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.

They do...indeed?

[There's a question mark there. Why you talk old timey.]
rockthistown: (someone shut up the neighbours)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-11 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
It looks like one! And I was supposed to be going to one, just... probably not this one because we've been kidnapped and that was not what anybody was planning.

Well, no doubt that they have selected some lucky individuals, if they have chosen Captain Hook to be amongst their ranks.

[a sneer, as he completely ignores the pirate king's obvious misgivings with "boy"]

Oh, don't worry, I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.
lifegoalsorwifegoals: ('cause you're really my dearest friend)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-11 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no, sir, you misunderstand me! [She smiles and waves a hand.] Escape is the foremost thing on my mind as well, or at least understanding just what's going on here. I simply wondered what our mysterious captor's intent could be...and worry about the implications of boarded windows.
robitussin: (or if they just fake it)

[personal profile] robitussin 2016-10-11 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Although I'm guessing the fact that they haven't shown up yet means we're dealing with a cryptic asshole who isn't going to be very helpful.
blackstache: (017)

[personal profile] blackstache 2016-10-11 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[he squints, and kneels down to read it, before looking back up at the man.]

I see that you too have misgivings with the information written inside this horrid paper.
dontfeedplants: (What am I saying?)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-11 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Seymour awkwardly gets back up.]

I-it's okay; and sorry, I don't know what we're doing here either.
sunshineprincess: (♠ Leads you)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Castle. We have a huge library there, even though I've read most of the over and over again. Thirteen years of being stuck on one place does that to a person.

[Well sorry she's from a magical, made up place that is totally real to her.]

Well... what else would kidnappers do?
trettende: (dónde siempre haya una fiesta)

[personal profile] trettende 2016-10-11 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh jeez, yep, Hans will definitely try to help Seymour up! Come on, little man. ]

It's alright. This isn't the most well-lit room, either. It's easy to lose one's footing sometimes.
onthebusagain: (and heather)

costumes room

[personal profile] onthebusagain 2016-10-11 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[A room full of clothes? It's practically screaming Heather's name. She stands in the doorway and peers in, smiling ear to ear. ]

Wow! Look at all the choices! Anything good?
blackstache: (020)

[personal profile] blackstache 2016-10-11 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[swoggle me eyes, hook almost forgets to speak while he's trying to take in those freaking sideburns.]

Aye, I'm afraid so. They're no doubt trying to ruin me reputation! Of course, once I "speak" to the person who wrote this garbage, I'm sure their tune will change.
rockthistown: (did we end up on tv again)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-11 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Nobody does! This isn't the embassy and I can't find my friends anywhere! [whine... and sigh] There's just all these strangers...
sunshineprincess: (♥ Before we learn how to fly)

[Great Britain?]

Don't you mean Britannia?
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (And I'll)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-11 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
It's far from a funny one, that's for sure, hm? [An apologetic smile.] I don't think we'd be so lucky.

There must be a way out of here that isn't that. There has to be.

[She's 100% ready to get out of here back to her husband and sisters but she is not down for murder.]
trettende: (y tú estés junto a mí)

[personal profile] trettende 2016-10-11 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
I think a kidnapping makes as much sense as any other theory. What's a "Precure?"

[ Agreeing with you, see. ]

Nothing here seems to make sense at all. The lights, the booklets, the stage...
sunshineprincess: (♠ It's been fun but now)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[She will have to find pants! Asap!]

Only in the winter. It gets so cold that the harbor starts freezing! I love it. I used to have so much fun playing in the snow when I was little.
blackstache: (016)

[personal profile] blackstache 2016-10-11 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed. Then perhaps we're forced to wait for our captor to show up to find a way out of this pla- oh, swoggle me eyes. What am I saying?

My dear, have you seen anything that might allow for a quick exit? Bombs, guns, structural weakpoints, something that would allow us to pick locks. Speak up.
trettende: (y por fin te encontré a ti)

[personal profile] trettende 2016-10-11 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ Look, he didn't say anything about your ridiculous stache, I would say we're quite even! ]

And what reputation might that be, if I may ask, Mr... Hook?
sunshineprincess: (♥ 'Cause your future's)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[When she lets go, Anna tilts her head.] Are you okay?
irreprochable: (sept)

[personal profile] irreprochable 2016-10-11 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[he waits, dutifully, like the good cop that he is and then after she gives him an indication she's dressed, he opens the door and nods slightly.]

That is a very nice color.

[it's a little stiff but he's trying]
robitussin: (there will be light)

[personal profile] robitussin 2016-10-11 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Are we talking, like, some Rapunzel situation going on here? I mean, you were allowed to leave, right?

[Sadly, her life has been sorely lacking in Disney Princess tropes, so she pauses for a moment in surprise once more.]

I don't think I've ever heard about someone kidnapping a group of people for a trust exercise. Usually it's not as nice as that.
rockthistown: (leave before they see us)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-11 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
N-no! Well, uh, the place where you're supposed to buy tickets is closed, but maybe when it opens...
sunshineprincess: (♠ At the mountains)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
I was going to ask... but she started singing.

[So that thought went out the window.]

The people, those rooms we're in, and those titles? Oh! [Anna flips through her booklet and stops on a page.] This doesn't say what a Precure is either.
irreprochable: (dix)

[personal profile] irreprochable 2016-10-11 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
There are ways of forcing out answers from people.
