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.

Books you found here somewhere, or books from your... palace or whatever?

[A pause as she grows more skeptical.]

Also, why would they bring us here for a trust exercise?
irreprochable: (neuf)

[personal profile] irreprochable 2016-10-11 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
And try and obtain the answers we seek in the process.

[they could all jump the guy, right?]

[He does make some good points. Hmm...]

We don't have electricity where I'm from, so maybe... way early in the past?

[When was electricity invented?]

You don't even have money for an investor?

My dear girl, I've never heard of such a place in all of my life!

[He lets out a loud chortle, drawing back a bit.]

Certainly a long ways off from Neverland.

Great Britain, of course! It's a town located in the southwest, obviously near the shore. Lovely place, wonderful people who are very afraid of pirates. For good reason!

D-ne. [because that's a normal name right] I would say it's a pleasure to meet you, but...
inforapenny: (anyways)

[personal profile] inforapenny 2016-10-11 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, I-I'm hoping it's some kind of a joke... You know, ha ha, joke's on us...

...Getting involved with fairies is never a good idea. I've never heard of Harmonia, though. Where is it located?

[She gets an equally dismissive pamphlet.]

Yes, the pamphlet. The pamphlet and all of it's lies and misgivings and utter nonsense contained within!
rockthistown: (maybe i might have screwed up)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-11 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
You mean, where you're from? Then who knows where we are... [deflates] Maybe it's on the signs.
catliketread: (☠ IN SILENCE DREAD)

[personal profile] catliketread 2016-10-11 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Come now, what's with the reluctance? Surely you don't believe anyone would fall for such a silly joke!

[Don't worry, he won't invade your personal space again. FOR NOW??]

[this man gets more suspicious as time goes on!!]

They bode ill for what will come to pass here.
rockthistown: (leave before they see us)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-11 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
But we've been kidnapped and it's not a pleasure at all! [She finishes, wailing.] The doors out won't even work or anything!

I am not from Neverland. I was last docked in Neverland. I hate Neverland.

[james sneers, bringing the hook up to his chin as he taps it in thought.]

Where would those signs be, perchance?
sunshineprincess: (♥ Switch on the sky)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
TV? [What is a TV? Oh, all of this is really confusing... Anna is going to go crazy at this rate!

Oh no... After the song Anna walks over and hugs Hime.]


It's okay. We'll find a way out of here!
rockthistown: (blush blush blush)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-11 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
You don't like fairies? [blinkblink] That's kind of... I don't actually know. I was just going to go along with everybody else.

[ Well, at least the "Hook" part was accurate? Hans had just been (mostly trying to) read the playbill in this awful light when Hook storms out. ]

Have they printed lies about you too?

[ Calling him "unwanted" and "unnoticed," how dare they. ]
rockthistown: (is that really gonna work)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-11 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Probably all over. This is a theatre, right? Don't they have pamphlets and things?

That's very kind of you, sir, thank you. [Give her like ten minutes and she'll have actual clothes on and they can have an actual conversation with eye contact and everything.]
inforapenny: (what's the phrase)

[personal profile] inforapenny 2016-10-11 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
[He's probably not the best person to ask because he thinks she'd look cute in anything but.]

"Arendelle?" I've...never heard of that before. Is it, uh, cold there?
dontfeedplants: (You know the book doesn't lie)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-11 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Well I hope you like men literally falling over Hans because that's what's happening right now.]

S-sorry about that, I swear sometimes I'm too clumsy for my own good.
rockthistown: (can we not do that)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-11 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Hug. Hug from stranger. ???????? Hime.exe needs to reboot, the most you're getting out of her is an "urk" and a look of panic.]
inforapenny: (anyways)

[personal profile] inforapenny 2016-10-11 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, well, I want to believe no one would, but...

[But people are douchebags.]
sunshineprincess: (♠ We learn how to fly)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine!

[Anna nods, hands on her hips.]

I talked with Hime about it and a few others, and only Hime agrees with me. She's a princess, too, and something called a Precure.

...I was unaware that this locale was a theater. Oh, that is delightfully tacky.
