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.]

[hey, Spinel, I saw that gagtag. You get a special pink-haired Beetlejuice in your box with you!]

Nah, it's only fun the first dozen times.

[herwiggles]

[gasps Her buddy]

Well hey there, old Beetleborg!

[Eheh, get it? t's not his name.]

Aw, c'mon. I just wanna see if I can get to the stage again! The view from there was great.

[beejfq]

[It' attention, he'll take it!]

Heya, Spinny! You're stretchy enough to try but like I said, I've been here years and never made it down. [He pops his feet up onto the edge of the box, bright-eyed and curious.] What's it like up there?

[herwiggles]

Years? Oh wow, that must be tough. If I had to stand still for six thousand years and never go anywhere, I'd probably be way less happy.

[Ah... good times. She taps her chin.]

It's not bad! It's just that I was sorta behind those curtains, you know? Couldn't see much besides the other side of the stage. And everyone else on it, of course!

[beejfq]

Eeeeey, I see what you did there. [Joking about our traumas is the same as coping, right?]

Oh right, you had the really badass sword and scythe thing going on with Claude- wait, so do you remember cutting Ango in half? 'Cause I'm gonna be real here...



That was awesome.

[herwiggles]

[That's how coping works!! Right?]

Heh, yeah... that was so embarrassing.

[The trauma, not, the... Her face scrunches up.]

Do I remember what? [Shakes head?] All I remember is seeing... Angus, right? It's Angus? I saw him there with me.

[beejfq]

What, like, while you were waiting in the wings? Cause we definitely saw you and Claude give him the Darth Maul special.

[herwiggles]

What? No, no, no. I don't do stuff like that. No way!

[Scratches her chin.]

I mean, I'd... probably remember doing something like that.

[beejfq]

Huh.

That's probably plot important. Better hold onto that, Spin.

[herwiggles]

You think so?

[huh. She's important now.]

Okay. I'll hang onto that.

[beejfq]

[Aw, Spinel, you're always important.

Time for a too long, cartoon-y extend-o arm buddy fist bump?]

[herwiggles]

[Heck YEAH she is. She'll meet you halfway on that fist bump... across the room that is.]

[beejfq]

[Aaaaaaw yiss!!!]
