It's Curtains Act 2 Test Drive
1) CURTAINS UP
You’ve just woken up in a small dressing room, which is certainly not where you went to bed last night. Actually, do you even remember going to sleep…? Regardless, this isn't where you last were, and if you leave your room you’re going to find a lot of other people in the same state.Go out and socialize! Most of these people may be strangers, but you’re gonna all have to get used to one another. And who knows? There may actually be a familiar face in the crowd.
2) THIS PETTY PACE
By now, you're acquainted with everybody here and you're slowly growing bored. Bored enough to kill? Hopefully not. You'd better try to find something else to do. You can always go hang out with your castmates, or maybe try and whip something up in the kitchen! There’s also a music room to keep you busy! I sure hope you like music.3) BREAK A LEG
Comedies are fun and all, but that’s not quite what we’re about here. You’ve all just been handed this week’s motive. What do you make of it? Is it one that might actually tempt you to kill, or did you get off lightly this time? Either way, maybe you’d better look around the room and see who else is having a rough time.4) CURTAIN
It was bound to happen eventually. Someone is dead, and now it's time to go off and investigate. Were they close to you? Are you, perhaps, feeling guilty? Either way, it's probably best not to leave anyone alone right now.5) CUE MUSIC
Feelings in a murder-opera can get pretty gosh darn intense. Sometimes you’ve just got to let it out. And hey, if you sing a song about whatever’s going on in your head, maybe someone will hear and come help you? Either way, this is a musical – there’s not really any reason not to sing. [Mod Note: The song mechanic is meant to be fluid and simple. You do not have to produce your own song lyrics, nor are you required to use show tunes (although we do encourage it!). If you want to rewrite existing lyrics to fit the situation, go for it! Anything goes - if Mumford and Sons expresses your character’s current emotions, then break out the banjos. We want to keep the musical mechanic as fun and simple as we can to encourage our players to use it as much as they like.]

This Petty Place
[Lydia, did you actually mean to snap a photo of the Radio? If not, too bad, that's who you're dealing with now.]
That kind of thing can blind a man, I've seen it happen! It was on an expedition to the arctic with Teddy Roosevelt, one of our Sherpas caught a camera flash full in the face and pow, lights out. Poor little lemming of a man wandered straight off an ice-flow, we never saw him again.
HEY PHASMA

[Actually talking to human people still feels strange and wrong, but these are strange times.]
[Also he needs an audience for his completely legitimate and true and stories of historical adventure.]
Now, the wake, that was a raucous affair that lasted a full three days on the tundra. People still speak of it in awed whispers to this very day.

Second only to funerals.
[Lydia knows that she probably tone down the morbid jokes or she'll get the brunt of the suspicion when the next trial comes around, but she can't resist.]

And isn't a little morbidity a little called for, considering where we are? Somebody is bound to turn up dead sooner or later.
[Lydida spins around listlessly, holding her arms up and gesturing at her general surroundings.]
