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.

[Aw shit son] It is the location that is less than a pleasure, not the people, in my opinion.

[A nod. Well, if you find truth in yours, sir, that's your business. But that other bit of information is strange.] A different picture, you say? That is highly unusual. Do you suppose the man truly is who he says he is?
dechagny: (mild disgust)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-14 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Raoul has no idea. He's willing to try anything, though. Surely there's got to be some future stuff squirreled away somewhere that can help, right?]

And find it we shall, I'm certain of that.
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (And I FEEL COMPLETELY)

oh my gosh how did this tag get lost!

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-14 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
That, ah, appears to be the case for many here. [She appears flustered but smiles.] If absolutely necessary, I can speak differently, but I'm- I try to be a very polite person, you see.
dechagny: (just got introduced through song)

shh its okay

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-14 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, no, on the contrary, speak as you wish! If it's polite, then by all means, go ahead.

[Raoul will never deny someone else their manners, so long as they ARE manners.]
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (i wanna ruin our friendship)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-14 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[sick because she wasn't actually going to stop either way]

Then Raoul-san you'll be. So many of these names are, I must say, a little troubling, but I'll...well, hopefully I won't have to get the hang of it, but if it comes to that...
irreprochable: (quinze)

[silence falls between them. this has been a really beautiful duet between two frechmen. the audience is probably shedding one single tear. the silence lingers for a moment longer, before, finally;]

If you need anything, feel free to seek out Javert.

[Yes but Seymour tends to be overly trusting.]

Me too, I probably couldn't kill a guy if my life depended on it.

[He will probably regret saying that in a few weeks.]
dechagny: (here to help)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-14 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[They have been moved, it is true.]

I shall, indeed. [A tip of the head, in respect to you Monsieur.]
dechagny: (is not a total douchebag)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-14 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you will do splendidly.

[She's already making an effort to be polite so in Raoul's book, she wins. A+ for you D-ne.]
littlegirl_littlecurl: (Curl twirl)

Well, I goofed that last tag up ;u;

[personal profile] littlegirl_littlecurl 2016-10-14 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ain't that the question!"

[Pause...]

"Y'know, I've never been kidnapped before. They must have done something crazy since I dont even remember it happening."
sunshineprincess: (♠ We learn how to fly)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-14 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hands on her hips, Anna stands as tall as possible.]

I, Anna or Arendelle, promise to not kill anyone! Even if it means I could get out of here.
littlegirl_littlecurl: (Smug)

[personal profile] littlegirl_littlecurl 2016-10-14 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, she is little. And a girl.

She seems to be handling this all much better than you, buddy. So she just pats him on the leg again, all consoling like.]


"Dont worry bout it, sweetcheeks."
onthebusagain: (These two depend on you)

[personal profile] onthebusagain 2016-10-14 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that a religious thing?
littlegirl_littlecurl: (roll any harder and theyll fall out)

[personal profile] littlegirl_littlecurl 2016-10-14 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[......]

"Yeah. Says so right there in your book."

[Look at her face. She’s offended. You offended her.]

"... You don't look like a lawyer."

allicareabout: (INFORM Δ look if jesus christ had $5000)

[personal profile] allicareabout 2016-10-14 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[...He's probably going to be calling you something like Dinah or Donna for the rest of the game, I'm so sorry.]

And you're not injured or anything, right?

[Again, it's asked more for pragmatic reasons than concern, but still.]
allicareabout: (EHHH Δ it's not going to pay for itself)

[personal profile] allicareabout 2016-10-14 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[...He is not entirely sure what he is expected to do with that information, but all right.]

...Sure, kid. What do you think a lawyer's supposed to look like?
allicareabout: (GENDO Δ get on the witness stand andy)

[personal profile] allicareabout 2016-10-14 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Best-case scenario, sure. They don't seem all that subtle around here.
allicareabout: (GENDO Δ get on the witness stand andy)

[personal profile] allicareabout 2016-10-14 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Through the power of teamwork and good old-fashioned human ingenuity? Probably.

[Well, at least we're all keeping...reasonably...optimistic right now, albeit in a kind of "what the hell other options do we have" sort of way.]

Although tools wouldn't hurt anything. There've got to be closets around here somewhere, come on.
littlegirl_littlecurl: (The moo-cows went!)

[personal profile] littlegirl_littlecurl 2016-10-14 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[If she finds Ovaltine later, you're gonna have some. She doesn't share but you can have your own cup.

At the Coke discovery, she grins and hold out her hands. Gimmie gimmie gimmie.]


"Why, thank you~!"
sunshineprincess: (♥ Go see the world)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-14 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
A religious thing?

[What the heck are you talking about? How is a princess a religious thing?]
catliketread: (☠ TRUCE TO NAVIGATION)

[personal profile] catliketread 2016-10-14 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Well you certainly can't blame the kidnapping on yourself. Would you blame me for getting kidnapped? Seymour? No! So do not blame yourself for something you could not prevent!

[...that is not what she was saying, but okay.]
catliketread: (☠ SO STEALTHILY THE PIRATE CREEPS)

[personal profile] catliketread 2016-10-14 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Poor Raoul. He suffers so much.]

That it does! He will surely be a fine pirate for many years to come!
lifegoalsorwifegoals: ('cause you're really my dearest friend)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-14 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. That there, ah, are such kind people here, it ah...reassures me.

[You know there's some letter joke to be made about how even though she's a D she still puts out A worth effort or something.]
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (stealing your stuff now and then)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-14 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Between her and the Piratr King, giving people other names, wow Billy.]

No, I'm completely unharmed.

[Frankly that kind of honesty is refreshing, tbh]

...You as well?

[She seems to ask that as an afterthought.]

[Look, he is very much of the Ron Swanson school of thought when it comes to names.]

Not a scratch on me, kid. So whoever brought us here probably didn't do it while we were kicking and screaming.
