The plans have been set;
Now likewise the net.
And Erland will play as the

::Decides to sit down, if there's a chair in the theatre. What's this then..::

[pureplainpatron]

::I assume you mean in the audience, in which case Shiroko will walk around the curtain to the front of the stage and find... there's no audience. Instead, there's a curved sheet of glass just past the orchestra pit. It's foggy to look through, but it looks like a giant comfy rocking chair against a wall, lit as if by a TV.::

Why would someone put a rocking chair and a mirror in a theater...?

[pureplainpatron]

::When I say 'giant', I mean 'the pane of glass that goes to the ceiling doesn't even reach the seat'.::

::Regardless, as Shiroko wanders onto the stage, a tune of sorts, likely in G-minor, begins to play from the pit, despite there being no one there.::

... ::Gets on her knees and sticks her head over the stage to see your non-existent orchestra.::

[pureplainpatron]

::There are stands and seats for the various musicians, but no one to be found. Not even speakers.::

::However, you now hear shuffling about behind the curtain.::

[whitrthanwhite]

::Turns her head to try and look backwards.::

[pureplainpatron]

::Two spotlights shine on the curtain, one on the edge and one towards the center as the curtain starts to shine. There's a sense that Shiroko should move over to the edge, and grab 'his' hand, though there's no one actually standing there.::

::Alternately, you could reject this compulsion and dive into the pit, or perhaps to the side near where the audience should be.::

[whitrthanwhite]

::ABORT ABORT ABORT. Dive into the pit!::

[pureplainpatron]

::Shiroko dives into the pit, but realize after a moment that she didn't hit bottom. The opening of the pit seems to fall away as Shiroko free-falls through starry darkness.::

::After what seems like ages, Shiroko tumbles out of a doorway... back into the theater... with the light still waiting.::

[whitrthanwhite]

::Oof.:: What the...

::Leaps out to where the audience should be!::

[pureplainpatron]

::She'd have to pass the curtain first, where the light is shining... is she sure she wants to do that?::

[whitrthanwhite]

::No. She is not. She is avoiding the light, for she is a creature of darkness.::

[pureplainpatron]

::Very well, there are several rooms to the side, likely either dressing or storage.::

::There's also a rack with various dresses on it, of a classical gothic flair. Also some other stuff, but it's a theater, you'd expect that.::

[whitrthanwhite]

...

::Goes to the clothes so fast, you don't even.::

[pureplainpatron]

::The dresses are mostly of an aristocratic style, flashy and delicate, though there are a few of a more common, simple style, possibly for servants.::

::And of course, towards the end, separated from the dresses, seem to be outfits for ruffians and thieves, complete with 'authentic' dirt.::
