-----Phase 6-----
BACKSTAGE
Whilst the noise and drama of the stage and audience bleeds through, a pair of heavy curtains walls you off, leaving your movements unseen. All sorts of mechanical devices are here, ropes and pulleys leading up to the rafters and under the stage, controlling flight and trapdoors and various clever tricks. The wooden floor creaks and groans under your feet, pressed down by the weight of many litres of blood, and there's no actual end to it? The backstage goes on forever, the feeling of an eternal cupboard suffocating you in darkness. Best to stick to the light near the curtain.
The sprinkler system is pouring, water mixing with the tidal wave of blood that has consumed the area.
Scattered all across the floor, floating on the blood, are various props and parts of costumes, most notably many different masks! Tragedy and comedy are the main theme, some frowning, some smiling, some split down the middle, but there are plenty displaying every possible emotion too. There are some peculiar half-face masks in red and white, giving off a faint magical energy.
Frames and panels, the building blocks of the set, are strewn around, too. Each panel displays a different painted mural of sorts, setting a scene - a countryside, a cityscape, an alien planet. For some unknown reason, there's a car here too! It seems to be... Every famous movie car in existence? It's simultaneously Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the DeLorean, and the Batmobile!
You can climb a ladder up to the RAFTERS, take a door leading to the DRESSING ROOM, or slip past the curtain to the STAGE! You can also slip into the AUDIENCE.
