OVERTURE

You wake up, and realize you don’t remember how you got here.

This bed is soft and warm, but it’s certainly not yours. And the room is unfamiliar - unless perhaps you’re an actor, seeing as it looks almost exactly like every dressing room in the world. It's not quite large enough to fit the bed and trunk comfortably alongside the vanity, but it what it lacks in open space, it makes up for in coziness. This could be something you’ve seen in a movie, or dreamed about experiencing one day. But whatever the case, you aren’t supposed to be here.

There’s a silver key resting on your vanity, along with a thin program booklet. The cover - where the name of the show would usually be - is blank, but if you flip through it, you’ll find some startlingly familiar information. Maybe a few familiar faces as well…

The hallway outside is narrow and poorly-lit, lined with star-studded doors. But if you make your way past them and out into the lobby, you’ll find something entirely different: an elegant, refined opera house. Crystal chandeliers glitter overhead, and the red carpet is perfect for putting on a show. A large clock on the northern wall marks the time, though with the windows shuttered and locked it's difficult to tell whether it's morning or night. There’s also some framed information pinned up that you might find helpful. If you explore further into the adjoining wings, in fact, you'll see there's an identical copy in every room.

There’s also two sets of double-doors in the lobby: one leading back the way you came, deeper into the Opera House, and one leading out. For the moment, neither of them will open.

It looks like you’re stuck. But hey - at least you aren’t alone.

Costume room

[Seymour was just checking out the outfits in the costume room when he sees Eliza.]

Can... can we just use these outfits?

[Seymour had not seen any of the actual staff members, and his knowledge of the theater life is minimal at best, but it feels a little unsure if it was okay to just use these random outfits.]

Sometimes it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. [Picks through racks and oh god, what is this even?] Whoever trapped us here did so without a change of clothes so it's their own fault if we aren't supposed to use them.

... I hadn't thought about that yet.

[He looks sheepish.]

You think there's anything good in here?

[Eliza offers him a gentle smile, hoping to ease his nerves.]

There seems to be plenty of men's clothes if you'd like to have a look. What's your name, sir?
dontfeedplants: (Stick with that plant)

[Seymour returns the smile, although it seems a little forced.]

Seymour. It's Seymour.

[He idly looks through the clothing options, frowning slightly at some of them.]
