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.

She would love it! We've been in that castle for so long that I think we both need a break and just... see everything...

[Elsa needs it even more than Anna does.]

I see... well, I hope when we get out of here that she'll still be waiting for you. Especially when you explain to her just what happened.

[He smiles, just a touch bashful.] Ah...that's the thing. She actually does not know to expect me. We haven't seen each other in years, and I saw her performing on stage...it was the surprise of a lifetime, to say the least. I wanted to surprise her.
sunshineprincess: (♥ 'Cause it's all so brand new)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[She claps her hands together, her eyes wide.] That's so romantic! She'll be so surprised! Did you being her flowers, sweets, or a other gift?
dechagny: (made it to survivor pool)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-11 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I had planned to find some flowers before I found her. Perhaps roses. They are a very sweet token - and admittedly, better if they are red. The color reminds me of how we met.
sunshineprincess: (♠ Oh oh oh oh)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-11 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah! Red roses mean you love her!

[He laughs, definitely bashful now. HAHAH, yeah, he's definitely crushing on Christine, but does she feel the same? She has full right to rebuke him, if he gets the chance to see her again.]

Well! There was...something, when we were young, but it's been many years. She may have plans of her own! I was thinking more of the color of the scarf I retrieved for her from the sea.
sunshineprincess: (♣ Who knew we owned)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-12 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[A scarf? This story is getting more and more romantic... What a gentleman to do such a thing.]

I'm sure she'll love them then. A gesture like that speaks a thousand words...
dechagny: (here to help)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-12 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[And he was only fourteen at the time! The de Chagny line raises 'em up young.]

I do sincerely hope so. But, if I do not return soon, I might not find her again for some time. The show had just ended before I...fell asleep? Or found myself asleep. I don't know how much time has passed, and she may well have returned to her home.
sunshineprincess: (♠ I've got to go)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-12 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Clearly.]

Can't you see if anyone knows if she's left? When you go back? They might know and you can go find her then.
dechagny: (stopping some raptors)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-12 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I should be able to, but to call upon her at home after her very first performance...it is a bit forward of me, and I'm not sure how she would react.
sunshineprincess: (♠ Joined at the hip)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-12 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm... that would be a problem. Maybe send her a letter announcing you'll visit her?
dechagny: (is not a total douchebag)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-12 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
That, unfortunately, ruins the surprise...

[Unless...it's not directly saying "sup girl it's ya boi raoul"]

...But something to that effect might not be amiss, if written well.
sunshineprincess: (♥ When can we do this again?)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-12 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Does she know your handwriting? You could always dictate and someone else can write it for you.
dechagny: (made it to survivor pool)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-12 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
She might not. Like I said, it has been some time since we last met. I shall give it some thought.
sunshineprincess: (♥ 'Cause your future's)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-12 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you have plenty of time to think about it in this place!
dechagny: (aint no viscount got time for that)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-12 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I suppose that is its only good quality, save for the company.

[Because so far the other people in this place don't seem too bad. And there's a literal princess here!]
sunshineprincess: (♠ At the mountains)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-12 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aw. She's glad he likes the people here so far. She does as well, since some of them seem rather nice.]

I just hope someone tells us why we're here soon.
dechagny: (will smugly concede)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-13 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Why we're here, and where the exit is.
sunshineprincess: (♥ It's just a matter of time)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-13 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe we should go look around again? I haven't seen much of this place yet. I was thinking of going to the ballroom.
dechagny: (is not a total douchebag)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-13 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods.] A good plan. I shall see if I can find someone here who might know more than us - and perhaps take a look at these sealed doors and windows. There may be one that is not as secure as it looks.
sunshineprincess: (♥ Welcome to the rhythm)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-13 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. Then how about we meet up later and see if we found anything! [This is a good plan now.]
dechagny: (here to help)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-13 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[The best plan!] It sounds wonderful. Until then...[He'll give her a little bow.]
sunshineprincess: (♠ I've got to go)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-13 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[She gives him a curtsy in return.] Good luck~!

[And she's off!]
