LIGHTS GO DOWN

i don't know how but they found me

[]


Hello
Pardon me if I forget your name
But not every hollow is sleepy, is this one?
The heads loll just the same

Oh lord
Just like the slough uptown
Parade through the ballrooms
Decay in your costumes and dance

Come now
Is that any way to talk to me?
Corrupting the young with your uncivil tongue
What a shame if you misspeak now

Somehow
Danced 'til the lights go down
It's curtains for you, jump the back of the queue
And they'll break our necks like we do when the lights go down

Oh no, what have we here?
Oh no, the thief of the year!
Steal every heart from the boys that you're touching
And dance

Until the lights go down
Until the lights go down
Dance 'til the lights go down
Until the lights go down
Dance 'til the lights go–

Oh no, what have we here?
(Until the lights go down)
Oh no, the thief of the year
(Until the lights go down)
Steal every heart from the boys that you're touching
And dance
Until the lights go down


◆ TROUPE MASTER GRIMM ◆
Do not ignore dreams. They are a line from the past to the future. All nightmares are real.
For the first time since their arrival, the Drifter's methods of questioning - and the lack thereof - have run straight into an immovable object in the form of Troupe Master Grimm. He makes it difficult for them, perhaps intentionally, by refusing to give them the simple answers they seek, and instead encouraging them to pursue them rather than abandon all efforts.

He and the Knight know each other, and fought - and he killed them several times. The Knight does not seem particularly bothered by this. The Drifter, for their part, cannot fully conceptualize a fight in which death is not the intended outcome, which leaves them...uncertain, as to how to feel about Grimm in person. Particularly now that they know him to be a god, and one with a decidedly peculiar, cyclical lifespan. He does not protest fate, does not struggle against those chains, but...

But it is still...troubling.
