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.

We don't have those where I'm from. Seymour told me I was from a way early past. [She huffs at that last part.] Of course I know what food is!

[The tiniest eyeroll] Well, you didn't know what a grocery store was, how was I supposed to know? Not knowing what food is sounds more reasonable than being from the past.

[She huffs louder now, hands on her hips.] You're really rude!
onthebusagain: (Go braid her hair)

What? Are you mad at me?
sunshineprincess: (• There'll be light)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-13 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! Yes I am! You don't even know me, and you're being really mean.
onthebusagain: (Or forget that creep)

[personal profile] onthebusagain 2016-10-13 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
You really expect me to believe you're from the past, and not just some home-schooled weirdo?
sunshineprincess: (♠ Life is a trip)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-14 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know what 'home-schooled' is!
onthebusagain: (Or forget that creep)

[personal profile] onthebusagain 2016-10-14 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
You're like, super homeschooled material, even if you weren't.

I'm a princess! [She crosses her arms and pouts.] Not a home-school weirdo, or whatever else you think you can insult me with.

Is that a religious thing?

A religious thing?

[What the heck are you talking about? How is a princess a religious thing?]
