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.

It's disgusting... This show, and everyone who watches it. [His voice shakes. Those were strong words for the usually mild-mannered Ryou.]

People aren't toys! They're people, even if they're not human. If they can feel...

[He shakes his head.]

I know how it feels to lose your only sibling... But I can't imagine losing them like that. I wanted to meet Len-kun to...

[When Rin's eyes pop open in the theater, her first reaction is an intense rush of deja vu. But it can't hold her attention for terribly long... not after that execution of hers. Len's dead smile, watching him die... and now, where is she? If this is where they go where they die, then why is she still alone?

Her eyes flood with tears again, and her sobs and wails will likely disturb everyone else in the area.]

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-07-13 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Ryou had kind of been pacing around the theatre, waiting for her to show up. Since he talked to Kanaya and Yuyuko, most of his feelings of anger and betrayal had calmed, but they were still there. Despite his waiting, he's still caught by surprise when Rin suddenly wails from across the room. His heart nearly leaps out of his chest in a panic as he hurries over, not really sure what to do.

...So he'll do the same thing he did with Yuyuko.]


Shhh, R-rin-chan, it's okay! [Ryou places his hands on her shoulders, and then he pulls her into a hug. Any anger he had left was definitely gone for the moment. She was really dead, now...

Saying "it's okay" was a blatant lie, but it came naturally.]

speakveryclearly: Kanaya, white as cinderblocks, burning with platonic hate manifest in a dark squiggle over her head. (Bitter)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-07-13 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
You can't replace people... or make copies... at least it's not a good assumption to make as a general rule.

[Her fingers fidget wildly as she suddenly changes the subject.]

Would you like me to braid your hair. I think... it would make her laugh.
onethirdthesoul: (confused glance)

braid it like Peko's they can be twins now

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-07-13 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Ryou opens his mouth to respond to that, but then...braids?? He seems to be in disbelief.]

Um... [He generally didn't like people touching his hair.] Okay...
bigthings: (play)

[personal profile] bigthings 2014-07-13 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
Right? Right? [he just looks so proud of himself right now] I ain't really done much acting before, but I think I've got a talent for it! Totally coulda fooled everyone if she channeled me.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya very serious over a needle and thread in her hand and mouth. (Determined)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-07-13 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
Alright... [So she drifts behind him with that spooky vampire silence and starts to braid his hair. Having something to do with her hands is calming her down a little. I am too tired to look up a hairstyle but trust me it looks majestic.]

Done. [She says from over his other shoulder.]
onethirdthesoul: (eh?)

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-07-13 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
[He's kinda tense as she works on his hair. People touching his hair is really not his thing...! But he lets her. His hair isn't exactly a straight cut, so there's tufts sticking out of the braids here and there.

When she's done he tilts his head a bit from side to side.]


...It feels weird.
Edited 2014-07-13 07:41 (UTC)
speakveryclearly: Kanaya looking up, flickering gently, thoughtful. (Learning)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-07-13 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
[She tilts her head to appraise him from this angle.]

...I have been told it takes some getting used to.
onethirdthesoul: (solemn)

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-07-13 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
[He will likely take it out as soon as Rin's done laughing at it and Kanaya's not looking...]

Well, thank you... [HE GUESSES.]
roadroller: (*tear*)

[personal profile] roadroller 2014-07-13 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
[her vision is so blurry she can barely tell who ran up to her at first (especially because different hairstyle??)... but it clears a bit when he gets close enough to put his hands on her shoulders. Her eyes widen as she at least recognizes the features on his face.]

R...Ryou-kun...?

[she manages to choke out between sobs. What he's saying doesn't really register through the confusion, so the false platitude goes unacknowledged. But if she's not alone, then surely! She reaches up and grips his shoulders back, her fingers clutching into his clothes.]

- Where is he? Where's Len? ♪
speakveryclearly: Kanaya glowing and not sure what else to do with herself; with a flat expression, she has just arrived on the scene. (Arrival)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-07-13 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods and she'd be okay with him doing that, honestly. It's the moment that counts.

She lets a silence hang between them as the voting progresses towards the results. When Rin thanks her sponsors for providing the original song, Kanaya steps away from Ryou to put her face in her hands. Guitar suited Rin better than piano as a final instrument to play.]
onethirdthesoul: (horror)

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-07-13 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
Y-yeah...

[There will be time later for scolding. Right now, Ryou has to figure out how to break it to Rin. He's not sure if he can, so his grip just tightens around her.]

Ah... [Oh no... He can't do this... He's starting to cry. Ryou barely manages to get his next words out.] H-he's in Heaven now...
roadroller: (close my eyes and escape)

[personal profile] roadroller 2014-07-13 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Rin breathes in sharply, and then slowly lets go and covers her eyes back up with her hands. If that was supposed to comfort her, it failed miserably.

They didn't go to the same place. Even though they both died. What does that mean? She really is alone. Possibly forever. This is, for Rin, a fate worse than death.]


...Aaaaghhhhh!
onethirdthesoul: (sad puppy)

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-07-13 10:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Ryou has to make a conscious effort to not pull away, because that scream had been right in his ear.

It's probably a little too late to take back what he said, and he feels completely awful for it, but at the end of the day... What else could he have really said? Probably a million things.]


R-rin-chan... [He rubs her back a little. Maybe he should just give her a moment.] I know, I know...
perfectstrike: (hm?)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2014-07-13 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Peko has spent most of the entire last week to herself. Since the metaphorical lid to the Smoking Room had been literally blown off, actually.

Yuyuko's yell about Shogi attracts enough of her attention (and Kuzuryuu doesn't currently happen to be on screen) that Peko does make her way up there, though more to see what Yuyuko's put together than out of any real interest to play.

She just pauses in the door and looks toward the board with some confusion.]

He was executed and ended up here. We eventually caught the Mastermind, but it wasn't over after that. [ A grim expression falls onto her features. ]

The rest of us... after we figured out what was going on. We saved twelve people from this place. Kaoru was one of them...
roadroller: (there's just something in my eye!)

[Probably... after all, she's still not even sure why he's here, or she for that matter. It doesn't make sense, but her thoughts are a blur right now. Deciding she doesn't care, she just buries her face in his shirt and cries until his shirt is soaked and she can't cry anymore.

Finally, she pulls back and wipes her eyes, putting her shaking hand back down to grip the theater seat.]


Ryou-kun...

[she's not sure whether she wants to thank him, apologize, or just bawl about Len some more. She looks up at him as she decides.]
roadroller: (block it out)

[personal profile] roadroller 2014-07-13 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[and she finally notices how he looks. It's absurd enough that it sticks, though she's not laughing yet.]

What's with the hair...?
perfectstrike: (coconut smash)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2014-07-13 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[HEY FRIENDS WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THIS THREAD but no, Peko really can't let Yuyuko keep attacking him like this for the same reason why she would step in with the two Rens and Ryou. Peko takes several quick steps forward, not quite positioning herself between Yuyuko and Phoenix, but within range to leap in should she so choose. Which she won't.

She will yank the red scarf from around her neck and try to use that to at least bat some of the bullets away. Man. If only she hadn't given her shinai to Apollo. Well done Peko.]


Saigyoji. Stop. This will accomplish nothing.

[ her arm halts in the middle of throwing out another handful of petals, not wanting to harm Peko more than Peko's words actually moving her. Without a word, they dissolve into the air--although the ones still flying will burn right through Peko's scarf and leave scorch marks. SORRY NOTYOUMU.

Her expression is more hurt and confused than angry, though. She says nothing. ]

Week 7 Ball Outfits

[personal profile] hollowheart 2014-07-13 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Guess who's gone to nap every time there's been a ball (and being quietly thankful she doesn't have to attend). Guess who's paying a bit of attention this time around, scrutinizing the selection, almost.]

I never thought I'd see that uniform again.

[He doesn't even care about his shirt right now. Rin could blow her nose on it for all he cared, because hearing her cry like that was heart wrenching. He knew what it felt like to lose a loved one suddenly, he knew what it felt like to lose them violently. There was no peaceful death for Amane and his Mother, and there wasn't one for Len... Or Rin.

Ryou lets her pull back, taking a seat beside her so he doesn't have to keep standing. He might be here a while, and he flips the armrest up so it won't get in the way.]


...Kanaya-san thought you might find it funny. [At least it...distracted her? Ryou doesn't really express any emotion as he says it. He's thinking about other things, really.]

I missed you, Rin-chan... But I'm sorry we had to meet again like this.

[ This cheers Rapture up immensely! Who better to suit her than the man who reminds her a little of (a much lower graded) Riot? The smirk one her face is one that's obviously pleased. ]

This is a far better theme than any of the others before!

She does look rather good in my-- in that outfit. A pity they never included the full gear. That would have been interesting. [They'd already given then bombs, why not 3DMG?]
