[OOM: On stage in the Ankh-Morpork Opera House, the two Ghosts face off... Most dialogue taken directly from Maskerade by Terry Pratchett.]

The door flies open.

There should, it seems, be a crash of thunder lit by a flare of lightning sillhouetting a dark cloaked figure in the doorway... But there isn't.

The figure is dark and cloaked, however,

Antigone has finished her ice cream by now, and is frowning down thoughtfully at a notebook.

Her eyes widen in alarm as the figure bursts through the door nearly in front of her, and she can't help but think that the face is familiar--

[fiendsoncue]

Salzella, caughts off guard, staggers melodramatically, sword still caught under his arm, until he sees her face, and hate burns even through the automatic affronted glare.

"...Oh. You!"

[buriedmybrother]

The look in his eyes hits her like a slap.

Leaving the notebook where it lies, Antigone scrambles to her feet, keeping the chair between them.

"What do you want?"

[fiendsoncue]

"I can never get away, it seems!" he glares, advancing in a fury. "I die and no, it's another twist in the great and stupid operatic plot of life!! I will not accept it! There are always people like you in this place!!!!"

Roshaun eyes him dubiously.

"Are you quite all right?"

[scourgeofpiracy]

Norrington glances up at the disturbance, frowning, and drifts closer.

Just in case.

Some have said that there is very little difference between the operatic and the cinematic. So, really, what better to be catching this magic of Opera than a certain filmmaker. As if waiting for some sort of cue or direction, Mark is standing to the side, camera rolling silently.

Sharpe's there, badge pinned on and visible.

Because it looks like this could turn violent.

Agnes sees the security badge and rushes over.

"Please, you have to stop them! Walter only knows stage fighting! He's going to get hurt!"

[and_far_away]

Sharpe looks at her, then back at the duellers.

"Looks like he's holding his own well enough to me, miss. But you're right, this isn't the place for it."

He starts towards them to break up the fight. And then Meg gets grabbed, and he's moving.

[witchoftwominds]

Agnes is right beside him, trying to get around to Salzella's other side.

"Be careful," she hisses to Sharpe as she passes. "He's crazy!"
