WEEK 1

[With the introduction of their showrunner and a brief run through of what they're in for in their time in the Opera House out of the way, the performers are free to explore the first floor of the opera house at their leisure then and for the rest of the week that lies ahead. The double doors leading to the kitchen will be unlocked at 7 am and locked at 10 pm for intermission. Performers are free to prepare meals for themselves and others at any time outside of intermission.

The Merchandise Booth will also be open for business after the first day as some of the performers may find envelopes with their names on it taped to their doors in the morning.

If performers wish to have private conversations with their showrunner, The Balladeer, just step up to the box office and see if he's in.

Enjoy your week, everyone.]


[Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday]


[ooc: This is the last mod post for the week for us! Feel free to start depositing coins in the merch booth if any of your threads have reached that length, so long as they're not with the Balladeer. Remember, song threads mean double coins! There will be no murder this first week so gain all the CR you can while it lasts, darlings.]

[ Confidence is all that matters, right? ]

That's a lovely idea. Would you like some help?

[ Princes can't be choosy, maybe he can get some warm food out of this deal. ]

[catliketread]

[i can't believe your expectations are "aggressively dumb"]

I'm already several steps ahead of you, my friend! The Billydeer isn't too terrible of a person, he's actually rather nice to talk to. Were his profession something a little less terrible, I could even respect him!

[trettende]

[ DEFS NOT, HE'S A COOL DUDE. ]

That's a good way to look at it! [ Much better than moping about lost loves and what have you... ] They do seem to have all these things here for people to take.

[ This is probably not what they had in mind but, oh well. ]

[trettende]

[ ;) Hans totally has an idea for what it could be, why, who else could cause such longing than...? ]

Ah. A lost love? Are you worried for them in your absence?

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

[She tenses.]

It...the person it belongs to who's special.

[catliketread]

Indeed, and if they're offered to us for free then of course we should make use of them! Perhaps if they're kind they'll even restock them when we run low!

[It's not an "if we run low" it's a when.]

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

[buddy you don't know the people she hangs around with]

H- he is, is- [gentle surprise that turns into laughter] th- the Billydeer?

[This is what makes her positively break down into giggles.]

[allicareabout]

[He's got seniority by merit of age, and also for the sake of clarity it should be alphabetical. Obviously, he's the First.

Anyway.

He'll look over after a moment, though he isn't quite stopping with the...cramming clothes into this thing like he's trying to choke it.]

There you are, Arthur.

[...]

No, that's entirely too dignified. But anyway - it's not going to do anything while the top of it's open, I've worked that much out. Open it in the middle of something and it stops, just like that. So at least it's probably not going to maim people.

[allicareabout]

[...Oh, hey, it's you.]

Probably not? I almost pity the poor guy this belongs to.

[catliketread]

It makes sense, does it not? He looks exactly like Billy. He calls himself the Balladeer. Therefore, the Billydeer. It is a very fitting name, if I do say so myself!

[IT'S SUCH A SHITTY PUN]

[allicareabout]

[Oh, thank god. Someone who knows what they're doing.]

You could definitely say that, and it would be nowhere near a lie. Not anything like this, anyway.

You have experience?

[catliketread]

[He wrinkles his nose at the name, but thankfully Billy dismisses it quickly. He is definitely not an Arthur.]

Oh, it stops when it's opened? I hadn't anticipated that. Perhaps it isn't a murder machine.

[Maybe. He's not 100% convinced.]

Have you had any luck using it to wash clothes?

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

[Just the very thought... D-ne sighs.] Don't get the wrong idea, she's very capable... I just always feel more at ease when I'm by her side.

[onthebusagain]

Your boyfriend?

[onthebusagain]

That sounds, like, super great. Could you stir? I want to see if I can find some chocolate chips.

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

[It takes her a few moments to compose herself, and when she's able to-]

It is, Pirate King-san, positively the stupidest nickname I could imagine- hehe- and I want you to use it constantly.

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

[Well D-ne looks at Heather like that's the stupidest thing anyone's ever said.]

Ugh, no! Far from it, boys are just... [She shakes her head, disgusting.]

[allicareabout]

If we're assuming the loosest definition possible of "wash", then sure.

[In other words, not really.]

It's probably better suited to being used as a murder machine, if you ask me.

[catliketread]

Don't worry, I plan on it! It is truly a name worthy of the man!

[...is that an insult or some really backhanded praise??]

[catliketread]

I can only imagine what it would do to a person if you were to shove them in there...

[HE LOOKS TOTALLY REPULSED BUT ALSO EWW, WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT, KING]

[allicareabout]

[...Meanwhile, in a hotel far, far away...]

...Let's not try to find out, all right? No reason to even bring that up.

[catliketread]

Right, right, of course! No one needs to think about that for any amount of time! Ever.

[y i k e s]

[allicareabout]

You haven't heard that anyone is, have you? Thinking about murder and all.

[That's probably a little more casual than it should be, all things considered.]

[catliketread]

Everyone I've talked to about it agrees that it's stupid to consider. I sincerely doubt anyone will attempt such a dreadful thing.

[well this is gonna be hilarious in a week]

[allicareabout]

We've gone a whole four days without anyone losing their minds. Maybe there's hope for us yet.

[...is that sarcasm it's hard to tell]
