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.]

chapel

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

[It feels like she's intruding on this place. D-ne's never entered the chapel, not once, because it is not hers. She is not a being who is allowed there. But...

Still, Hime's voice gives her pause at the door. She listens until the end, and then claps softly. It echoes.]

[rockthistown]

Gyah!

[Hime jolts up and flails. She notices D-ne and deflates.]

Sorry... Do you want to come in?

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

[She giggles, lightly.]

I think...this is the sort of place I shouldn't be? [Smile.] Your song's sweet.

[rockthistown]

Huh? Why not?

[Still, Hime gets up and walks toward the door.]

I don't think God would get mad at you if you came in. I think he's learned his lesson about burning his bridges when something goes wrong.

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

Considering that my murder attempt began when Valjean-san was praying, it's likely not the best place for me either way, Hime-san.

[rockthistown]

[Hime looks dejected at that. She looks back, gives a small bow to the altar, and steps out of the room to see D-ne.]

Are you doing anything?

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

[aw don't leave on her account hime!! a little sigh]

Besides this? No, not right now. I just heard your enlightening melody, that's all.

[rockthistown]

I guess I'm just worried. You always told me I trusted too much, and maybe... even if you were right, I don't want to change that. I don't think it would do any good to.

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

After all this, still...? [After a moment, she smiles.] If that works for you, then I won't persuade you to stop, Hime-san. Your words even came in handy, I think.

[rockthistown]

Do you really think so?

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

I know as much. It... Well, some people need a more refreshing tone of voice, not, ah, what I would find comforting. Natalie-san is one of them.

[rockthistown]

She really is a good person, even if she's kind of scary and likes to make fun of people.

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

[She laughs.] Scary? Oh, no, she is far from... ...Well, it is scary when she's angry at you. [for other reasons] No, don't tell her I said this, but she's...quite a sweet person.

[rockthistown]

She picks on me, but she's never done anything really mean.

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

It's her teasing you. It means she enjoys talking to you.

[rockthistown]

Why is teasing supposed to be good?

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

It's an expression of endearment. Some people have a hard time expressing their honest feelings and also like joking around. Or just find it fun.

[rockthistown]

It's still not really nice... But I guess so.
