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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

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.

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

[Because candy should be shared!]

It's kind of like... How did it go again? She made up this song and the entire school got it stuck in their heads. Like...

[Hime scrunches up her face and begins to sing.]

If you say "Let's eat" and end with "Thanks for the food"
Those are passwords that unlock for you a smiling mood
For happiness at mealtime makes your day just as happy

Freshly-steamed rice with an egg on top is what I'd like
Wonderful home-cooked meals top the list no matter what
Even if all you get is rice with nothing on the side, that's okay
Because what matters more
Is the smile that all home cooks adore
Rice is here for you

All our dreams are like heaping bowls of good, warm rice
Everyone, take a seat at the table
You'll be feeling as good as new
It's the backbone of meals with energetic love
Ah, fill your heart up with delicious rice
Ah, fill your heart up with delicious rice

[Anna looks delighted after that song, clapping her hands.]

No wonder it got stuck in your head! It's so cute and catchy... but what's rice?

Your country doesn't have rice? We had it back in the Blue Sky Kingdom, and in Japan it was the base of practically everything you ate! It's this white grain stuff, there's probably a ton in the pantry!

[Hime digs in and pulls out... a small box.]

Huh? Aren't they supposed to be in huge bags?

Maybe they don't have big bags here?

[Anna takes the box and reads the directions.]

Can we make it?

We have all the things for it. [Deep breath.] Of course we can! Let's try right now, it can't be that hard!

Right! So what do we start with? A pot? [She can get one for them!]

It says put rice, water, and butter in a saucepan. What kind of pot is that? Probably a little one.

Uhm... [She opens a cupboard and pulls two out. They both are small, but one is flatter.] Which one?

I think we'll make a mess if we use the flat one. Let's try the other one!

[and just dumping the rice in there]

[She nods and sets the pot on the stove. Wow, rice looks almost like-]

They're like little pearls.

I think different kinds look a little different, but I don't really know about that... Yuuko knows all about that stuff, but food is food.

Food isn't just food! Look at sandwiches! You can dress them up in so many ways. With meat, without, tons of vegetables, none... now I want a sandwich.

Yuuko really loves food. Like, really loves it. She saves her allowance all year long so that she can eat whatever she wants at one festival every year.

They must have really good food if she does that.

[Now she wants some of that food.]

They've got tons! Even things you don't see a lot in Pikarigaoka usually, like churros!

Pika-what? Churros?

[You're speaking a different language here.]

Pikarigaoka is the town I live in! I had to leave the Blue Sky Kingdom for a while, so I moved into the embassy. I still live there now, even though everything is fine back home again. My mother was a little disappointed that I wasn't going back home, but I will eventually, and I visit all the time!

Pikakaraoke... is a pretty unique town name.

[Note to self: learn how to say it correctly?]

That's nice of you. I'm sure she's happy about that.

I couldn't not! Even if it were really hard.

I bet. Being away from your parents.... it's really hard.

When the Phantom Empire attacked the Blue Sky Kingdom, I got out, but they were trapped inside mirrors. For almost a year.

[She looks over at Anna and fidgets.]

Is it like that for you?

[She shakes her head, looking down at her hands.]

No. My parents passed away.

[Hime wrings her own hands and looks down.]

I'm sorry. I don't even know how terrible that has to be.
