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.

[Feferi is going to hug him.] Don't beat yourself up about it, we already got a few good digs in! [Digs, trident wounds, whatever.] You did it. She retired.

[impheired]

[And he'll actually hug back. He's getting pretty good at this hugging thing!]

You probably could've gotten away with a few more, to be honest. [Kuzuryuu, are you some kind of masochist? Like...legit question here.] She did, but this was a team effort, wasn't it? It wasn't just me. It was all three of us. We did it.

[Holy crap he has come such a long way these past eight weeks. And having his memories back is only helping with that.]

Good job, team candy apple! [The hug and Kuzuryuu's sudden acceptance of teamwork in a more obvious way does quite a bit to perk her up back to her usual levels. It even gets a glub out of her.] And we're not stuck here forever, either. My friend [she gestures to Kanaya, but come on there's not many trolls here] is going to help us get out of here once the time is right!

[impheired]

Go team candy app-- wait what? We're not!?

[Holy shit that is the best fucking news, hot damn.]

So we're not actually dead then, are we? Nightbug...Nightbug was right! [God he is so glad he talked her into using her question to ask about the dead players instead of the mastermind.]
