week 1

[stagemanagers]

[Well, all escape attempts have failed thus far. None of you have seen the Phantom since his brief appearance on Sunday, or heard from him at all. It looks like, for the time being, you’re all going to be stuck here.

You're free to continue exploring your surroundings to your hearts' content. The only real restriction on your movements is that the kitchen is closed between the hours of 10 pm and 7 am. Better make sure to grab any midnight snacks you may want ahead of time. Also, remember to label any investigation toplevels!

The Merchandise Booth is now open for business as well! The Phantom hasn't deigned to explain how it works, but...well, some of you will start to find mysterious coins in your rooms, and the Booth's got a place to put coins. You'll figure it out.

Should you wish to engage more with your host, you're welcome to drop letters in the box office slot. There's no set way to converse verbally with him, and he's certainly not guaranteed to respond if you just yell at the walls - but that doesn't necessarily mean he isn't listening. Just something to keep in mind.

Enjoy your first week, everyone.]

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday

(( OOC: This will be the last mod post for this week! Feel free to start submitting regains for any threads that aren't with the Phantom. Remember, song threads mean an extra coin! This is a peace week, so get all that CR while you can! ))

[ aw, sick burns don't land quite as well when your target doesn't get the reference. santana huffs. she cannot believe she has to now explain this to this girl. it's almost like she's being helpful. gross. ]

He was in some mopey band for weirdos called the Cure. People who are goth and old like his stuff.

[ santana says, with audible disdain for both the goth and the old. ]

[herwiggles]

Steven! Ohhh it's bad!!

[She slides over, either not noticing or caring as Steven bowls over himself. She's too focused on tugging on her pigtails.]

I saw myself in a mirror and I look.... different!

[madgiganticfeelings]

There's nothing wrong with being sentimental for a past performance! I'm sure it was amazing... but I think all of the productions would be.

[She brightens more (if that's even possible) at the invitation.] Oh, gosh, really? I mean, I would certainly love to, but the chances of me getting to Japan are pretty slim. I'd have to convince my parents, and it'd be a whole thing with them...

[madgiganticfeelings]

Two out of a dozen, probably. But we're getting there!

[She giggles and steals a plastic crown from the pile of accessories... before remembering that Angus is much taller than her and pouting.]

You know I can't congratulate you if you don't bend down a little.

[madgiganticfeelings]

[After a few minutes of that, Christine claps her hands.]

That was really good! After that, I usually recite tongue twisters. But we can skip over that if you want to get into the fun stuff!

[justmeheere]

That, uh. That makes sense. [He's not very good at it, but that's great advice.] I, um. I know I catastrophize a lot and it's. It's not a good habit.

[holyspit]

Different?

[He looks her up and down- could it be some kind of corruption? But there's no horns or anything.]

I don't see anything- I mean, you look the same to me.

[mcfife]

No soap?

[Hoots! How did people live in the olden times?]

Even though we live comfortably with all supplies provided?

[justmeheere]

So it's not just, like, random stuff? There's. There's stuff from back home too?

[Ohhhhhhhh this could be bad. This could be very bad.]

[mcfife]

[He crouches to be more at face-level.

A hug won't hurt, right?]

[revelfree]

There is plenty of room for learning about people within the academic field. There is room for learning about anything really.

[It's okay to be a nerd, Santana!]

[madgiganticfeelings]

That's true... I think we're all a little over our heads, with the idea of other worlds and all. At least I am.

But um, hey! Some people know a little more about... magical things! So maybe they'll know of some way we can narrow it down?

[madgiganticfeelings]

And we already know I have enough energy to be a full time job!

[She sounds so proud of herself for that.]

Seriously, though, I think we'll ask for help if we need it, so just relax in the meantime!

[revelfree]

That is very true. [Ariel's smile is almost sheepish.]

Very well then, I will make a solemn oath to relax, if you will make an oath to tell me the second you do need help.

[likemypicture]

Hear Ye, Hear Ye!

[recessives]

[ Rip. ]

You could look around for a different old hat.

[likemypicture]

Anna of Cleves. [She tips into another curtsy, though this one is somewhat more of a grandiose gesture]

I was wife to King Henry VIII of England, for half a year's time-- before our marriage was annulled. Now I'm The King's Beloved Sister. I'm now touring with his other five wives-- so you could say I'm very comfortable with royalty. You'll have to forgive me! My manners have left me since my absence from court.

[recessives]

Oh.

[ Wild. ]

I think my world is different from everyone else's... this is just kind of how people dress, I think.

[ Note: Shilo's experience with "other people" is the rough equivalent of deciding what people wear based on outfits worn to awards shows. She is also, against all odds, Not Wrong, because [Syndrome Voice] When Everyone's a Goth......... No One Will Be. ]

[recessives]

[ She nods. ]

In my room, yeah. I taught myself how to play.

[likemypicture]

Focused is good-- it's important to be passionate about something.

I've heard of it, but it's a bit past my time. Remind me?

[justmeheere]

[He scans the selection of hats and pulls down a choice. Jeremy is making some choices here, and they're not good.]

Like this?

[At least it's not a lady's hat.]

[reassuranceandrevolution]

Well, I don't know if being here is going to help break that habit, but we can try.

If you ever feel like you need to be put to work to get your mind off it all, come find me. I'm sure we'll figure something out for you to do.

[isawallflower]

[ This kid's been so relaxed and upbeat that the anger kind of surprises her. But. Hoo-boy. ]

Maybe it...could've gotten broken, on the way here? [ She doesn't sound like she believes that. ] The only way to know for sure might be to ask him, if...he actually wants to answer a question.

[isawallflower]

It's, uh... Providing others with a burst of inspiration and encouragement through morale-building stunts and general role model behavior? Typically to be performed at sporting events or large assemblies.

[ She's not doing The Thing quite yet, so that's. Good, maybe? ]
