You walk out

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

You walk out

You walk out to your mailbox, grumpy because your mom made you do it while you were in the middle of reading The Phantom of the Opera. Opening the little door, you find nothing but a golden envelope. What's this? You wonder, and you reach in.

Upon further inspection, you discover the note is sealed with a red glob of wax. The wax is imprinted with a pair of drama masks, one happy, one sad. You peal off the seal. As you slide out the letter inside, you hear faint organ music playing in the background. Ignoring the music, you read the note.

Dear Recevier of this Note,

You have been invited to the Grand Reopening of the Paris Opera House! After being abandoned for quiet a while, this opera house is finally restored to it's glory. The queens and toms of Paris are itching to get their paws on tickets to shows, but you're lucky enough to get a behind-the-scenes tour!

You will be able to see many performances, experience the wonder of early 20th century France, and even go on a tour of the Paris Opera House!* There may even be some very special guests who might show up! Your AEs and CAPTCHAs are welcome. Do you dare to come with me on a slpendid journey of music and mystery?

Sincerely, The House Owner

*We are not responsible for deaths, hauntings, or anything of that sorts. The one thing we can promise is that the Feline of the Opera will not be responsible for those things.

You shrug, and think, This seems fun. Suddenly, fur starts sprouting up all over your skin, and the world around you starts to spin. You soon find yourself in front of the Paris Opera House, as an anthropomorphic cat.

Whoa, lots of things happening. So many white cats! Which one? Clearly not HAB. Poor HAB.

Also, I love that we're just hanging out with the Feline of the Opera. He's like, "Oh, I may have killed a few people and been disfigured and run around with my cape like a vampire (I watched the trailer for the original Phantom film and it happens)," and we just respond with, "But it's not you this time, so it's cool."

*dramatic opera voice* Past the point of no retuuuuuurrn!

I'm sorry, this is a stream of consciousness. High school just started and that's all my brain has room for. Geometry is scarier than any murderer (okay, actually it's not. But whoa, geometry...).

I totally sympathize with you! Geometry is scary and hard and awful. I hate it!

Just so you know, I wrote a story about The Feline of the Opera's backstory. It's on BaB, and if you click, 'Submitted By', it should show up. Also, top!

I'm really sorry, guys. I have a severe case of writer's block, and I don't think my own advice will help me. I hope you're still around. I need help. Lots of writing help.

No siree, my friend. I do not appear to be St. Owl. Although... I believe I will reveal myself once the murderer is discovered... *starts playing music from The Phantom of the Opera on a piano* *dissappears in a puff of smoke*

The House Owner, I'm changing my name. There's a thread about it on CaC. Also, are you Scylla?

House Owner, are you Leafpool or OtR? 

submitted by September
(September 26, 2016 - 7:45 pm)

Congrats on the new name, Artsy. I saw the thread already. Anywho, not to get off track or anything, but it seems I am not Scylla, Leafpool, or OtR. But one of those guesses was close!
