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.

[So how many times is he going to have someone bump into him here? If this is some sort of side effect from being solid, he's not sure he likes it. However, he puts his hands up, a bit defensively.]

Woah, dude. Watch where you're going there. Something wrong?

[Billy bounces back when he realizes he almost collided into somebody, glancing at the boy and then immediately away, blinking hard.]

I-I mean, not unless you think there's something wrong with waking up in a strange place, because in that case, then nothing wrong at all.

Well, I was assuming other than the obvious that we're all stuck in an unknown place with people we don't know.

[He shakes his head, only a bit frustrated.]

Sorry. I think we're all on edge. I'm Gabe, by the way.

[Billy shrugs himself deeper into his hoodie, tilting his head like he's trying to crack his neck and pushing his hands deep into his pockets.]

...I'm, uh. I'm Billy.
superboyisalive: (serious)

Good to meet you.

[He smiles widely.]

Anything I can help you with? I mean, I know we've got a crappy situation going on here, but we are all in this together after all.

[Billy blinks hard, brows furrowed, then his expression softens into a shy, nervous smile.]

Uh, I. I don't think so...

[You can't be out of high school.]

I'm just, uh. Just looking for a way out, like everyone else, probably...
