[Lyney's smiling face can be seen on the screen, selfie-style as he records. Behind him is a grand-looking building, shiny and new on the streets of Eltrut. He's grinning wide as he talks, and while he's clearly in his 'showmanship' mode, the joy on his face is very genuine. ]

Bonjour, mes amis! I have some exciting news for you all! After many long weeks of planning, hard work, sweat and tears, I come to you all with a grand and wondrous announcement! My little pet project, the Théâtre des Merveilles, has officially opened today! A new locale for magic, wonder, and whimsical delight! And our first show is this very evening! Tickets will also be discounted for this week as well, so there's no need to feel put out by the cost! Come by, and witness the first of many extraordinary performances!

[The first thing people will need to do to enter the theatre is to stop by and purchase a ticket. Tickets can be bought from the ticket booth, where one of two twin catfolk will be offering tickets to those looking to buy one-- discounted for the week, as Lyney promised. Passing through the doors lead to the open lobby. Patrons are encouraged to mingle before the show, and may also purchase some light snacks and refreshments at a nearby bar, should they be interested in doing so.]

[Should one explore the lobby long enough to find the staircase leading down to the lower level, they'll discover the lounge area where guests may enjoy a sit-down dining experience. The lounge is open both before and after the show, so there's no risk for those wanting to dine to miss out. Come in and take a seat, have some refreshments, and enjoy the atmosphere!]

[Wriothesley is doing what he does best - that is, somehow slinking in the shadows and being where people may not expect. He's heard plenty about Lyney and Lynette's shows, but attending was just a luxury he couldn't write off. Most Overworld forays always had some work-relation to them; that he has an opportunity now is pleasant. So there he is, able to be discovered before and after the show, blending into the lounge area more for the refreshments and seeing who else came to attend.]

[OOC: Option to meet him before the show or after, likely nursing some non-alcoholic beverage. Just make sure to note in the subject like which time preferred!]

[It had taken some...convincing, for Kaveh to be allowed to show up, but he had managed to win that argument and come here. It's probably of no surprise he's wandered into the lounge to see what refreshments they have to offer and if they're alcoholic.

There's some dark circles under his eyes the lighting does a lot to hide, though not entirely. Truthfully, the theater might provide a welcome distraction from where his thoughts have been, even if he seems to be more subdued than normal. Getting out and around people he has no sense of responsibility towards might help.

Please ignore the looming shadow not far from him, it's fine, he's fine, everything's fine.]

[Eventually, it'll be time for curtain call, and patrons will be ushered to their seats. Whether sitting in the lower levels or higher up in the balcony seating, the view of the stage is exquisite. The interior is refined and elegant, yet still gives a more intimate feeling in relation to the stage.]

[And as guests settle in their seats and the lights dim, a spotlight shines, and before long Lyney is standing at centre stage. He bows, before addressing the theatre as a whole.]

Bonsoir, my dear friends! I must thank you all for coming to our grand opening week! Now, prepare to be amazed at what you're about to see before you!

[Lyney and Lynette will both be present for the performances, which vary from night to night during their opening week. But whether it's simple sleight of hand or elaborate water tank disappearances, the tricks are indeed the kind to astound and wow an audience.]

Now, for this next trick, I'll need a volunteer!

[Of course, what's a magic show without some audience participation? Perhaps you may be inspired to volunteer, or somehow picked without warning. But don't be shy! It's all part of the fun!]

[Heizou is the first person in the theater and very proudly takes a seat in front row center. And he is absolutely captivated by the performance, watching with rapt attention and a pleased smile across his face. Not the polite, easygoing mask that he usually wears when he's out and about in public spaces, either. It's much more genuine, partially hidden by the dark of the theater with all the spotlights focused on the stage. On Lyney.

Which is also exactly where Heizou's gaze is laser focused. No matter where the magic tricks should be leading his eyes, they're always quick to dart back to Lyney so that he doesn't miss a single thing. That's his talented boyfriend up there. And he is deeply enjoying getting to see the magician glow up on the stage, deep in his own element.

Attempt to start a conversation if you dare.]
