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! ))

Exactly! You get it. I'm sure that...

[He frowns, his energy flagging.]

Well, that someone's looking for me.

[Anne smiles wearily, and opts to give him a tiny pat on the arm.]

Of course. It's not every day a royal goes missing after all. That's a scandal, right there. Imagine--

A kingdom, with a missing leader! Anxiety, suspense, drama-- That's a story just begging to be told.

[superbeliever]

[He gives her a glance, and then an almost vulnerable smile at the tiny comforting gesture.]

You sound like you're more used to royalty than some of the others I've met here. What did you say your name was again?

[likemypicture]

Anna of Cleves. [She tips into another curtsy, though this one is somewhat more of a grandiose gesture]

I was wife to King Henry VIII of England, for half a year's time-- before our marriage was annulled. Now I'm The King's Beloved Sister. I'm now touring with his other five wives-- so you could say I'm very comfortable with royalty. You'll have to forgive me! My manners have left me since my absence from court.

[superbeliever]

[His eyebrows go up, both at the sheer number of wives and at meeting another royal.]

Well, I don't know who this Henry fellow is, but he sounds like a real player. [He grins at his own joke.]

Anyway it's good to see you, cous! Can I call you cous? I mean, you know how it goes technically there's a chance we might be related...

[likemypicture]

He was a player! [She laughs.... though feels a tiny little tug at her heart. Henry was never a player with her :( — but she stays bright!]

Oh! Ja! I do know what you mean— please, let me call you the same, cous!

[superbeliever]

[One day he'll make her feel better by telling her about his wife.]

Uh, duh! Of course you can!

Oh, you can't imagine how nice it is to have somebody else who gets it. AND you don't want to lock me up or kill me, so that's a big plus, too.
