WEEK 1

[With the introduction of their showrunner and a brief run through of what they're in for in their time in the Opera House out of the way, the performers are free to explore the first floor of the opera house at their leisure then and for the rest of the week that lies ahead. The double doors leading to the kitchen will be unlocked at 7 am and locked at 10 pm for intermission. Performers are free to prepare meals for themselves and others at any time outside of intermission.

The Merchandise Booth will also be open for business after the first day as some of the performers may find envelopes with their names on it taped to their doors in the morning.

If performers wish to have private conversations with their showrunner, The Balladeer, just step up to the box office and see if he's in.

Enjoy your week, everyone.]

[Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday]

[ooc: This is the last mod post for the week for us! Feel free to start depositing coins in the merch booth if any of your threads have reached that length, so long as they're not with the Balladeer. Remember, song threads mean double coins! There will be no murder this first week so gain all the CR you can while it lasts, darlings.]

[Today, each performer will find a small box of stage make-up sitting in front of their door. It's full of heavy foundation, bright lipsticks, even brighter eyeshadow- listen, the showrunner never promised it'd be good make-up.]

[...Well...best to explore. All throughout the day, Astarte can be found in the various places on the first floor. In the music room, looking at all of the strange musical instruments and trying them out (and...failing). In the ballroom, trying to pry open the windows. In the costume shop, looking for clothing that isn't what she's wearing. In the kitchen, trying to make food.

All the while, she looks. There has to be an opening, right? There just has to be. An opening...outside? Or somewhere else? Something else? She...shakes her head. What is she thinking?

~~Maybe its not you...~~]

[Well, someone's putting the makeup to good(?) use; Hime comes out of her room with pastel eyeshadow, lipstick, and blush, looking like a private-school kid's first experiment with makeup outside of dress code regulations. She's pilfered a pale pink dress from the costume shop and made sure absolutely everything matches. If she's going to be stuck here, she's going to do it looking cute. Or something.

Still, though, she looks wary and shaky as she has been since they got here. The morning is spent inspecting the lobby, with most of her time pressing her back against the walls just in case someone decides to try and get out. ...this is making trying to jiggle the doorknob and inspect the lock look like some kind of contortionist act.

After that failure, anyone would start getting hungry. In the kitchen just before lunchtime, she takes a deep breath, rolls up her sleeves, and starts peeling potatoes choppily and messily.]

How did Yuuko do this without cutting herself all the time? [She bandages her hand and washes the peeler for the fifth time.] Maybe that song of hers would help...

[Later, Hime can be found appraising everything in the costume shop again. Anything that could possibly be found in her size will be checked against her, and she's commandeered one of the dining carts to amass a pile of clothes.]

[After that mess with the Showrunner, Anna needs a mental break. Everything was a mess and she just wants to find something fun to do. She somehow winds up in the music room. The piano seems nice enough to tinker around with. She knows there was one in Arendelle, so Anna does her best to play a song on it. Yes, it sounds awfully out of tune since it's been a while. Singing was more her forte.

The kitchen is another one of her stops. The future is so fascinating. She's never seen anything like this back home! This was all so futuristic that she has no idea what any of this does. She can be seen playing with the mixer, giggling in delight as the beaters turn. The stove is another target of curiosity. She doesn't know what it does until the plates start glowing red... and she lightly burns her fingers trying to figure out why. Ow. Otherwise she's found the candies and happily munches away on them.]

This place is amazing!

There's enough for a whole orchestra in here! What are you trying to play?

[She has to. Anna has to! She's in the costume shop today! Even though the dresses are beautiful... Anna has decided to try one some pants. They seem to be from the Victorian era, and she finds it quite different. Petticoats and bloomers are one thing, but pants? She... could get used to wearing them. She dances around the room in them as she tries to get use to the feeling and give of the fabric.

She stops and thinks about what Hans had originally said about her having to keep up appearances...]

What would Elsa say?

[Anna can be seen walking around later with a dress on. Seems she's still not ready to show off quite yet.]

[Hime's eyes sparkle when she notices the wrappers. She wanders over and hesitates.]

Are those honey candies?

[The Pirate King has been almost everywhere for the past couple of days. He's been trying to get every single door and window open, he's been climbing up on things and looking under them, and he's been doing everything he can think of to come up with an escape plan.

It hasn't worked, obviously.

By Wednesday he's actually settled down a bit. If you're up early in the morning as soon as the kitchen opens, you can find him rifling through the cabinets and stealing candies. Look, he is a pirate and sometimes pirates steal stuff! Also these candies are great, he needs at least five hundred of them. He'll be intentionally avoiding the stove, but he's gotten used to the refrigerator so after raiding the candy he'll be looking in there for something to actually eat for breakfast.

Later on in the day you can find him in the storage room, where he's taken to... putting stuff in a blanket? Yes. Once the blanket is loaded up he picks up the ends to create a makeshift sack and takes all the stuff back to his room. Who needs that much stuff?? Does the Pirate King really need that many candles? How about that much rope? Why are there so many matches?? There's also a good amount of duct tape in there, though that's the only thing he takes that he doesn't recognize, the WD-40 and the batteries are staying right where they are. He's not taking everything, of course, but this is a good amount for one man. He'll also be returning here afterwards to grab a few more spare blankets. Huh.

In the evening, you'll find the door to room #19 is open a crack and if you glance in you'll see the Pirate King decorating. Those blankets he stole earlier are being fastened into a canopy and while having that many candles is definitely a fire hazard, the place looks a lot nicer and cozier when it's not lit by the bright lights on the vanity.

The Pirate King seems proud of his work, anyway.]

[She blinks and looks down at her little mountain of wrappers.]

It's a lot of different ones. I found chocolate, fruit ones, and some honey. They're all wrapped the same so you don't know what you get till you open it!

[She holds out a handful.] Wanna try some?

Aha, it seems you've had a similar idea!

[Hey, Hime. The Pirate King just sort of barged in here to look for more clothes (because what the fuck is a laundry machine, it's witchcraft (probably), and he takes note of the pile of clothes she's already gathered.]

An even more brilliant idea than my own, actually. Perhaps I should have commandeered a cart of my own.

It truly is stuck, isn't it?

[The Pirate King's been trying to get one of the other windows open for awhile now and he's only just now sat down to take a break.]

[Astarte's response is to stumble back and land on her back, after one, final, hard pull.

...]

It...looks like it.

[Drat...]

It is?

[Its a kitchen?...]

Why?

Are you alright? You didn't hurt yourself, did you?

[He's already standing and offering her a hand, because that's a bit more concerning than the locked windows. For the moment, anyway.]

Mm...this instrument. Michiru Kaiou's instrument.

[AND IT GOES A LITTLE SOMETHING LIKE THIS]

Hmm?

[Anna's not the only one in the room, it seems.]

Maybe she'd say they look good on you.

[...They do look good on her.]

Edited 2016-10-12 19:38 (UTC)

Oh, I'm all right...Pirate King.

[She got it right, right? She does take the hand proffered and goes to pull herself up.]

Thank you.

[Up we go! He'll let go once she's steady on her feet.]

You're quite welcome. Ah, I'm afraid I can't recall your name off the top of my head and I left that little booklet back in my room... What is your name, miss?

[She nods.]

The kitchens like this aren't something we have back home.

[She spins around, raising her hand to her mouth in surprise.]

I... [Shaking her she looks down at herself.] No... she'd tell me it wasn't proper. Ladies, especially a princess, shouldn't be wearing men's clothing.
