Keeping

Stagehand Clothes: A set of entirely black clothing, including extremely quiet black sneakers. Meant to help you move silently and unseen in the dark.

Bomber Jacket: A large brown bomber jacket, rather worn. It smells vaguely of gunpowder

Harmonica: A silver harmonica.

Top Hat & Cane: A black top hat with a matching cane. You could probably perform a nice dance number with them.

A Sunday Afternoon: A painting of a peaceful Sunday afternoon in the park. The brushwork on the peoples' hats is particularly impressive.

Bandage Wrap: A cloth bandage wrap used to treat wounds. It's bright white, so you can see it even from the back of the house.

Iver-Johnson .32: Rubber handles, owls stamped on the sides. It's unloaded.

Death Note: A black notebook with the words DEATH NOTE written across the front. The first page reads "The human whose name is written in this note shall die." Luckily (or unluckily) it's just an ordinary, if edgy, notebook.

Glo Tape: Glow in the dark tape. Makes it easy to hit those marks during a blackout!

Masque of the Opera Ghost: A white half-mask. Hide your face so the world will never find you.

Beans: A leather pouch with four beans inside. They don't seem to do much.

Teddy Bear: A giant teddy bear, such as one might win at a carnival. It has an odd sharp smell to it, sort of like...gunpowder?

Green Elixir: Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty... A green liquid in a small bottle made of frosted green glass. Drinking it will reveal that it is 1) very tasty and 2) straight absinthe.

Striped Scarf: A long striped scarf. Wearing it makes you look very Bohemian.

The Lizard and I: A small green lizard. Yes, it's alive.

Green Elixir: Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty... A green liquid in a small bottle made of frosted green glass. Drinking it will reveal that it is 1) very tasty and 2) straight absinthe.

Giving Away

Cologne: A fine French cologne with an irresistible, masculine scent.

Golden Slippers: The slippers as pure as gold. They're small, but someone here may be able to fit in them.

Hair Gel: A tin of hair gel. Use it to keep that 'do looking good!

Razor: A silver straight razor. While it looks extremely real, trying to slice throats will only yield plastic burns.

Ruby Slippers: A pair of shiny ruby shoes. Clicking the heels together makes a very satisfying sound.

Magical Mister Mistoffelees: A tuxedo cat plush. It's chest is bedazzled with small plastic gems. The tag around it's neck says "Magical Mister Mistoffelees".

Gorgeous Breastplate: A thin golden breastplate. It's made of real metal, but seems to fasten onto the body with glittery pink ribbons.

Tracking Device: A tracking device, like you'd put on an animal for study. Seems to still be working, but you don't have anything to monitor it with.

SO AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, Curtains has some very strong fourth-walling elements in general, and the Balladeer personally has a large part in that! As a narrator in his show, he's aware that he's a part of a stage show and also...pretty much that everyone else is as well. Also maybe that this is a Dreamwidth RP, but we don't gotta talk about that.

As he's not in charge of this round, he won't just Know Everything about anyone, but he might be able to pick up some Vibes, particularly regarding their musical leitmotifs - stuff like whether or not their songs sound ominous, maybe any frequent refrains they have. Also if they're from a particularly famous stage musical, like Fellow Sondheim Character Sweeney Todd, you can also have him just...kinda know who your character is.

Anyway, this is an opt-in post for whether or not B can Know Shit! Feel free to ping me in Discord or PP me at lluosogrwydd if you've got any specific questions!

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?)
