Beatrice's Heart

You find yourselves in the seats of a darkened theatre. The stage's plush red curtains are currently drawn closed, though there are stairs on either side of an orchestra pit, leading up to the stage area and backstage. Other than that, if you squint, you can see a couple of side exits to the left and right. Of course, there are doors behind you leading to the lobby and the main entrance.

There is a foul smell here, old and rotted flesh and blood, and if you look on the ground you might even see some of it.

((#catbox !))

[approaches closer]

Hey... it will be okay.
telltaleheart: (I'd only use it)

[walks around so he's in front of Clair again]

People want to know you.
telltaleheart: (the state of mind you're in)

Well, it's too late for that now. I think it's good now that it's happened, though.
telltaleheart: (so don't applaud)

[reaches out slowly to lift their chin a bit]

Really. You're beautiful, you know.
telltaleheart: (I will never do anything)

[Somehow this seems familiar.

What if I attempt a hug?]
telltaleheart: (and if the genie were set free)

[pets Clair's hair a bit]

You are. You can't pretend to be beautiful and smart and talented without that stuff being true, you know.
telltaleheart: (I make my mind up)

It makes perfect sense!

[pulls back a little and looks Clair over again]

...I dunno, I didn't really come in with a plan.
telltaleheart: (I won't be sharing the blame)

Then maybe we can figure something out together!
telltaleheart: (I'd bury my three wishes)

Ah, right, these...

[reaches into his pocket again thoughtfully]
telltaleheart: (under a microscope)

I sort of forgot about them, actually.

...If I give them to you, will you remember what I said?
telltaleheart: (this is a battle song)

[grins widely]

Well, maybe I want you to remember extra!
