[Meeting/Catch-All] And it comes to an end, even winter... life fall

[Final week, time for some drama.

Mephisto calls a meeting on Sunday in a rush. He'll keep calling meetings every night he needs to. Better make sure the women's room is nice and comfy.]

[This time, it isn't notes, but Mephisto banging on doors. Again. He certainly looks unnerved, but he doesn't answer any questions about it until they're behind closed doors.

He is, of course, still wearing his new glasses.]

I saw something. Someone. With these. [He points to his glasses.] He was in the box office.

He wasn't the only thing I saw. There were rooms that did not match up with ours. A garden where the movie room should have been. People living in the rooms that were otherwise empty. And... nothing outside. Just... abyss.

Wait, in the box office? Do you think we should try to pick the lock?

[She's not sure what to make of magically changing rooms and the void, but she does know that she has a ton of bobby pins, and if there's a person, they should probably go investigate!]

I don't... Think he was here.

[He loves that initiative though, Christine.]

He was in the same "place" as the other rooms. The only difference is that he saw me.

What was he like? Do you think it was the Wizard?

He didn't seem like a wizard. He seemed very... plain.

But we don’t actually know if the Wizard is, like, a Harry Potter wizard. Did he seem at all — I dunno, unstable?

Even if he wasn't really there, there's something to be said about the fact that you communicated with him, for a second... If we track him down, maybe there's a clue there.

...What did he look like? Taller or shorter than you? Was he white?

I don't think we should go breaking into things just yet. [He's still very wary of what the Phantom told him about behavior.]

He was white, yes. My height, more or less.

Well, those are the two traits we actually have regarding what the Wizard looks like... Not that they're really that specific, but it's better than it being completely off base.

I suppose you have a point there.

[Now that he's thinking about it, though...

Can he remember anything specific about their new mystery friend? Even if it was just for a quick glimpse.]

[Mephisto doesn't seem to be suffering the same effect as Stephen did; though he only saw the man for a moment, he can remember his face about as well as you'd expect! Short blond hair, blue eyes...well. You know.]

This was... Different.

I could not tell you every detail about him, but it was more that was simply... An average man, rather than being eerily so. I don't... Believe this was our wizard.

Or at least, not as we were meant to see him.
