[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.]

[Christine has been reading things far about her grade for hours now. When she sees letters, she almost wants to close her eyes... but she decides against it, studying each paper with increasing concern.]

He's ending this? I thought he needed us all to die for... power, or whatever it is he's trying to accomplish.

[She sighs softly and tosses the letter back down.]

I checked the crypts not too long ago. All of them are empty. The Phantom told me he was 'keeping them safe,' so I assumed it was for reviving them. I was... worried he had already been doing that, that he was bringing their bodies back for those... sick executions.

[Okay, some of us were trying to get our beauty sleep, Mephisto.

Anne sits on the floor of the women's bathroom in her nightgown, blanket tossed around her shoulders, green sunglasses on like they might somehow prevent everyone else from seeing how tired she is, Richard's crown perched on her head. It's a real look. She scowls at the letter, then passes it on.]


What was the point, if that was always the plan?

Why not both, at this point?

[Dad, do you have to point that out? This was exactly what Christine was so afraid of.]

I'm asking him to bring one of the bodies up from where he's keeping them. If I can see if they have damage or if they've been healed, that might explain whether or not it was really them on the stage.

If we’re all performers, then who are we performing for? The Wizard, or some other sick audience?

This is life, not a pop concert! [ the..... irony.....]

An encore, with all the performers. Does he intend to have us all perform again? Repeat it all?

I asked him to do it somewhere private.

[That way, she can deal with it on her own. She'll have to head over there soon enough but, for now, she's got the time to spare.]

I've tried leaving letters for him, but he hasn't answered my requests to talk. I thought if we could just meet, it wouldn't be summoning...

[personal profile] madgiganticfeelings 2020-08-10 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
...Right.

[Christine looks away for a moment, feeling guilty, but... the Phantom hadn't told her it was okay to bring anyone else. It's probably for the best she just... forget to tell him when and where he's bringing the body.]
garbageface: (at attention)

[personal profile] garbageface 2020-08-10 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, if they were a species, then shouldn’t you also have some kind of knowledge about the Wizard?

[ since Mephisto is also. technically a demon. ]

It sounded like this was... new. That the Wizard was a good opportunity for the Phantom, but he liked that he treated him the same as everyone else.

I really really hope it wasn't them.

And if it was, I hope they... never remember.

It's weird, ja? He seems so upset with how people treat him, but then this Wizard... Isn't he treating him worst of all?
madgiganticfeelings: (cold read)

[personal profile] madgiganticfeelings 2020-08-10 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope so too. If it helps, I... I don't think any of them would have wanted to do anything like that.

[King Richard especially, but Spinel, Claudine... even Jonny wouldn't have done something that callous.]

[personal profile] madgiganticfeelings 2020-08-10 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Not to mention many of us tried to be friends with him. I... I try not to be too harsh when I'm talking to him, specifically because I don't want to be like the people he's dealt with before.

But it doesn't seem like that matters.
