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 problem! Pirates have to be careful too, you know!

...an orphan!
[thank you, pirate king, we all needed that]
no subject
Seems we have something in common.
no subject
You're an orphan too!? You poor, poor girl! I am so terribly sorry for your loss!

Indeed, there is not much to be done. Were we in Penzance - or somewhere in that general vicinity, depending on where my ship is at the moment - I would gladly welcome you into my crew with open arms! But alas, I don't have a flag to bestow upon you!
[YOU JUST MET HER]

Oh! Oh, no. No. I would not be a good pirate. I'm really clumsy! And probably not the best on a boat.
no subject
[...oh right, there was supposed to be a point in there somewhere, wasn't there...]
Even if you think you would be no good at piracy, I assure you that anyone can be a pirate!
no subject
But I'm a princess... And I don't know how my sister would feel about it.
no subject
[...not to be confused with "the Pirate Princess, daughter of the Pirate King" for he does not have a daughter.]
As for your sister... Why, she's free to come along! The more the merrier, as they say!
no subject
.... I'll ask her!
no subject
Excellent! Then we should locate a way out of here as quickly as we can! I wouldn't wish to leave my crew alone for too long anyway.
no subject
[Please say yes.]

I love singing!

I should go see if I can find some inspiration then.

I'll find you when I've got something!
[And off she goes, flitting away.]
