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.]

[...Well...best to explore. All throughout the day, Astarte can be found in the various places on the first floor. In the music room, looking at all of the strange musical instruments and trying them out (and...failing). In the ballroom, trying to pry open the windows. In the costume shop, looking for clothing that isn't what she's wearing. In the kitchen, trying to make food.

All the while, she looks. There has to be an opening, right? There just has to be. An opening...outside? Or somewhere else? Something else? She...shakes her head. What is she thinking?

Maybe its not you...]

music room

[rockthistown]

There's enough for a whole orchestra in here! What are you trying to play?

[solomonjihad]

Mm...this instrument. Michiru Kaiou's instrument.

[AND IT GOES A LITTLE SOMETHING LIKE THIS]

[rockthistown]

[Hime cringes and claps her hands over her ears.] I don't think it's supposed to go like that!

[solomonjihad]

...

I've never played this before.

[IT SHOWS.]

[rockthistown]

[sigh] I guess you wouldn't be instantly good at it... Are there any books around here to learn it? They should at least have instructions.

[solomonjihad]

I haven't found a book yet. Just instruments.

[:|]

[rockthistown]

Too bad... I'd ask for one, but I don't want to talk to that guy again. He seems nice enough for a kidnapper, but still!

[solomonjihad]

...He didn't kidnap us, though. That was his boss.

ballroom

[catliketread]

It truly is stuck, isn't it?

[The Pirate King's been trying to get one of the other windows open for awhile now and he's only just now sat down to take a break.]

Re: ballroom

[solomonjihad]

[Astarte's response is to stumble back and land on her back, after one, final, hard pull.

...]

It...looks like it.

[Drat...]

[catliketread]

Are you alright? You didn't hurt yourself, did you?

[He's already standing and offering her a hand, because that's a bit more concerning than the locked windows. For the moment, anyway.]

[solomonjihad]

Oh, I'm all right...Pirate King.

[She got it right, right? She does take the hand proffered and goes to pull herself up.]

Thank you.

[catliketread]

[Up we go! He'll let go once she's steady on her feet.]

You're quite welcome. Ah, I'm afraid I can't recall your name off the top of my head and I left that little booklet back in my room... What is your name, miss?

[solomonjihad]

...Shiva Shingetsu Astarte.

[She nods.]

Everyone calls me just Astarte, though.

[catliketread]

[Oh good, he can definitely remember that!! Not all three names though, they're a lot.]

Astarte, then! I've never heard a name quite like that before, it's very unique!

[The good sort of unique, from the sound of it.]

[solomonjihad]

I was named after the goddess.

[Her tone takes a hint of pride when she says that.]

Astarte, the purest and truest star.

music room

[robitussin]

[Natalie watches for a while as Astarte attempts to play the piano, finally speaking up after several moments.]

You've never played before, have you?

[solomonjihad]

...No.

[How can you tell]

[robitussin]

Yeah. That was... kind of hard to listen to.

[Mostly because she knows how to use the instrument correctly.]

You could probably get pointers from someone here.

[solomonjihad]

...Do you know anyone?

[Seriously her playing is...murder]

[robitussin]

Not really.

[She could volunteer herself, but... Nah.]

You could probably ask around.

[solomonjihad]

Of course. I just have to think of who might know how to play the piano.

[She looks around. Maybe she can try the recorder in the meantime...]

[robitussin]

Maybe the profiles would give you a clue? I haven't really read them yet.

[Which is not at all true, but hey.]

[solomonjihad]

...My pamphlet's in my room. I should look at it again.

...

Why haven't you read it yet?
