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.

[Waking up somewhere strange with your head spinning isn't too weird after the kind of night Heather's had. So at first, she doesn't panic- she lays and admires the room around her, then gets up and fluffs her hair. In fact, things don't really seem weird at all, not until she's wandered out of the dressing room and out into the lobby.

She tries the locked doors, twice, before she starts to panic. This is one of the worst pranks they've played on her, yet.

Very funny Heather and Heather, let me out! [Does she sound a little frantic? She sounds a little frantic.]

[There's a girl a few years younger than you fretting over the doors.]

How many people did they kidnap? This is way too creepy!

[Kidnap? Jesus Christ, this is every rich girl's nightmare!]

You think we were kidnapped?
rockthistown: (maybe i might have screwed up)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-11 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
I think so! I mean, Anna's pretty sure, and some of us could probably be held for ransom or something, so...
onthebusagain: (Or forget that creep)

[personal profile] onthebusagain 2016-10-11 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Jesus Christ-- you're right, my dad's loaded!
rockthistown: (i lost agaiiiiiiiiiiiiin)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-11 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
We need to figure out how to get out of here! And get our stuff back! At least, I'm missing things that I should have on me, and it's kind of really important!

They took your stuff too? Jeez!

I don't remember you from Kurt's party. Or from Westerberg.

I was in the Blue Sky embassy in Pikarigaoka, but I think everyone's from somewhere else! I don't get any of this.
onthebusagain: (Go braid her hair)

[personal profile] onthebusagain 2016-10-11 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
And I don't get any of what you just said.
rockthistown: (is that really gonna work)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-12 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'm from another country, and I'm living in the embassy, why?
onthebusagain: (and heather)

[personal profile] onthebusagain 2016-10-13 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
For real? Like a foreign exchange student?

I was hoping it might be a clue to where we were.
rockthistown: (but at least i know the canon?)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-13 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Basically! It used to be a little more complicated. I don't know if there's anything we all have in common that would lead us here. Most of us would have had security.

I won't worry about it. It's only a matter of time before people notice us missing, and we'll all be let out. As far as hostage situations go, this isn't bad!
rockthistown: (told you this was weird)

[personal profile] rockthistown 2016-10-14 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
They'd better, anyway... You're right! We can't be here too long.
