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.

Quite so. I hope to do much the same myself.

[ Hans nods, totally agreeing with Raoul. I mean, these people totally ruined his engagement with Anna, he's not going to stand for this. ]

I am Prince Hans, [ he bows, always proper, ] of the Southern Isles. It is a pleasure to meet you, all circumstances aside.
solomonjihad: (well I don't know...)

[personal profile] solomonjihad 2016-10-11 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
...No...not that I can think of...but...

[Patting herself down. Yeah.]

...I'm missing things.
trettende: (y por fin te encontré a ti)

[personal profile] trettende 2016-10-11 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Not surprising, not everyone is a prince. ]

Not to mention the fact that the information is... not exactly flattering for some of us.

[ Dang, that would be one super fast printing press! What is modern technology? ]

There has to be some reason behind it all.
dechagny: (is not a total douchebag)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-11 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
So they've stolen from you as well?

[Raoul shakes his head, then begins to pat himself down. Hmmm...no opera glasses, no gloves, no tickets to Hannibal...but these are relatively incidental things to take.]

...I'm afraid you are not the only one, but I'm not sure what a kidnapper would want with ticket stubs and gloves.
dechagny: (here to help)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-11 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Whoa, another royal? And from another place he's never heard of - nevertheless, Raoul bows in turn.]

The pleasure is mine, Your Majesty. I am the Viscount de Chagny, and I wish we could have made acquaintance in a better situation.
dechagny: (stopping some raptors)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-11 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[A nod - no hurting anyone solidarity!]

Let's hope, then, that leaving is as simple as unlocking a door.

[personal profile] solomonjihad 2016-10-11 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
...Or my school clothing...

[This is...just weird. Really weird...]
dechagny: (will smugly concede)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-11 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[...This just got like 75% more creepy. Who is this guy, where is he, can Raoul please punch him for assaulting ladies.]

In...any case...I do hope you are able to get your belongings returned to you.

[ So nice when someone actually treats him like a prince ;o; Being thirteenth is so hard... ]

I fully understand. This trouble we find ourselves in is far from the palace I'm used to, but I will do my best to try and assist us in getting out of it.
solomonjihad: (well I don't know...)

[personal profile] solomonjihad 2016-10-11 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
You too...were you here for this place?

[Because tickets, right?]
solomonjihad: (maybe I can be friends!)

[personal profile] solomonjihad 2016-10-11 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
..Ah! Yes, let's try them.

[She starts to walk. Let's find stuff! A way out!!]
solomonjihad: (well I don't know...)

[personal profile] solomonjihad 2016-10-11 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
...Well, I know I'm not an actress...

[The pamphlet is kind of weird. Also do you need help getting those papers off the hook?? She is looking at it, trying to figure that out.]
sunshineprincess: (♥ It's been fun)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Do they want us to just improvise?

[There's one she's checking out now that certainly is not Hans.]

I know! I make sure all of my clothes are neat and my hair is nicely done. If anything, they probably... mean when I was little or something.
sunshineprincess: (♥ Ready to shine)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I'll stick to Hime. It's cute!
sunshineprincess: (♠ Oh oh oh oh)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's so exciting. Will someone write a story about Anna one day? No... she's too boring.]

It'd explain my clothes. I don't remember ever wearing these. I know I was in my coronation gown standing next to my sister. [... OH NO SHE'S HOPING THIS KIDNAPPER WAS A WOMAN OTHERWISE THIS WOULD BE A SCANDAL AND SHE COULD NEVER GET MARRIED]
sunshineprincess: (♠ Oh)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
... what's the future like?

[Is it all as sad as your life?]

Oh! That's great! You must have sold so many flowers! Like roses, or peonies, or daisies... they all sound so nice right now.
sunshineprincess: (♠ Leads you)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! Except yours seems... a little rude.

[More than a little rude.]
sunshineprincess: (♠ Leads you)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
One day I hope I can see that. Sure, it's means I'd have to leave my country for a while... but it would be worth it! [Once in a lifetime opportunity? She wants to leave Arendelle so badly sometimes.

She's thinking.]


Sounds about right.
sunshineprincess: (♥ 'Till then)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Raising her hands, she shakes her head.]

No, it's alright. It happened a few years ago.
sunshineprincess: (♥ And hit the road)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[That sounds so sad...]

I'm sorry. That sounds awful.
trettende: (dónde siempre haya una fiesta)

[personal profile] trettende 2016-10-11 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright! Sounds good.

[ Very much a doer, isn't she. ]

I think there may have been some doors in the lobby that I haven't tried?
trettende: (siempre estamos sincronizados)

[personal profile] trettende 2016-10-11 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose? I can't imagine what they'll get out of it though.

[ His just says he tries real hard and is unloved and unnoticed, how could u forget him Anna :'((( ]

Don't take it personally, Anna. We shouldn't put too much value on the opinion of whoever wrote this-- they're obviously the ones behind this entire mess.
onthebusagain: (Or forget that creep)

[personal profile] onthebusagain 2016-10-11 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Jesus! My pores look so bad! [ Important things first.

Then she falls quiet as she reads her own entry, cheeks heating up. Mean on command? She can be mean on her own! She's quick to shove it back at him, wordless humiliation and anger burning in her.

Not surprised, but I am stuck. I wouldn't be here, if I wasn't. [Heather gives him a good look, up and down. Gotta assess the population properly- and it's not like she's going to read that shit magazine after all the rude things it said about her. ]
dechagny: (is not a total douchebag)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-11 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head.] Not this place. I had just attended a production at the Opéra Populaire, and though I do not know it intimately, I know that this is not that same opera house.
