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.]

I don't think I can really quantify it, Hime-san, but it was an uncomfortably and unnaturally long time. There's nothing to be done about it, so put it out of your head, alright?

[rockthistown]

Okay. [shoulders slump] I guess we're stuck here anyway...

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

That we are. [...] Ah... I have...one more question if that's alright, though, Hime-san.

[She keeps her gaze at her tea, a tight little smile on her face.]

How...is Natalie? How was she doing, when you last saw her?

[rockthistown]

I think she's trying to be okay. She made fun of me a couple of times, but she did her best to make sure no one would kill for that motive. I'm worried, too...

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

Of course she is. A very determined girl, ah... [Her words are a little stilted, but nothing more than that.] ... I think she's strong. Whatever happens, she seems capable of pushing herself forward.

...I worry more for anyone who crosses her.

[rockthistown]

She'd better not end up here too! This is too many already!

oops small text

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

...Yes. She better not.

[rockthistown]

If anyone else ends up here, I'm gonna be so mad.

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

Hime-san... You know at least Gabriel-san is likely to, right? And this won't discourage more incentives.

[rockthistown]

It doesn't mean I have to like it.

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

I'll never say you have to. Just know that it's inevitable. No matter how much hope you have.

[rockthistown]

That's really depressing.

[lifegoalsorwifegoals]

[D-ne smiles. Considering she did so before her own death, it should be obvious that smiling doesn't exactly mean the same thing for D-ne as it does everyone else.]

The world's a depressing place.
