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.

Well, perhaps not that far back. But you know what I mean, right?
no subject
Right. So... we should start from waking up in this place?
no subject
[ Cough cough, look, he's reformulating his plan here. Pull yourself together, Hans! ]
So, are you alright? You mentioned you and someone else thought we'd been kidnapped...?
no subject
[Anna nods, hands on her hips.]
I talked with Hime about it and a few others, and only Hime agrees with me. She's a princess, too, and something called a Precure.
no subject
[ Agreeing with you, see. ]
Nothing here seems to make sense at all. The lights, the booklets, the stage...
no subject
[So that thought went out the window.]
The people, those rooms we're in, and those titles? Oh! [Anna flips through her booklet and stops on a page.] This doesn't say what a Precure is either.
no subject
[ Javert also sang at Hans, it was A Thing. ]
It's like they expect us all to be in some bizarre play.
[ Hans pulls his own pamphlet out, browsing through it. Ugh, why is his so bad. ]
It doesn't explain how they could have all this information about us.
no subject
[Anna looks at her own description and sighs.]
Disheveled. Really? [... oh. Does... Does Billy think she looks disheveled?]
no subject
[ Just don't read Hans' too closely, Anna. ]
You're certainly not disheveled. Whoever did these must think this is all some kind of joke.
no subject
[There's one she's checking out now that certainly is not Hans.]
I know! I make sure all of my clothes are neat and my hair is nicely done. If anything, they probably... mean when I was little or something.
no subject
[ His just says he tries real hard and is unloved and unnoticed, how could u forget him Anna :'((( ]
Don't take it personally, Anna. We shouldn't put too much value on the opinion of whoever wrote this-- they're obviously the ones behind this entire mess.
no subject
And then there's Raoul, too. So charming.]
You're right... whoever wrote this is going to get a piece of m mind!
no subject
Exactly. They're the real bad guys here. I'd like to have some strong words with them, myself!
no subject
Please don't do that.]I want to know why all of us? Some of these people here are even more victims than we are!
no subject
You're right. There's more than a few royals here, but there are others who are just normal people. It's quite strange...
no subject
Maybe... they're trying to make us let our guard down with all these people around?
no subject
Hmmm, it could be? Some of the people are wearing strange clothes too, so I don't understand where they could all have come from. They certainly weren't at the ball.
no subject
I know! Oh, Billy was wearing something called a 'hoodie'! It looks really comfortable. I looks like a cloak but it's the length of a coat.
no subject
Oh? Who's Billy?
no subject
no subject
[ He sure does........ ]
no subject
no subject
[ How improper :||| ]
no subject
You think I should try wearing some? I mean, they do look quite comfortable.
no subject
[ Do you know how complex the underwear was back in the day, it was crazy. ]
It wouldn't be very fitting of a princess, though. But if you don't mind what people think, there's no reason not to.
[ Outside of formal events of course because Anna do you even care about representing your country in a positive light!!! ]
