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.

Oh, I know. Mother never really let me meet too many of the Undead, though. Just the Lilim, and some vampires.

[...]

My mother's Lilith. Lilith of Darkness. I probably should have...said that...

Lilith? [She thinks for a moment. That sounds... she's pretty sure there's a noble named that? But can the nobles have kids?] I can't say I know her personally, but I don't get out very much.

... Maybe we are still somewhere in Hell, then.
solomonjihad: (absolutely a normal human!)

[Haha. Astarte's Lilith is anything but.]

The Underworld...does it normally have a place like this?

I mean... there are theaters, but I can't think of anywhere in Hell someone could keep me for long without dad knowing.

...That's right. Mother would have sensed if I was gone, too. Maybe our parents are looking for us?

Maybe. Hopefully they give whoever took us... y'know.

[Heh.]
solomonjihad: (well I don't know...)

...Retribution?
aflatouttahell: (06)

[personal profile] aflatouttahell 2016-10-15 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
I... meant Hell, but retribution sounds more accurate.
solomonjihad: (...never mind)

[personal profile] solomonjihad 2016-10-15 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
...Oh.

[Wah wah wah]
