I. School Time [New Year, New Me - or rather pretty much he's the same music teacher as usual. For those who never had him before, Elliot comes off as a rather friendly teacher. One of those sweet teachers who always have a smile on their face. But just as you start to think his music class will be an easy A, he starts assigning a lot of homework and shows his tough grading rubric - all with that same sweet smile on his face. He's not an unfair teacher, but there's not gonna be any slacking off in his class.
And if you had him last year? Well, better hope you got some practice time during the summer, because he'll be checking up on that too.
When he's not teaching classes, he can be found in his office - or rather, a glorified storage closet that's been converted to a teacher office. There, he's working through a mountain of paperwork and lesson plans as he sips on a pumpkin spiced latte. Feel free to come by and talk to him, if you want some one-on-one time. ]
II. Inspiration Strikes [At least, that's how it goes for the first week and a half of school. Then...his performance starts to slack. During lectures, he seems to have "tip of the tongue" moments a lot, or forgets about assignments. And a few times, he fails to show up to class at all.
Manage to track him down either at his office or at his place, and you'll find him nose deep in a music competition notebook. He seems completely in the zone as he hums to himself and starts writing down composition. Sure, Elliot can get lost in the music sometimes, but even for him this seems a little...intense. ]
III. The Library - Music Wing [Finally, some people finally convince him to get away from that music notebook and get to the library in hopes of dealing his his memory problem. He brings a musical score to donate to the shelves. But before he can manage to track down one of the muses? He spots the music wing and immediately veers off into that direction. ]
Don't worry, it won't take long! I just want to have a peek-
[He tells that to whoever with him, and it's a gigantic lie. As soon as he's there, he's completely engrossed in everything the place has to offer. From all the instruments to the music, to the recordings-]
Oh wow! They actually have Mozart on a recording! Now I gotta see this...!
[Stop him or he will never leave this part of the library. Ever]
IV. The Records Wing [By some miracle, Elliot was finally pulled out of the music wing and even got his memories recovered. A true and utter miracle, really.
After being told to stay out of the music wing for at least a day (but oh does he plan to go back), he winds up in the records room. It's probably a bad idea to look into this stuff, but like everyone else- Elliot can't help himself. He ends up with a book, a red leather bound book with a horned lion on the spine along with his name. As he reads through it...it's surreal. There's similarities to his own life, but at the same time completely different. And there's so much, he finds himself deciding to go to the end-]
"They fly away. Elliot screams--"
[He stops, or rather, the text on the page stops. He stops, confused. He tries to flip the pages, seeing if he missed something]
That can't be the end. Where's the rest- [He stops as he notices a note on the final page in the bottom corner] "Timeline...aborted"?
[What in the world does that mean...?]
