~*.::Introduction::.*~

The year does not matter and the world is full of life and love no matter the time though sometime you may have to look for it. But one love seems to stand out above the rest and that love is Theater. But as time goes on, humans seem to bring on the dark arts and conjure things onto this world that shouldn't be here. Demons now roam this world alongside humans. One made a grand theater and opera house in which, once you join you could never leave. The theater only came during the night and on the full moon they would perform. After each performance the theater would mysteriously change location. Only during the New Moon until the First Quarter [7 nights] could the crew leave the building to enjoy the sights If you joined this theater you'd never age, and the only way out of this place is death....

Who set this spell and who's really calling the shots here? Well the rest of the story is up to you.

~*.::Setting::.*~

This is the famous Opera and theater building known for its glorious stage and wonderful performances within.The exterior changes to suit its surrounding but the interior is always the same, with a catch. Inside this building there seems to be many secret passages and hidden rooms. Some of these passages disappears after the theater moves, and some new ones appear. One thing internal stays the same, in a way. Each room is from a different period, the stage matches the exterior to suit location and the crews bedroom never vanish between locations... usually.
Current Location: Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Moon Phase: New Moon - Free Roam [chart]
Next Performance: The Singing Bone

~*.::So Far in the RP::.*~

• The play has ended and some of the crowd leaves while some stragglers stay behind to talk about the performance. • The theater is currently changing locations. Kasper and Noel are stuck in Noels room until the building settles into its new location. ◘ The theater is in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Its a New Moon so everyone is able to go in and out of the theater freely.

"Bene Commedia! Bene Commedia!"
"Bene commedia..." Bala said to herself as the curtains came to a close.

Her shows were always good shows, and always will for as long as she could help it. The moment the second set of curtains closed her magic stopped the illusion of the dazzling set and all that remained on stage was the bowing actors, letting the applause ring through their ears. With a deep sigh the 'dummy' actors vanished leaving only a handful of actual beings on stage. They had just finished an adaptation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Though it could have certainly been better but with what little she had to work with it would do. Though using magic to fill the gaps felt like... cheating the actual magic theater was supposed to create on its own.

Bala could hear the footsteps most of the actors leaving their places on the stage to return to the back of the house to change. "Ma'am?" Bala turned around to see that it was Maya, her assistant, who normally did get dragged into the plays herself. "Thank you Maya for filling in for the Alice part. I can only do so much with my magic anymore. Making that... cat disappear and reappear was difficult enough, I feel bad for having to cut parts of the play out." With a smile she continued. "What would I ever do without you by my side?" "Oh I'm sure you would have found someone else. Shall I try and recruit some to aid us?"

"That shouldn't be necessary beyond maybe one tonight. Before dawn preferably. I feel that we are going to the States tomorrow." She turned to look at her aide. "I must say, blue is certainly not your color Maya." The statement had caused a strange expression to appear on her assistant, whom was removing the blond wig. "Do you really think so? I thought maybe if the dress was more of a navy blue that it would have..." "The kings daughter..." Maya looked puzzled and slightly irritated for being cut off. "I need you to play the kings daughter in the next show." Bala was distracted. She didn't need Maya to play in the next show, but she could... feel something in the thinning crowd. But what.

After managing to get a few shots of the play Jazz was about to put the camera away when a kid
came up to her. "May I see that camera of yours miss. I'm afraid no recording
devices are allowed in the building." She just stared at the kid for a moment, trying to
organize her confused thought. 'Do they work here? Or just trying to steal my camera?'

"Miss, I insist you co-operate with me." "Look here... BUB! I'm
not just going to hand over my camera to anybody. Why didn't you ask for it before I came in, why
wait until after the show was over?! So no, you may not 'see' my camera." 'Well maybe that
was an over-reaction... but I paid good money for this.' The kid looked at her like she was a
moron and walked off to go backstage without saying another word. "What was that all about...?"

"And whom shall be the brothers?" Kasper stepped out from in front of the curtains removing his crown. The fact she choose Alice in Wonderland was interesting enough but did she really have to make him play the King of Hearts? Really? Bala shot him a quick glance before ignoring him and continuing her spaced out conversation with Maya. He had to admit Bala has some spectacular tricks up her sleeves. She only had a handful of real actors compared to the vast cast required for Wonderland, especially with only a small portion being human-like in appearance. Not too real and not too fake animals had to be an interesting challenge to not scare off the audience.

Speaking of the audience... he did see a few pretty faces in the crowd, perhaps a few stayed behind. He would follow them out if it didn't scare him to pieces. If even Aoide can't talk about what happens when someone leaves during a non-New Moon phase it must be pretty bad. That didn't mean he couldn't... spark up a conversation in a lady while they were still here.

Kasper peeled off his costume as quickly as he could and darted off towards the seats when all of a sudden a short figure was in his was. He quickly removed the surprise off his face and mentally corrected himself... shorter figure. It was only Brunhild. "What are you looking at short stuff?" Adrick simply looked at him without a change in expression, maybe he was just getting used to the name calling? Or maybe he just needed to change up his routine. "Since you seem in such a rush to grope some random woman out there, could you do me a favor before you carry-on to do your... thang that you always do?"

This was new, Brunhild rarely asked favors, seemed to always think it hurt reputation or something. "What on earth could you of all people need help with? With that face you could get whatever you want." Still no change in Adrick's face, now it was getting a little unnerving. "My face is exactly what the problem is. My age seems to be a problem for certain attendees tonight. One of which won't hand over a camera with our faces plastered all over its negatives" He pointed to a blond that was starting for the exit. With a smirk he replied, "Yea... I'll definitely take care of that for you."

》》》The red head sat in her gaudy large dress in one of the audience seats. She was pretty consumed by shadows. With that as a fact hardly anybody ever saw her, whenever she sat in the audience there was at least 2 seats empty in every direction of the center seat. Most people did not enjoy sitting in utter darkness, and that what she liked, utter darkness. With a grin to herself she looked over at the men talking and rolled her eyes a bit. Her eyes quickly darted to the blonde they were talking about, everyone's faces, but hers. She smirked to herself, she loved how she found her way out of any production that was put on. Only a few people here in this theatre knew she even existed. Finally finding herself bored and wanting some contact with others she dispersed her shadows and headed toward the aisle so that she could make her way to the crowd.

A few people stopped to stare at her, some wondering where the hell she came from and others in complete awe of her appearance. Tucking a few stray strands of bright red hair behind her ear she moved past the two talking and towards the stage. It was a wonder she could easily get by people in her dress without even touching them. "Such a bore after a performance." She sighed, her voice thick, smooth and filled with mystery. Even her movements had an inhuman grace to it.

A shadow passed by, only noticeable through Kasper's peripheral vision. And then the voice like silky smooth leather that sent chills down his spine. Which was pretty impressive in itself. Its rare to come by a woman that could do that to him, let alone with just a voice. He was so wrapped around the sound he completely missed whatever she had said. Perhaps jail-bait blond could wait.

he turned towards her completely ignoring Adrick trying to retrieve his attention back over to the blond. This woman's beauty was as magical as her voice. "Why hello ma'am, I don't believe I've seen you around. Were you a spectator? Spectators don't go back stage. Unless of course.." He took a bow and laced his next words with his charm. "You would like to be shown around?"

》》》Noel turned to the voice. Where did she hear it again? Oh yes, one of the men talking about the blonde haired girl. With a devious smile she looked to the man, "I'm sure I know my own way around here by now." She spoke smoothly still. Glancing towards the stage, "So, you're the King of Hearts?" She turned back to the man. Was that a charm he was trying on her? She felt something pricking at her constant defenses, shrugging it off she let her red hair fall from its partial bun and fall down her back to her backside. "But, I would not mind to take a little 'tour' of the theater with you." She had a sparkle in her eye that hinted at her being a devious creature. She didn't really care much about who he played or did not play in the production, he was a man, she was a woman. And very rarely did Noel come out of her shadows.

"Are you even listening to me anymore?" Nope. As Adrick stated, he was about to do his 'thang' he always does. Kasper straightened his posture and with a mischievous smile growing on his face and a daring spark in his eye he replied to the woman, "Well now then my lady. Perhaps the fair maiden should be the one to give the tour to the King of Hearts?" With a quick wink he quickly glanced back towards the thinning crowd. The blond girl was still there, perhaps if he made this quick he could still deal with her.

Oh what perks this cursed place could give you! he looked back at the woman before him. "Shall we be off... Miss?"

》》》Noel smirked a little at the man's attempt at flirting with her. Well he was pleasant to look at. "Noel." She moved her head in a slight nod as if in a small greeting bow. Turning her back to the man she began to walk down towards the stage, taking a left towards the backstage entrance, pausing there to look back at the man. Her devious gint in her eye was still there as she waited at the doorway for him. 'What am I doing?' she thought to herself and shook her head with a soft smirk that crossed her fine lips. She was going to let this man take her through the labrynth of this theater and see where it got her.

Bala glanced over at the two flirting with each other and how it reminded her of when she once could feel that way with her other. Those days seem to be gone now, most hope is lost. "...recruiting more people. I'm not sure if it would be dangerous but... Ma'am? Are you listening? Bala's eyes blinked rapidly in a flutter as if she just broke out of a trance. "I suppose not, I apologize. When we relocate we can try to recruit but I don't believe we'll need the help come this next performance. I deliberately chose a role with a small cast list." She broke her sights of the two flirts and looked back to Maya's worried face, whom was looking back out to the nearly empty theatre.

"You have to admit the curse weighs on you after a while, no matter how strong willed you may be. So many wish they could act forever but when they do; lose sight of themselves and become unstable to the point of suicide or have a lapse of judgement and try to leave. It's very depressing. Oh how I wish I could stretch out my small wings again and just fly." Placing a hand on Maya's shoulder Bala knew where the conversation was going, and it wasn't heading anywhere safe. "Maya, take a break for a few days. I'll handle your duties for a while. Mingle while you still can. Perhaps take care of that problem Adrick brought up, the girl with the camera. You know our policy, be kind about it." Maya nodded and walked down the steps to the viewing floor where all the seats were. "Adrick, please accompany me to Maya's office."

"Yes Mrs. Bastet."

'Better leave before the try for my camera again.' Jazz made it a few steps before the dread settled
in. "Excuse me miss, may I have a moment of your time?" With a sigh of disappointment she
turned back around to face Alice, or rather the actress who played Alice. "How may I help you?"

"Well I was wondering how many pictures you took. I believe I never saw the camera out of your
hands." Jazz slacked her shoulders in irritation. 'These people just don't give up!' "I took several
don't worry they won't be published anywhere, its just for school." The actress looked puzzled for a
moment, as if she didn't know what they were talking about then suddenly looked alert.

"Ah! I see! A photography portfolio? May I ask you to discard all photos not used in your portfolio,
preferably a fire would be good. It would be a win-win you see, you expand your portfolio and make
a good grade and we don't get in trouble with companies about copyright infringement.
Understand?"

"Thats all this is about? Wow, over reaction much?" The actress looked like she almost blew a
fuse, almost. It only lasted a moment. "It is very costly just to get temporary rights to perform
the story, we couldn't possibly fathom what it would be to hit the papers." Jazz looked at her
with confusion, 'These people are officially nut jobs.' "Don't worry, it won't hit newspapers. When
is your next performance? A few months?" The actress instantly had a huge grin on her face.


"No, just a month. Though don't expect to find us here, we travel around. We plan on going to
the United States soon. Maybe we will bump into you. Though you should leave now since the
performance is over." Jazz got the blunt hint, don't go looking for them, you won't find them.
She had a plane to catch anyway for back home. What were the chances they would be there
anyway. They don't seem to be able to afford to keep up with one place with how few of actors
the have. Though it had a unnatural... pull to the air around here. Jazz nodded and dashed for
the door, clutching her camera close to her. She was the last visitor. She could hear the doors
come to a close behind her.
