THE MOCK WEEK

[You find yourself waking in a large dressing room, incredibly spacious, but in intense disarray. The bed is comfortable enough, and each room seems to be equipped with a working bathroom and shower, so it's at least livable. But aesthetically, the place has hit the floor.

The horrifying clock
mounted on the wall reads 9 am. After enough searching, you'll find a large tourist-y map of the studio on one of the dressers. An ominous note attached to the map with a paperclip reads "12PM WAITING AREA". It's not like you have any choice in the matter, seeing as there doesn't seem to be any way out.

Upon exiting the dressing room, you note a crooked star attached to the door bearing your name. There are 24 others like this, bearing names that you may or may not recognize. A quick tour around the studio reveals it to be in a similar state of disrepair, but something doesn't sit...right with you. Though the place is certainly creepy, you get strange vibes as you explore the building. As you move about the dust-filled halls of the abandoned building, you may spot movement out of the corner of your eye, or hear strange noises from behind you. It's nothing to be worried about, though...right?

At the very least, you'll find some comfort. The projection room and attached theater still seem to be in working order, though you'll have to manually grab one of the reels off the wall and start the thing yourself. In addition, the waiting area and lounge are both filled with reading materials, and the later features a large stage and a microphone. The commissary seems to replenish itself with food whenever you take your eyes off of it, ensuring that we won't be going hungry anytime soon. There are also cabinets full of ingredients and a small kitchen should you not trust whatever your benefactor is placing out for you.

Fortunately for them, the smaller individuals amongst your party won't find a great deal of difficulty moving around. Though their beds remain oversized, there seem to be appropriately-sized staircases and escalators placed about in appropriate spots, so as to make their lives easier. After all, they can't just keep relying on the others to get up to the cabinets and such, can they?

While you're waiting to find out what the deal here is, you might as well come out and socialize.]

[Slowly, a mouse pokes her head out from around a corner. A mouse in... a fur coat? She steps out into the hall.]

Hello... Can you understand me?

[Elsa jumps in surprise at the sudden voice, looking around for the source... but it takes her a moment, because she's looking up, but one quick glance down and... wait what???]

You... you can talk?

[She's... not as stunned as most people would be upon seeing a mouse talk, because she's created talking snowmen... but that was all magic. This doesn't seem to be???]
rollerscoater: Smiling and reassuring. (charming your way through life)

[personal profile] rollerscoater 2017-05-07 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[She smiles with relief and walks up to Elsa.]

Oh, yes! Most humans don't often care to hear or see what they don't expect, but sometimes they will. I am Miss Bianca, an ambassador and an agent -- but who are you? Have you woken up here, too?
defyingfrigidity: (I hope you're happy in the end)

[personal profile] defyingfrigidity 2017-05-07 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ambassador? Agent? Just what in the world is going on here? Is she still dreaming...?

Well. Dreaming or not, she should probably go along with it for now, even if she still feels pretty uneasy about this.]


Ah... my name is Elsa. Queen Elsa. [She certainly has a queenly attitude about her, with how properly she kneels down to speak a bit easier with Bianca. She tries to offer the mouse a smile, but it comes off as more of a grimace.] I've woken up here, yes, but... I'm not sure how. This looks like no part of Arendelle I know of...
rollerscoater: Surprised. (pirate disco going on here)

[personal profile] rollerscoater 2017-05-08 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Bow! She bites her lip and looks around.]

Is that your country? That's odd, we don't have a representative in the Rescue Aid Society from a place like that, and I don't believe the human version up above our headquarters has one either.

[they work under the united nations headquarters building. they smuggle themselves in their human counterparts' luggage. blame 1970s airport security.]

The... what? I'm sorry, I've never heard of such a thing.

[This is getting... really weird...]

Arendelle is small, nowhere near the size of some of the world's more prominent kingdoms and nations, so I'm not surprised you haven't heard of it.
rollerscoater: Pleading with concern. (when the chairman is sexist)

There certainly are a lot of small countries, and they're always changing their borders these days, but... Our situation is making less sense as it goes, isn't it? I'm terribly sorry. I wish I had an answer.
defyingfrigidity: (I hope you're happy in the end)

[personal profile] defyingfrigidity 2017-05-09 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Elsa lets out a halfhearted laugh, shaking her head a little as she does so.]

There's no need to apologize. We're in the same boat, after all. We're both equally lost.
rollerscoater: Peering out. ((except maybe that german lady))

[personal profile] rollerscoater 2017-05-10 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry! We'll find our way out in time. People like this always make mistakes.

[Right... that's how it was with Hans, wasn't it? He made mistakes, allowing Anna to escape and save her. But still, he'd come so close to accomplishing what he'd wanted...

Almost unconsciously, Elsa reaches up to rub at her neck... now that she knows what was about to happen, sometimes in her nightmares, she can feel the shadow of his sword, right before...]


The question is, though will the person behind this slip up before something terrible happens?
rollerscoater: Horrified gasp. (dark age sketchy lines)

[personal profile] rollerscoater 2017-05-11 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, your majesty, but we mustn't give up! Our homes are waiting for us.
defyingfrigidity: (pic#7669727)

[personal profile] defyingfrigidity 2017-05-11 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Our homes. Oh no... if it's possible, Elsa goes even paler as Bianca says that.]

Arendelle... when they find out I've been kidnapped, there's no telling what might happen! The people, my staff... they'll be worried sick, oh no...

[whoops.... might not have been the best thing to say...]
rollerscoater: Pleading with concern. (when the chairman is sexist)

[personal profile] rollerscoater 2017-05-11 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry. I know we'll get out! We can never give up.
