now let's skip the tears and start on the whole-
[You remember dying. Maybe the memory is clear and bright and your body still aches from the cause. Maybe it was fast enough that you didn't feel it and don't remember what you went through. But no matter how you went out you're still trapped here.
When you open your eyes it might take you a minute to recognize your surroundings. For the executed, it's your dressing room. For the victims, you startle awake in the place your body was discovered. But no matter where you are nothing is where you remember it. It's like everything has been picked up and moved to the other side of the room. The entire room has been perfectly mirrored from what it used to be and, upon leaving, it seems the rest of the opera house is just the same. If you remember one room being in the east wing, it's now in the west. If it was in the west, it's now in the east.
Welcome back to the Opera House, friends. Even in death you're still in the woods.]
WEEK 1 | WEEK 2 | WEEK 3 | WEEK 4 | WEEK 5
[ooc: Welcome to deadland, darlings! It's a perfectly mirrored version of the Opera House and each week, as new people die after new floors have been revealed, the stairwell doors will unlock and allow you to reach them. For example, week 3 victims will unlock floor 2 and so on and so forth. Also, all dead characters will wake up at their actual canon point.
Have fun because we have some fun things planned for you.]

She huffs out a laugh and helps him into a more comfortable seated position.]
Very cool.
no subject
Help me... Back to my seat. I need to... watch.
His will be the only execution here I'll relish.
no subject
By the time he is back in his seat the votes have all been cast. She glances back to the trial, and for a second the grip she still has on Richard's hand tightens.]
Riley...
[We watched her burn in bloody...]
no subject
He lets Sigyn keep holding his hand, but he doesn't answer her right away, looking over at Red.]
You should go. You don't have to watch this. Someone should be there when Spinel and Claudine wake up.
[He couldn't spare you your own execution. Let him spare you this.]
no subject
[She's torn about leaving him to watch, but-- she really doesn't want to watch. Any excuse to get away... just for a little bit. Luckily he still has others with him. And she can check back in with him later.]

...Given his current condition there's no way I can make this not sound ominous, but I cannot articulate enough how much he earnestly means it.]
We will. We'll meet you in the entrance hall, how about that?
no subject
[She nods her head firmly.]
We'll see you there.
no subject
Richard I-[If it was just Angus, it would be fine. But Riley...
Thoughts of fire fill her mind. Screams of pain on a monitor, happening planets away, and she could do nothing]
no subject
You can go too, if you want. I'm more used to watching executions than likely anyone here.
...Usually because I ordered them, but still. The point remains.
[And then this happens.]
no subject
Riley stabbing the Phantom makes her unreasonably happy, but that is soon squashed when she falls. Sigyn jumps a little when her body hits the stage below]
I'm going to Riley.
no subject
But he's happy that it's fast, that Riley fights back. That she doesn't let herself be tortured to death.
He doesn't catch the reason behind it, but he does mark the change in Angus, the way he stands and faces death with dignity.
He doesn't flinch away from the deaths, not in a way that Sigyn could feel with her hand on his shoulder, but he does squeeze his eyes shut when the Phantom pushes Riley over the banister.
After it's over, and Sigyn speaks, he looks up toward her.]
'Going to her?' Will she not be...
[Where she fell?]
no subject
Red and me woke up in our rooms, so we're assuming if someone is killed in here they go to their dressing rooms.
no subject
Then I'll go and give the prince a royal welcome.
[...Actually, that was kind of badass, Richard, good job.]
no subject
no subject
He has to lean on the chair and use the arms of the seat to push himself standing, but he does so with only minor wobbling.]
I don't know what I'll find, but I'm hoping it doesn't come to a fight.
...Not today, at least. I'll hit him eventually.

Sounds like a plan.
