now let's skip the tears and start on the whole-

[stagemanagers]

[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.]

That is why I'm going to get the back on track.

[ You can take the girl out of the meetings, but... Riley takes a deep breath. ] I...don't think I can for long. But...if we all concentrate on, um. Mephisto.

[ ...First thought, sorry dad. ]

[superbeliever]

...Wait, I thought his name was Ariel.

[isawallflower]

...You were alive when he told us that was a- I'll explain it later, but please tell me you know what Christianity is.

[ SHE'S NOT DOING THAT AGAIN!!! ]

[superbeliever]

Of course I know what Christianity is. What does that have to do with anything?

[isawallflower]

Ooookay, well he's a fallen angel, that makes this easy, there! Back to business!!!

[reassuranceandrevolution]

Mephisto was pretending to be Ariel to gain our trust.

Wait, didn't he reveal who he was right after my trial?

[superbeliever]

Really? Wow, I totally missed that.

I just thought the pressure really got to him and made him... meaner.

[isawallflower]

He is not mean!! [ >:c ] He just- he has a lot on his mind.

[superbeliever]

Well, he is...definitely more prickly than he was - apparently just pretending to be - before.

[Ariel was nice to him! Mephisto was a little rude boy. :(]

[isawallflower]

Okay, he...yes. But he's more honest now. And... He's really trying.

[ Riley may be a little defensive of her demon father. ]

[superbeliever]

Fair enough.

[I mean he IS letting them all use his body.]
