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.

No one in this program makes any sense!

[Hime pouts and shuts her own program with a sigh.]

Nobody I know and nobody who was supposed to be where I was, and maybe you could hold a bunch of us for ransom, but that can't be everybody!

[Now what kinda punch-drunk hairdo is that? You find all kinds in Hollywood, but wow. Darla wasn't sure if the people in the little book had been a joke but there's one of them right in front of her and she has questions.]

Hey, dollface!
[She waves her program.]
Are all the people in this book here?

I-I think so! [Hime flips through it.] I haven't seen anyone but these people yet. Do you know any of them?
littlegirl_littlecurl: (Not impressed)

[Shrug.] I've heard some names once or twice, but I don't have to remember these kinds of things.

[These kinds of things meaning people who don't work for her and roles she doesn't play.]

How did we get here anyway?
rockthistown: (what does that have to do with it)

I have no idea! How could they even kidnap us? Most of us had security.
littlegirl_littlecurl: (Curl twirl)

Well, I goofed that last tag up ;u;

"Ain't that the question!"

[Pause...]

"Y'know, I've never been kidnapped before. They must have done something crazy since I dont even remember it happening."

Me neither! You'd think it would be obvious that we were getting kidnapped.
littlegirl_littlecurl: (Smug)

"They must've been real quiet, too. Maybe they put something in our food!"
