*reader's discretion alert, since this is a Halloween story, it's going to be really disturbing.
Many years ago, in a theatre. "Romeo, I come! This do I drink to thee." The actress chug down a small bottle of unknown solution, then falls onto her bed as the curtains were slowly lowered down. However, the lowered curtains were not raised again. The actress of Juliet was found dead behind the curtain and the actor of Romeo went missing and never been found ever since then.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
30th October 2019, a mutilated body of theatre actress was found on the stage of a public theatre that had performed the theatre show of Romeo and Juliet days ago. She was proved to be killed by the actor of Romeo who had gone missing. However, since the case is quite weird and filled with unsolvable mysteries, the police had no choice but to seek for assistance from a special party...
"This is the third case in these five years, which is why we seek for your assistance." said the police officer. "But I was informed that the party involved had been confirmed by the police department." said Sky. "Well, it is, however, all the suspects gone missing and still not yet been found." said the police officer. "Suspects?" said Seito while emphasizing the 's'. "Yes, three different cases with three different suspects, but the exact same pattern of murder case. All were happened in a theatre, actress for Juliet getting murdered, and was done by the actor of Romeo." said the police officer. "Which means it's three totally different people who did the murders in the same pattern." Seito ask. "Yes, this is why these cases are weird and creepy." said the officer. "I see..." said Sky while looking at the photos of the mutilated body of the actress with a rather disturbing feeling.
And so, Sky and Seito reached the location of the murder, which is the public theatre. However, the person in charge there refused to cooperate with them. Their reason is that, the murderer had been confirmed and the town mayor had given a protection order to the theatre that exempted it from the mandatory investigation of police officers.
"Tsk... This could be troublesome. I wish Chris was here, he is good at handling this type of thing." Sky thought.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Black Cross. Dark Prince and Chris are playing some card game, while Sal, Athena, and Xenoo are crafting pumpkin lanterns. Then Rei walks in with a tray of cute and delicious looking cookies. Athena saw the cookies and run towards Rei. "Rei - chama! Rei - chama! Can I have some cookies?" Athena asks with a really sweet tone. "Too bad, you cannot have it, it's for tomorrow's use." said Rei with a gentle smile. "Oh...okie..." said Athena, rather disappointed. However, Athena is not the only one that is interested at the cookies, there is another pair of passionated eyes staring at the cookies, it's Chris, he is staring at the cookies while playing the card game. Rei noticed him and giggled out a bit, then she picked a really nice piece of cookie and give it to Chris, Chris look at her with a rather childish yet happy look. "Not fair... Why do Hei-chan can have the cookies before Halloween?" said Athena, a bit jealous. "Well, because he is Hei-chan." said Rei, while Chris gives Athena an evil smug.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While Sky is still thinking about how should he deal with that power abusing situation, Seito suddenly said some creepy stuff. "It's you the one that threatened me to take that role in that act even when you realize about the curse, if it wasn't you, I would not die in such a gruesome way!... Said the lady who is standing behind you." said Seito. The staff frightened and stumbled to the floor as he heard what Seito said. Sky looks at Seito for a while before he remembered Seito's character setting... Cough... I mean... Uh... Never mind.
"For your information, Seito is a spirit medium." said Sky. "Wait what? Why is my identity getting weirder every time?" said Seito. "Is it weird? Hmm... I thought it's commonly used." said Sky. "Well, it is... But that's not the point here! You can just say that I'm a psychic or something like that." said Seito. "But that's a bit too wide and not specific enough... By psychic, it could mean that you can do telepathy, telekinesis... And so on... Oh! Or maybe, spiritual consultant." said Sky. "No!..." said Seito. And so the two continue to argue with this meaningless matter, totally forgot about the frightened staff.
"Uhm... Sorry to interrupt you but... I'm still here..." said the staff, still frightened but eager to know what happens. "Ah... I totally forgot about you. Tell us what you know... If not... I believe you are feeling some stinging sensation on your shoulder right now, she is currently scratching your shoulder with her bloody long nails." said Sky. And all of a sudden, the staff really felt some scratches on his shoulder...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The staff had told them everything he knows, including the 'curse' since fifty years ago. Fifty years ago, an act of Romeo and Juliet was presented in that public theatre, but the actress was poisoned on the stage. Actually, this tragedy was avoidable if the director did not insist to let the actress of Juliet drink an actual sleeping potion for a more realistic presentation during the play, the sleep potion was replaced with a real poison by the background staff who is jealous with the actress of Juliet for getting the role of Juliet while she can only be a background staff, she committed suicide after the actress was dead and the actor for Romeo when missing.
Ever since then, an urban legend of a curse had been spread widely, it's said that whoever that did the same act in that public theatre, there's a high possibility that the tragedy will be re-enacted.
