WEEK 2
[It's been...

One week since you woke up here
Met your house manager and said "We’re angry"
Five days since he laughed at you saying
"Write me some letters and you’ll never see me"
Three days since the mirror room
You realized there’s more the Opera House wouldn't tell you
Yesterday you'd bonded more
But it'll still be two days till you get your motive


Welcome to week 2, performers.]

[Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday]


[ooc: happy week 2, everyone! Don't forget to submit your AC and your regains! Regain rolls are done Sunday and Tuesday nights.]

I mean... I guess so. [This would probably be overwhelming to a lot of people, wouldn't it? When you're far away from home, reminders of that home are naturally painful. She drags an arm over her eyes, sniffling and then exhaling with a sigh.]

I just wish I was talented at something else besides being on stage. If I could do first aid, or martial arts, or something that would help us get out of here. But I'm not even smart enough to think of what would be useful...

[She hesitates, but then slowly adjusts her position, half leaning against Ariel. She may or may not be trying to subtlely ask for a hug.]

Christine. [He... doesn't have any option but to hug her. It's kind of awkward, one arm looped around her shoulder and the other resting against her upper arm but. It's fine. He's just not used to this sort of thing.]

I am a talented alchemist, I've told you this before. I should have no trouble creating things like acids and breaking down the doors here. And yet, my skills have had no impact on our imprisonment. [He has yet to try explosions, but that's a little more risky...

... And also not the point.]

The phantom has planned ahead for people like me. But those like you, with talents so readily labeled as "not useful..." I think those will be the key to our freedom.

[She sighs softly, but sounds at least slightly more calm now, rubbing her eyes and hoping she won't end up tearing up again. He's doing this much to try to help her, the least she can to is take his guidance.

She does laugh though, soft and sweet, before shaking her head.]

Is it you calling them 'not useful' or me?

[revelfree]

Entirely you.

[Maybe he doesn't see the use of theatre, or how much impact a small teenage girl could have but -- he's been surprised before. If nothing else, there was something to said about morale.]

I find you plenty useful. You have kept my spirits high since I have arrived here.

[madgiganticfeelings]

Y-You mean it? That's... I mean, I've been trying to do that...

[She had no idea if she was succeeding or not, though. It's relieving to hear that she has done something for at least one person.]

I thought being all happy go lucky was just getting people annoyed.

[revelfree]

Oh, of course.

[He can't help it. He ruffles her hair. That seems like a thing he should do in this situation.]

I have no reason to lie to you. If I was bothered by the optimism, would it not be in my best interest to discourage it right away?

[madgiganticfeelings]

H-Hey!

[She disolves into giggles, trying to swat Ariel's hands away. What a weird thing to do.]

You're probably right... I don't know how good you'd do at discouraging it, but I guess you would at least try.
