act one; action.

[Does the Dressing Room have a auditorium before? Well, it does now. Apparently, this new Aoko is walking by, curiously and somewhat worried, mostly about herself.]

This doesn't seem to be Tokyo at all. [She then sighs, before walking around pacing herself left and right, her voice now shaking in anger.]

Kuroba! You better not have kidnapped me for Daito again!

(OOC: [/nervousnervous] h-have an alternate universe Aoko from Glass Mask, manga verse. Basically, Aoko's an actress and Kuroba Kaito (Purple Rose/Masumi) is twenty-eight. Her rival is Akako. Have at it?)

... Really, really big fans? [Shinichi shrugged, showing he wasn't being serious.] Though this is more of a mansion than a theatre.

Nakamori-san? [Oh man, how to put this.] That's right, but I might not be the Kudou you're thinking of.

[stagingstorms.livejournal.com]

Mm. [She nodded, showing her sincerity, though she was a bit nervous, since in her world, Kudo Shinichi was a pretty famous actor, even though it was mostly for mystery dramas. Nonetheless, she's really excited! She then blinks twice in confusion.]

What do you mean?

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm kind of retired right now. There's more than one Kudou Shinichi in the place though, so you might find the one you want among them.

Were you rehearsing when you found yourself here?

[stagingstorms.livejournal.com]

How's that possible? [Aoko looks at Shinichi, quite confused. She then remains calm.]

Yes! Aoko was rehearsing for a play with Akako-san. It's called "The Two Princesses". [She then beams, really excited!] And Aoko's going to be starring for the first time starring with Tsukikage-sensei!

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

I don't have all the facts yet. You'll soon notice this place is rather unusual. No one who is here came here on purpose, for one.

A starring role? Congratulations.

[stagingstorms.livejournal.com]

[She nods!] Aoko thought that she'd never get a landing role ever again after what happened...[She looks towards the ground, a bit guiltily] But it's all okay now!

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear that.

I'm guessing you only just arrived?

[stagingstorms.livejournal.com]

[She nods silently. Kudo-san seems really nice!]

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

Then let's see -- get used to things not making much sense. We're all in the same boat trying to work out what's going on here. Oh, and be careful -- you'll find people you know, but they might not be the same people you know. And if you meet a guy in a white suit going by 1412 -- just say goodbye and get out of there as quickly as you can.

[stagingstorms.livejournal.com]

1412? [Maybe she should be relieved that she doesn't have a Kaitou Kid in her world]

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

He's a big creep -- broke a friend of mine's wrist for no real reason.

[stagingstorms.livejournal.com]

Eh?! [Aoko was shocked. What type of person would do such a thing?!] That's so mean! I wish there were someone to apprehend him! [Even though breaking a wrist is bad, it isn't as bad as her situation, really.]

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

It's a worry. Though I did see Takagi-keiji around here once -- that was a while ago now though.

[stagingstorms.livejournal.com]

[She sighs in relief. A policeman, thank god.] So, if there really are different worlds, what are you in that world? It's obvious you're not an actor, right?

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

Right! I was a detective.

[stagingstorms.livejournal.com]

A real detective? [Wooooow, that's so amazing!] You must've solved a whole bunch of cases!

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

Why do you say a 'real' detective? And yes, actually. I had a pretty good reputation when I -- quit.

[stagingstorms.livejournal.com]

[Hm, how to say this?] I guess because in my world... [She laughs a bit] you're an actor who only plays parts in mystery dramas!

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

Really? That's cool -- I did want to be Basil Rathbone for a bit when I was younger, until I realised that I didn't have to be an actor to be like Holmes.

What about you? Stage or film or is it a particular part you're drawn to?

[stagingstorms.livejournal.com]

I love both! As long as it's acting, I don't care which role I get! [And truth be told, Aoko's being sincere.]

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

It's that important?

[/forgets sometimes that she speaks in third person]

[stagingstorms.livejournal.com]

[She nods] Aoko was never good at anything else, that's why it's so important!

[no worries! I'd make a terrible Aoko for that very reason.]

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

[Blinks. That's -- unexpectedly frank.] Ah--

Well, break a leg, as my Mum would say.

[stagingstorms.livejournal.com]

[Oh, right!] Aoko will! Aoko will become the best Aldis that the world's ever seen!

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

Is that the part you're rehearsing for now? Or a different role?
