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.

Then that's really dumb, right? Why would you write emails back and forth in a language you both had to translate?

[This seems to settle Feferi down a bit, too.]

Well, it isn't very "mundane" when you're playing

It's more "annoying."

Let's just hope Herr Justice and the rest of the lawyer collective are able to see the forest for the trees, since Michaelis seems to have become lost in the woods.

[She's not even bothering with pleasantries for him anymore.]

Peixes...

[DAMMIT FEF]

Nanami does not seem the be saying that all of it is a lie. If she is not the killer, why will you not say who is?
hacklimate: (THINKING ► hm.)

[personal profile] hacklimate 2014-07-26 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Interesting... Could it have been a virtual reality, do you think? And Nanami-san... could she have been an AI all along? Though I suppose you wouldn't remember if she was an AI based on an "actual" person, or not...

Hm. [ He considers that. ] So they're pulling from what happened on your island of mutual killing...?

[ if the bear appears he stg this will be such bullshit ]

They never had a choice to begin with either.

They're probably being threatened some how just like everyone else. ( ... ) Or promised something valuable.

( If you... want to go the Touko route. )

[Peko smiles. It's not a nice smile. Peko can't do nice smiles if she tries. But an attempt was made to convey amusement. Don't judge her.]

I'm certain they will.

It's another ridiculous lie. Another plague ghost story. ( This game is so offensive. ) No one is going to buy that.

( NERVOUS GLANCES AT THE SCREEN. RIGHT?????

Also can we talk about "Dr. Marlowe" later.

...it wasn't Nanami-san. Please, Pekoyama-san, can't we leave it at that?

[Chizuru looks upset. She's looked upset the whole time, but she looks even more upset now.]
ladyofthehouse: (oh?)

[personal profile] ladyofthehouse 2014-07-26 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
[It took her almost a solid month to realize it. At least for non-petty reasons.]

You're the computer expert, ja? [Austria doesn't really understand too much about technology, she's a little old fashioned in that respect.]

This must seem even more ridiculous to you.

[Sigh.]

I think enough intelligent people are left at this point to outweigh the opinions of the morons.

[ she looks hurt, briefly, as though she'd been slapped, before compressing her expression back into an impassive mask ]

--suppose it is the logical conclusion.

You have been involved in this game long enough to know why we should not.

Is it something you would prefer to discuss privately?

[Peko god give it a rest.]
derepressed: (yes of course it hurts you dumbass)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-07-26 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
I would prefer not to discuss it at all. But it - it wasn't Nanami-san.
derepressed: (you will definitely pay for that)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-07-26 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
. . .

[When she finally speaks, her voice is small.]

Now that I have my memories back, I can think of several reasons why he would want me dead. "It couldn't have been Kaoru because he would never kill Chizuru"... that isn't the kind of thinking that is going to help anyone.

You're protecting someone.

[It's less a question than a statement. Peko looks... at once concerned, and oddly relieved.]

That's why you will not say who?
derepressed: (ok sorry that was rude)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-07-26 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
No... I'm not protecting anyone. I failed at that once already... [She glances at Feferi - sorry she wasn't able to keep you from getting killed, friend.] ...even I'm not dumb enough to try doing so again.
ladyofthehouse: (side glance)

[personal profile] ladyofthehouse 2014-07-26 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
[She lived with Germany. She couldn't laugh at a terrible smile even if she tried now.]

The case at hand is what the rest of them seem to be focusing on anyway. So if they can find the culprit regardless of the distraction it should be fine.

[She hopes at least.]

... Sí. ( He can hope. ) This is what the producers want everyone to believe... they should know by now to not trust them.

( Like, that video man. But he is legit concerned for mastermind too now. Gosh, like he didn't have enough worrying about the DKs. )

Super High School Level Programmer, yes. It's... [ s i g h s ] I built an AI myself, so I can believe that. Virtual reality is even plausible. It being corrupted isn't far-fetched.

It's the details that are ridiculous. Nanami-san doesn't behave like a rogue AI, particularly one that wants us to murder each other, and... well, obviously despite having been "killed within the program" we're still here. And where would the television show fit in...? It's just so... [ there's no word for it ]

And it's just terribly obvious, isn't it? Secret key in a passageway they had to find for the investigation, just so happens to lead to a safe behind Nanami-san's portrait... and it happens to claiming all these things, and telegraphing the idea that Nanami-san needs to die... it's a set-up. Honestly, I'd not be surprised if the entire trial is a set-up, just to drag them on some idiotic goose chase.

[ also dr marlowe cmon he knew her for five minutes that woman was not an doctor pls pls ]

( Sorry Yuyuko he has a lot of feeling about Producer plots :c )

I wonder if every season had a ridiculous backstory. Y'know, I doubt most of the people in this game would ever kill if they weren't forced to in the first place.

[wow chill your brackets yuyuko that's chizuru's mother you're ranting about while trying to insult kaoru...]

No, you don't. But Kaoru... I don't know the exact circumstances of your meeting, other than that in another "game" of some kind... but he is no stranger to lying.

Perhaps he said that to you. But I don't think he was... sincere. He hates me far too much for that.
