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.]

[Heh]

Can we at least get something useful out of it, other than the fact I deserve it?...I had Riley help me work out, and then...Santana, later.

[let him have a grown woman as a coach now, please, as opposed to a teenager. or just kick his ass, that works too]

You want to spar?

[She shrugs]

I'm not great at fighting, but we can try.
37773972: (am i in a dream or the in between?)

[personal profile] 37773972 2020-08-09 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm probably worse. I figure you might be able to teach me how to punch, though?
reassuranceandrevolution: (Sharpen your knives)

[personal profile] reassuranceandrevolution 2020-08-09 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I can do that. Let's check out the 4th floor first, I want to see what we were missing last week!
37773972: (is this real?)

[personal profile] 37773972 2020-08-09 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll show you around- just let me get changed. [There's...still a need for basic hygiene, right...]
reassuranceandrevolution: (Sharpen your knives)

[personal profile] reassuranceandrevolution 2020-08-09 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[eeeehh?]

I'll meet you in the hallway.

[She steps out of the room and over to her own. As far as she can tell they don't strictly need to change clothes or bathe; but much like eating and sleeping it makes things feel slightly more normal.]
37773972: (with simulations)

[personal profile] 37773972 2020-08-09 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[HE'S TRYING TO STICK TO WHAT NORMALCY HE HAS, OK...if that involves mundane activities, then so be it!!

but either way he'll be out in to the hallway soon enough, gesture for her to follow him, and then head upstairs]


There's an infirmary- we could have used that the other week, honestly. But I'm not sure what use it'll be here.

[Sigyns walks next to him up the stairs]

We can still get hurt, but it heals a lot faster.

[She eyes his arms]

Still shouldn't try any science experiments, though.
37773972: (am i too attached)

[personal profile] 37773972 2020-08-09 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[His arms are fine, for the record! No sign of scars. Boy, gotta love having an extra few days to heal, right?]

I won't. It was another long shot, anyway.
reassuranceandrevolution: (And Asgard will fall)

[personal profile] reassuranceandrevolution 2020-08-09 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Good.

[No explosions please.]

What else? Anything to top the pool?
37773972: ('cause i can't feel)

[personal profile] 37773972 2020-08-09 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Ice rink, an art studio- I liked the sauna, though, most.

[personal profile] reassuranceandrevolution 2020-08-09 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
...Do theaters normally have ice rinks and pools where you come from?

[Is this another cultural thing she doesn't get?]
37773972: (and there's nothing to hold)

[personal profile] 37773972 2020-08-09 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
No. This is the strangest place I've been to, and that includes when I was inside a mountain.

[They get to the top of the stairs and Sigyn just looks down the hall]

Why is this here at all? Did someone build it just for this sick game?
37773972: (to a memory?)

[personal profile] 37773972 2020-08-09 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Something else I should have asked. [But he didn't want to push it. Instead, he glances down at the other wing] If I had to guess, though, based on what I was told...I think the Wizard more or less just found out about this sort of thing, and decided to set it up himself? But it makes you wonder-

[He looks back at her]

-where'd he get the idea from?
reassuranceandrevolution: (And the boot across our throats)

[personal profile] reassuranceandrevolution 2020-08-09 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
From what you told me we aren't the first group this has happened to. Perhaps someone else built it and then abandoned the space?
37773972: (the more i can't explain it)

[personal profile] 37773972 2020-08-09 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what he told me. He just closed off so much, I was...afraid to push for more, in case I made him mad. [And then he did already]
reassuranceandrevolution: (I barely see you through my tears)

[personal profile] reassuranceandrevolution 2020-08-09 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Even if you did ask, I don't know if he would answer.

If we could find a way to perhaps contact someone who has been here before perhaps they could help us figure out how to escape. I was writing letters to someone the first week Jonny and I were here. After we met BJ, I though it was him, or maybe Evan, but now we're pretty sure it was someone else.
37773972: ('cause i'm not waking up)

[personal profile] 37773972 2020-08-09 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. [And that's why he was willing to risk trying again. Sigh. But then...]

...someone else? Are you still writing them?

[personal profile] reassuranceandrevolution 2020-08-09 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head]

After people started showing up, I'm ashamed to say I forgot for a while. I was going to try again when the trial doors opened. Probably drop one in this evening.
37773972: (and i don't think i'll escape)

[personal profile] 37773972 2020-08-09 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It may be the only thing we can do, at this point. I just hope it does something.
reassuranceandrevolution: (Can you be real)

[personal profile] reassuranceandrevolution 2020-08-09 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I just hope whoever it is can still answer. And that they want to help us.
