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.

Careful not to bump anyone like that, Jezebel-san. [the horns] There might be an unfortunate accident.

[EXCUSE?]

I'll be careful. These are actually pretty small for horns.
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (ღ 'cause you're really my dearest friend)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-12 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Beam!]

Oh, I can imagine! It puts my worries at ease, though, to hear you say so.
aflatouttahell: (06)

[personal profile] aflatouttahell 2016-10-12 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
They're not sharp enough to do much more than little cuts anyway, don't worry.
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (and when i wake you)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-12 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course.

[...]

Ah... I-I really do wonder, though... You're really... Jezebel-san, your very existence would cause a stir where I'm from, honestly.
aflatouttahell: (01)

[personal profile] aflatouttahell 2016-10-12 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
It probably would anywhere, but... what makes you say that in particular?
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (And I'll)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-12 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, because of this. [She gestures to her page on the playbill. Occult Research Club. ] The people I spend my time with would be very, ah, interested in this.
aflatouttahell: (03)

[personal profile] aflatouttahell 2016-10-13 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. [She looks it over.] Oh... oh boy. Yeah, that'd... yup. That makes sense.

[Oh boy.]

We have a dedicated call center for Ouija Boards, you know.

[Jez.]
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (stealing your stuff now and then)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-13 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, we've never done anything like that. [Just. Dismissive, in general.] Just Kokkuri-san.

aflatouttahell: (12)

[personal profile] aflatouttahell 2016-10-15 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, I see. And what are the names of the others?

[I mean look they're not necessarily doomed but it's an occult research club, like. Jez knows how this goes.]
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (ღ i don't know how to say this)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-15 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
[This is so far from what she expected asked uh okay um]

Ah... A-ya, B-ko, and C-ta.

aflatouttahell: (01)

[personal profile] aflatouttahell 2016-10-15 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[EASY TO REMEMBER, ANYWAY.]

So what else do you do in your club, besides Kokkuri-san?
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (i'm using your shirt as a pillow case)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-15 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
Kokkuri-san's only the one- ...two? Two times. Mostly we just...discuss urban legends and rumors, from the area.

It's good fun.
