Week 5

[...So that was a mess. All of it was a mess, and things don't look to be improving any time soon. With tensions at an all-time high and conditions worsened, it seems pretty safe to say that this whole week promises a great deal of foreboding atmosphere.

But, hey, things aren't entirely bad. Just as Randall promised, you're now able to leave the Manor!

Just don't stay out there for too long. There's still a lot of you, and you just can't afford to lose numbers.

24 guests remain]

[SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]

Pretty much, yeah. All the parents that actually, y'know, parented, were mostly concerned with making us as much like them as possible. Some just straight-up named the kid after themselves! How are Mal and Jay supposed to find their own way when nobody can even say their names without thinking of their parents?

[and then there's carlos]

The Auradonian kids aren't really like that, from what I've seen. They've all got that "follow your dreams" mindset; they can be whatever they wanna be.

That sounds--um--

[Really bad?]

Why were these people ever allowed to become parents in the first place? That's terrible! And then they put all of you on an island by yourself? How are you supposed to learn 'bout, well, not bein' your parents?

[He's just starting to realize this split between evil and good seems to cause more harm than good.]

I don't think you can just... not allow that sorta thing. It just kinda happens. [shrugs] I don't think we were ever actually considered in anybody's plans. But, what are people supposed to do when they're stuck someplace for 20 years? Sit and twiddle their thumbs?

Fair, fair. [He can't exactly relate--alligator moms are present for most of their kids' adolescence.

He lets out a sigh, fiddling with the keys on his trumpet.] Oh...by the way, how's the songwriting goin'? Y'know, for Ariel? Made any progress since we last talked?
