The Principal's Office

[tailor_made]

The door to the principal’s office is open at all hours, although you will only find Hester at the receptionist’s desk from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. This is primarily where you can have private conversations with her. Though there’s an actual office in the back, it is always closed and locked.

WEEK 7, SUNDAY

[ ...is she here?

Please, let her be here. ]

[Hester's office is empty.

Her things are all still here- a slightly wilted vase of flowers from the garden, her framed Enjolras poster on the wall, her tea pot (now cold instead of ready with fresh herbal tea for visitors) and (an empty) plate where there are usually cookies. But Hester is nowhere to be found.]

[ Well.

Fuck. ]

A flower for every name
Their colors are paling
In the falling rain]

Right now

[Yup. Guess who's coming here after waking up:]

Hester?

[Hester's office looks the same as it always has, save for the slightly wilted flowers in the vase, the cookie plate being empty and her tea pot being ice cold but-

Hester is missing.]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

...Shit.

[...Well, there's nobody in here. Time for a little check.

Is Hester's laptop still here?]

[tailor_made]

[It is! Its sitting closed on her desk.]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[..........Can she take it?]

[tailor_made]

[I mean, it's sitting there. The only thing keeping it there is the fact it's plugged into a charger.]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Well!! She's not entirely sure what the cord does, but the moment she'll try to move it, it probably pops right out. So!!

Yup, she's taking this. Might be useful, even.]

[tailor_made]

[Cool! Maybe it'll come in handy later this week.]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Here's hoping! God willing, she'll even try and return it in one piece.]
