The plaque on the wall says:

In the Beauty's mind there is a play
From the greatest Bard of his day,
And with her to direct Phantom and his lady,
The queen of tales shall see
A scene of two star-crossed lovers,
Horrible though one may be.
A word of warning for those present here:
Not a drop of real blood shall this play house see,
Or the house will become a prison
For the offender, whoever he (or she) shall be.

Any of the scenes between Romeo and his Juliet may be recited, but they must be performed verbatim as per Ella's memory. If Ella's memory is wrong, recitation according to what she or the audience member recalls works just as well. Only Bran and Lotte may be on the stage. A back door will open when the scene is complete.

Bran saw the doors at the same time Lotte did, but he held himself back from racing towards them - partly because he didn't want to look too desperate, but mostly because of the fact that Ella's damned vines were still in their way. He regarded them with a mixture of wariness and curiosity, as though he didn't know what they could do or that they were spurred on by her fear. As far as everyone present was concerned, he'd only heard about what Ella could do; he'd never seen it for himself.

He simply watched as she backed towards the door, knowing that she was afraid but keeping his expression appropriately confused when the vines suddenly shot upwards.

Then she was gone, apparently spooked by something, but frankly he didn't really care what. All that mattered was the vines disappeared a few minutes after she left, and they could finally leave. Shaking his head, Bran slipped off the edge of the stage, headed towards the doors - freedom. If Lotte didn't say anything, then Ella wouldn't know his apartment number yet.

Lotte barely understood the relationship between Ella's fears the vines - before, when Ella had demonstrated her 'magic' to her, they'd been friendly, leaning towards as she was calm. She knew Ella was scared of Bran, even if he hadn't done anything - but did she really have to trap them with the vines? She shook her head, watching Ella go and followed Bran down once he moved forward. An oof escaped her as she hit the ground, then moved to Sherri to shake her hand.

"I'm sorry we had to meet like this, but I'm glad you were here," Lotte said honestly. She gave her a smile before looking over her shoulder at Bran. He was already at the doors and she frowned.

She couldn't let him go like that. She couldn't. Lotte bit her lip before looking back to Sherri. "We should talk sometime. When there's less stress-" She pulled her hand away, with an honest grin. "I'm in 1206 if you need anything."

With a final smile, Lotte pulled at the skirt of her nightgown and took off at the doors with a run. "Bran!"

After giving the two of them a moment to get safely out of the way, Sherri followed Lotte toward the door, walking slowly enough that, hopefully, they would be able to start on their way to somewhere private enough to have what was obviously a much needed discussion. She would look them up later, if it wasn't all a dream.

It was a strange welcome to her new life, and Sherri would have to make sure to not let on to Joss that she was, possibly, beginning to become a believer.
