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.

[Look, he is very much of the Ron Swanson school of thought when it comes to names.]

Not a scratch on me, kid. So whoever brought us here probably didn't do it while we were kicking and screaming.

[And you know, that is a respectable school to attend.]

But at the, ah, same time, I can't see myself agreeing to such an arrangement... We were drugged, perhaps?
allicareabout: (INFORM Δ look if jesus christ had $5000)

Were you somewhere that you could have been drugged?

[She thinks it over.]

...you know, not exactly, but it wouldn't be impossible.
allicareabout: (GENDO Δ get on the witness stand andy)

[...You know, he has to consider that, but...]

...Actually, I'm in a similar boat. It'd be possible, but it'd be difficult, and I don't think my secretary's that kind of person.

And they would be the only one who'd have access to you?
allicareabout: (SHRUG Δ honey we're all half-centaur)

[personal profile] allicareabout 2016-10-15 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
She's the only one who'd have access to my office and what's in it, sure.

I was with a client before all of this happened, but he left before all this happened and he didn't touch anything but what he handed over.
lifegoalsorwifegoals: (I'll be)

One suspect, and not the type, then.

Well, it's always possible for otherworldly forces to be at play too, so who really knows what could have happened to us.

[....why are you just SAYING that]
allicareabout: (EHHH Δ it's not going to pay for itself)

[personal profile] allicareabout 2016-10-15 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
...You think it's magic.

[WELL, OKAY THEN.]

I believe we can't discount the occult.
