Notes: Dorothy returns from Christmas shopping to find she has a visitor.

“Santa?” Rose breathed.

“Blanche, I didn’t know you had company.” Dorothy placed her bags on the floor by the sofa and eyed their red-suited visitor.

“He’s here for you, if you can believe. He says he’s a big fan … of what, I don’t know.”

“Be nice,” Wade muttered. “I don’t want to get blood on your carpet.”

Dorothy turned to him. “Wade Wilson, at your service!” He sketched a clumsy bow.

“How can I help you, Mr. Wilson?” Dorothy raised an eyebrow.

“Just allow me to worship at your feet.” He fell to his knees.

Blanche exclaimed, “Well I never!”

Notes: Diva Plavalaguna takes the stage.

She can feel the thrum of the engines through the floor, and it feels like blood in her veins. The audience goes quiet, murmurs, whispers, then silence. Even Ruby Rhod is silent, tucked in his roses and reverent, as the diva stretches out her arms and begins to sing. Notes cascade and climb in the space, spread out to fill the hole of air in the vacuum.

For a moment, in her song, she wishes she were still wrapped in blue veils, not here on this stage, so close to the end. But there will always be a final note.
