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.]

[he's more melancholy than angry at least she kind of pulls him out of it. (for now)]

It shouldn't have, you're right. I'm very sorry about what happened to you.

That's not even your fault! It was... [Hime goes quiet and looks at the floor.] It wasn't even the first time I've been tricked into something that hurt anyone.

What do you mean by that?

The Phantom Empire, the enemies we used to fight before -- they're the whole reason I came to Earth after they took over the Blue Sky Kingdom. I was the one who let them out. They'd been trapped for centuries and I wasn't supposed to touch the box, but I heard a voice calling for help... I didn't know anything.

[Hime sighs and looks apprehensively up at Javert.]

I know it all turned out okay and they were all just angry because of the hurt in their own lives, but I still should have known. And now, too, with the fake Heather dummy and the box. I'm really sorry.

[javert smiles???? almost??? sadly]

The Stunt Cow falling down the stairs was you?

I thought it was real, but as soon as I grabbed it, I realized it was a dummy, and then something came down and hit me! The last thing I remember was falling down the stairs and the dummy slipping out of my hand as it fell with me.

[So yes, it basically happened exactly as shown in the "execution."]

You couldn't have known better. I'm sorry you fell prey to such a trap.

[poor girl :( and yes hes totally still apologizing while telling her not to apologize ]

I'm sorry. [Hime's shoulders slump, but she seems a little more at ease.] None of us should be stuck here.

...Do you think we really would have been able to go home if nobody died? Or were we cursed to do it anyway because of D-ne's book?
