1st victim

[stagemanagers]

[The performers have been in the opera house for nearly two weeks now. Overall, despite the captivity, the experience has been a mellow one even with the introduction of the motive. Peaceful almost.

It's 7 am Friday morning. As everyone starts to putter out of their dressing rooms and begin the day, something feels different. A certain heaviness in the air, a sense of dread...oh, and then there's the metallic smell of blood coming from the hallway.

Investigate?]

[Well, that's. D-ne is stiff, as if she's not used to such a gesture, but manages to almost return it, sort of. One arm up at Raoul's mid-back. Her hand's trembling.

When he pulls away, she blinks, a little confused, and trails behind.]

Ah...? Oh, is that...?

We should check it. Unless you would rather sit, in which case I will check it.

I think... I will be best here.

[He'll nod, and offer a reassuring smile. It's not as brilliant as it should be, but it is full of honest sentiment.] It will be alright, Miss D-ne. We will find out what has happened and apprehend the murderer - and then we will not have to worry anymore.

[Raoul........]

[Whether she believes him or not, she responds:]

...Yes... Yes, that's just what will happen.
