week 5
[That was...an absolute shitshow. More beloved friends are dead in a mess of a trial that's left Angus half the man he was, Riley in a free fall and the Phantom...somehow still standing despite taking two stabs to the torso.
When you wake on Sunday, you'll find that you've recovered another one of those memories - or had another dream, if you still wanna be in denial about it. The door blocking the stairwell on the second floor has been unsealed. You can now venture up to the third floor! You have so much space now, it's just a shame it's all come at the cost of eight lives.
But despite the tragedy you have made progress! The trip into the Phantom's lair yielded some hints to the past of the Opera House, your house manager's apparently grim hobby and the possibility of an ally outside the Opera House. Who knows what this week will bring?]
Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday
(( Welcome to Week 5! Please remember to submit your AC and your memory regains, as well as your coins! You can also still contact the Phantom. ))

I'm just doing what you did! And, and I don't know? Maybe? The man sounds familiar, but I don't know from where...

[Steven.]

All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here suddenly I see
Standing here it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see him
All those days, crushing other's daydreams
All those years, living in a blur
All that time, never truly seeing
Things the way they were
He'd been here, shining in the spotlight
He'd been here, suddenly I knew
With him here, it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go
And at last, I've seen the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I've seen the light
And it's like the walls were new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once, everything is different
Now that I've seen him...
[Any fuss until now, at least. By the end of his part, the man is audibly struggling to hold back tears. For a minute or two, there's just silence.]
So you know how we have ghosts, right? [The woman ventures.] And how they can hear everything we do?
[A reply doesn't seem forthcoming, so she doesn't wait for one.]
How does he know you love him
How does he know he's yours?
How does he know that you love him
How do you show him you love him
How does he know that you really, really, truly love him
How does he know that you love him
How do you show him you love him
How does he know that you really, really, truly love him
It's not enough to take the one you love for granted
You must remind him, or he'll be inclined to say
How do I know he loves me
How do I know he's mine
Well do you leave a little note at the booth
To tell him that he's on your mind
Set down red roses at the door every day, hey
You'll find a new way to show him, a little bit everyday
That's how he'll know, that's how he'll know
He's your love
You've got to show him you miss him
Don't treat him like a mind reader
Each day do something to need him
To believe you miss him
Everybody wants to live happily ever after
Everybody wants to know their true love is true
How does he know you love him
How does he know he's yours
Well would you take him out dancin'
Just so you could hold him close
Dedicate a song with words in
Just for him, oh
You'll find your own way to tell him
With the little things you'll do
That's how he'll know
That's how he'll know
You're his love
You're his love
What do you think? Too cheesy?
Definitely. [What's that? Is that the sound of this guy crying into the mic? Yep.] Too cheesy.
[End of the final recording. Seems like you're not the only people with losses to have visited this studio.]
no subject
[Christine listens, and she's pretty sure the guy isn't the only one trying to choke back tears. These people suffered losses, just as they had. They were singing about it, trying to keep their spirits up. And maybe, maybe part of the reason for that was because they knew the people who they had lost were watching over them.
She looks at Steven, eyes wide.] Do you think the Phantom banned seances so we wouldn't find out?
no subject
He would, if he knew!
[Oh. Oh no.]
...After. After the trial, on Friday. I tried getting him to- give back Spinel's shards.
[As you do.]
He said something about helping her get better, like- he was gonna bring her back somehow. I was so mad I just kept yelling at him, but what if he's telling the truth? What if he's- doing something with all the ghosts of everyone that's died, or something?
no subject
[Christine is pacing around the room now, maybe looking for any buttons that maybe could give her more clues, or some hidden tapes. She's back in detective mode, at least for now.]
But can we trust that what he's doing is helping? We discussed the possibility of this being some sort of ritual, didn't we? Where he's sacrificing souls?
[She doesn't want to believe that, but...]
no subject
[Just. Flatly.]
He keeps saying this is about fixing something, but if that includes bringing back everyone that's dead why would anyone have to die in the first place?
no subject
[Christine looks uncomfortable then. She doesn't want to admit that she's still holding out hope for the Phantom. She definitely doesn't want to mention it's because of Spinel that she believes that.
...She shouldn't be talking like this. She lowers her head and falls silent, going back to looking around at the recording equipment.]
no subject
[Can you imagine someone just shouldering all that on their own and ignoring any possible support network, ridiculous.]
no subject
no subject
You think he was involved in-
[Steven gestures at the recording equipment.]
These guys?
