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 very famous, okay?]

"I dunno. Sneakier, I guess." [Shrug]
"I don't have a lawyer."

[Sorry, she's an actress not a bartender, so there's no help there so she can just make it worse.]

"What, you've never been kidnapped before?"
aflatouttahell: (12)

[personal profile] aflatouttahell 2016-10-15 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, I see. And what are the names of the others?

[I mean look they're not necessarily doomed but it's an occult research club, like. Jez knows how this goes.]
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (ღ i don't know how to say this)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-15 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
[This is so far from what she expected asked uh okay um]

Ah... A-ya, B-ko, and C-ta.

[yep]

"They must've been real quiet, too. Maybe they put something in our food!"
aflatouttahell: (01)

[personal profile] aflatouttahell 2016-10-15 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[EASY TO REMEMBER, ANYWAY.]

So what else do you do in your club, besides Kokkuri-san?
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (i'm using your shirt as a pillow case)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-15 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
Kokkuri-san's only the one- ...two? Two times. Mostly we just...discuss urban legends and rumors, from the area.

It's good fun.

[yup this sure is weird. on several levels. but here he can use an old standby:]

When this is all over, I will take you to justice.

Murder.

[as menacing as possible!!]

They wish for us to murder one another.
trettende: (y por fin te encontré a ti)

[personal profile] trettende 2016-10-15 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ I'd be here for this. ]

Oh? Why not? You don't have anyone at home who would worry for you if you disappeared?

[ No, really, don't you? COULD THEY BE KINDRED SPIRITS ]
dontfeedplants: (You know the book doesn't lie)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-15 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
W-well, I'm sure Audrey would notice that I'm gone, but I don't really know anyone who would have enough money to pay the ransom. Besides, I think Mr. Mushnik would think it would be too much work to try to get me back.

[So, half yes?

Almost bitterly, Seymour remembers the fact that if Audrey II lives for a few more days, they probably would get enough money to at least pay a few thousand dollars worth of ransom money.]
dontfeedplants: (By and by)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-15 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm from New York, but I think most places in the world has refrigerators.
dontfeedplants: (You know the book doesn't lie)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-15 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Murder?!

[Said almost equally as dramatic.]

But... but why? We have no reason to kill each other!
irreprochable: (Default)

[personal profile] irreprochable 2016-10-15 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
They are trying to come up with reasons why we should.
breakingbread: (bread dad is concerned)

[personal profile] breakingbread 2016-10-15 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, it's like an oven?

[don't feel like you have to go into mechanical detail m8 it's fine]
breakingbread: (bread dad outside)

[personal profile] breakingbread 2016-10-15 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
We certainly do not have any in Paris. Anyone with the fortune to own such a thing would surely not keep it a secret.
breakingbread: (bread dad is sad)

[personal profile] breakingbread 2016-10-15 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh good we're on this shit again]

Yes, I suppose you will, won't you? [He's so tired of this] But we will have to get out of this, first.
sunshineprincess: (♥ Switch on the sky)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-15 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sick people. That's who.]

I hope it's a joke. If it's not...

[She doesn't want to think about it.]
sunshineprincess: (♥ Ready to shine)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-15 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[???]

Sew you? But wouldn't that be painful?

Fear not, we shall make the best of our situation! It isn't even all that grim right now!
lifegoalsorwifegoals: that you don't know of (but there's a few things)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-15 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[hahahaha you saw my adventures in tf r3 huh it's fine that'd require d-ne to know how mechanical shit works anyway]

Yes, like an oven. A smaller, more instant oven.
breakingbread: (bread dad cannot believe)

[personal profile] breakingbread 2016-10-15 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? How can it be more instant?

[If your fire is too hot that's crazy unsafe?]
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (I'll be)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-15 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[she didn't expect to spend time teaching an out-of-touch old dude about microwaves but you know what why not]

Let me show you... Let's see. [yo do we have any instant foods around here my dude]
breakingbread: (bread dad)

[personal profile] breakingbread 2016-10-16 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[fuck yeah we do]

Thank you for taking the time.
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (ღ i don't know how to say this)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-16 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
[prepare to learn about microwaves with motherfucking hot pockets]

It's far simpler than you'd imagine. [Behold, the spinning heating thing] When this clock reaches zero, that will be ready to eat.
