THE BOX OFFICE

[tellthestory]

This is where you can meet privately with the Balladeer! The Balladeer is almost always around during the day; just knock.

(Secretly, the door's usually not locked if he's inside. But you wouldn't want to be rude, would you?)

Through what? Magic?

[tellthestory]

Magic... [He spreads his fingers] ...stage magic. Something like that.

[irreprochable]

[hmmm]

Can we get access to the stage other than during the trial?

[tellthestory]

No. And I wouldn't recommend going up there during trials, either. They wouldn't like that.

[irreprochable]

What would they do, do you think?

[tellthestory]

I don't know, I've never had someone not in the performance just crawl onstage while I was working. [He considers for a second, then shrugs.] Probably just shove you off?

[irreprochable]

[. . . ]

But they would show themselves?

[tellthestory]

[wait what let him process that for a second]

...oh, you mean Management? No, they're not usually even backstage. The crew would be the ones kicking you out.

[irreprochable]

[wait hold on]

Who is the crew?

[tellthestory]

They're...the crew?

You don't usually see them around, it's their job not to be seen. But they clean up around here, keep the kitchen stocked, all that stuff. One of them runs the merch booth.

[irreprochable]

Can we meet them?

[tellthestory]

No, they've got jobs to do. They don't appear in the show unless they're needed for some reason. I've never even seen too much of them myself.

[irreprochable]

Is there anyone else working?

[tellthestory]

Me, the crew, management...that's it.

[irreprochable]

Alright. Thank you, for your answers. I'll let you get back to work.

[tellthestory]

.......yeah, no problem.

[this office is boring as hell man but sure]
