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.

[Seymour was not unused to the idea of sleeping in a tiny room, but the first thing that’s off to Seymour was just how comfortable his bed was. He couldn't remember the last time he had trouble getting out of bed.

When Seymour finally takes in what this room is definitely not his basement, his slight off feeling changed to a feeling of concern. Suddenly he is hit with the realization that he doesn't actually remember falling asleep.

Really his confusion is the only thing that's preventing him from freaking out.

Soon he spots the booklet and flips through it in hopes to get some idea as to why he's here.

And… that sure is a picture of him right there.]


“Actor”? [Did someone want to make a play out of his life? No, that didn’t make any sense, he only had small fame with Audrey II so far. Definitely not enough success to justify anyone wanting to write a play about him.

Besides he thought sadly I’m not even that interesting

He soon slowly exited his room, still unsure whether this was just a dream or not, and seeing how grand the building he was in was, he was more convinced that he was dreaming. Skid Row never had its own theater, but even if it had one, it wouldn’t have been even half as grand as the building he was in right now.

So Seymour is just going to wander the building, agape at the scenery and not actually looking where he's going. There is a good chance he might accidentally run into you.

With no exaggeration he is going to bump into at least half of you guys from his dazed wandering.]

Oh-

[People bumping into Raoul is not something that happens often, but when this fellow does it in the Lobby, he's not angry or anything - he's a little startled, but is quick to regain his composure. This man's face isn't familiar to Raoul, not immediately - he's still getting his bearings with the program, though the glasses are very distinct - but his manner of dress is unusual.]

Ah, steady now, sir - are you alright?
dontfeedplants: (What am I saying?)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-10 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Seymour nearly toppled to the floor himself, only barely managing to prevent himself from lying on the floor. He shoots back up, looking very embarrassed with himself.]

I-I'm sorry, I should have been paying attention-

[Okay, the fact that this person wasn't immediately cross with Seymour was enough to make him realize that something is off. He looks at the other man before pulling out his booklet, which he brought with him.

Don't ask questions.]


Aren't... aren't you one of the people in this thing? [Flips through the booklet and shows Raoul his entry.] Do you know what's going on? I think someone made a mistake.
dechagny: (aint no viscount got time for that)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-10 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Raoul makes to help the poor fellow up, but he's on his feet so quickly that he straightens up again, waving the apology off.] No need for apologies, it's quite alright.

[I mean, yeah, it's just an accident. 'S cool. Raoul blinks, surprised, when the other man pulls out his own pamphlet.]

Yes - yes, that is me, but I haven't the slightest clue as to what is happening. In fact, if you hadn't asked me first, I would have asked you the same.
dontfeedplants: (By and by)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-10 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Seymour shrinks and looks even more apologetic. Sorry Raoul you'll be getting a lot of this.]

Sorry, I have no idea. I've never even been in a building like this before in my life. [If his gaping wasn't a sign of that.]

This... this is probably just a dream though. Does losing cause weird dreams?

[That last bit was obviously Seymour talking to himself.]
dechagny: (here to help)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-10 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Goodness, he's a sheepish sort, isn't he? Alright, well, if they're both clueless about what's going on, at the very least Raoul can be sensible. There's got to be an explanation, after all.]

If it is a dream, sir, it is an incredibly odd one, but I do believe I am awake, at the very least. [He looks around a little, eyes narrowed.] And I know this is not the opera house in which I was before. Tell me, have you seen anyone else yet, in this place? Anyone from the program?

Boy! Watch your step!

[The Pirate King reaches out to grab Seymour's shoulders, both to get his attention and to steady him so he doesn't fall.]

Pay attention, else you'll run into a wall next!
dontfeedplants: (It's not demand and supply)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-10 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well that sure is a complete stranger grabbing him. Seymour just kind of... stares there stunned for a little moment before responding.]

Thanks? ... And I'm sorry, but do I know you?

[Because why would a complete stranger care if he runs into a wall?]
catliketread: (☠ WE NEVER SPEAK A WORD)

[personal profile] catliketread 2016-10-10 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I doubt that. You may have heard of me, though! For I am! [he steps back and then points dramatically skywards] The Pirate King!

[...he's very famous, you know.]
dontfeedplants: (My future's starting)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-10 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Seymour continues to stare, before finally saying something.]

Are you an actor?

[He tried.]
catliketread: (☠ WOULD BE DISTINCTLY HEARD)

[personal profile] catliketread 2016-10-10 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
An actor? Of course not. Do I look like a actor to you?

[Sadly Seymour, as lost as you are, you have the misfortune of running into someone who looks like a a horrible crow with a metal head.

It doesn't help that this bird is also a tad panicked with his looks as much as anyone else and made a terrible job of not looking of where he was running with that big cape.]
dontfeedplants: (What am I saying?)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-10 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[It takes a moment to get his bearings and- oh my god that guy is terrifying.]

Wha... what are you?

[WHY ARE THERE SO MANY TERRIFYING PEOPLE HERE]
dieformymusic: (Fucking dead now)

[personal profile] dieformymusic 2016-10-10 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh god he just terrified a person he's so sorry.

Winslow backs up, holding up his hands as to make himself seem less of a threat. He really wanted to avoid this.

He slooowly pulls out his pamphlet to point to one name: Winslow Leach.]
dontfeedplants: (Default)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-10 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Seymour stares at the pamphlet, still feeling pretty tense.]

... You like music?
dieformymusic: (Default)

[personal profile] dieformymusic 2016-10-10 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Slowly nods as he bundles his cloak about himself.

Yes...he likes music. He simulates piano playing to show that he even plays a bit.]

[Seymour's just bumped into the most terrifying thing in the entire universe.

A teenage girl. Heather stumbles back, furrowing her brow and jutting out her lower lip at him.
]

Hey! What's your damage?
dontfeedplants: (They say the meek are gonna)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-10 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is actually the worst thing that has ever happened to Seymour.

He already looks panicky as he backs away a little from the teenager.]


N-nothing! Sorry, nothing's my damage!

[He doesn't even know what that phrase means.]

Oh. Good. You didn't do it on purpose.
dontfeedplants: (They say the meek are gonna)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-11 01:29 am (UTC)(link)

N... no, I wouldn't do something like that on purpose.
