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.]

AH-!

[Steven jerks back and awake, chair clattering to the floor as he drops to his feet, bracing against the counter and breathing heavily.]

[The memory of the sharp, chemical smell still fills his nose, something soft and damp suddenly pressing across his face.]


What's-?! ...Oh.

[That had. Actually happened, hadn't it. Maybe it was fine? He felt all right... but why-? And where was-]

...Hello?
expertreese: (I've got nothing to say)

[personal profile] expertreese 2020-08-08 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[The halls outside are deathly silent and still.

Except for like, one guy.]


Uh........hello???

[NOW THE NIGHTMARE'S REAL
NOW EVAN HA-ANSEN IS HEEEEEEEEERE]
holyspit: (real tired of your bullshit white)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-08 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
...Hello?

[That. Doesn't immediately sound like anyone he recognizes? He's just gonna cautiously poke his head into the hallways.]

[Who's this motherfucker.]


...Are you the Phantom's "friend"?
expertreese: (if you slip away)

[personal profile] expertreese 2020-08-08 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh. No????? I'm, uh, I guess I might be Beetlejuice's friend, kinda.

[they're besties]
holyspit: (hello darkness)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-08 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
The striped ghost guy?

[Who he still hasn't quite managed to actually meet, rip.]

How did you get-

[Wait. Wait. ...Shit.]

Oh.

[He's gonna need a minute here.]
expertreese: (I've learned to slam on the brakes)

[personal profile] expertreese 2020-08-08 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, he's not, uh, he's not the worst...

[living side has a way worse ghost guy tbh]

Oh, um. You. Are you. Steven?
holyspit: (this is not fine)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-08 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Give him a minute to process the BETRAYAL, please.]

Yeah, I- sorry. Who are you, exactly?
expertreese: (before I lead with the worst of me)

[personal profile] expertreese 2020-08-08 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, I'm Evan. Hansen. Evan Hansen.

[..........]

Sorry about the, um. You know.
holyspit: (YOU)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-08 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Evan? ...Oh. OH! You're the guy! The one Chewie was talking about!

[Sorry is for later, emotional repression is for now!]
holyspit: ("lay-zer")

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-08 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
The guy on the phone? We've been texting.
expertreese: (if you slip away)

[personal profile] expertreese 2020-08-08 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[..........]

Oh, uh, Riley said something about a phone guy?
holyspit: (okay okay okay)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-08 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! We found a phone, and started texting this guy we thought might know something? And he mentioned something about someone named Evan!

[or phas is horribly misremembering the chain of events here, in which case rip]
expertreese: (before I lead with the worst of me)

[personal profile] expertreese 2020-08-08 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[I regret to inform you that you are definitely misremembering the chain of events, and also that Evan has no real way of knowing this! Claudine was the one who mentioned him and Chewie denied knowing any Evans.]

Oh. Um, I, I didn't...their name's Chewie?
holyspit: ("lay-zer")

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-08 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[well fuck me then, guess Steven's got a faulty memory now]

That's what we've been calling him. I mean, it's probably not his real name? But he didn't object to it.
expertreese: (if you keep getting burned)

[personal profile] expertreese 2020-08-08 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
O-okay.

[..........]

Um. All. All your friends are back in the trial room, if you - I mean, people don't. Usually people come here...after? That?
holyspit: (hello darkness)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-08 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. You've- all seen that, huh.

[Did that come up in any of the hauntings? He feels like he'd remember hearing that.]
expertreese: (I've learned to slam on the brakes)

[personal profile] expertreese 2020-08-08 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh. I mean, not. I don't really like to, um, not that anybody really likes to watch them, but.

[yes. is the point. yes they have. pretty sure it was not mentioned in any hauntings.]
holyspit: (oh schnikeys)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-08 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Nobody likes doing them, either.

[Well. This is fine! It's fine.]

...Yeah. We should. Probably go. There.

[HE HATES THIS.]
expertreese: (Default)

[personal profile] expertreese 2020-08-08 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh. Okay, I'll. I'll take you.

[Steven knows where it is and all, but it seems, uh, mean? To ditch him? Anyway, let's go!]
