graveyard
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.

The young master never once said, 'no, I am not part of that group.' He did not deny it. Why did he not deny it?
[Also her conversation with Phoenix has to do with this too. The last question is actually pointed toward Ryou. Come on, murdertwin. Figure it out. Don't make her say it.]
If someone should be killed, and if one of these people were on the suspect list, is it not easier to assume that they must have been the killer? All a killer needs to do is frame one of these people, then force the trial to run out of time. If that is his strategy--!!
no subject
I... No. Why would Sebastian-san do that? I won't deny that somebody might try to frame him, but wouldn't that be obvious to everyone else, too? Every trial, we've worked our hardest to find out the truth. They wouldn't jump to conclusions like that!
[Nevermind the fact Ryou tried to frame Feferi, of all people. Hindsight is 20/20.]
no subject
How many times since my death has the point been raised during a trial that one could kill someone who is likely to kill, rather than punish the true culprit?
I knew Michaelis was not to be trusted the moment he revealed his incentive during my trial. He is taking advantage of a situation in a way that will harm my young master. That is unacceptable.
no subject
[He flinches a little. It was a sore spot, but he never wanted Feferi to die for him anyway. Still, the memory of that day...]
He's not trying to hurt Kuzuryuu-kun, he's just trying to help. He's always been a lot of help, why would he be trying to do something like that now?
no subject
[She almost sounds spiteful, actually, but she seems to realize and takes a moment to breathe. An inhale, an exhale, then her voice is noticeably calmer, though her posture is no less tense.]
There is nothing that can be done for him. The young master is being forced to kill. Exposing young master Fuyuhiko in this way does him no favors. That they were caught at all may bring its own set of problems.
[She is really trying to stay calm. Really trying.]
no subject
They're just doing whatever they can to try and stop this show... And the only way they can do that is if everybody is on the same page.
It might be a problem, but... It might save the people who are still alive, too.
no subject
[She shakes her head and crosses her arms, still breathing through her nose to try to keep her voice from betraying her emotion.]
At the cost of whose lives?
[Just the mastermind has to be killed, but then...]
no subject
no subject
[She could just say 'I'm worried about Kuzuryuu' instead of trying to talk about everyone in these vague terms. But that apparently is impossible??]
I need time to think. Excuse me.
[Apparently she's bowing out here. Literally. She inclines her head and tries to move past him, though he can of course try to keep following.]
no subject
I understand that you're worried about Kuzuryuu-kun, but I think you should have more faith than to believe everybody will throw him under the bus because of this...
no subject
Walking faster.
If it were anyone else's life at stake here, she'd perhaps be more willing to put her faith in the others. But not when it's Kuzuryuu.]
