WEEK 1: April 2nd - April 6th

[cartesio]

Peace Week

Sunday must have been exhausting for you, maybe even upsetting. A new town, new faces and a an ominous order from a man without a face... who wouldn't be a little frightened? Hopefully, all of that is forgotten when you climb out from under your blankets this fine Monday. Rise and shine! A new morning is a new start!

If you make your way to the lounge, you will find a few copies of the local newspaper provided for your perusal. Once you go outdoors, you'll find the weather forecast 100% accurate. It's pretty impressive.

It seems that quiet mornings like this are going to be your everyday life now. Maybe you should see this whole stay as a vacation? Go out and explore the town, meet your fellow motel guests and meet the townspeople. They're sure to welcome you with a smile!

This week's special in the diner is lemon pie made with love (and a top-secret recipe)

[Pleasure, indeed.

Millium's not even remotely trying to hide her satisfaction, arms folded over the back of her seat in the booth and flopping her head into those arms contentedly, watching Natalie's suffering with a smile.

Poor, poor Natalie, the only one in this town with any real understanding of what a creepy child Millium can be.]

'Cause I get to watch you people go nuts. Also, I like this song.

[robitussin]

[She turns towards Millium as she speaks, and then gives a heavy sigh, much more dramatic than it needs to be.]

Of course it was you. Also, you have awful taste, congratulations.

[doublelammy]

Or maybe you just need to lighten up a little.

[Natalie can't really get her down now. Not when Millium is so fully aware she's won.]

[robitussin]

Yeah, sure. Please know that my revenge will be swift and brutal.

[Somehow.]

[doublelammy]

Says the person who got on my case for being "messed-up."

[Millium whirls around in her seat, plonking back down into it and taking a victory bite of pie.]

[robitussin]

The difference is that I'm being sarcastic. Also, I stand by that statement.

[doublelammy]

And I stand by "What's New, Pussycat."

[...]

♪♫♬ Woah-woah-oh-oh-oh~ ♪♫♬

[robitussin]

[That earns another heavy, dramatic sigh.]

What do I have to do to get you to stop singing?

which is funny bc she's from a musical

[doublelammy]

[She pauses, then glances at Natalie with her eyes glinting.]

You gotta sing the next chorus.

♪♫♬ What's new, pussycat! ♪♫♬

the fourth wall gently creaks

[robitussin]

There are many things wrong with that plan. To start with, why are you assuming I know how this song goes?

[Other than the fact that she's heard it about ten times in quick succession.]

[doublelammy]

'Cause you've heard it like ten times by now and the chorus is all of two lines long.

[No, you don't get the "other" option, Natalie, sorry.]

[robitussin]

I've been blocking it out this entire time. Don't underestimate my mental fortitude.

[She absolutely knows the words.]

[doublelammy]

Mm~hm. Sure you have.

[Staring straight at Natalie:]

♪♫♬ What's new, pussycat! Woah-woah-oh-oh~ What's new pussycat! Woah-woah~~ ♪♫♬

[robitussin]

[With the heaviest sigh yet, she starts... Well, not singing, but at least muttering the words under her breath. You know, low enough that Millium can barely hear her.

That counts, right?]

[doublelammy]

[Not even close.]

Louder.

♪♫♬ WHAT'S NEW, PUSSYCAT! ♪♫♬

[She'll even lead the charge! Isn't she kind?]

[robitussin]

—I'll do it if you go back to a normal volume right now!

[doublelammy]

♪♫♬ Woah-woah-oh-oh~ ♪♫♬

[robitussin]

[She gives one final sigh before she joins in at a normal volume, and... Perhaps unsurprisingly, given ~musicals~, she is actually pretty darn good.

The very moment it's over, though:]

There, are you happy?!

[doublelammy]

[With a sweet and actually pretty genuine smile:]

Yes.

[robitussin]

[Some people might be encouraged by how sincere she suddenly seems, but Natalie—]

Don't do that. That's weird.

[doublelammy]

You already knew I was weird.

[So, the point is...?]

[robitussin]

Yeah, but I'm asking you not to be weird in this specific instance.

[Why is it the kindness that throws her off the most? A mystery.]

[doublelammy]

Hmm~...

Nope! I have heard your request, and I respectfully decline.

[Phrasing she undoubtedly picked up from someone else.]

[robitussin]

[Muttered under her breath:]

Respectfully, my ass...

[doublelammy]

[A feigned gasp.]

You're right! Such language isn't respectful at all!

[And now that muttering is suddenly loud enough. Millium, please.]
