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.

In a way, this is still our punishment. We "failed", after all. [ Failed to get away with a murder, and failed to not get killed (?) ]

[Ryou buries his face in his hands, a meek whimper can be heard.]

Th-that was my first k-kiss... [Oh noooooooo...]
perfectstrike: (drew their swords and shot each other)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2014-07-24 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[That actually gets something that could almost be mistaken for a laugh from her, a quick, sharp exhalation more reminiscent of one of Kuzuryuu's bitter 'heh's than anything else.]

I had thought nothing could be worse than execution, but sitting here, watching them struggle... it certainly does seem an apt punishment.

Ah.
roadroller: (OBJECTION!)

[personal profile] roadroller 2014-07-24 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
... Y-You really are an idiot! Say that first!

[it's not her fault!!]
onethirdthesoul: anime (what?!)

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-07-24 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
I just thought it'd be fun and that anybody could jump into it... [He really wasn't thinking that far into it!]
perfectstrike: (you... |本当に信じてるの?)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2014-07-24 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
None of those sound enjoyable.

What on earth is 'never have I ever?'
onethirdthesoul: anime (something inside me)

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-07-24 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
But you kissed me before I had a chance!! [WAH. He's no longer fit for marriage!]

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-07-24 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Right... [Ryou gives her a firm nod, as if he has to convince himself as well. He's still working on it.]

Well I'm glad you're not upset, Feferi-chan. But if you were I wouldn't blame you. Now you can teach me more about how your culture works! We... We ran out of time, before.
roadroller: (sweating)

[personal profile] roadroller 2014-07-24 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Well... You're the one who made me kiss someone! ♪

[she will not take responsibility for this!!]
derepressed: (doom and gloom)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-07-24 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
...yes. I suppose we - can't deny that it got dangerous.

[She lowers her gaze to the ground and folds her hands in front of her. The expression on her face is one that Phoenix has likely seen on others many a time - guilt.]

I'm sorry... I wasn't able to protect Feferi-san. I tried, but - we were both taken down...
onethirdthesoul: anime (hmph!!)

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-07-24 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah... But you're the one who picked me. [Ryou's still blushing, and he's pouting all indignantly.]

... [He rubs his hand over his mouth. His heart was racing, this was so embarrassing...!]
perfectstrike: (indifferent)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2014-07-24 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Shows up more than an hour late with Starbucks hey friends what's happening over in this part of the theater??

No really, it's more than an hour before Peko finally makes her way over. Not until Kuzuryuu is safely awake and making his way upstairs to his room to rest. Pretend you're surprised.]


Peixes.

[Peko still hasn't gotten any better at greeting the newly dead. Also please ignore how her eyes are still redder than normal. She may or may not have been crying thinking Kazoo was dead.]

Has everything been explained already?
roadroller: (Lost Life)

[personal profile] roadroller 2014-07-24 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Cause I wanted to get back at you, duh! ♪

[but she is like ... backing off now because nope.]

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-07-24 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
You take turns announcing things you've never done and the score shifts based on whether the other players have or have not done them.
onethirdthesoul: (eh?)

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-07-24 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
...I think you're supposed to drink something every time you've done something, too.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya jabbering snarkily. Jade lipstick. (Disapproval)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-07-24 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
That's one method of scoring.
onethirdthesoul: (solemn)

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-07-24 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
We're not stopping you from watching, Peko-chan... If that's what you want to do.

[If she's harsh on herself first then whoever wants to be harsh next is nothing by comparison!]

... you don't have to thank me either.

[She looks more flustered by the thank you than anything.]
perfectstrike: (500% done)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2014-07-24 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Immediately to Bakura,] You're underage.

[So according to her and Kuzuryuu's weird morals, you are Not Allowed.]

What is an example of something one would say?

[ After Chizuru's settled down and opened her bag full of memories, she makes her way over with the least amount of hesitance possible. ]

The two of you are related, aren't you? [ She obviously means Kaoru, she doesn't feel she has to elaborate. ]
ladyofthehouse: (girl time)

[personal profile] ladyofthehouse 2014-07-24 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Ja! [That was much too loud.]

She even healed Frau Nanami und Herr Kuzuryuu-- she's far too important.

[Meanwhile Spain and herself can rot apparently.]
derepressed: (oh my god what is even going on here)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-07-24 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
He's my... brother.

[She sounds like she can't believe it. Does she believe it? She's not sure she wants to, but Kaoru is who he is and she is who she is.

...how could she have forgotten?]


You're— one of the other contestants, from his season. Um, I'm sorry, I don't... know your name. Mine is Chizuru, it's— [Nice to meet you? That's a lie, these circumstances are awful. She's left there floundering for a few moments.]
mightiswright: (there's more)

[personal profile] mightiswright 2014-07-24 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ He just shakes his head, because it's misplaced guilt he's seeing on her face. ]

You have nothing to apologize to me for. [ As far as he knows, anyway. His tone softens. ] What happened?
derepressed: (of course i look uncomfortable)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-07-24 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[WELP that was loud, yeah. Chizuru jumps a little, but manages to keep from yelping.]

I'm so glad she was there for them. They're— really going to be relying on her in the weeks to come, since Feferi-san and I aren't... able to be there anymore.

[no austria you're not allowed to rot you're our empress]
