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.

As of yesterday, yes. [Newlywed in the opera haus.] It's a pleasure, Inspector. [Despite the circumstances.]

Just the perimeter. There's like, tons of rooms, but I haven't looked in all of them yet.

I was going to, but someone bumped into me... [Let it go, Heather.]
onthebusagain: (and heather)

[personal profile] onthebusagain 2016-10-13 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
For real? Like a foreign exchange student?

I was hoping it might be a clue to where we were.
onthebusagain: (These two depend on you)

[personal profile] onthebusagain 2016-10-13 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
[The tiniest eyeroll] Well, you didn't know what a grocery store was, how was I supposed to know? Not knowing what food is sounds more reasonable than being from the past.
onthebusagain: (Or forget that creep)

[personal profile] onthebusagain 2016-10-13 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Really? You've never been to see a show? That's what this place looks like.
dontfeedplants: (My future's starting)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-13 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
I guess we should... God I hope they're not too mean...

[Seymour...]
onthebusagain: (These two depend on you)

[personal profile] onthebusagain 2016-10-13 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
That's like, super kind of you, even if nothing in there is true.
sunshineprincess: (♠ I've got to go)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-13 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
California?

[That sounds even more interesting than Arendelle.]

It is! If I could show you, I would.
sunshineprincess: (♥ When can I see you again?)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-13 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
So you're a really good person!
dontfeedplants: (My future's starting)

So I sure did accidentally delete this tag

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-13 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Finally Seymour wins something.]

I guess it could be worse? Whenever I've seen kidnappings in movies they always seem a lot more... dangerous, than this.

[Like seriously, this living situation already seems better than Skid Row.]
dontfeedplants: (They say the meek gonna get it)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-13 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
H-how would that be possible? There has to be someone who's behind this.
dontfeedplants: (You know the book doesn't lie)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-13 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
No, I've never seen a theater like this before.]

[Look at him, Heather. He looks like he can't even afford a ticket to a high school production of a musical.]
sunshineprincess: (• There'll be music)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-13 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[She huffs louder now, hands on her hips.] You're really rude!
sunshineprincess: (• I'll be dancing)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-13 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Me too. I just want t go home.
rockthistown: (okay never mind that)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-13 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. [nervous shuffle] I guess I named myself after a fairy tale because my real name was too long, so sometimes names are sort of like that.
rockthistown: (our ice cream. oh no)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-13 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Of course he does! Where do you think magic comes from?

[because clearly it comes from god throwing rocks at people]

I-it's not something I'd be able to talk about if I did, right?
dontfeedplants: (No way forget it)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-13 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Me too... [He sighs. Dammit, of course the one time he has actual luck it gets snuffed out in an instant.]

At... at least we're not alone?
rockthistown: (now we're bffs)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-13 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Her? Do you mean your friend or something like that? Your sister? [gasp] Your girlfriend?
rockthistown: (could we have one day without someone dr)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-13 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
A-a-- [She takes a deep breath and forces it out.] Anna! [covers her face] I'm okay with that!
rockthistown: (told you this was weird)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-13 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's different depending on where you're from? I know the Blue Sky Kingdom isn't very similar to Japan.
rockthistown: (iS ANYBODY LISTENING TO ME)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-13 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Always! And then the next time you look, it gets even more complicated!
rockthistown: (but at least i know the canon?)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-13 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Basically! It used to be a little more complicated. I don't know if there's anything we all have in common that would lead us here. Most of us would have had security.
aflatouttahell: (06)

[personal profile] aflatouttahell 2016-10-13 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
I guess so. What's your really long name, then?
bestof: (pic#10610001)

[personal profile] bestof 2016-10-13 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
A few.

[She pulls out another costume dress.

...Eliza's definition of "good" might differ dramatically from Heather's.]
onthebusagain: (Go braid her hair)

[personal profile] onthebusagain 2016-10-13 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
What? Are you mad at me?
