-----Phase 2----- 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, 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. Scattered all across the floor 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. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/825715272907358221/951096562669482044/wp-content-2.jpg

Robbie rotten takes out what looks like a somewhat aged scroll.
He then, suddenly, dons a fancy suit and top hat!
He gets to writing on the scroll, but suddenly, the top hat falls over his eyes!
...For some reason he continues writing, despite clearly not being able to see.
After a moment or two, he proudly shows it off to Bobby and Tobby Rotten!
It reads "The Proclamation of eme a!gfltibvse hWitl osiyleoi i tlanhrabR e t"
...hey wait, where's Flobby?
IN NO-FACE'S MOUTH!
NO FACE HAS SWALLOWED FLOBBY ROTTEN.
Nagisa somehow misses all of these events, instead inspecting the masks.
She finds one she likes, and decides to take one with her!
By the time she turns around, No-Face has spit Flobby out.

Orion kneels down, and tries to pray to someone, or something...
It doesn't seem like he gets a response.
The Phanto Mask flies high into the air, staying away from the fire!
Solus doesn't seem bothered about the fire, though. He heads to the box of masks and pulls out a specific one.
Spark, meanwhile, sticks his head through the curtains...
Whatever he did on stage seems to have some sort of effect!
The sprinkler system has kicked in, and is putting out the fire!

-----Phase 4----- 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, 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, protecting you from the fire! Scattered all across the floor 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. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/825715272907358221/951096562669482044/wp-content-2.jpg

-----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. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/825715272907358221/951096562669482044/wp-content-2.jpg

Wow...that must have been really hard to keep up. I'd say that gives you some knowledge about acting. I don't know that I'd be able to pretend to be someone I wasn't for even close to three years! I feel like I'd give myself away in no time...

Captain Kuro of a Hundred Plans BOT 24-Mar-22 05:16 AM
It was quite difficult! I took pride in how well I did my work. In essence, I had to sculpt an entire personality from nothing, and let none see its cracks or faults. It grew to be torturous as the years went on, but my secret bliss early on was knowing how thoroughly I had convinced everyone.
If I were to have advice for you for acting, if you would wish to follow in my footsteps... I would say "account for every possibility". Spend time considering what all could go wrong. Create checklists, have failsafes ready, make sure to have extras on hand of anything you might run out of. Make sure everything is well and truly under your control.
That is the way of a Hundred Plans, you could say.

My journey has been starting at the audience, going to the stage, then to the rafters, then backstage, then back to the stage, staying there for a phase, and then coming here. With the caveat that I can still get back to the stage currently.
You've actually been to quite a few places and times I know nothing about, which I suppose makes sense, given that we haven't met before. I wouldn't want to be a bother if it's too much to ask, but I would be curious who was hanging around most steps of your travel. If there might be something I could tell you in return, to make it more fair, let me know.

It's okay. Hmm...maybe it would be easier to sketch out a list of who I saw where.
...
All done!
I don't think there's any information I'm looking for... And you don't have to give me anything in return anyway!
I guess there's one thing I'd like to ask, though, if it's no trouble...
I mentioned before that I'd like to learn from you about acting. Are there any acting-related abilities that you have? If you wouldn't mind giving permission for me to do so...I could learn from you to be able to develop that ability myself.

So, in terms of talents I can teach you, there is only one. The others are tied to my role as a prop designer or my Claws. And, I'll be busy for my action, probably, but it'll be broadcast, if all goes to plan. Meaning that if you pay close attention to what I do, maybe you can pick up on my lesson.

Pinned a message.
-----Phase 8----- 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. But... A light in the darkness opens to... Outside? 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. 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. If you really wanted to, you could head towards the light, into the MAZE. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/825715272907358221/951096562669482044/wp-content-2.jpg

Spark stands around Orion and the mask.
Phanto Mask gives Orion a fancy looking drum machine they found!
Orion takes it, but seems more focused on something else.
Abraham gets to work, vigorously writing down a constitution.
“I swear, upon my existence as Zepia Eltnam Oberon, the avatar of TATARI, to not attempt to come into possession of the Phanto Mask's red key until the 10th phase of this game. Upon the 10th phase, I will become they key's co-owner along with the Phanto Mask. This co-ownership will be revoked on the immediate beginning of the 11th phase.”
He shows it to The Night of Wallachia and Phanto Mask, and after a moment of examining it, they both agree!
Suddenly, Orion jumps up!

-----Phase 9----- 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. But... A light in the darkness opens to... Outside? 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. 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. If you really wanted to, you could head towards the light, into the MAZE. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/825715272907358221/951096562669482044/wp-content-2.jpg

Junk food is the best food you can have, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Hmm...
Maybe I can use my AUTHORITY as the theatre owner to make the play happen even without enough people!
We have a Director, a Prop Designer, an Actor, and...
Whatever @​Patches is!
So we only need to cover two extra roles between us!

We could run the play now, but we’re backstage, and my cinematographer isn’t here… Perhaps I didn’t think this through.
(There being 13 phases should alleviate what I was stressing about before)

Well, there's no rush! More time to be lazy!
In the meantime I'll eat some of way-cooler-than-Stephanie's popcorn!

I'll get my costume ready in the meantime. I have the perfect character in mind for your play!

Max looks in the boxes of masks...
He's looking for one very special mask.
You know the one.

He takes Dream's mask!
Meanwhile, Robbie and Nagisa are having a bonding moment...
She gives him some of her popcorn!

He keeps a watchful eye on his three assistants whilst eating it, but gives each of them a single piece after they plead enough.

Nagisa has taken something from Robbie, too...
His catchphrase!
She shouts,
"It's disguise time!"

And spins around, reappearing in her giant dango costume!

Pinned a message.
-----Phase 11----- 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. But... A light in the darkness opens to... Outside? 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. 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. If you really wanted to, you could head towards the light, into the MAZE. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/825715272907358221/951096562669482044/wp-content-2.jpg
