The Old Abandond Theater <open>

[Rosalinda]

Rose would pull her away smiling until they were far away

"we got away!"

[albinotanuki]

"Thank GOD!" Adeline sighed. "I love my aunt, but sometimes she can be a pain in the neck."

Adeline then started to wonder about where Rosalinda was taking her.

"So where is this theater anyways?"

[Rosalinda]

"were here" they had stopped "i realized your blind but smell, it will tell you"

[albinotanuki]

Adeline could smell the scent of alcohol nearby, which indicated the place was somewhere near a pub. She could also smell the subtle hint of dust, mildew, and rotting wood nearby indicating to her that this theater had been abandoned for quite sometime.

Then it suddenly dawned on her. Was Rosalinda living here? Then that's must meant she was homeless, but no, even an abandoned theater would be a palace to anyone who was living on the streets.

[Rosalinda]

"do you like it" she smiled holding Adlines hands "Hey wanna come inside?"

[albinotanuki]

Adeline WAS a little curious as to what was inside, plus anything was better than her aunt dressing her up in uncomfortable clothing.

"Okay." she replied.

[Rosalinda]

Rosalinda gently took Adlines hand and took her inside her theater home, it may smell and sound old but for some odd reason as soon as they stepped inside its like angels came down only to be in the same rooms as the two girls.

"Well what do you wanna explore first?"

[albinotanuki]

"I don't know. Perhaps the stage, I guess."

Adeline could sense the wide open space of the old theater building that it almost made her head spin.

[malevolentmask]

Being leaned against the door frame like a mannequin was odd, but for some reason he couldn't move at all. The shock surprised him, he felt so lighthearted but also felt heavy like lead ready to fall at any moment.

He finally came to his senses when she curtseyed, as an automatic response he awkwardly bowed back feeling the warmth leave him. He would of continued to apologize more and more but he was still at a loss for words never thinking a simple embrace was so comforting.

As if he was wound up like a tinker toy he went quickly back to his room and started to work on the wooden bird. The feeling of warmth made him work diligently on the bird, pouring all his feelings into it. "I'll bet it'll look even better than before" he said to himself feeling optimistic.

[Rosalinda]

Rosalinda took Adeline to the Stage area by taking her hand making sure that she was okay

[albinotanuki]

Adeline could tell that the stage was quite big from the echo of her footsteps on the wood of the stage floor.

"Wow. This place must've had quite the amazing productions in its hay day."

[Rosalinda]

"Yeah, i read in the old newspapers that ive found they played Phantom of the Opera, Singing in the rain and such"

[albinotanuki]

Adeline felt entranced by the stage putting her mind into a dreamlike state. Without realizing it, Adeline started to hum a song her mother use to sing to her when she was young.

[Rosalinda]

Rosalinda would recognize the tune as she sang along

[albinotanuki]

Adeline noticed her friend singing along, so then she decided to sing aloud.

Et quand dans la nuit tout s'endormit,
Je vis les cieux devant mes yeux fermés.
Dans le silence j'avais trouvé la vérité,
Comme une fleur qui ressemble à mon coeur.
L'air me semblait léger léger
Et les couleurs d'une infinie douceur,
Les yeux fermés.
Le coeur si pur
Qui voit revivre l'espoir,
Même s'il fait noir
Qu'il semble pleuvoir.
Et quand dans la nuit tout s'endormit,
Je vis les cieux devant mes yeux fermés.
Dans le silence.
Le coeur si pur
Qui voit revivre l'espoir,
Même s'il fait noir
Qu'il semble pleuvoir.
Et dans le noir
On peut voir l'espoir.
