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.

[She's older than she looks. Probably. Maybe.]

Y'know, the soda? Or Ovaltine. I'll take Ovaltine.
littlegirl_littlecurl: (Not impressed)

[Shrug.] I've heard some names once or twice, but I don't have to remember these kinds of things.

[These kinds of things meaning people who don't work for her and roles she doesn't play.]

How did we get here anyway?
rockthistown: (not the main character anymore...)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope we can get out soon... None of my friends are in here at all.
rockthistown: (something something happy world)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
The music country? The king there is named Mephisto! I know his daughter, Aco-chan.
rockthistown: (what does that have to do with it)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I have no idea! How could they even kidnap us? Most of us had security.
aflatouttahell: (02)

[personal profile] aflatouttahell 2016-10-12 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't even heard of that, so... no, sorry. Just a family last name that sounds kind of the same.
aflatouttahell: (05)

[personal profile] aflatouttahell 2016-10-12 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[i'm so sorry she's into this]

Yeah! And hey, you never know, maybe your crew will have figured it out and he'll be tied up waiting for you when you get back or something.

I mean... there are theaters, but I can't think of anywhere in Hell someone could keep me for long without dad knowing.

[!!!!!!!]

Are you telling me that you're... an orphan?

[that is what he just said, yes.]
catliketread: (☠ IN SILENCE DREAD)

[personal profile] catliketread 2016-10-12 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Japan! I've never met someone from Japan. Don't concern yourself with it! I meant no disrespect either; if it is a term you use where you're from then you're free to use it with me and I will not question it again!

[. . .]

For politeness's sake, is there some proper way I should address you?

[listen, he may be a pirate, but he is only rude sometimes]

[personal profile] catliketread 2016-10-12 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[.............]

I've not heard of God giving people powers before. Do you have these powers?

[?????????]

[RAOUL NO........]

Frederic was from some fancy house as well, which made it incredibly strange that he would be apprenticed to a pirate. But! It really was for the best!

[...it was a mistake, please do not repeat the mistake.]

[are you kidding this makes her his favorite person here t b h]

'Twould be a glorious return indeed! I believe Samuel would have no problems picking out a fake. And Frederic! Frederic could never be so easily tricked by an impostor!

[just wait for the memory regain]
lifegoalsorwifegoals: the world to me (nothing you'd miss but it means)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-12 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes... Neither are...mine, so far. I was hoping one of these rooms would have her name, but. Well, seeing her face would...be a comfort.

[D-ne sighs.]

Ah, but there's little we can do? Except explore.
aflatouttahell: (03)

[personal profile] aflatouttahell 2016-10-12 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[EXCUSE?]

I'll be careful. These are actually pretty small for horns.
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (Who am I meant to BE ?)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-12 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
You would- with me?

[For the first time, she looks taken aback. Give her a moment.]

...I'm just used to my name, and you're my elder, so...no, D-ne will do just fine. [The kind smile that's constantly present on her face seems somehow a bit...kinder. A touch grounded.] I appreciate your asking, Pirate King-san.
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (ღ 'cause you're really my dearest friend)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-12 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Beam!]

Oh, I can imagine! It puts my worries at ease, though, to hear you say so.

[memory regains are gonna be rough on a lot of people here]

Like you said, who could possibly play you well enough to fool people?
catliketread: (☠ WHILE THE HOUSEHOLD SOUNDLY SLEEPS)

[personal profile] catliketread 2016-10-12 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course! There's no need to be rude!

["Pirate King-san" will always sound a little weird, but he can roll with it. It's fiiiiiine.]

D-ne, then! What an interesting name!
catliketread: (☠ SO STEALTHILY THE PIRATE CREEPS)

[personal profile] catliketread 2016-10-12 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
No one! No actor could possibly take the "role" of Pirate King! There's nothing to be concerned with; my crew simply won't allow a fake to take my place!

[DRAMATIC POINT how did we circle around to this so fast, this is ridic]
dontfeedplants: (No way forget it)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-12 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
... Yes?

[Wasn't that obvious?]
sunshineprincess: (♥ Ready to shine)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-12 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It's hard not to! Everyone here is so friendly. Well... the one's I've met at least.

[There might be a bad apple or two?]
sunshineprincess: (♠ Can I see you again?)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-12 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure I can't take the place of your crew, but I know we can find a song to sing together.

[It is an opera house. May as well sing!]
sunshineprincess: (♠ Welcome to the rhythm)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-12 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's not that she doesn't like these clothes, they're just... not what she's used to. And the boots? Okay, those are cute. Made for winter obviously.]

Yes. My sister was crowned queen!
sunshineprincess: (♠ I've got to go)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-12 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods.] Of course!
