Evil's Theater

Evil's Theater was a small theater in the middle of Held's Forest built by Gallerian Marlon and Ma in EC 982 to house his collection of the Seven Deadly Sins. After the judge's death, it became the residence of Ma, Gammon Octo and the awakened vessels of sin.

Early History
In EC 982, Judge Gallerian Marlon acquired the abandoned property in the Millennium Tree Forest and had the building demolished. After it was torn down, the skeletal corpses of Adam and Eve Moonlit were discovered and the judge had a graveyard built around the theater grounds. Following the plans drawn up by Ma, Gallerian had the theater built, including technology from Magic Kingdom Levianta.

After its completion in December of that year, the vessels of sin in Gallerian's possession were transferred to the theater for a time. Ma then added the Twin Blades of Levianta to the vessel collection. Afterwards, Gallerian created a documentary showcasing the vessels of sin he collected for the theater, keeping it as the only film played at the isolated cinema.

Forgotten
After Gallerian's demise in August of EC 983, Ma inherited the judge's collection and stored them in the theater. In an effort to keep the awakened Clockworker's Doll alive, she was connected to the inner mechanisms of Heartbeat Clocktower as a form of life support. Sometime after, the Marlon Spoon, Glass of Conchita, and Four Mirrors of Lucifenia awakened and took on human forms.

Taking on the name of the "Gardener", Ma had the awakened vessels assist her in her ambition. Residing in the Graveyard, the Master of the Graveyard devoured anyone who wandered onto the theater grounds; Gear remained in Heartbeat Clocktower and maintained it for the Clockworker's Doll life support. Around the same time, the Waiter acted as the theater's waitron.

Repurposed
In EC 990, the Clockworker's Doll began singing the Clockwork Lullaby. Afterward, numerous treasure hunters came to the theater seeking Gallerian's rumored fortune there; all of them were swiftly captured by the Master of the Graveyard and her Servants and eaten. At some point, Heartbeat Clocktower broke down. Gear then sacrificed his heart to keep the rusted clock tower's gears functioning, connecting him to its inner mechanisms and binding him to the tower.

Afterward, the Clockworker's Doll was revitalized. With Ma's encouragement, the Director Doll headed the theater's inhabitants as "Master of the Court" and continued Gallerian's quest to collect the remaining vessel of sin, Grim the End. As intruders began making it past the theater's graveyard, they were captured and put on trial by the Judicial Doll, sentencing them all to death.

At some point, Gammon Octo infiltrated the theater and was captured and convicted by the Master of the Court. As he prepared for his execution, the Waiter intervened and prevented his death in exchange for the intruder to replace Ma as the Gardener and do their chores. Later, Ma and Gammon wrote screenplays together about those involved with the vessels of sin and the Original Sin.

In EC 998, the Master of the Court called all the inhabitants of the theater together for a "trial" meeting. After confirming the likelihood the vessel of Wrath was in the possession of the Master of the Hellish Yard, the doll interrogated Gammon about his reasons for coming to the theater to organize everything.

World's End
In EC 998, Evil's Theater was completely decimated by Punishment. Following the end of the Third Period, the destruction site merged with the Hellish Yard along with the rest of the ground world.

Graveyard
The cemetery surrounding the theater and the domain of the Master of the Graveyard. Built after corpses were found at the original construction site, it was regularly patrolled by the awakened vessel of Gluttony and her servants later on.

Heartbeat Clocktower
The tall clock tower at the center of the Theater and the domain of Gear. The awakened vessel of Greed protected and maintained the spire to preserve the life of the burned Clockworker's Doll. Seventeen years after its construction, the clocktower broke down due to its aging parts. Once Gear sacrificed his heart and linked himself to the tower, the clock began to work again and the Clockworker's Doll was saved. As a result, he could neither leave the clocktower nor enter the main theater.

Evil's Kingdom
A small cinema within the theater. It had a director's office connected to the interior of the theater's main hall. Although originally showing a documentary of Gallerian introducing his "collectibles", other films written by Ma and Gammon were later shown at the cinema; the theater's inhabitants also viewed the films on occasion. The Waiter acted as its waitron.

Evil's Court
The courtroom within the theater and the domain of the Master of the Court. Those who bypassed the Graveyard were captured and brought before the Master of the Court. Throwing a speedy and unfair trial, the Judicial Doll sentenced countless intruders to death. The courtroom also acted as a meeting place for the inhabitants when needed, called a "trial" by the Director Doll.
