second investigation

[stagemanagers]

[Friday has come around once again, and once again, things might seem a little off to the performers.

A little bit of deja vu starts to rear its head, and those anticipating the smell of blood will definitely get their fix as they approach the lobby.

>Investigate?]

Astarte-

[Just going to carefully approach and...and...not cry, he's not gonna cry, not now, he can't. But...Hime, too...this hurts him as badly as D-ne's confession.

He's gentle as he tries to help Astarte up from sobbing all over poor Hime.]

[It will take some effort to get her off, namely because...she's just...she doesn't want to believe it. At the same time, she doesn't fight. She just flops in Raoul's arms as she's dragged off.]

[dechagny]

[Hey he's not dragging her he's...gently pulling her up and removing her from the situation. At least a couple steps down. And making sure she's sitting upright against a wall and oh, it's a good thing he's a gentleman, because guess what he's got in his suit jacket pocket? A hanky. And he's gonna press it into her hands.]

[solomonjihad]

[There's...only one thing to do with the handkerchief. Stoically stare at it, and--cry hysterically as you shove your face into it.

Sorry, Raoul, she'll...wash it for you once this is all over. And she's not as devastated. Just. How is she supposed to fulfill her destiny if seeing a body freaks her out like this?

She doesn't want it. Not if it means this...]

[dechagny]

[That's what the hanky's there for. You can keep it if you like, it was part of this outfit's costume.]
