WEEK 3
[The past weekend has been a difficult one. With Valjean's murder and D-ne's brutal execution the monotony has been broken and it can be said the show is finally and truly underway.

When the performers emerge from their rooms on Monday morning the decor of the opera house has changed. Not drastically but someone was busy during the night with some redecorating. There are cobwebs draped over nearly everything, some of them with tiny plastic spiders stuck in the cotton webbing, and pumpkins of various sizes on the floor and on the tables. Some of the walls have been adorned with cartoon-ish paper skeletons and scarecrows and in the ballroom a poseable plastic skeleton has been posed at the piano looking ready to play. Someone's even set a bowl of candy on the counter of the merch booth.

But that's not all. There's a light coming from the now open doorway in the lobby that had been previously locked for the past two weeks. This new floor is similarly decorated but why not go have a look and explore for yourself?

Despite their losses, the show must go on after all.

[That... certainly isn't. She takes a while to answer, her voice soft.]

So I'm allowed to be mad at her?

[robitussin]

Yeah.

[God knows she's spent most of her life furious at her parents and her brother's memory.]

There's no such thing as allowed when it comes to shit like this, anyways. If anyone tries to tell you what you should and shouldn't be feeling, fuck them, honestly.

[sunshineprincess]

[Being allowed, no, being mad at Elsa was okay. Being mad at her parents was okay too, right? She still has some memories from her childhood that nag at her.

She's feeling so grateful towards Natalie now.]

Thank you... I wish I had known all of this years ago. Maybe I could have helped my sister if I was more open.

[robitussin]

Don't worry about it.

[Anna's next words earn a small noise of amusement, though.]

There you go again. Worry about helping yourself, too. It isn't your fault she blocked you out.

[sunshineprincess]

[She smiles sheepishly.]

It's a lot easier to help other people than myself.

[robitussin]

Ain't that just the way.

[A pause, and then she nods her head in the direction of the door.]

Shockingly, I haven't checked if there's any ice cream in the kitchen yet. Let's explore.

[sunshineprincess]

Oh! I love ice cream! I hope they have chocolate.

[She is all down for this plan. Lead the way!]

[robitussin]

Really? I was pretty sure you'd go for strawberry.

[Off to the kitchen they go!]

[sunshineprincess]

I didn't even know you could make strawberry flavor!

[Ice cream! Ice cream!]
