The World’s A Stage || CH 4 Event
It had been a week since the deaths of Toshiko and Verruct, and the subsequent execution of Niru. A week of absolutely nothing - no motives, no fighting, nothing. The Black King was even lurking around the halls less. You wondered where he went off to when he wasn’t bothering the remaining students.
When the intercom finally buzzed to life, a feeling of dread went off in your gut. Was it time for another motive? The Black King’s familiar voice surrounded the Manor.
“Please make your way to the amphitheater right away.”
The... the amphitheater? Well, that was different. Maybe the king wanted to go outside. Maybe he liked the way the sun gleamed against his edgy crown. A bit confused, you made your way to the amphitheater anyways.
Of course, the king was waiting for you. However, the expression on his face was not one of sick anticipation. This was weird.
“Good, that’s everyone. No motive just yet, but there’s something I wanted to talk to you about. I’m sure you all know my son. He runs that odd little shop on the first floor. I don’t understand why he did it, but his eye for business is impressive.”
He was talking about Baby Pawn. The foul-mouthed little chess piece that you all tolerated solely because of materialism.
“Anyways, it’s his birthday soon. And you all are going to give him the best birthday a chess piece could ever want. Throw a party, whatever it is that kids do these days. One more thing - lately he’s been super into theatre for some reason. So you all are going to put on a play.”
He grabbed a random stack of scripts, tossing one or two at each person. You looked at them, only to find that you were playing Romeo and Juliet. Lovely.
This event will be running throughout all of Chapter Four!
