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.

Oh, hello. [Eliza gives her a small smile, that shifts into a slightly confused one when her eyes fall on Astarte's wardrobe.] It seems we're having the same wardrobe problems.
solomonjihad: (...never mind)

[personal profile] solomonjihad 2016-10-15 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
...Oh.

[Wah wah wah]
robitussin: (do i just disappear)

[personal profile] robitussin 2016-10-15 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
That's another thing. I mean...

[She gestures to the pamphlet as well.]

Do you see a pattern between all of us? Because I don't.
solomonjihad: (absolutely a normal human!)

[personal profile] solomonjihad 2016-10-15 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Ah...yes, I...

J[She shifts uncomfortably in her clothing.]

This is a bit...I don't remember putting it on.
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (jenny‚ darling‚ you're my best friend ♥)

[OH MY GOD I MEET YOU WITH THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE]

I hope your positive attitude can carry us there, then.
breakingbread: (bread dad is disappoint)

[personal profile] breakingbread 2016-10-15 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Not at all.

[He'll take a second to make sure he's okay - he seems physically fine anyway - and then let him go.]

No one can blame you for being distracted. I take it you've just woken up here as well?
breakingbread: (bread dad cannot believe)

[personal profile] breakingbread 2016-10-15 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Sure, but he's never stolen anyone's face in the process. That's not even possible, as far as he's aware.]

Strange.

[...well, that about exhausts his ideas for Conversations With Javert. This is a situation he generally tries to avoid.]
breakingbread: (bread dad is unyielding)

[personal profile] breakingbread 2016-10-15 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
[bitch welcome to his life]

Perhaps. These look well-constructed, but they could possibly be pried up along the edges of the wall, there...though of course, we'd best save that for a last resort.
breakingbread: (bread dad looks to god)

[personal profile] breakingbread 2016-10-15 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
And where is that?

[He can't think of anyplace likely to have such things as commonalities...]
aflatouttahell: (02)

[personal profile] aflatouttahell 2016-10-15 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
O-Oh. Is that all?
breakingbread: (bread dad wonders about you)

[personal profile] breakingbread 2016-10-15 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Microwaves?

[WELCOME TO THE 1800S AHAHAHAHA]
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (I'll be)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-15 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
One suspect, and not the type, then.

Well, it's always possible for otherworldly forces to be at play too, so who really knows what could have happened to us.

[....why are you just SAYING that]
breakingbread: (bread dad outside)

[personal profile] breakingbread 2016-10-15 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't met him yet, here. If he looks the way this pamphlet claims, I can't imagine how - it has been years, but he cannot have changed that much.

[People don't just grow new faces. That would have been too helpful, in his life.]

I don't know why they would try to portray someone else as him. They know all these other things; how could they not know we are acquainted?
rockthistown: (groaaaaaaaan)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-15 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Me neither! You'd think it would be obvious that we were getting kidnapped.
allicareabout: (EHHH Δ it's not going to pay for itself)

[personal profile] allicareabout 2016-10-15 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
...You think it's magic.

[WELL, OKAY THEN.]
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (i've been watching your world from afar)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-15 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
You think they could be planning something?
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (Like I'm REAL)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-15 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Nod!]

Just that.

[well that's that then i am so sorry jez]
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (ღ i don't know how to say this)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-15 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
[...uh oh]

You're unfamiliar...?
breakingbread: (bread dad outside)

[personal profile] breakingbread 2016-10-15 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
There seem to be quite a few things here I'm unfamiliar with.

[so yep]
rockthistown: (okay never mind that)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-15 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
You mean like how the rules are in every room?
rockthistown: (leave before they see us)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-15 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
That's not-- [shutting up] I just hope this doesn't get any worse.
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (jenny take my hand)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-15 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
I believe we can't discount the occult.

[Read her bio my dude this girl has weird hobbies]
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (stealing your stuff now and then)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-15 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[.....WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS???]

Microwaves heat food, Valjean-san.
rockthistown: (with... what's the rest of the saying?)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-15 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Although that only became public recently, at least where I was at.
