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.

[...this child has blue hair and is surrounded by a flower border. What has Eliza's life become?]

I must say there is a wide array. [She picks up a furry-trimmed white jacket and holds it against herself to see how it would fit.]

That's perfect! [She claps, the power of fashion drawing her into the room.] The shape really fits you and white looks great at this time of year! I think everyone can follow fashion if they're determined enough. It's one of my favourite things!

You really think so? I'm not one much for wearing white aside from my wedding. [She gives a little twirl. It's different from the fashion she's used to but lovely all the same.]

Well, weddings and tennis uniforms might be the most common uses, but it's important just the same! Oh, look at this one!

[She flits to a floofy red 1860s dress.]

They have things for just about every situation, don't they? I wonder what you'd need this for.
