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?)

[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?

[stagingstorms.livejournal.com]

It's the part that Aoko's rehearsing. Aoko even has the script, though Aoko doesn't really need it.

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

[Shinichi would never have imagined he'd miss hearing his mother blather on about stage related stuff, but this conversation is making him feel pleasantly nostalgic.] And why's that?

[stagingstorms.livejournal.com]

Aoko already memorized the whole thing in one sitting!

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

No wonder you weren't happy to find yourself here -- you'll be looking forward to the rehearsals.

[stagingstorms.livejournal.com]

[He's right. Of course she would, as long as she was away from Kuroba.] Yes, but Aoko believes that she can do it here, alone.

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

That's something at least. When you get hungry, there's a dining room on the first floor. It seems to be free, so don't worry about helping yourself.

[stagingstorms.livejournal.com]

[She nods cheerfully!] Thank you Kudo-san! Though you really don't want to see my Aldis...it's probably really bad.

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

That's a hint for me to let you rehearse in peace? Fine, but let me know when you want an audience.

[stagingstorms.livejournal.com]

[She smiles.] Thank you!

[deaduction.livejournal.com]

See you later, Nakamori-san!
