heart and soul

The ground falls out beneath you. You're in midair, you're surrounded by swirling clouds, and there's nowhere stable to put your feet. The space between your body and the turbulence around you feels poorly defined as well; where do you end and your surroundings begin? Is there a stable you in the first place?

But eventually--

You're in the sky.

More accurately, you're on a ship flying in the sky. A polished wooden deck spreads out beneath your feet, with golden railings off to the sides. Incongruously, in front of you a large building rises out of the deck: a golden-accented theater with a glittering marquee and a ticket-taker's booth out in front.

Aside from the theater and the hall behind you, there doesn't seem to be anything else on this ship.

.... seriously?

[goes to look over the side]

The ship at this point is above the clouds, but its lower decks disappear into a sea of white fluff. Occasionally, glints of lightning can be seen deep in the clouds, but up here, it's by and large peaceful.

[spreads his hands out, shutting his eyes]

This is nice.

How is it even staying in the air?

[seriously looking for propellers or wings or something]

Magic?

They might be down below the clouds. You can't see any from here.

Heart logic.

Guess it's just something he made up.

Let's check out that theatre.

Cool.

[exploration!]

The marquee atop it glitters.

Bucky Barnes stars as "The Steadfast Soldier"
Bucky Barnes stars as "The Supportive Friend"
Steve Rogers stars as "The Good Knight and Superhero"

In front of it, the ticket-taker's booth is small, but positioned right in front of the entrance so that it's hard to miss. Within it sits a man with dark hair, pointed ears, and a severe expression.

Two, please.

For the Steve Rogers one.

The man looks up. "How will you pay," he begins, but then he stops and considers Eliot. "Are you one of the actors?"

That's right. Which means I get in free, all right? And I get to bring a guest.
