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.]

Oh, not just acrobatics! It's our very spirit, our nature. We...
We are the soul of the school,
The pride of the name,
The heart and the flame.
Our words are pure inspiration,
Years of creation,
Changing the nation!
We'll give you something to hold on to,
When you think your time is up.
We'll give you just the song you want to
Hear when you're out of luck.
[ And she's going through a slow routine while singing, reverently. She's filled with so much pride it's palpable. ]
We're to be role models, giving back to everyone else. We perform for anyone, everyone who happens to be there to see us.

[Even though he’s trapped in this theater in and unknown dimension, watching Riley show off her skills makes him inspired to keep thinking of ways to escape! Even if there is no wizardry involved, her performance has power.]
Imagine if I were doing that while leading an army! Of course, I wouldn’t be dressed for battle, but it would have been a sight to see.

That was really nothing. You should see what the whole squad can do. There are some amazing stunts we've practiced--! ...They...we are kind of...rough, around the edges, but there's a lot of talent and potential in there!
