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.

What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here! Go back to life! Don't die just so you can hit on my sister again, you creepy old man! [hi Spain...]

[pasodoble]

Huh? ( OH IS THAT KOUGYO-- oh, no, its just her... maybe brother? Wow he'd... almost forgotten about you to be honest, oops. THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR DYING IN THE FIRST WEEK. ) So you're really related?

( wait )

Ay! What are you talking about?

[bigthings]

Of course we're related, dumbass, you think we just had the same last name and were royalty from the same country by accident?

You know perfectly well what I'm talkin' about! [does he really] Don't pretend you're not some gross old pervert!

[pasodoble]

I can't really see the resemblance. The princesa is much cuter.

( Spain that's exactly what he was talking about. )

Hm? Did you say something?

[bigthings]

Shut up! Creepy old men like you don't get to call my sister cute! If I see ya toyin' with her heart again, I'll kick your dick in until you turn into a girl yourself!

[pasodoble]

( He's really ready to laugh it all off and smile away his stay here until the heart comment. His smile drops off his face instantly and it's hard to tell if Spain feels smaller or if Kouha seems bigger to him. Do you see this face??? This is the face of someone that's just been whipped. )

S-sí. ( Yes sir. General. Sir. ) Of course.

I'll be careful.
