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! ))

There's some, but don't ask me what kind. Maybe we can see what smells good, though.

[Guess this is 'we' now since this kid is such a space cadet, and not in the way Stephen likes]

[justmeheere]

[He has so much anxiety that there's no space for braincells in his head, ok.]

Oh! Yeah, that, uh. That sounds good. I guess I can just see, uh. Which ones don't make me want to [die.] vibrate into the sun.

[god, you remind him so much of a couple of his old students. Not many of them were nervous wrecks, but College Can Be Hard!]

I've heard lavender is supposed to help?

[justmeheere]

Like the flower? I guess I can see, um, how that would be. Calming? I think chamomile is supposed to be, like, calming too.

[The teenage boy part of Jeremy's brain is now saying "put them together for EXTRA calm, which is 100% not how it works, probably.]

[37773972]

[Stephen...does not know enough to counter that, honestly]

Chamomile lavender. Maybe Ariel-

[-knows how to make acid. Wait. Alchemy...might do something with like, health potions? For lack of a better term]

-knows something, too.

[justmeheere]

Oh, um, because he likes science? [And, uh. Opium, apparently.] Cooking is just science, right?

[37773972]

It's more or less chemistry, yeah. Just put in to another language.

[justmeheere]

I'm, uh. Not good at either, honestly? [Jeremy, realtalk, what ARE you good at?] So, you know. I need. I need all the help I can get.
