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! ))

[Really really

So you wanna keep flipping through that or do you need to sub out again]

[allicareabout]

[You know what, he's here, might as well keep going. Lu, for the sake of simplicity, you can just give me one/a couple that would be amusing for you to write, if you want. o/ I WILL BE KIND.]

[The names continue alphabetically. Most of them are ones you've seen before: Belle, Blind Mag, Cinderella's Prince, Draco Malfoy, Emily, Dr. Frank N. Furter, Jafar -

The page after Jafar has been burned away. Only fragments of it near the inner edge remain.]

[allicareabout]

[...Because of course it has. Good to know we're saving J.I. for the end.

Interesting that it's been burned, though. Huh.

Is there anything else of note in here or around the body?]

[stagemanagers]

[Well, some of the charred fragments of that one page are still a little legible.]

[allicareabout]

[...Excellent.

What's legible, then?]

[allicareabout]

[Oh, that's cute. Duly noted, though.

Anything else of note?]

[stagemanagers]

[One of the later names might sound more familiar than others, given recent events:

Squeaky Fromme]

[allicareabout]

[...Fromme. That's that name that was on the big painting...thing, wasn't it? Definitely something to keep in mind, anyway.

Are any of the other names familiar like that?]

[stagemanagers]

[Squeaky Fromme
The Devotee

Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme - Female, 25 - 30

Attempted to assassinate President Gerald Ford at the Capitol Park in Sacramento, CA on September 5, 1975. A pixie hippie in love with Charles Manson.

Vocal Range: Soprano

None of the names after her are particularly familiar. They all do fit the same odd pattern, though: The Dayman, The Music Meister, The Nightman, The Onceler, The Witch.]

[allicareabout]

[...The...people without actual names, apparently...

Another thing, while he's thinking about it - any other handwritten notes on any of the pages?]

[stagemanagers]

[Not too many. Blind Mag's page just reads CHEAT, and The Nightman's page reads Too obvious. Easy trial. Don't do that again.]

[allicareabout]

[...Got it. Makes you wonder what the hell Blind Mag did...

Anything else he's overlooking?]

[stagemanagers]

[Nope! You may now safely retreat from the hell trunk.]
