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.]

Uh. Wh - I, um.

[That all looks normal to Evan, who just walked in!

But he's brought something else weird along with him! Say hi to Steven!]
holyspit: (unfortunate)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-08 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, no.

[That. Doesn't look good.]

Have they- you know, figured it out yet?

[WHIPLASH.]

Steven?
holyspit: (unfortunate)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-08 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Wow. This is still a lot, even expecting it.]

[Steven stares for a second before giving a sad little wave from Evan and BJ's booth.]


Hi your majesty. Sorry, I don't think I'll be able to really finish your biography.
superbeliever: (♚ ⚔ 004 ⚔ ♚)

[personal profile] superbeliever 2020-08-08 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
You're not supposed to be here. Like, at all, but especially not during the-

[He looks at the trial room, and then back at Steven. There's a lot happening right now, Steven.]

...There's something fishy going on here.

[But! He doesn't want to seem like he isn't- well, he's not happy to see Steven, obviously, but like he doesn't want to be unfriendly about it, so:]

But after this is over, believe me, the hug carriage is pulling into the station.
holyspit: (what is this)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-08 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Carriages have stations?
superbeliever: (♚ ⚔ 065 ⚔ ♚)

[personal profile] superbeliever 2020-08-08 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
You know- the thing you pull up to, that's like made of wood, so you don't get your boots dirty by stepping down into the carriage tracks.
isawallflower: (if i'd only made it)

[personal profile] isawallflower 2020-08-08 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ WHAT?? WHAT???? ]

H-hey- heyyy, has this ever- they don't usually...show up yet, do they?!
holyspit: (oh schnikeys)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-08 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Do we not?

[This is all new to him too, can things maybe stop moving so fast?]
isawallflower: (if you're gonna have a mental breakdown)

[personal profile] isawallflower 2020-08-08 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Shilo didn't!

[ hi steven nice to talk to you but damn these circumstances suck ]
expertreese: (before I lead with the worst of me)

[personal profile] expertreese 2020-08-08 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Nnnnnnoooooo...I mean, no one else has...
mcfife: (🔪 where I'll find my destiny)

[personal profile] mcfife 2020-08-08 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[???]

How long have you been here?!
holyspit: (one fear)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-08 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh- not too long, I don't think? Maybe a few minutes?

[How long does it take to get from the kitchen or here, including a short, confused conversation?]

...Are you still Evil Angus or just Angus again?
mcfife: concern (☀️clouds beneath)

[personal profile] mcfife 2020-08-08 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
What-

[He can answer this question. He should know.]

The Knife of Evil's effect does not simply vanish.
reassuranceandrevolution: (For doing what is right)

[personal profile] reassuranceandrevolution 2020-08-08 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Steven?

[This is all a lot, and now he's turned up??? Early???]

Why - are you okay?
holyspit: (my apps)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-08 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Sigyn!

[This is perfectly fine!]

Uh- okay for being dead, I guess? Kind of- not sure, honestly.

[He is gonna beat the shit out of Tall Stephen, but he's fine!]
reassuranceandrevolution: (Default)

[personal profile] reassuranceandrevolution 2020-08-08 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[They can all beat him together.]
herwiggles: (Funny)

[personal profile] herwiggles 2020-08-08 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
STEVEN!!!

[Oh buddy, nothing is getting in the way of this Gem on a mission to tackle-hug you to the ground.

Apologies for the cartoonishly large tears
]
holyspit: (the natural conclusion)

[personal profile] holyspit 2020-08-08 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
SPINEL!

[Oh, ow, tackling, hugging, okay. At least this is a better reception than he was expecting from her?]

[And. Oh wow. The reality of those missing two years is really hitting now. Hoo.]


It's- good to see you. I'm sorry.

[Hugs and tears is now, dealing with missing memories can be later.]
herwiggles: (This)

[personal profile] herwiggles 2020-08-08 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Any other reception would have been nonsense! The bad kind! Spinel's made a change!

Also she's just. Not letting go of him. You've got a Gem draped over you, Steven.
]

No, no no. You don't have to apologize! I was a wreck with everything that happened!

[That's... probably not what he means.]
