first investigation

[stagemanagers]

Your second Friday in the gilded cage that is the Opera House feels very much like the one before. The only real exception is that today is the deadline for the Phantom’s offer, to erase a single person from existence in exchange for one of their lives. The morning is quiet as you all filter out of your rooms with no immediate signs that anyone’s taken your house manager up on his offer.

That is, except for the very small, dark stains on the carpet of the dressing room hallway but that’s probably unrelated.

[holyspit]

Okay, Banana. It's a nice name.

[He looks back down at the body, still vaguely hoping it'll start glowing pink.]

Thank you. ...You should go help Christine, like you said.

[At least one of them can still be useful.]
