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.

Ah, you're one unaware as well... [Embarrassing...!] It, um, just showing proper respect for those older or in a higher position in Japan. Like "Mister" or "Missus" in English.

Oh, I see - so you are from Japan! That is very, very far from my home, so I am afraid I'm not familiar with your homeland's customs.

[But this is very interesting. One term for Monsieur and Madame?]
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (And I FEEL COMPLETELY)

oh my gosh how did this tag get lost!

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-14 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
That, ah, appears to be the case for many here. [She appears flustered but smiles.] If absolutely necessary, I can speak differently, but I'm- I try to be a very polite person, you see.
dechagny: (just got introduced through song)

shh its okay

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-14 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, no, on the contrary, speak as you wish! If it's polite, then by all means, go ahead.

[Raoul will never deny someone else their manners, so long as they ARE manners.]

[sick because she wasn't actually going to stop either way]

Then Raoul-san you'll be. So many of these names are, I must say, a little troubling, but I'll...well, hopefully I won't have to get the hang of it, but if it comes to that...
dechagny: (is not a total douchebag)

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-14 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you will do splendidly.

[She's already making an effort to be polite so in Raoul's book, she wins. A+ for you D-ne.]
lifegoalsorwifegoals: ('cause you're really my dearest friend)

[personal profile] lifegoalsorwifegoals 2016-10-14 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. That there, ah, are such kind people here, it ah...reassures me.

[You know there's some letter joke to be made about how even though she's a D she still puts out A worth effort or something.]
dechagny: (just got introduced through song)

I'll go sit in my corner now

[personal profile] dechagny 2016-10-15 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Nooooo shush she is not a D she is a D-]

And it reassures me as well. We will certainly be able to figure out a way to free ourselves, I am certain of it.

[OH MY GOD I MEET YOU WITH THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE]

I hope your positive attitude can carry us there, then.

[STRIKES A FUCKIN POSE]

Ah - I hope my positive attitude can spread to others, truthfully.
