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.

Eh? O-o-oh! [stupid!!! embarrassing!!!] I-it's a sign of respect, for one's elders or those you aren't well acquainted with, in Japan. It is the equivalent of "Mister" or "Missus." Sorry for the confusion!
rockthistown: (this jamjar doesn't even have internet)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
This is the most complicated kidnapping I've ever seen.
rockthistown: (stop playing with the thermostat)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
W-well, yes, but we can't fight back if they took all our stuff, right...
rockthistown: (what does that have to do with it)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Then it's okay if I call you by your name, too?
rockthistown: (is that really gonna work)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
You mean, trying to spread misfortune?
rockthistown: (chicken riot after this nap)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
I guess not. It just sort of happens. God gives powers to whoever he wants, if they have the right heart for it.
rockthistown: (leave before they see us)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
What does that have to do with anybody's hair colour?

[Hime might be staring. And then ducking back behind the clothes rack again because why this.]
rockthistown: (told you this was weird)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
They've got our stuff hidden somewhere too, I'm sure! Anything we could use to get out if we had it!
rockthistown: (is that really gonna work)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'm from another country, and I'm living in the embassy, why?
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (i'll put a spell on you)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-12 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, there are...a few things I'd like back. [She narrows her eyes, smile not leaving.] If we can locate them, I can fix the situation.
rockthistown: (with THOSE shoes?)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Hime's eyes widen, then narrow, and she lowers her voice to a stage whisper.]

Were you invited to Harmonia, too? The "39 Fairies" celebration?
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (ღ 'cause you're really my dearest friend)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-12 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
I have no idea whatsoever what that is?
trettende: (tu y yo juntos hasta el fin)

even html hates hans

[personal profile] trettende 2016-10-12 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ Just as keikaku ]

Exactly, it's ridiculous to think so! They're just trying to sew seeds of discord, I'm sure.
rockthistown: (this is why people think you're erika)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, then you're not -- but you sounded like -- never mind! [She shoves the garment rack all the way back into her room and laughs nervously.] A-anyway! We could get out if we found our things, door or no door, right? Like-- like a phone! With cell reception! You can call 119 no matter what, right?
trettende: (y por fin te encontré a ti)

[personal profile] trettende 2016-10-12 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
It could be. Does that sound like anyone you know?
rockthistown: (hope is a scary thing)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't that what they're usually after when you see villains on the news?
lifegoalsorwifegoals: that you don't know of (but there's a few things)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-12 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Blink, head tilt...and smile.]

Hmmm, you are an interesting person, Hime-san. That's what I've decided. Yes, it's something like that, something, ah, of that sort!
rockthistown: (not the main character anymore...)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
I hope you mean something nice by that...

[She shrinks away like she's wilting.]
dechagny: (mild disgust)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-12 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
...Have you...seen more than one kidnapping?
dechagny: (mild disgust)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-12 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes it does! Good job, you get a gold star.]

I feel the same - this isn't exactly a pleasure trip by any means.
rockthistown: (maybe i might have screwed up)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
There was the one time with the tapirs... But that's not important right now! We need to figure out what we're going to do!
solomonjihad: (absolutely a normal human!)

[personal profile] solomonjihad 2016-10-12 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Haha. Astarte's Lilith is anything but.]

The Underworld...does it normally have a place like this?
dechagny: (just got introduced through song)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-12 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[He laughs, definitely bashful now. HAHAH, yeah, he's definitely crushing on Christine, but does she feel the same? She has full right to rebuke him, if he gets the chance to see her again.]

Well! There was...something, when we were young, but it's been many years. She may have plans of her own! I was thinking more of the color of the scarf I retrieved for her from the sea.
dechagny: (is not a total douchebag)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-12 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Ah...[He's gonna turn a couple of pages until he finds Astarte.] Miss...Astarte, here. She said that some of her belongings had been stolen from her.

[Not gonna mention the clothes thing because she's a lady, but...]

Clearly it is not as drastic as what has happened to you, sir, but to me, all of this is cause for great concern.
dechagny: (cannot believe)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-12 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[He's just...shaking his head. Common telephones? "Cell" telephones? And what the devil is a computer?]

I'm afraid, miss, that you've lost me completely. I've not heard of a computer before.
