Greetings, friends, and welcome to act 2 of It's Curtains! We hope you're all as excited as we are!

The show will be starting soon (June 28th) with a mingle log but before the curtain goes up, let's get to know each other a little better...shall we?

You can use this post to introduce yourselves, exchange contact info, start plotting, the usual shenaniganry. Feel free to provide your contact information (plurk, discord, ect) and don't forget to follow the stagemanagers- it'll make things easier when your time comes. The discord is, of course, completely optional and any important information posted there will also be posted on the mod plurk.

Welcome to the game, everyone. Let's have fun!

hello all! my name is aspen (previously Asher). my murder game history consists of foolish mortals, airlocked and trustfell, but this will be my first time at Curtains. I'm excited to be here and chat with all of y'all. Feel free to add me on plurk, ashstriferous


I'll be coming in with Ariel, which is pretty much Kamelot's Faust expy in Epica/The Black Halo. There will probably be quite a few mentions of religion (but not too much because there's only so much *I* can stand), but if you need me to turn it down or not mention it at all in our threads, feel free to DM me

I'm excited to be here, to have my heart ripped out and to rip your hearts out in kind! :)

Hey, everyone! Lyndon here, formerly of Jezebel Mephistopholes from Saint's Row fame (as well as several appearances in various other murdergames), bringing you Shilo Wallace from Repo! The Genetic Opera! Like a surprising number of the other characters here she's 17 and unlike at least some of the other characters she comes from a nightmare dystopia future! She has a lot going on in her life, but she's a good kid who just wants to be a normal goth teen if only her overprotective dad and her dead mom's ex could just get it together!! As a note, uh... Repo! is kind of A Lot, so if you could all slide over to this post here and uh. At least familiarize yourself with the potential warnings she comes with??? And lmk if you want to avoid any of them, since luckily she's one of the few characters in the film who can.

I'm in the discord, but if you need to reach me outside of there I'm also on plurk at lovebelievesin! Come say hi, I'm really excited for musical murder with y'all!!!

[justmeheere]

henlo!!!! i'm r and this is jeremy heere from be more chill. it's a very normal musical about very normal teens who definitely don't have supercomputers called squips in their brains. promise. you know i am 100% trustworthy, i say as if i am not a person who many of you played with in airlocked or other murdergames where i have done some things. anyway!! jeremy is in room #6 and freaking out is his okay so. you know. he's fine. it's fine. everything's fine.

you can contact me on plurk or discord: flyingthesky#0332. i'm very excited for all of us to go on this journey together which will definitely not leave me emotionally compromised.

Hello! I'm Nara and I'm bringing in Angus McFife XIII from the Gloryhammer concept albums! He's the protagonist of the two most recent albums, Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards and Legends from Beyond the Galactic Terrorvortex which should tell you everything about the tone of the story. Angus is the crown prince of the intergalactic kingdom of Fife and is charged with defeating an evil wizard who refuses to die and wants to blow up everything/rule the universe (whichever works). He goes on quests, has allies who help him out, and everything is super dramatic.

Also, the story centers on Actual Scotland. The names and geography are 1:1 to our real and non-magical version. Hope you like learning about obscure towns names.

Feel free to add me on plurk a mutanthairything! I'm so excited to play against all of these characters!

[isawallflower]

Welcome everyone~~!! I'm Ashley, and this is Riley Williams from We Are The Tigers, and I am so excited to share this all with you. :>

I played here in round 1 with a murder lesbian from a defunct Vocaloid concept album. This time, I'm playing from a fun new musical about cheerleaders and the pressures of being a teenage girl and maybe a little bit about some murder. It's fine! Everything's fine. Riley here is the captain of her cheerleader team, the Giles Cory High Tigers. It's her senior year and it's her job to lead the squad after an, uh...embarrassing disaster last year. She's enthusiastic and dedicated to everything about being a cheerleader. She's going to bring some positivity to the Opera House, damn it! She'll be doing that in room #3.

If you need to reach me, you can contact me at kabunevermind or on the discord. Looking forward to all of us crying!

EDIT: OH also Riley's canon deals with addiction (both alcohol and drug-related), so that may come up in threads. She herself does not have those problems, but she might bring it up when talking about her team!

Hello everyone! My name is Sabra. I've been in and out of the DWRP scene for...uh...about 8 years I think? I've only been in one other murder game (Sora, in Disney Ronpa), but I am WELL aquainted with the genre because of the gremlins I live with (Lynny and Ri). I'm not active at all on plurk, so it'd be best if you hit me up on here or on discord at sabrasaber#9649.

I'll be playing Sigyn from the steampunk Norse mythology in space concept album The Bifrost Incident by The Mechanisms RIP. She's the leader of a rebellion working to free the Yggdrasil system from the tyrannical rule of Asgard. She's in room 10, come on in, say hi, get some cookies and lesson in self defense.

[reassuranceandrevolution]

Hi Ashley! I really enjoyed our test drive thread! Can't wait for some good good not sad at all CR!

[madgiganticfeelings]

JEREMY BEARIMY HELLO CHRISTINE'S FAVORITE NEW FRIEND... or old friend? Memory loss is crazy, right?

So what canon points are you taking Jeremy from? C: and will these two even last without someone (probably Jeremy) doing something stupid?

[madgiganticfeelings]

Hello teen! Christine is not as gothic as you, but she would love to be friends!!!! And maybe, if she lasts long enough to get her memories back, talk dystopian futures she was lucky enough to avoid.

[reassuranceandrevolution]

Hi Nara! I am so interested in this canon and that gif just sells it more. Our test drive thread was great fun! I can't wait for these two to meet.

[madgiganticfeelings]

Bringing positivity! Christine can bring positivity! Please teach her some cheers she'll be so into it.

[mcfife]

Hi Sabra!! I've listened to a bit of The Mechanisms so it's kind of funny how different in tone their canons are (not that Gloryhammer never does a serious scene). Hopefully these two can bond over dealing with power hungry villains despite coming at it from different directions.

Though now I wonder if Fantasy!Scandinavia would have the same gods and if he'd even recognize her name...

[mcfife]

Hi Asher!! I'm really excited to play with Ariel ever since I saw the reserve. Hopefully he'll be okay?

[revelfree]

it's me we're talking about so probably not >:3c

[reassuranceandrevolution]

Yes! Down with power hungry tyrants!

It would be VERY interesting for him to recognize her name! I'm so down to play that out.

[mcfife]

I'm tempted to say that Gloryhammer!Scandinavia might have them be names of historic royalty? Gods exist in Gloryhammer but they're not typical folkloric ones so an Actual Odin would make things complicated.

[mcfife]

Wow, good thing you don't have a dangerous computer in your brain! That would be scary.

I can't wait to see what you'll get up to this time R.

[reassuranceandrevolution]

I love that idea. Please, Angus, talk to her about Odin. It'll go great.

WHAT’S GOOD FOLKS it’s Lynsey, who some of you may have played with in other games run by our fair mod team. This is my first time in Curtains though and I am playing Nana Daiba from Revue Starlight, a multi media project that spans musical stage shows, live “in character” concerts, a 12 episode anime, manga adaptations, and (of course) a gacha game for mobile. Unlike most of the other “idol adjacent” multi media projects though, Revue Starlight also has a lot of stuff like sword fighting thrown in and the stakes are more dire. (Also gayer?? Somehow??) I’m playing Nana from the anime specifically, where the girls of Seisho Music Academy’s 99th class sing and do battle to become the Top Star. A giraffe is involved. For reasons.

Nana herself (called Banana by everyone else) is the kind and gentle de-facto mom friend of the class. She cooks and bakes for everyone all the time and is always there to help out. She is an absolute sweetheart and takes care of everyone around her, but there may be more to her than meets the eye! I picked her up after hmming and hawing over it for a long time just for this game so she’s still very new to me and I am super nervous! But I hope you all enjoy playing with her!

She’s in room 9 and her title is The Encore. Feel free to add me at beastiiil or chat me up in the discord once I get my butt on over there. Looking forward to playing with everyone!

[garbageface]

hey what's up my name is floral and i'm bringing you the baddest bitch alive



aka santana from glee! her title is "the cheerio" and she's in room 17. for those of you who never watched glee or might need a refresher, santana is a snarky cheerleader who loves fame, has a habit of dissing people, and is in the process of coming out as an extremely fierce lesbian.

you can find me in the game discord or on plurk @ moonlanding! looking forward to playing with you all!!

[isawallflower]

I really liked it too!! I’m excited to see what CR proper is going to look like, hehehe. It’ll be great!

[isawallflower]

She’s always for teaching girls some new cheers!! Honestly r and I have been joking that Jeremy and Riley are going to get along great, because she’s short, perky, and hyperfocusing on her hobby. So, like, exactly like Christine.

[isawallflower]

So many concept albums!!! I’m looking forward to CR, as I know positively nothing about Kamelot.

[isawallflower]

Something something what’re you doing here joke

Can’t wait to be horrified about a dystopia!!!

[isawallflower]

surely there aren’t any supercomputers!!! definitely not!!!
