week 1

[stagemanagers]

[Well, all escape attempts have failed thus far. None of you have seen the Phantom since his brief appearance on Sunday, or heard from him at all. It looks like, for the time being, you’re all going to be stuck here.

You're free to continue exploring your surroundings to your hearts' content. The only real restriction on your movements is that the kitchen is closed between the hours of 10 pm and 7 am. Better make sure to grab any midnight snacks you may want ahead of time. Also, remember to label any investigation toplevels!

The Merchandise Booth is now open for business as well! The Phantom hasn't deigned to explain how it works, but...well, some of you will start to find mysterious coins in your rooms, and the Booth's got a place to put coins. You'll figure it out.

Should you wish to engage more with your host, you're welcome to drop letters in the box office slot. There's no set way to converse verbally with him, and he's certainly not guaranteed to respond if you just yell at the walls - but that doesn't necessarily mean he isn't listening. Just something to keep in mind.

Enjoy your first week, everyone.]

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday

(( OOC: This will be the last mod post for this week! Feel free to start submitting regains for any threads that aren't with the Phantom. Remember, song threads mean an extra coin! This is a peace week, so get all that CR while you can! ))

...Then, appearing to his kinder side would be a better course of action. [That was how he stopped his murder in the story, right?] Or would that be incorrect according to the legend?

[musacal]

...I don’t know.

You have it right; in the story that’s what works, and I would like to think that it might work here too but... I know it’d be naive to think it could be that easy.

[mcfife]

[His shoulders relax with a silent, internal sigh.]

No. You're right. It could be only due to luck that the Phantom of the original story became good. This one might not be the same.

...We come from different universes, after all.

[musacal]

Yes... that's also true.

[ Also he could very well be a giraffe still! We just don't know! ]

But still, it's a good thing to keep in mind. It's the most information we have to go on right now.

[mcfife]

Did he have any magical powers? Are there any weaknesses apart from his version of Christine that can be exploited?

[To defeat the enemy, he must understand what the enemy can do.]

[musacal]

Hmm, well...

In most versions he has a "magical lasso"? I believe it's just a noose. The warning they usually give for that is "keep your hand at the level of your eye" so he can't strangle you with it.

[ She imitates the gesture so Angus can see what she means. ]

[mcfife]

That makes him all the more dangerous! [Magic rope for killing people!] So are people supposed to walk like this all of the time?

[musacal]

Mmm, I don't know about all the time, that seems a little excessive... maybe just when they think the Phantom is near?

[mcfife]

Or when they are alone...

[He looks up at the ceiling. No one spying on them...at least no one he can see.]

Keep yourself safe. He may be up to his old tricks.
