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 continues to stare at the girl. Why is she so nervous? Is she hiding something?

As opposed to...hiding behind something?]


Harmonia...?

It's the-- the country we were going to perform in! For the King and Queen's festival! The theme is "39 Fairies!"
solomonjihad: (maybe I can be friends!)

...Is it near Japan?
rockthistown: (let me tell you about my best friend)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Not really... But you're from Japan? That's where I live! In the embassy for the Blue Sky Kingdom, where I come from!
solomonjihad: (well I don't know...)

...I'm actually from Transylvania. I just transferred for the year to Japan.
rockthistown: (gonna start my own party)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Then we're both staying from abroad! [She smiles and takes in a deep breath.] M-m-maybe we can be-- um! What's your country like?

[personal profile] solomonjihad 2016-10-12 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
....I.

[OH WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE TIME. She warily looks away at this. Talking to this person about Transylvania, they might figure out about...about...!

What do you think you can do? The moment she learns, the humans will surely come...]


Oh, I think I should go. To my room.

[She turns to leave. That's how you end conversations you don't want to be in, right?]
rockthistown: (could we have one day without someone dr)

[That's how Hime does it all the time! She watches Astarte walk away and, once she's out, sinks to the floor and wails.]

I still suck at making friends!

[...well, that went well.]
