( Minutes blur into hours and days and finally, weeks. The Society finds itself stunned by both a small layer of snow on the ground and the date on its calendar- December 24th. The day passes with baited breath until late afternoon finally rolls around. Lodgers bundle up in their warmest coats and prepare themselves with warmups and suddenly the whole building finds itself wailing with all the human sirens. People, ordinarily Scientists, find themselves lost in a world they have never known, divas born today clambering over each other to transcribe the last of their music to perfect each note in the hopes of calming their newfound anxiety. Flocks of people exit over the threshold in a mass exodus of nervous energy, transferring it instead to the gilded halls of the majestic theater, spilling into the ready room and overflowing into the dressing rooms.

Curtain Call is upon them. )

(Woot! So... 2 things:

1. I'll post Alice's songs after the holidays when I have time to get back into character.

2. I will, however, post the parody I sung. Fair warning! I'm not a singer what so ever! It's really bad and I suggest you don't listen to it. The syllables do fit (counting wise) however I just couldn't get them sometimes. Also I was nervous so expect babbling in the beginning...hehe..ehhhh.... *hides*

Fire Water Burn

Parody and sung by Hyde without a Jekyll

London, London , London is on fire,

London, London , London is on fire,

London, London , London is on fire,

We don't need no water let the mother f*cker burn,

Burn mother f*cker burn.

Hyde begins to sing

Hello my name is Henry J and I'm a heartless guy, *imitating Henry.*

Henry: *interject* Stop that!

He’s not hot or cool but an old fool who cannot help but lie.

* really bad accent* And if yew gonna ‘ry ter lock me up then I’ll fight ye till da day what I die

But he can take the heat cause he’s the other sly meat known Sir Edward Hyde

Yeah I'm small like planet Pluto hard to see with the naked eye,

But if I poisoned you with Mercury they’ll stick you where the sun don’t shine.

Cause I’m kind of like the time traveler always playing hooky

I'm the root of all that's evil yeah but at least I’ve got a cookie,

London, London , London is on fire,

London, London , London is on fire,

London, London , London is on fire,

We don't need no water let the mother f*cker burn,

Burn mother f*cker burn.

Yo yo this hard-core spooky spirit image takes a lot of practice,

I’m not Sweet like Sweeny Todd no I am odd like Old Swede is,

So if man is five and the devil is six than that must make me seven,

This monster’s goin’ to heaven,

But if I go to hell then I hope I burn well,

I'll spend my days with

Dorian Gray, Quartermain, Miss. Murray, and Sherlock Holmes

and Captain Nemo, Sawyer, Moreau

and France’s Opera poltergeist

And Victor yeah Frankenstein’s Creature cause he’s the anti-christ

London, London , London is on fire,

London, London , London is on fire,

London, London , London is on fire,

We don't need no water let the mother f*cker burn,

Burn mother f*cker burn.

Everybody here we go,

Ohh Ohh,

C'mon Henry Jekyll,

Ohh Ohh,

Throw your hands in the air,

Ohh Ohh,

C'mon Henry Jekyll,

Ohh Ohh,

Wave 'em like you don't care,

Ohh Ohh,

C'mon Henry Jekyll,

Ohh Ohh,

Everbody say ho,

Ohh Ohh,

C'mon Henry Jekyll,

Ohh Ohh,

Everybody here we go. )

(( So there's a mild problem with my assembling my songs: My family consists of very loud, rambunctious individuals and I cannot (contrary to their popular belief apparently) move the piano to a quieter room, as it's a baby grand. I've part of Richard's performance recorded, but given that I'm going out of town until the 30th come tomorrow, there's a fair chance I won't be able to get the rest by the first. It's not an impossibility, but y'know, fair warning.

With that said, I do have two out of character performances I'd like to share with everyone, since they're appropriate to the time period

First Song: A little atmospheric track I improvised and fiddled around with in audacity. I like making these sorts of things for when I write, and given that we're in the winter season, my fingers wandered that way.

Second song: I wrote this for Richard, even if he doesn't sing it (for the most part. I sound nothing like Richard though, so yknow XD). I'm not even sure how it came about really, but the lyrics are there and whatnot, see if you can figure out who's singing which lines. Please excuse the reverb and wobbling in my voice. One, I love fiddling in audacity, two, allergies were attacking when I recorded and that has a tendency to make my voice go all over XD

Hope you guys enjoy! ))

(The first track was very pretty and peaceful. It really feels like winter!

The Second song, holy. I, words are failing me...

It sounds like an overview of Richard's life being sung by various people from his past, ending with, I believe the current story and him singing. It feels very, deep. Like the black, crushing depths of the ocean. And is nigh visceral in its intensity. I can only imagine what it would sound like if put to full music, and I really wish it were possible to download the song so I could hear it all day!

Sorry to hear about the allergies, but rest assured I didn't notice anything affecting your singing. You sounded great!)

The stage was dimly lighted, nearly dark, as Lewis began to sing. As he continued, it gradually brightened.

As he finished, the stage returned to darkness once more.

The basic lyrics I took from the Simon & Garfunkel version, but I altered them to suit a Victorian setting--no "neon light", for example. Also tried to get a rough estimate of London's population in the 1880s, which is where the "4 million" figure comes from. Altered some of the other lyrics just 'cause I felt like it. ;-) ))

(Good grief. Everyone is bringing so much to the stage, original music, dramatic tunes and even parodies!

...

I feel very small.)

* As Catt watched the other lodgers perform their pieces, she felt more and more that she had chosen the wrong songs, and too few. Truth be told she had only prepared one song, and it was merely a Christmas carol that she had been lucky enough to remember all the words to.

The final straw on the back of her confidence was laid when Lewis performed. There was no way she could match that!

Making her decision, she walked back from the stage and past the dressing rooms.. Sure, some would be dissapointed that they wouldn't hear her sing, but they would probably be even more dissapointed if they did.

With all the bustle and preparations going on behind the scenes, she hoped that no one would notice her sneaking out by the stage entrance. A cloak of fear and embarrassment billowing behind her.*

(Narrator's note: this is not me bowing out of the story! It's just after I listened to the other performances, I realised that it would, rather shake Catt's confidence. She'll just need a bit of persuading to go on. ;)

That's an open invitation, by the way.)

Early in the afternoon a young woman arrives at the Society, muffled up in an immense amount of coats and shawls. Isabella hasn't put in an appearance at the Society since the day Nex Hyde disappeared. She shivers in the cold air but the way she shifts from foot to foot betrays her excitement. She joins some of the other scientists setting out for the Opera House.

( Miss-Dreamerkat Jekyll1886 just tagging you to let you know Isabella's back since I had to disappear from "The Nightmare Ends" rather suddenly, so here she is if you - or anyone else - want to tie up loose ends, either at the Society before she sets off or at the opera house.)

Isabella's cue was called and she walked out onto the stage, carrying a guitar. Reaching the front of the stage, she then stood and said nothing whatever for several seconds. (A close observer would have noticed her left hand pointlessly gripping the neck of the guitar as if trying to strangle it.)

Finally she brought the guitar round in front of her and began to sing.

(I love these very old carols. And if the song's not appropriate now, I'm sure it will be before long.

( Without hesitation, he lifts his tiny well decorated guitar into his arms. A simple stool sits slightly left stage. A minimalistic prop for such a grand production, but fitting for his presentation. He can feel the beady eyes silently judging him from the orchestra pit as his fingers pluck the first of his many acoustic notes.

https://youtu.be/uyS7KKF6I3Y

”I love you too much…to live without you loving me back. I love you too much, heaven’s my witness and this is a fact. I know I belong, when I sing this song…” As the words come tumbling out, a warmth fills his stomach. There couldn’t be a truer sentence. This is clearly music at its core.

He pushes off the stool, twirling with the ebb and flow of the chords, losing himself in the sound all around him. chutes curl around the pillars, the golden decorations bursting with giant white lilies. Blue Camellias spring up around his feet and white carnations grow and spread around the curtain. As the music swells and the orchestra joins in, the air suddenly smells sweeter.

”…There’s love above love and it’s mine 'cause I love you, there’s love above love and it’s YOURS 'cause I love you, There’s love above love and it’s ours if you love me as much” As the notes dwindle in the drafty air, singing long after his lips close, he notices a softness on their faces.

Are they opening their minds, or is it just his imagination?

Lewis was backstage, mentally going over his next song, when he heard Alano begin to play, then sing. As the latter continued his number, Weir found himself truly listening, the chords and words conveying a warm feeling which, for him, turned beautifully bittersweet. He let it carry him into his own heart, bringing back memories of those he'd loved and lost. Images and emotions flashed through him as he thought of the people he knew now. There were some to whom he'd gladly give all his being, everything he ever was or would be...were the love not unrequited.

The song ended, and he came reluctantly back to himself.

He took out his pocket square and wiped his eyes, then replaced it as if nothing had happened.

The show must go on...

( She’d been dreading this moment ever since Jasper signed her name in pen. She didn’t want to do it. Ever.  …But now she has to.

Silver makes her way onto the stage, almost missing her name when it was called. Her organs quiver in question. She sucks in a deep breath. Here goes nothing.
