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.

I hope not. But since last week I'm pretty sure we're all going to be here longer than a month.

[Since they would probably only leave after a month if no one died.]

[solomonjihad]

...Even if we are, I'm sure we'll figure something out. Even if its...living here.

[She doesn't seem too...upset by the prospect.]

[dontfeedplants]

... Do you think if we don't kill anyone for a couple of months we'll be let out?

[He feels like this is a huge reach at this point, but he wants to hope for something.]

[solomonjihad]

I don't see why not.

[She shrugs.]

Though, if we stay here forever, I wonder if it wouldn't be so bad.

[dontfeedplants]

I guess we have all the necessities we could ever need, but I don't know if I could be trapped in a building like this forever.

[solomonjihad]

...I don't know. I could, I guess.

[dontfeedplants]

You're stronger than me. I'm not sure how much more I can take of all this.

[solomonjihad]

...

I...don't know if its being stronger. Its just what I would...do.

[dontfeedplants]

I think it's pretty strong to me.

[solomonjihad]

[She gives a small smile, at this.]

I think you're strong, too. It doesn't matter if you're stronger than me or not. That we're all alive right now...its bad, but we can do it, right?

[dontfeedplants]

You're right. I'm actually kind of surprised I've made it this long without dying.

[solomonjihad]

I can't think of why anyone would wish to...ah.

[Uh, maybe she shouldn't jinx it. She closes her mouth, frowning.]

Never mind about that.
