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

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.

It was a few years ago. I still miss them, but I can't really just hide away because of that, right?

[Anna drops her voice, folding her hands together, singing a soft song.]

If you could see me now
Would you be pleased and proud
I'm doing fine
But sometimes I cry
When I see your face
Are there windows in heaven
To see me now
Through all the sky and clouds
Living my life
With a heart full of pride
When I see your face
Are there windows in heaven?

[Hime nods sadly. She gets the rice going and looks over to Anna.]

You didn't mean
To be left behind with all you know
More than I felt
You're not alone
To whispers you can't say goodbye
Here from a world
That's further than I-don't-know

If they could see you now
I'm sure they'd say somehow
You're doing fine
And everyone cries
In a lonely place
But are there windows in heaven
I might not know
Through all the sky and clouds
Living your life
With a heart full of pride
With us in this game

[Anna smiles sheepishly as she wipes her eyes.]

Sorry... I didn't meant to make everything sound so sad.

You don't have to apologize for that! Isn't that what friends are supposed to do?

[Hime, if only you knew that you are pretty much one of her very first friends.]

It is?

I'm an expert! I have one, two... maybe thirty-nine friends! Plus you! So forty! And maybe some of the other people in here, but I haven't asked if we are!

[All of which were made in the last year...]

[THAT IS A LOT OF FRIENDS YOU ARE SO LUCKY]

Wow... do you think I could become friends with the people here as well?

It's a little scary, but I know you can! Most of them seem really nice so far.
