell]

[She puts the movie on and sits down next to her.]

Dorky can be alright, I think. But I'll take not bad.
