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.

He's... it's complicated. But I definitely don't have any interest in the... family business, I guess?

[She watches Jezebel for another moment before nodding.]

You do look like a really nice person.

Thanks! I try to be. Even if I don't get a lot of chances locked away in the tower.
sunshineprincess: (♠ Oh oh oh oh)

He doesn't let you go out at all?
aflatouttahell: (08)

[personal profile] aflatouttahell 2016-10-16 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Nope. I just languish until he... I don't know, marries me off or something.

[Haha. You know. Since she doesn't remember how he's actually tried that right now.]
sunshineprincess: (♠ And the roadmap)

[personal profile] sunshineprincess 2016-10-16 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[That doesn't sound right at all.]

Wait what. He's not going to let you fall in love and choose your own husband?
