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! ))

[ OK Hans is here, he'll have a look at the post it notes. What do they say? ]

[Draco -

CLEAN UP THE KITCHEN WHEN YOU'RE DONE

THERE AREN'T ANY SERVANTS HERE AND YOUR FATHER WILL DEFINITELY NOT HEAR OF THIS

AND DON'T TOUCH MY CLOTHES

...in other words, they're all angry roommate post-its.]

[ How..delightful.

Anything else in this area he could look for, or should Hans try and check the trash here too? ]

[stagemanagers]

[There is nothing else of particular note in this room.]

[trettende]

It looks like a few people shared this room and... left passive aggressive notes at each other.

Someone named Draco?

[pennyless]

"Draco?" I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that that's probably the owner of the black robes with green and silver snakes.

[Draco = dragon, dragon = reptile, etc etc.]

[sunshineprincess]

[OH HI LOOK WHO IS HERE. HAS BEEN THE WHOLE TIME.]

There was a picture of him!

[pennyless]

Oh-

[Shit, really?]

Do you still have those pictures with you?

[sunshineprincess]

Yeah! I brought them all with me.

[She hands them over]

I was hoping they'd be useful.

[Billy smiles sweetly at her and takes her hand with the one not currently holding the pictures, giving it a squeeze.

...The only reason he didn't give her a kiss was because Hans is right there and. Yeah. That would be both mean and awkward.]

...Yeah, that looks about like what I'd expect from some kid named "Draco."

[After a glance to see if the green pimp suits are anywhere in the photos (they're not), he hands the stack back to Anna to put back in her swag bag.]

We ready to go on to the next room?

[sunshineprincess]

[Anna returns the smile, waiting for Billy to go through the pictures.]

He doesn't look intimidating for someone who has a name like that. Kind of like... Someone who tries too hard!

[She nods ] Lead the way!

[pennyless]

[why is he the leader here]
