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.

...I have never considered that?

[oh my god it suddenly got scary?!]
robitussin: (or if they just fake it)

[a short pause.]

Okay, I'm making the executive decision that both of us should stop considering it right now.
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (ღ 'cause you're really my dearest friend)

[Nod and beam!]

Continuing on this train of thought will only lead to unhappiness and pain!

[don't say weird things with a big smile on your face]

[she pauses for a moment, looking at d-ne

before she starts laughing.]


Oh my god. I'm sorry, just, the way you said that—
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (i wanna ruin our friendship)

[D-ne continues to smile and then gently laughs herself.]

No apology necessary, none at all!
robitussin: (if they love each other)

I do have to wonder why you sounded so happy about that, though.
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (jenny take my hand)

That? Oh, ah... Sometimes saying things like that with a smile and a bright attitude makes them a little less awful, don't you think?
robitussin: (and you graduate early)

I... guess? I've never really thought about it, but it seems kind of contradictory.
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (jenny‚ darling‚ you're my best friend ♥)

I...suppose I'm a contradictory person, then.
