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.

I started yours first and finished it last on Wednesday.

[It'd felt like stab in the gut when she read those words. Glinda's and Maribelle's tears over them just twisted the knife in deeper.]

You.
When you said you loved me too. [ after he decided there to return her feelings, there wasn't a turning back ] You're so beautiful when you smile and when you're mad and when you play music and when I thought I'd never see you again I didn't want to leave you either. I could have-- should have said something then but...
I was so happy. You made me so happy. So happy I... [his voice cracks ] I hated myself.
I wanted to change for you.
no subject
I thought... since you kissed me it would be okay. Telling you something like that, despite how we were different-- or at least I thought we were different at the time.
[If she thought for a moment confessing her feelings was something that would make him upset ultimately she wouldn't have done it.]
no subject
( He kissed her. He was happy until he was alone and realized what he'd done. )
And I tried to make things go back to normal but it got worse! ( He was poisoned. ) I didn't feel like me anymore; I felt like a man and... I felt so small. ( And afraid and confused. Without meaning to, he reaches to take her hand and quickly stops himself as soon as he realizes. ) The only thing that felt right was being with you.
I still felt like I was just a man but when I was with you it felt right. I thought-- I wouldn't have minded being one if I could be one with you.
As long as I could have, I would have done anything to keep loving you. ( He would have killed someone in the game if he'd thought she'd forgive him for it. ) I would have done anything just for you.
no subject
...
Is that why you didn't say anything?
[When she murdered him.]
no subject
I thought you would retire.
( And not. Die. )
no subject
I should have told you what I'd planned.
[There's no excuse for it.]
no subject
I would have called you insane.
( But he would have gone along with it. )
no subject
But she has no right to want that sort of thing anymore, when she was the one who took it away from everyone else.]
I don't expect your forgiveness, but I am sorry for what I did to you. No one should die... but no one should have ever died in the way I killed you.
no subject
Neither can I after what I did to you. ( It's like they're even in a way that isn't really good. ) ... But I think I can forgive a brilliant woman like you.
( It was an awful way to die but with memories of his first game, he really does appreciate what she did for this round's group. )
1/2
Well what you did was still worse. [She's not even joking, she's completely serious.]
no subject
...I can forgive you too.
And maybe. [She reaches for her bag.] Once I open this and I'm entirely myself, we can avoid another ridiculous tragedy.
no subject
... I'll stay with you.
no subject
....she really had loved him.]

It's almost strange after two months of not understanding anything about herself or who she is to abruptly have it all rush back. Suddenly there's context for everything... and her purpose.
Her voice catches in her throat as she finally gains an understanding of what her relationship is with her people, and her eyes well up with tears.
Suddenly everything just... feels right and makes sense--]
no i lied. 2/3
She stares at ...Spain?]
3/3
This is not Spain.]
no subject
But no, he'll just laugh, )
Ah-- haha, stop, that tickles.
no subject
Who are you? Where is Frau Spa-- ah. [Oh right she'd been a hostage. She's probably home now that that week is definitely over and not happening again, right?]
I... I'm confused.
[What else is new.]
no subject
You know who I am. ( Now he's really just playing because he's had a couple of days longer to adapt to this. Also, he doesn't really care about the details. What is going on? Why is Austria a lady? I don't know but she sure is beautiful. And brilliant. And kind of insane. Hot. ) Mmm... I'm still pretty confused, to be honest.
But, ay, there's another Spain? And she's a lady too?! Tell me about her.
( Narcissism. Straight up Romantic narcissism and ego. )
Is she beautiful? Can she dance? I bet she can cook, right?
