and I know things now, many valuable things

[stagemanagers]

[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.]

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.

[rockthistown]

Do you think we'll know? Aside from nobody showing up here anymore.

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

Perhaps. Perhaps we'll be forever in a state of Schrodinger's Cat, knowing neither if the ending will be happy or unhappy.

[rockthistown]

I don't want that either! Even if we have to be dead, they should be able to go home...

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

It's just an option. You're the one who asked my opinion.

[rockthistown]

I bet we can investigate or something, though.

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

Oh, naturally. But we won't necessarily find anything.

[teaching d-ne to hope is a hard task hime]

[rockthistown]

What else are we gonna do, even if you don't like it?

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

Nothing! I'm not opposing investigating. In fact, I encourage it! I'm just keeping a realistic point of view.

[rockthistown]

Okay... I'll let you know when I find anything, okay?

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

Me as well, Hime-san.

Thank you for listening to me.
