Rue: Happy Birthday Mi.

Rue gives My a box of cake

"Oh! Thank you Rue!"

She happily takes the cake and enjoys a slice of it.

[ask-embraceidv]

Rue: Awkward bestie hug?

Embrace isn’t very used to hugs.

You saw an overworked servant (Rue) sitting on the couch exhausted.

Upon noticing the servant, Valentina stood silently in the background, timid. Although, despite her usually avoidant character, a certain softness within her arose from an understanding of work exhaustion. She knew what it was like to over-work yourself. She wondered if perhaps she could do something to help ease that person.

She quietly left the room, and after a few minutes, returned with a neatly kept basket in hand.

Valentina approached the servant from behind the couch, leaning over slightly to make herself somewhat visible to the other.

ξ(⊗‸⊗`ξ❀ < “…. Hello… I… um. I n-noticed you were quite… t-tired… th-thought m-maybe I could o-offer you some dolci (sweets) f-for your… rest… ”

Have you meet the twins?

The archer indeed has meet the twins. It seems as if they've gotten the innate pleasure of being the taste tester for them.

🌸Catching Up🌸

After being sealed in her room for awhile and Phineas unable to meet her doing this time.

You can just imagine how happy he got when he saw her again, immediately running towards her and carrying h his dear RuRu with one arm like she weight nothing at all✨

//I am aware there is some error in the drawing but I was already too tired to fix it and the background and line art not the best but MEH!! Is still cute and I finally got to draw Rue, hope you like it, Sllepy👁️👁️✨ @voidproject

[idv-askchaoticduo]

Rue: Hello there Lawrence, Sam.

Sam takes her hand out of her pocket and waves at you."Ah, Rue! Nice to see you again. What brings you back here again?"

"Are you going to invite him again for a cup of coffee?"

Rue stares at the hunter, unfazed. - @voidproject

Rue: ....

The Vessel stared back, almost in a pouncing position, yet... it never came, why was that? Regardless, the creature only let out a small hiss, standing on it's hind legs once more.

"Lost one, are you confused? You're to kneel before this world's God."

[sleepy-meep]

If @idv-news-boi x @voidproject has a shipping dynamic:

Rue x Lau: Respectful Platonic Friendship

Exe x Lau: Crackship yet wholesome

[idv-ask-the-train-conductor]

Have you meet the twins?

“Do you mean Rue and Exe?(@voidproject)Not quite yet I’m afraid. Though I have heard of them and it seem they are pretty well known in the manor and many like them, I would like to meet one of them if possible and hopefully befriend them!!”

“I even heard that they not from this world just like me so that something that got my interest”

[experimental-blueprints]

Rue: Hello (@voidproject )

“Hello! Can I help you with something?”

[ask-embraceidv]

Rue: Bestie, where is my well deserved coffee?? Haven't I been yassified enough???

[ask-archer-idv]

Have you ask yourself, how did Rue not died of poison? Do you think she is human?

Whether she is human or not...it doesn't matter much to me. She's nice to be around so that's all that really matters doesn't it? I do hope that next time something like that happens she won't act recklessly but next time I'll make sure that the saboteur is hogtied tightly.

[idv-ask-the-showman]

Rue: Um.....whats with that booth? *was surprised to see the booth* .....

(Rue is definitely confused)

“Hello Rue!! Don’t mind me and Lau, we just wanted to troll with this one anon who keep wanna know if we are dating or not. In attempt to make us admit it they try to make me get jealous by saying they will have Lau for themselves and in response we set up this booth for fun and giggles… didn’t actually think it may attract the attention of many and we we will get rich from it >:3!!”

With that, the essence is complete! Thank you so much to those who not only volunteered their ocs for me to draw but also for everyone's patience as I completed the designs. I thoroughly enjoyed developing this essence project and have been pretty excited to share it with you guys for a while!

A note for the extra stuff:

I did decide to include little bonus doodles of the characters/aspects of the designs I couldn't figure out a way to display properly.

Music of the Night Essence:

The stage has been set! The lights are lit and the curtain is rising! Welcome to The Empire Opera House's final dress rehearsal of the timeless classic, The Phantom of the Opera! Let's hope these new ghastly hiccups won't throw this show off of the rails. After all, the show must go on!

-Costume designs may take a while as I'd be designing them in between classes.

·:¨༺ ♱✮♱ ༻¨:· In-Store S Tier: The Angel of Music - {Cleo/@ask-idv-thrillseeker}

A Spector masquerades as a man as it tries to put together the perfect recreation of the script.

Character Description: The once-unenthused actor chosen for the role of the phantom. Over the time of rehearsal, it seemed that the actor hadn’t been keen on the choice of role or that she’d gotten in the play in general. Rumors spread she had simply tried out as a joke between her and her friend who was the head of the light crew. However, after a strange event that happened after one rehearsal, they slowly over time started to act more and more akin to their role. While some people shrugged it off as some strange form of method acting, it's hard not to question the drastic change in personality.

Warnings: This character is possessed throughout the entirety of the plot line. They also commit multiple murders, kidnapping, stalking, etc (basically a good chunk of scenes from the play). ·:¨༺ ♱✮♱ ༻¨:·

S Tier: “Christine” - {Ivy Nettle/@manor-tea-time}

3rd in line for the role of the ingenue, it is a wonder she made it to the stage. Bright lights of center stage await them along with a foreboding ghostly presence.

Character Description:

A part of the stage crew that was forced to take up a part of the show after the last understudy quit the production for mysterious reasons. She’s desperately trying to figure out how exactly to not let the show down and to make up for any lost time. However, as more and more incidents occur, the more on edge and freaked out she becomes.

Warnings: This character gets kidnapped and stalked like in the original play.

·:¨༺ ♱✮♱ ༻¨:·

A Tier: The Vicomte - {Finality/@finality-and-origin}

A talented new actor that appeared out of the framework, starring as Raoul in their debut show.

Character Description:

A sweet soul, albeit anxious for their debut show. Unsure of what exactly to expect from the audience and what they hope to be the beginning of their acting career. As many of the events caused by the phantom occur they start becoming more and more on edge as they question if staying in the production is actually worth it.

A Tier: Primadonna - {Tatya Baudelair/@tatya-time}

A well seasoned actress playing the role of Carlotta. 

Character Description:

While playing the role of a primadonna, they seem to be the furthest thing from it. Often giving small tips/advice to help any of the newer actors/actresses who need it (ex. How to help with stage fright, remembering cues, etc). The main reason she tried out for this show was to support her childhood friend who got the role as Pianji.

Warning: This character gets killed off at some point in the storyline.

A Tier: Aspiring Ballerina - {Bridget Meyler/@candymaker-idv}

Chosen from a local dance studio, this ballerina hopes to plant the seeds to blossom her career.

Character Description:

Playing Meg in the production, this ballerina has more or less put themselves in overdrive to not way down any other people in the cast. Often secretly taking small acting lessons from The Mademe to keep up with everyone else. During the events the phantom causes, she’s one of the first people to put together how the events are following the plot of the play.

A Tier: The Madame - {Rue/@voidproject}

Reprising their role as Madame Giry, this well seasoned actress returns to the stage for a small reunion for her fans.

Character Description:

The Madame is a fairly well-known actress, rumored to be looking towards retirement as their shows start dwindling for a variety of reasons. This rumor seems to be more and more confirmed as they start giving pieces of their acting knowledge to the acting troop’s aspiring ballerina.

·:¨༺ ♱✮♱ ༻¨:·

B Tier: The Baritone - {Matilda/@idv-ask-the-horatius-siblings}

A local actor that was chosen for the role of Pianji.

Character Description:

A very passionate local actor who dragged their friend, Primadonna to try out with them for the production. Extremely excited when they both were able to get in as a duo. 

Warning: This character gets killed off at some point in the storyline.

B Tier: Chief of the Flys - {Wayne Strickland/@manor-tea-time}

A local actor who was chosen for the role of Buquet.

Character Description:

An actor, while not much into the acting scene, wanted to support their daughter, one of the background ballerinas. They’re a fairly gentle soul who seems confused at all of the normal theater shenanigans but has the right spirit.

Warning: This character gets killed off at some point in the storyline.

B Tier: Building Manager - {Miss. Silhouette/@manor-tea-time}

“Gossip is worth its weight in Gold”

Character Description:

The building manager is a fairly greedy and money oriented person. During the events caused by the phantom, they insist that the show must go on for the payout rather than trying to keep the actors safe.

B Tier: Stage Manager - {Beth/@ask-idv-baker}

“The show must go on!” seems to be a redundant saying now.

Character Description:

An overworked stage manager who is slowly questioning why they chose to work for the theater. They’re essentially the equivalent of a tired parent who has to kinda deal with whatever the phantom throws at the show.

B Tier: Maestro - {Exile/@oletus-carousel}

A haunting melody echoes throughout the theater as the Maestro plays their song.

Character Description:

A fairly new Maestro to the musical scene, this being their debut show. They’re a fairly eccentric personality who takes every musical cue in the show extremely seriously. After all, they wish everything to be perfect for opening night.

Warning: This character gets killed off at some point in the storyline.

B Tier: Prop Master - {Kitty Nutella/@idv-artists-trio}

The prop master checks through their list. A noticeable amount of props have gone missing.

Character Description:

A secluded and unsociable person, the prop master often sticks to their own world of prop making. The only times that the acting troupe has seen them talk is to clarify certain things to the director before leaving once more. They’re the 2nd person to notice the strange patterns of the phantom.

B Tier: Light Crew - {Alden West/@ask-idv-astronaut}

“Perhaps you can scare a ghost away with a little illumination! Gentlemen!”

Character Description:

An experienced part of the backstage crew, they’re fairly confident in the abilities of the actors and stage-crew. They’re noted to make small jokes of their time in school with the actor that plays the phantom, but overall seem proud of their sudden seriousness they have taken to the role (at least till the incidents occur).

B Tier: Retired Understudy - {Vanadis/@idv-fifis-toybox}

The understudy knew once the strange occurrences started happening that their role wasn’t worth their life.

Character Description:

Known as the real primadonna that was formerly on stage, it was a strange occurrence when they quit the show for reasons she wouldn’t elaborate upon. With no one to fill in her place, she left the stage crew scrambling for someone that could fill in her spot.

Warning: This character was kidnapped and stalked like in the original play. It is also implied that this character was almost killed a few times.

[@voidproject You've got mail!]

-Dear Rue I'm writing this letter to apologize for our first meeting. Me and Sam weren't used enough to the people in the manor and your prescence was something that at the time we couldn't find...comfortable. Time has changed and i would like to meet up with you again. perhaps with a cup of tea or coffee this time? I would enjoy to get to know you better and know more about your brother, Exe. No particular reason. Come see me anytime you wish to take up on this offer. Sincerely, Lawrence. -To my dear Exe I never thought someone I met in the manor would steal my heart at first glance. Being in love is a new feeling...one that I might be adcited to. You caused so much in so little to the point where i can't seem to get you off my head, always wondering to see you in the manor and get the chance to talk and spend time with you. If i wasn't a coward I would be telling you this in person...but i can't bring myself to do it, My apologies. I've noticed how you don't seem to understand feelings well...but i hope you can understand mine and even return them. With Love, Lawrence Cotas.
