WEEK 4
[Another week has passed in the opera house and things are looking grim as ever. With Gabe and Hime gone, the performers are down to 16 of them.

On Monday, the opera house is still heavily decorated with a few new additions. There are more cottony cobwebs, a few small ghosts hanging from the ceiling made of cheesecloth, even more pumpkins here and there. A few more candy bowls have been set out in places like the dining room and a few others and only a few of them are only filled with candy corn. In the dressing rooms the stars on Gabe and Hime's doors have fallen off, leaving behind a patch of star-shaped wood slightly lighter than the rest of the doors on Hime's and a different star underneath on Gabe's.

Like the previous week, the door on in the second floor lobby is unlocked and a new floor is ready to be explored. Have a good week, everyone.]

[yeah this is way more javert's style than the party so i hope you're ready for someone else also snooping about on the new floor. he seems particularly interested in the locked room, of course. which is why he eventually wanders into the Game Room and notices Raoul.]

Any luck?

[dechagny]

[Oh he'll go there later, when he's dressed properly and has made a quiche, but for now he wants to know things and get answers. And...try to forget how much of a spoiled woman Carlotta is. Even if insisting she play a mute part in an opera is rude as all get out, Raoul has his biases. He just doesn't pretend to be opera ghosts or try to run the place he's only giving money to.]

Nothing yet, Inspector. Though it might help if I knew what I should be looking for...I would rather not find something important and then disregard it on accident.

[irreprochable]

That is a difficult part of the task, especially when the things they have here are so out of the ordinary to start with.

[dechagny]

Out of the ordinary and unfamiliar - for instance!

[He picks up a few nearby items: a container of dice with varying amounts of sides, the floorplan of a dungeon sketched out on large graph paper, and a book with a fire breathing dragon on it.]

What use could any of this have for playing a game? It seems far too complicated.

[irreprochable]

[javert examines the d&d set]

Why do these dice have so many sides?

[dechagny]

I am not sure - is it some sort of new way to gamble? I am not a gambling man, but surely six sides are enough of a risk...

[irreprochable]

I cannot begin to imagine the justifications of gambling logic.

[dechagny]

[SHRUG. He really doesn't know.]

[irreprochable]

This room seems cluttered enough something could be hiding in plain sight.

[dechagny]

Or...perhaps, hidden, but not particularly well?

[irreprochable]

I'll help you look. Maybe the key will turn up in the process.

[dechagny]

They key?

[Tell him about the locked door Javert]

[irreprochable]

There's a locked door near the room with all the paint.

[dechagny]

Ah - I did not notice it, though now I wish I had.

[Raoul what are you gonna do, schmooze at it with wine and burnt quiche]

Perhaps there might be some way to pick the lock?

[irreprochable]

Perhaps. That's not a skill I possess. Finding the key might be faster.

[dechagny]

It could be anywhere, though - this opera house expands in size by the week, and there are rooms enough where the clutter is incredibly thick.

[irreprochable]

Then we work together.
