No Backward Glances

[stagemanagers]

Today is the day of the promised grand finale. And, strangely, nothing about the Opera seems especially different this morning. The theatre doors remain locked. There's no smell of blood in the air, no trashed rooms, and no dead bodies to find. In the lobbies, the crystal chandeliers are still in their places, not swung about by any mysterious force.

But there's little things. It may take a while to notice, but the lock on one of the doors in the second floor lobby - the one leading to Boxes 5 through 8 - is missing. Should anyone try it, it opens easily and without a sound.

Meanwhile, down on the first floor, the graffiti on the box office walls has once again been cleaned up. In the process, it seems, the box office door was left slightly ajar.



(( As a reminder, these are your teams. Group A gets the second floor, which will involve the area indicated in red, and Group B gets the first floor, with the areas in blue here and down the left to here. Good luck, everyone! ))

Oh, I don't know everything about it, but it was this huge ship that crashed into an iceburg and sank. A lot of people died when it happened.

I think it was its maiden voyage, too.

Lu I'm having him look at the book just for you

That's terrible - did the sailors not have any foresight on the waters they were traveling in?

[Though while you think on that let's flip through the book a little out of morbid curiosity]

cw: historical lego death

[That has to be at least two traumatic experiences for you, now echoed in Lego form.]

Eugh!!

[FUCKING FLIPPING A CHUNK OF PAGES TO SOMETHING ELSE, what does the random roulette get him?]

[stagemanagers]

[You don't know who this Lego man is, but you get the feeling he is an asshole.]

[dechagny]

[...Yeah, anybody grandstanding in a burning barn has to be an asshole. But at least nobody's toy guts are spilling out.

Out of curiosity, what's the text blurb on this page?]

[stagemanagers]

[Okay, you got me, there's actually two pictures to a page. Here is the first, and the second.]

[dechagny]

[This is definitely a bit more gruesome with context. How about we try flipping back to, like...towards the Kennedy section but not the brain leakage page?]

[stagemanagers]

[It looks like this section, like the others, begins with a full-page spread. A picture to the left, and text to the right.]

[...Eugh, okay, there's something a little unsettling here but he just can't put his finger on it. While he'll put the book down later, he'll be sure to bring both books to the trial just in case.]
