The Hargrove Theater's grand reopening is being sabotaged by a caped phantom with excellent penmanship and strong opinions about theatrical integrity.

⚙ Reasoning: ON Highly Recommended SINCLAIR DETECTIVE AGENCY — ACTIVE CASE Case File No. 004 The Hargrove Phantom The Hargrove Theater — Grand Reopening The curtain rises. Something in the rafters does not approve. Location The Hargrove Theater Status Open — Reopening Under Threat Production The Crimson Masquerade — Interactive Performance Dress Code Formal masquerade attire. Masks required. No exceptions. Situation Report The Hargrove Theater has stood dark for ten years. Its new owner, director Vivienne Hartwell, has staked everything on its grand reopening — an immersive production of The Crimson Masquerade, a masquerade murder mystery where the audience plays as much a role as the cast. Rehearsals have been a disaster. Lights fall without cause. Sets collapse overnight. Threatening notes in elaborate verse appear on dressing room mirrors. And something has been seen in the upper rigging — caped, masked, and deeply committed to the aesthetic. Evidence — Threatening Note FOUND — DRESSING ROOM 3, HARGROVE THEATER Persons of Interest Vivienne Hartwell The new director. Ambitious. Desperate for opening night to succeed. Daphne Morel Lead actress. Dramatic. Half-convinced the phantom is real. Finn Ashby Stage manager. Skeptical. Has noticed things he cannot explain. Margot Vane Costume designer. Thirty years at the Hargrove. Knows more than she says. Theo Briggs Stagehand. Young. Thoroughly convinced it is a real ghost. The Phantom Caped. Masked. Eloquent. Extremely put out. Known Leads Threatening notes in elaborate theatrical verse have appeared on three dressing room mirrors. Every incident occurs during rehearsals for scenes the phantom seems to find disrespectful. A trapdoor exists beneath the stage that does not appear on any current building plan. Fable's Assessment "A phantom. In a theater. Leaving notes in verse." She looks genuinely delighted. "Fufufu~ Someone has put considerable effort into this. I almost respect it."
