graveyard

the theatre




You awaken in a darkened theatre.

In front of you is an enormous cinema screen. On it plays everything that's currently happening in the castle, accompanied by appropriate sound effects and background instrumentals when fitting. The seat you're sitting on is large and plush, and while there's many of them, there's enough room in the theatre for you to fully recline the seat into a comfortable bed if you wish. Under each seat is a sleeping mask and noise-cancelling headphones, in case you'd like to take a break from watching the show.

Follow the stairs up and you'll reach what should be the projection room. There are no projectors in here, however; it is simply a large and well-lit room above the main seating area, and a good place to hang out with your fellow eliminated contestants if shouting at each other across the aisles proves too much to handle.

If you leave the theatre through the door in the back, you'll find yourself in a hall. On one end is a concession stand. It's stocked with standard movie snacks - popcorn, candy and the like - but if you're feeling the urge for something else, you'll be able to find it stocked somewhere in the back. On the other end is a table with thirty wrapped bags and a placard reading 'A star for our stars! Please accept these lovely giftbags as a token of appreciation for your hard work, sponsored by [illegible smudge]'. Each bag has a tag bearing the name of someone in the mansion; you will only be able to open the bag with your name on it. As soon as you open it, any memories that have been taken from you, including those of the other people in the mansion that you may have forgotten, will be returned in their entirety. Within the bag are also objects from your home that you may want for your stay here, though you will find no weapons.

Past the hall is another door, this one wooden and seemingly decayed. If you go inside, you'll find a fairly simple, wooden room, that is empty except for a very large machine. It is difficult to tell what the machine is for; it has a touch screen that appears to be a control panel, as well as a large open space that seems to be part of the machine, but the machine is dead and won't turn on no matter what you do.

Still, at least you aren't alone here. You have your fellow players, as well as a few guests to keep you company.

Oh, and one more thing. At midnight following each execution, once all those who've died that week have woken up, a video will begin to play on screen.

...We could set up one big tabletop adventure! Enough for everybody to play in.

If I am dead here...

What does that mean for the place from which I have come? I was about to be executed there.

[What a track record you have, Peko.]

[If she had gone into song, Peko would have been thoroughly convinced that she had been the Glinda of her season.]

I saw the host. During my execution.

If I kill him, would that suffice?

[She doubts it.]

I do not understand. Are we dead, or aren't we?

Are you alright?

I see. You are a... troll, too, are you not? What is your name?
redsea: (085 ❀ we don't have to feel it anymore!)

[personal profile] redsea 2014-06-30 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
And I as well. [ She puts on a wry smile. Looks like she isn't bothered by any of her injuries at all... ] ...It seems that I have failed my brother again.

[ Zukoryuu Uchiha is an ass it's true. Clearly Kougyoku is the better sibling. ]

It... appears that way. [ She takes in a deep breath. ] Killing me, then killing my prey—someone certainly had no shame...

[ Her voice seems to be trembling, but not in fear. Rather, it's her killer who should be afraid... ]
redsea: <user name="heist"> (081 ❀ can have but one explanation)

Brother Kouha. [ She approaches Kouha from behind, but is she here to save Ryou? ] May I join you?

[ Because she wants to deal the finishing blow lmao bye ]
onethirdthesoul: anime (something inside me)

he'll take you both on

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-06-30 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
[When Ryou hears Kougyoku's voice he nearly chokes. As if one of them wasn't enough, he already didn't have a chance.]

K-Kougyoku-san...

[ She looks down at his hand, then back to him slightly confused, but her lips curl into a smile. It's hard to tell if it's an actual smile or a smirk though because... well, it's Rapture. ]

You're absolutely right. Riot wouldn't give up so easily, he would make them bow to his whims! They'd be wrong to think they could make a mockery of him and the Stingers!

[ EXCUSE YOU, GLINDA IS THE RAPTURE OF HER SEASON. ]

The underworld works in mysterious ways, Peko Pekoyama! [ Her name is said with the most Californian accent ever. ] You'd probably put all of us here and your young master in danger if you try to kill the host. The last time that happened it didn't turn out so well either and she ended up dying anyway.

[personal profile] throe 2014-06-30 01:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I just saw your brains everywhere. [ She grows even more uneasy when she says that and it isn't even the worst she's seen. ] Of course I'm not alright.

... [That was kind of extreme. Surely she's just very passionate!! He can't really blame her anyway.]

They're wrong to think they can make a mockery of anyone. All they do is prey on people's hearts to make them do...really awful things.

[Somebody's projecting.] C-can you believe...after what I did, I... I still feel jealous towards Mei-chan for getting the incentive?

Yes... a troll from Alternia. I'm Kanaya Maryam.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya with pursed, green lips, looking up at the sky skeptically. Offscreen her hand is on her hip. (Tch)

[MS. PEKOYAMA... your murder game is too strong...]

I don't know very much about that place. Just that these producers don't want you to leave and find out. You'd be better served to ask Sonia or Gundam... I guess you'd recognize those past contestants' portraits by now, would you not.

[It's okay, Peko. You were her favorite contestant.]

A pity. I'd like for him to live through this. [Which is more than she can say through her show of disinterest in most of the cast so far.]

All I can say with any certainty is they're able to back up their baits, if they feel inclined to do so.

I never thought I'd be watching people leave gifts at my own grave... [Ryou's watching the screen with a detached look.]

It's kind of surreal. [He says all this while munching on some popcorn.]

perfectstrike: (unsure)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2014-07-02 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
As do I.

[Really Peko. That's such a surprise. No one could have realized that.]

Even in the case of a girl who died several years ago?

[She points to the screen again, clearly marking Kuzuryuu's sister.]

There is no point unless they can somehow prevent her murder.

I never thought I would be given a grave of my own.

[It's Peko's birthday when Maya's out decorating graves, something that might be obvious to anyone who'd seen Kuzuryuu earlier. She moves to sit near Ryou after Kuzuryuu's done speaking; she'd been in a little corner of the auditorium by herself, watching the screen with a small smile and answering the things he was saying. Even though neither of them can hear each other. What dorks.]

It is a strangely touching gesture.
onethirdthesoul: anime (sweet smile)

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-07-02 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
I knew Maya-chan was going to make me one, but it's still strange to see it now... It's touching, but kind of depressing too.

[Ryou had been watching the screen for quite some time, if evident by how empty his tub of popcorn was. His eyes are still on it when he initially speaks to Peko, but he finally turns to greet her once he starts up again.]

It's your birthday though, isn't it? Happy birthday. [He smiles at her.]
perfectstrike: (that's--!!)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2014-07-02 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
I beg your pardon?

[She must have misheard him. What. What. Evil spirit what. This is Bakura Ryou we're talking about. If he had a SHSL, he'd be SHSL Harmless Face.]

Is that safe?
onethirdthesoul: anime (sweet smile)

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-07-02 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Ryou was the first double murder in the castle. He's about as far from SHSL Harmless Face as it gets at this point.]

Oh, don't worry! [He reassures her with a smile.] As long as I don't put it on, he can't take over.

[As in...take over his body.

As in, Ryou has been known to willingly carry around a necklace with an evil spirit inside that possess him, and he doesn't see the issue here.]

[OF COURSE

what a weird way to say her name tho]


Then we sit. And wait. And hope they figure it out before joining us all here?

If this is the underworld, even if we do escape, I would be back again. I was slated to be executed, where I am from. Even should we find a way to escape... I have nothing to escape to, save for that castle to protect the young master. There must be a way before it is too late.
perfectstrike: (pained)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2014-07-02 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
I would not look at it as such.

[After all, HER BROTHER IS HERE TOO...]

At least you are able to be with him again, even in this manner.
perfectstrike: (unsure)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2014-07-02 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yes... though I do not see them here.

Do you know what happened to them? Sonia and Tanaka.

[Why Sonia gets her first name and NO ONE ELSE DOES is a mystery for the ages. Foreigners.]

They were both present at my trial... the last thing I remember before arriving at the castle.
