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.

The music country? The king there is named Mephisto! I know his daughter, Aco-chan.

I haven't even heard of that, so... no, sorry. Just a family last name that sounds kind of the same.
rockthistown: (okay never mind that)

Oh. [nervous shuffle] I guess I named myself after a fairy tale because my real name was too long, so sometimes names are sort of like that.
aflatouttahell: (06)

[personal profile] aflatouttahell 2016-10-13 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
I guess so. What's your really long name, then?

Himelda Window Cure Queen of the Blue Sky! I'm from the Blue Sky Kingdom! Though I guess nobody here has heard of it.

The only thing I know up in the sky is Heaven. It would probably be weird to have to explain why one of your names is Window, though, yeah.
rockthistown: (okay never mind that)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-13 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? No, the Blue Sky Kingdom is just called that because the sky is always blue, even when things are bad! Although our God did live in the embassy for a while.

Did he? I've never met him, what's he like? Is it true he has that voice where you're pretty sure you've heard it before but you can't put your finger on where?

Sort of? He's nice, but he can be kind of selfish! And he walks around with his shirt open all the time. I wonder how that works on Red's planet? Don't they barely have an atmosphere on Mars?

Ma...rs...?

[Blink. Blink.]

You lost me.
rockthistown: (gonna start my own party)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-13 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Um... it's also called Planet Red, if that helps?
aflatouttahell: (02)

[personal profile] aflatouttahell 2016-10-13 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
I know what Mars is, but there aren't... people there.

What year is it, where you come from?
rockthistown: (brb escaping)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-13 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
It's 2015! There aren't many people there, and they still come and visit a lot... Maybe it's a different world. I mean, I was getting ready to go to one before this anyway.
aflatouttahell: (02)

[personal profile] aflatouttahell 2016-10-15 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. Different worlds, yeah.

[WHY DIDN'T HER DAD TELL HER? ABOUT THE DIFFERENT WORLDS THING???]

Right. Although that only became public recently, at least where I was at.
