The Phantom of the Opera . . . kind of

[ladybug_archive]

Why is it that the image of Runihura playing an organ doesn't sound OOC at all? XD

I want my next mystery fic to allow Runi to take center stage, now that Del Vinci will be out of the way, and I had this funny idea on Saturday. Yugi-tachi could be investigating a lot of weird things going on at a theatre where they're putting on The Phantom of the Opera, such as falling stagelights (I got that idea from Rachel's Nancy Drew mystery game) and such. And Runihura would be their real-life "Phantom," responsible for all the calamities. After all, he seems to cause all kinds of mischief, big and small. And he's kind of similar to the Phantom in a lot of ways, though he didn't go all out for revenge when the woman he loved couldn't love him back. XD; He was so weary by that time that I guess he figured there wasn't any point. And he didn't want to wind up causing the woman to hate him. . . . Anyway. . . .

Maybe Téa would be dancing in the production or something, so that there'd be a logical way for Yugi-tachi to get involved. Téa's really about the only main character I can think of who might get involved with the theatre. XD; None of the others really seem like the theatre types.

. . . Alister would get hit by the stagelight, maybe. . . . Well, if anyone did, it would probably be him. I'll have to find out how heavy those things are. Maybe I wouldn't want anyone to get hit with one. ^__~

The song With You by Linkin Park started reminding me of Valon this morning. Well, specifically, Valon's thoughts on Alister, perhaps after Alister has gotten injured. I'm contemplating whether to stick the lyrics in All That's Left of Yesterday or if I should write a new fic specially for the song. XD; Here's the lyrics:

I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static and put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back

It's true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you

You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes

I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor the rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real
I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react
So even though you're close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back

It's true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you

You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
With you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes

No, no matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No, no matter how far we've come I
I can't wait to see tomorrow

With you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
With you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
