It's Curtains Act 3 Test Drive
1) CURTAINS UP
You’ve just woken up in some kind of dorm room, which is certainly not where you went to bed last night. Actually, do you even remember going to sleep…? Regardless, this isn't where you last were, and worse still - there's other people waking up in the same room with you, in the same state.Talk to your roommates! Go out and meet everyone from the other rooms! Most of these people may be strangers, but you’re gonna all have to get used to one another. And who knows? There may actually be a familiar face in the crowd.
2) THIS PETTY PACE
By now, you're acquainted with everybody here and you're slowly growing bored. Bored enough to kill? Hopefully not. You'd better try to find something else to do. You can always go hang out with your castmates, or maybe try and whip something up in the kitchen! There’s even a band room to keep you busy! I sure hope you like music.3) BREAK A LEG
Comedies are fun and all, but that’s not quite what we’re about here. You’ve all just been handed this week’s motive. What do you make of it? Is it one that might actually tempt you to kill, or did you get off lightly this time? Either way, maybe you’d better look around the room and see who else is having a rough time.4) I LOVE PLAY REHEARSAL
It's Club Day! What's Club Day, you ask? Come to the classroom on the poster to find out! It looks like this week's club is Bread Club. Be wary, when you enter the classroom you'll face a shower of various bread slices but be rewarded with a surprisingly fancy layout of spreads and jams to go with them. Don't mind the oddly threatening poster on the far wall. He's just here to supervise. 
5) CURTAIN
It was bound to happen eventually. Someone is dead, and now it's time to go off and investigate. Were they close to you? Are you, perhaps, feeling guilty? Either way, it's probably best not to leave anyone alone right now.6) CUE MUSIC
Feelings in a murder-school can get pretty gosh darn intense. Sometimes you’ve just got to let it out. And hey, if you sing a song about whatever’s going on in your head, maybe someone will hear and come help you? Either way, this is a musical – there’s not really any reason not to sing. [Mod Note: The song mechanic is meant to be fluid and simple. You do not have to produce your own song lyrics, nor are you required to use show tunes (although we do encourage it!). If you want to rewrite existing lyrics to fit the situation, go for it! Anything goes - if Mumford and Sons expresses your character’s current emotions, then break out the banjos. We want to keep the musical mechanic as fun and simple as we can to encourage our players to use it as much as they like.]

This Petty Place
Here's someone who...knows less about cooking than McFife does, whoops.]
I, ah, have heard how to boil eggs?
[nailed it]
Though...I can't say I know how to make soup, so you know more than I.
[smile? :D;;]
no subject
I could add eggs to soup! [Ingenious! Why has he not tried that before?] Come, we should toss in boiled eggs to add flavor!
[Is he going to make soup again? Yes, but he's going to make it taste different and that's what counts.]
no subject
[Boil eggs. Should be simple, right?]
I believe boiling involves water, so...we need...water in a pot? I think?
no subject
[Pot filled to the brim with water; they've made significant progress.]
How many should we use? Ten eggs?
no subject
[She'll go get the eggs!]
I admit, I don't know how long boiling will take on the eggs, but I'm sure we'll figure it out before they burn, right?
no subject
[There's another big pot of water on the stove for boiling, and Angus takes out an armful of potatoes. At least he knows he has to wash them in the sink first.]
I think you add salt to the boiled eggs, right?
no subject
[She did not know that! New achievement unlocked!]
I'll get it...!
[Here comes the salt!]
Do you add pepper? Should we? Or just salt...?
no subject
I think you add pepper to the soup itself. I've seen those flakes floating around in broth.
no subject
[She will add the salt to the water, then!
A few shakes.]
I hope that's enough. Here's the pepper.
