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.

Oh!

[Hime flinches back. She gives a shaky smile and comes out from behind the rack, though she still has a tight grip on one of the bars for security.]

Um. Hello?
trettende: (por primera vez hoy siento que se abrió)

[personal profile] trettende 2016-10-11 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
You really don't remember...?

[ Betrayal... and shit, Hans has been telling people they're engaged! Hijinks! ]

We talked about it on the veranda. Two of my brothers pretended I didn't exist for three years.

[ How could you forget :'( ]
rockthistown: (what does that have to do with it)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-11 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
howdoyouknowmyname

[Hime squeaks and hides back behind the rack, After a few deep breaths, she slowly comes out from behind and stares.]

...hello! Is this what the people of Harmonia look like?
rockthistown: (distress call to nobody)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-11 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
People are scary!

[Stop, Hime, you've been working on this. She breathes in again.]

I was just surprised! I remember being invited to a celebration with my friends and we were going to perform, but I don't remember actually going there, and I don't see anyone I was with.
solomonjihad: (☥/☆ I can't...hold on...)

[personal profile] solomonjihad 2016-10-11 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Ow...

[She looks up at Hime. Oh, its...its not an Undead. Of course not.

She frowns as she hears a chuckle in the inner depths of her ears.]


Why did you do that?
rockthistown: (judgment free zone)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-11 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Hime freezes. She looks at the pamphlet herself and sheepishly comes out from behind the rack.]

Are you sure it's safe? We just got kidnapped here.
trettende: (y tú estés junto a mí)

[personal profile] trettende 2016-10-11 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ah yes, like a true prince charming, Hans is happy to help. He is just so nice. Nice enough to ignore weird words. Maybe Norwegian/Danish/Disney English isn't her first language? ]

Nor am I an actor, and yet here we are. This is all very strange...
sunshineprincess: (♣ I didn't know they did that)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Anna still looks clueless.]

Are you sure it was me you were talking to? The last thing I remember is standing beside my sister talking about chocolate.

[There's other redheads in Arendelle.]
dechagny: (ffffffffuck)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-11 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
It's alright. No harm done.

[He even smiles. See? We're cool.

...But that smile quickly fades at her question.]
Different...

[Raoul pats himself looking down. Now that he thinks about it, is this even the suit jacket he wore tonight? He has a few. And the suit...is it the suit he was wearing? He can't remember, and suddenly there is very, very real concern for the ladies here that forms a lump in his throat.]

I...cannot remember. But, if you've asked, is that...something I should be worried about?

[It's sick enough to be kidnapped, holed up in an opera house, and have information about you referring to you as an "actor". But for whoever did this to have gone to the trouble of changing your clothes while you were possibly unconscious?

Despicable.]
robitussin: (for just another day)

[personal profile] robitussin 2016-10-11 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Nope. I'm from the United States. Which... raises a few questions that I don't want to think about.

[At least they're on the same page; she's troubled by something similar.]
sunshineprincess: (• There'll be music)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Whatever that is, it sounds important.]

If I meet him, I'll let you know!
dechagny: (aint no viscount got time for that)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-11 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[As always.]

Oh, no apology necessary. I would rather ask than assume, miss.

[But now that he's said that, would it be rude to ask about her...features?]

Are you...quite alright?
rockthistown: (and i don't know what i'm doing)

dressing rooms

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-11 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Hime's been convinced to stop hiding, anyway, and she's moving her garment rack back into her room when she notices D-ne. She startles, shakes her head, and waves.]

Um... hello?
sunshineprincess: (♥ It's just a matter of time)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[That... is a long list.]

Really? So I shouldn't want to meet a magical person then?
solomonjihad: (☆if only I knew...)

[personal profile] solomonjihad 2016-10-11 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Phoencian and Japanese and...that's it. Yup. I̕f̴́͡ ͏͡on͠l̶͡ỳ̷̸ ̸̡͡he ͘k͏̨͜n̛͜ew ̀̕t͏h́̀͏e ̶t̨͝r̷͢út̸̷͠h҉͞]

It is....but...there has to be an exit, right?

[She looks over at the pair of doors.]

robitussin: (feel like i feel too)

[personal profile] robitussin 2016-10-11 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa there, let's not jump to killing people immediately. Also - royalty?

[Despite everything strange that's happened to her today, that sticks out as especially strange.]

rockthistown: (but at least i know the canon?)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-11 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
They have my stuff! I can't -- I mean, I had some things on me and now I don't! [Hime looks up with growing horror on her face.] We really were kidnapped! But how? They couldn't have gotten into the embassy, we'd have to let them in!
trettende: (y por fin te encontré a ti)

[personal profile] trettende 2016-10-11 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hard to miss a shriek like that! Hans wasn't even in the lobby, but he makes his way there at her scream.

Like a valiant prince, he bursts through the doors! And finds a clothing rack? Um?
]

I heard shouting! Is someone hurt?
rockthistown: (nagisa hatedom's still around?)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-11 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
[She flattens against the wall and swallows hard.]


I don't know any Peter! Especially not one who kidnaps people. Is this really Harmonia? I thought it might be, but I don't remember actually going there yet.
trettende: (por primera vez hoy siento que se abrió)

[personal profile] trettende 2016-10-11 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
This must have been just shortly after. You mentioned that your sister had spent years shutting you out.

[ If Elsa doesn't treat her poorly, how is Hans supposed to take advantage of her sadness? Hans looks deeply concerned. ]

Are you sure you haven't hit your head?
rockthistown: (not the main character anymore...)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-11 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
I woke up in a strange place with a bunch of people I don't know! I didn't want anyone to see me!
dechagny: (gonna have a bad time)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-11 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
I've seen enough of it to know it's completely suspect-

[Dooooodging the hook, Christ on a cracker, whose bright idea was it to implement hooks as prosthetics??]

That - the writer - sees fit to call us actors!
rockthistown: (okay never mind that)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-11 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[With all these people noticing (not that it's hard), Hime is busted... She comes out and sighs, albeit still clinging to her clothes rack.]

I was just surprised to be here already...
trettende: (por primera vez hoy siento que se abrió)

[personal profile] trettende 2016-10-11 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hans throws up his hands defensively. ]

I never said I'd approve, I'm just stating a fact.

[ It's a crime, okay!! ]

I'm a prince-- it seems like there are more than a few princesses here as well. Doesn't that seem strange to you?
sunshineprincess: (♥ Before we learn how to fly)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Embassy?] I don't know how they would have gotten past all the guards at my sisters coronation!
