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.

I fear it is worse than that.

[He shakes his head.]

No, I can't say I have.

[welcome to les mis where all the posters are in french and the random french word thrown into english phrases means We Are Definitely In France]

Then I suggest you do so, as soon as you are able.
dontfeedplants: (No way forget it)

Murder.

[as menacing as possible!!]

They wish for us to murder one another.
dontfeedplants: (You know the book doesn't lie)

Murder?!

[Said almost equally as dramatic.]

But... but why? We have no reason to kill each other!

They are trying to come up with reasons why we should.
dontfeedplants: (What am I saying?)

[personal profile] dontfeedplants 2016-10-16 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
I... I'm sorry, but I just don't get it. There is no reason why I would kill anyone, especially people I've just met!

I am glad you think so.
