week 5

[stagemanagers]

[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. ))

[He doesn't like to think about it. He doesn't want to think about those that are going to get hurt this week -- because what have they done to actively prevent it?

His head spins for a moment, but he's sure it's just aggravation.]

We do what we always do. We keep our spirits high, show him that this won't work.

[Stephen remembers worrying a bit last week, over possible threats- he wonders if Mephisto was as tired of it then as he must be now. But the angel's surety is calming, and he nods, finding strength in it.]

...right. If he wanted us dead outright, there's faster ways.

[heathencall]

Exactly.

[He rubs at his temple, breathing out slowly.]

I'm not going to lose anyone else, Stephen.

[He's quiet for a long moment...then...reaches to rest a hand on Mephisto's shoulder.]

As long as you're not going anywhere, either.

[Mephisto does his best to smile.]

I made a promise, did I not?

[37773972]

You did. I'm just reminding you.

[Please don't ever leave.]

[heathencall]

[The smile wobbles. Something presses into Mephisto's throat.]

How could I forget?
