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.
impheired: a fucking mess & now i'm a fucking mess but at peace with it and with cooler fashion sense (happy ♚ five years ago i was)

Ah, true. I'd hate to take away something like that from the producers.

[They deserve so many punches. SO MANY.]

You're welcome. [You have no ida how good if feels to finally be able to say that. No idea.]

You could have mentioned the being able to retire bit however.

[God she really thought you were all trapped in a cycle of endless killing!]

And not lied to me about trivia.

[She knew you were a little liar.]

Also the map!
impheired: so persistent with it, and i just wanted to run out of there in my backless gown and yell FUCK OFF BITCHES, I'M OUT (sulk ♚ he and the nurses kept being)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-07-30 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
I couldn't even admit to the existence of our group without fucking things up for all three of us. How the hell was I supposed to be able to tell you we could retire?

[No, Feferi is just a sweetheart and wanted to help!]

And what was I supposed to say about trivia? "Ah, yeah, I passed and I picked the map but I'm not sharing it??" Yeah, that would've gone over well. Not even remotely suspicious.
ladyofthehouse: (girl time)

[personal profile] ladyofthehouse 2014-07-30 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Everyone could potentially retire! It wasn't some special thing that would out your group!

And watch your language!

[Maybe she wanted to pick the map but didn't because of her horrendous sense of direction!]

Oh I wouldn't have used it against you even if I knew!
impheired: mouse traps and brownies on my porch? (unsure ♚ just wondering. did you put)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-07-30 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Not my fault you never brought it up to me in a way I could have subtly said something like "everyone can retire"! I'm not a mind reader, y'know!

[Even if he and Nanami did that freaky brainwaves thing kind of a lot in trials.]

...trivia was before Michaelis ratted us out though. If I'd told you the truth then, why wouldn't you have used it against me?
ladyofthehouse: (cheek to cheek)

[personal profile] ladyofthehouse 2014-07-30 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Huff.] Oh don't even start.

[Because she liked you, you dingus.]

In any case. I suppose it wouldn't have changed much if I had known.

[She was still gonna be reckless and destructive and chaotic good.]

impheired: for his car keys. but this time he made it to the valet garage. all the attendants gathered around and watched. (sigh ♚ as usual i had to fight him)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-07-31 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[shsl dingus, that's him.]

...you're right, yeah. Things still woulda played out this way, regardless of how much I lied.
