curtainsdown | and I know things now, many valuable things

[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. It's your dressing room, that much is certain, but 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, you're not out of the woods yet.]

[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.]

[Something sad lingers in her gaze.]

What plan did you come up with?

I went to the top of the tallest building in town and threw the crystal off it at random so whoever it hit would become my friend!

[...she sounds proud of this.]

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

Hime-san, I don't think you thought that through one bit!

Come on, D-ne! It worked, didn't it? There was no way I could just approach somebody!

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

I'll give you that.

[shy peeps represent]

[She leans on D-ne and sighs.] People really scared me back then. Even now, it's kind of intimidating.

[UM WOW hi....human contact......] ...I-I understand the feeling. S-so, did you find this, ah...friend of yours?

[geez d-ne we're friends!!!!!!!!]

Uh-huh. Megumi. I found her and followed her around for a while, and I saw that she was really nice, always helping people who needed it. Ribbon pushed me to go up and talk to her, and we started talking right away about fashion! It turned out she loved Precure and was always watching things about us on the news. Perfect, right? Even though she had the weakest Precure around who was always running away as a partner, Megumi was just happy to join.

That day, her friend's little sister was put into a mirror by a Phantom Empire general, and her feelings made a Saiark -- those were the monsters. I ran away when we started to lose again, but when Megumi found me, she told me that I wasn't weak because I kept trying again even when I lost. We went back and beat it, and we saved Mao-chan all by ourselves. That was when my luck started turning around.

[LOOK she's only had friendly human contact from one person alright!!!]

That's... Are you trying to tell me everything can still turn out for the best, no matter how dour it seems? [She smiles lightly.] I'm glad that it did, for you.

Uh-huh. Even Cure Fortune started to turn around eventually. Not before she tried to steal all my friends and told them all I opened Axia. [grumble] But it turned out that she didn't know it was an accident, and she was mad because her sister was captured by the Phantom Empire. She even joined us and became our friend.

It, ah, all sounds... [She sighs, gently.] What we have here, then, is two different experiences. Both of us have undergone, ah...difficulties, but yours have filled you with hope while mine have demoralized me further.

Because of the positive outcomes of yours, you believe we all have to lead happy lives, even myself. ...But there's no way to tell who will be correct, in the end, besides waiting.
