[OOM: On stage in the Ankh-Morpork Opera House, the two Ghosts face off... Most dialogue taken directly from Maskerade by Terry Pratchett.]

The door flies open.

There should, it seems, be a crash of thunder lit by a flare of lightning sillhouetting a dark cloaked figure in the doorway... But there isn't.

The figure is dark and cloaked, however, though minus his mask. But the unsheathed rapier and the expression of insane viciousness on his face more than make up for that lack.

Someone is not having a good day.

(Ahahahahahahaha!!!!!)

[OOC: Plotlocked. Please see backroom post for details. Plotchat is located at 'fiveexclamationmarks' Because one can never ever have too many canon references.

If your character just wants to watch/flail? Feel free to start or tag into a thread with one of the observers below. Just think of the main (first) thread as a floor show, baby.]

Antigone has finished her ice cream by now, and is frowning down thoughtfully at a notebook (http://saionjisenpai.livejournal.com/6023.html).

Her eyes widen in alarm as the figure bursts through the door nearly in front of her, and she can't help but think that the face is familiar--

[fiendsoncue.livejournal.com]

Salzella, caughts off guard, staggers melodramatically, sword still caught under his arm, until he sees her face, and hate burns even through the automatic affronted glare.

"...Oh. You!"

[buriedmybrother.livejournal.com]

The look in his eyes hits her like a slap.

Leaving the notebook where it lies, Antigone scrambles to her feet, keeping the chair between them.

"What do you want?"

[fiendsoncue.livejournal.com]

"I can never get away, it seems!" he glares, advancing in a fury. "I die and no, it's another twist in the great and stupid operatic plot of life!! I will not accept it! There are always people like you in this place!!!!"

[buriedmybrother.livejournal.com]

Antigone glances around for someone she knows, someone to help--

He's mad.

"Stay away from me," she warns, snatching up the nearest weapon available to her-- Saionji's notebook-- and wielding it desperately as she retreats.

Roshaun eyes him dubiously.

"Are you quite all right?"

[scourgeofpiracy.livejournal.com]

Norrington glances up at the disturbance, frowning, and drifts closer.

Just in case.

Some have said that there is very little difference between the operatic and the cinematic. So, really, what better to be catching this magic of Opera than a certain filmmaker. As if waiting for some sort of cue or direction, Mark is standing to the side, camera rolling silently.

Sharpe's there, badge pinned on and visible.

Because it looks like this could turn violent.

[agnes_nitt]

Agnes sees the security badge and rushes over.

"Please, you have to stop them! Walter only knows stage fighting! He's going to get hurt!"

[and-far-away.livejournal.com]

Sharpe looks at her, then back at the duellers.

"Looks like he's holding his own well enough to me, miss. But you're right, this isn't the place for it."

He starts towards them to break up the fight. And then Meg gets grabbed, and he's moving.

[agnes_nitt]

Agnes is right beside him, trying to get around to Salzella's other side.

"Be careful," she hisses to Sharpe as she passes. "He's crazy!"

[reapsandcons.livejournal.com]

And where you have operatic and cinematic, you must have that shining star.

... At present, the shining star is quite melodramatically startled.

(It's odd how melodramatic she's feeling, in fact.)

"-- oh, my!" she stars, grabbing the arm of a random passerby. "Would you look at that?"

[liz-imbrie-.livejournal.com]

"At --" Liz Imbrie turns and stares, and fumbles for her camera -- a camera which is no longer there.

[reapsandcons.livejournal.com]

"Oh, not to worry, he has one over there," Daisy says hurriedly, waving her hand over at Mark and then scrambling through her purse.

"Would you like a sweet, maybe?"

They could be there a while.

[liz-imbrie-.livejournal.com]

She glances at Mark, but keeps watching. "Who is that?" she asks dumbly.

Yeah, she's a little distracted. She doesn't answer Daisy.

[agnes_nitt]

Agnes whirls around at the sound of that voice.

"No. No, no, no. Not this time. Not again."

She drifts over to the fringe of the growing crowd (audience) and waits for an opportune moment.

[buriedmybrother.livejournal.com]

And as she's drifting forward, Antigone is hurrying back and out of the fray (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/12203342.html?thread=505431374#t505431374).

She bumps into Agnes and whirls around, dark eyes alarmed.

[agnes_nitt]

Bumping into Agnes is no small thing. Mainly because neither is Agnes. So the witch has gotten adept at catching people when they accidentally bounce off her.

"Are you okay?"

[buriedmybrother.livejournal.com]

Antigone doesn't stare. But there is a moment of accounting for Agnes, in a large part because she herself is a stick of a thing, and frequently buffeted about by the more substantial.

"I--"

She glowers at the dueling Ghosts.

"He's mad."

Dave beer across the table.

"Smeggin' 'ell!"

[eternal-boy.livejournal.com]

Nick, who had been looking quite pleased with life a moment ago as he walked down the steps, stares now.

"Oh god."

[rebelheartalien.livejournal.com]

Michael swings round, eyebrows raised.

"What the fuck?"

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Behind the Bar, Bernard facepalms.

What the bloody, buggering fuck.

[action-antihero.livejournal.com]

Jack's not far away and hearing the commotion, turns to watch the proceedings carefully. He gets the feeling he may be needed, particularly when he realizes who it is at the center of the ruckus.
