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.]

OTA

[sunshineprincess]

[After that mess with the Showrunner, Anna needs a mental break. Everything was a mess and she just wants to find something fun to do. She somehow winds up in the music room. The piano seems nice enough to tinker around with. She knows there was one in Arendelle, so Anna does her best to play a song on it. Yes, it sounds awfully out of tune since it's been a while. Singing was more her forte.

The kitchen is another one of her stops. The future is so fascinating. She's never seen anything like this back home! This was all so futuristic that she has no idea what any of this does. She can be seen playing with the mixer, giggling in delight as the beaters turn. The stove is another target of curiosity. She doesn't know what it does until the plates start glowing red... and she lightly burns her fingers trying to figure out why. Ow. Otherwise she's found the candies and happily munches away on them.]

This place is amazing!

[rockthistown]

[Hime's eyes sparkle when she notices the wrappers. She wanders over and hesitates.]

Are those honey candies?

[sunshineprincess]

[She blinks and looks down at her little mountain of wrappers.]

It's a lot of different ones. I found chocolate, fruit ones, and some honey. They're all wrapped the same so you don't know what you get till you open it!

[She holds out a handful.] Wanna try some?

[rockthistown]

[Hime nervously reaches out... and grabs the whole handful. She holds them close to her and looks like she's going to run away, but no. Anna is nice. She's supposed to be over this! She tries one and bows.]

Thank you! Yuuko is right, sharing food is fun!

[sunshineprincess]

[It's okay, there is a lot more where that came from. This princess with a huge sweet tooth would know.]

You're welcome~ Yuuko?

[rockthistown]

She's a friend from home! I used to think things like cooking were boring and didn't appreciate them because it wasn't my job, but Yuuko works in her family's lunch shop and food is really important to her. She says making food and sharing food is all about feelings and happiness.

[sunshineprincess]

I've never cooked either, but I love food! And if I can share it, I will.

[Because candy should be shared!]

[solomonjihad]

It is?

[Its a kitchen?...]

Why?

[sunshineprincess]

[She nods.]

The kitchens like this aren't something we have back home.

[solomonjihad]

...But you're a princess, aren't you?

[If anything wouldn't her kitchen be sumptuous or something?]

[sunshineprincess]

Yes! But from what I've been told, I'm from way in the past. It's.... kinda hard to think about. We don't have things like electricity or refrigerators.

[Despite her upbeat attitude, she's not taking the 'from the past' thing that well. She's very good at hiding it at this time since the situation is already stressful enough for everyone. How can she be here and be from the past? It's like something from a book.]

[solomonjihad]

Oh.

[Uh, oops?]

I'm from the year 2001. This is all normal, for me, but I...guess you probably guessed already.

[sunshineprincess]

2001?

[Okay. OKAY. THIS IS... She frowns deeply.] That's.... that's hundreds of years ahead of me... t-there's no way!

[robitussin]

...You sure it's a good idea to eat those?

[She tries her best not to sound concerned, but there's a bit of worry easing into her tone.]

[sunshineprincess]

Why not? They're just candies.!

[She doesn't even think about how they might be poisonous. Then again, why would management want to kill them like this?]

Want some?

[robitussin]

Right, just candies put out by the people who kidnapped us and want us to murder each other.

[She shakes her head.]

No, I don't.

[sunshineprincess]

[She eats another one as she thinks.]

So you're not going to eat anything while you're here?

[robitussin]

I'm not going to literally take candy from a stranger.

[sunshineprincess]

[But she took it from the cupboard... oh! Yes. No. Nevermind.]

Well, you're missing out! These are the best candies I've ever eaten!

Kitchen

[breakingbread]

[You know, it does Valjean a bit of good to see other people as interested in the new machines as him. One does have to wonder why they would give them to a bunch of largely unfamiliar people at all - could they be dangerous if used improperly? - but on the whole the appliances have mostly been interesting to mess with.]

It is, isn't it? I could never have imagined such a thing.

[sunshineprincess]

[Someone else who is as delighted as she is? Great!]

When I watched Cook make anything in the kitchen he only ever used spoons, knives, and some other things. Nothing like this! I can't wait for the future.

[Anna, you won't live long enough to see any of this be created.]

[breakingbread]

[Anna, you may not last the month in this place.]

I don't imagine I'll ever see these at home. [It's a reasonable estimate; he's fairly old and it's 1832.] So I am glad for the chance to explore them here, at least. Have you seen this micro-wave?

[sunshineprincess]

[Rude]

I'll tell my sister all about the things here when I get home. She'll be so surprised, she'll want some of them!

[She tilts her head.] Micro-wave? [Like a little wave in the ocean?]

[breakingbread]

Yes, this little instant oven! D-ne showed me how to use it.

[Jean Valjean now knows how to cook a hot pocket, and he will pass that knowledge on.]

You put the food inside and press the buttons to tell it how long to cook - this cooks for a minute, I believe? And then it cooks it.

[He closes the door and successfully starts the microwave. It sure is spinning. The cooking is much less visible, but that's probably happening too?]

[sunshineprincess]

[Anna listens and watches this display of future cooking be performed. This is even better than the stove!]

It's spinning! [She touches the outside of the microwave, expecting it to be hot.] It's cold. Is it only hot on the inside?
