GAME ENTRY 6 // "SCHOOL DAZE" // NOV 26 - DEC 2, 2007
The string of robberies continues this week, with no real end in sight. Is there a specific importance to the items taken? Or to the mysterious messages left, most often in the form of song lyrics? The police would be investigating it more fully, but given the recent murder they’ve had to send new Deputy JayJay Fischer to deal with the thefts. Uh... yeah. Good look getting your stuff back, Cougar Ridge...
Elsewhere, the school dance is coming up in a week and the staff have to start making preparations for the big night - assuming they can focus on this as well as the play (will Travis Wilder and Lula Coulie ruin everything?) and, of course, their own personal issues. Issues of, say, the following:
Helena Baxtor has received a text message: “How is Cougar Ridge treating you?”
Justine Terry has discovered that something else in her house is missing (you don’t believe that she believes that Gabriel Moore stole it, do you...?)
As for Gabe, his life was in danger collapsing but now he seems to be getting back on his feet. He's been rebuilding foundations and forging new friendships (and maybe more)... but will anything come along to unsettle that fragile equilibrium?
Adriana Banka has received an interesting snippet of information herself. It seems that while she was out shopping with her mother, Anthony Clark was spending time with another woman - and looking rather close. Don’t believe me? It’s all the gossip at True Beauty - as is a certain topic concerning new teacher Thom Jacoby and his wife Beth. Seems like everyone's been enjoying themselves recently, hm?
As for O’Malley’s, well, it's been the target of the newest incidence of bad poetry.
Take the keys to my heart
And drive me crazy
I've been runnin' on empty way too long
The things that you have missed
They can be returned to you
You just have to follow a simple twist
Starting next week
We have a new game
And everyone can play, even the meek
But first another round of the old game
So hold on tightly to what you love
Once I am done nothing will be the same.
Fischer may think it's a rather catchy tune, but (suprise!) no one else really agrees. However, it does raise interesting questions. How will everyone be able to reclaim their items? Weren’t some destroyed? Will the police be able to do anything about the crime? Will they able to solve the murder of Bjorn Waaler? Will anyone else be murdered?
Guess we’ll just have to wait and see...
