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.]

[The Phantom looks down at the flowers.]

Hm.

[yeah apparently he doesn't find that worthy of much comment!]

[mcfife]

[You’re not providing much opportunity for Evil here, friend, short of possession. Which is a potential last resort if all else fails.

But he will try to draw a small sigil in the dirt to get his attention. And then an “A”. That will show him who sent those!!]

[inside_yourmind]

And Angus. I see.

[mcfife]

Finally!

[He sits on top of his grave and makes sure he uses enough force to have it rattle. He’s here. He’s waiting.]

[inside_yourmind]

[That was a figurative "I see", he does not actually see you? He looks at the grave, but...I mean what are you supposed to say about that.]

[mcfife]

[How does one command another to speak?

By writing a “Y E S ?” In the dirt and waiting.]

[inside_yourmind]

[Hm. Well.]

Are you still afflicted with your contagion?

[mcfife]

[It’s not a -

Well, it is, isn’t it? It spreads through his veins, then reaches his brain. But he’s fine now. It’s fine.

The line that appears under the “yes” is slow and uncertain.]

[inside_yourmind]

...interesting.

[mcfife]

[Circles the “?” He’s concerned; didn’t the Phantom have a wizard to consult? That response could mean anything.]
