Roleplay Retcon

The dust has barely settled from the terrifying chandelier incident. Daroga is determined to make the Phantom answer for it. Meanwhile, Raoul and Christine escape to the safety of the Chagny estate, where they do whatever people who are catching feelings do. Raoul conjures an illusory peacock. Christine does not know how to make the horses go. Daroga channels Gaming Icons. |

Hey, guess what. Someone dies in this episode.

Christine tames a dragon or two. Raoul takes flight. Daroga's in charge.

Daroga finds himself in the very extra clutches of the Phantom, and his only hope for escape may be his personal Hell-- talking it out. Meanwhile, Raoul has a good news/bad news kind of day when he finds the perfect outfit in the labyrinthine hallways of the Opera Garnier... only to have his heart broken again. Christine tries to be a theatre kid again. Raoul gets a smaug look on his face. Daroga warms up.

Things are getting weird at the Opera Garnier; "Daroga" explores the bizarre underground lake while Raoul and Christine make some tough decisions about their futures. Christine puts a blinger on her finger. Raoul learns the language of the most majestic beast on the Earth. Daroga makes a house call. |

How about a date? Christine breaks a promise. Raoul decides on a reasonable number of horse-drawn chariots. The Patron makes contact.

Look, frankly, not a lot happens this episode until this one thing, and the one thing is A LOT. Raoul treats himself to a spa day. The Patron does some grilling. Christine discovers something tragic or happy, depending on who you ask.

If you play a TTRPG with Jensie, you will end up roleplaying a fancy dinner party 100 percent of the time. Christine isn't here, man. Raoul is vexed by this closet. The Patron is... vexed by the same closet.

Christine belts a practically divine solo, only to be pummeled by her newly-adoring public. Raoul to the rescue! Meanwhile, the mysterious Box 6 Patron uses the commotion as cover to look for clues in Box 5...

Hey, we're featuring a few episodes of Tales from the Cryptid on Roleplay Retcon's feed, hosted by investigative journalist Gaston Leroux (who sounds a lot like Jensie, haha what a kooky coincidence). Leroux has proof of what happened at the Opera Garnier in Paris in 1992, and the real story is wilder than anything you think you know about it.

Phantom of the Opera will be back next episode, but for now let's make a Holiday special! You know, the ones that flood TV this time of year and are all about Santa and reindeer and dentists and such. For ours, we'll be playing Alex Roberts' And to All a Good Night, an adaptation of her storytelling game For the Queen that helps us process our weird feelings about Santa Claus. |
