graveyard pt ii

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.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya with her arms around Karkat's neck, staring at him silently though he's bored and uncomfortable. Jade monochrome. (Devotion)

[GOOD DECISION MAKING, WIFE. Kanaya will step aside to let this happen and remain one step behind her. She is here to support Annie and Stiles in this trying time of their fraught reunion.]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya at her computer, looking down in disappointment and worry; interestingly, jade lipstick and eye makeup. (Abandoned)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-08-03 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Kaoru and Stiles were one thing... We talked about this after you were captured... but Gundam...

[Gundam had one job! Look at this despair, Spain.]
psychup: (i'm stronger than you think.)

[personal profile] psychup 2014-08-03 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you, Ryou. I really appreciate it. I'll get the guts to open my bag soon...!

[For now, though, she's just going to deck change into these clothes. Pulling that top on and sliding off her bra. Feel awkward.]
psychup: (happy ending)

[personal profile] psychup 2014-08-03 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! I'm so happy...I'm so happy there were people who wanted to help us all along!
psychup: (i know you won't let me down)

[personal profile] psychup 2014-08-03 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Um...

[Not so great. Not great at all. She wanted to live really badly, and she feels like she failed everyone now. But.]

I'll be fine, I think!

Spain!

[After her initial panic, she's been able to put on a brave face pretty quickly. But when she sees him, it all threatens to crumble. She thought of him, after he died, as the person who had really understood and cared about her. Maybe that wasn't ever really how things were when he was alive, but it still makes her happy and also very sad to see his face again.]

Oh...you're really here...I'm so sorry. I really wanted to keep going.

( The host was Stiles. It was Stiles. Stiles was there! And that meant he would be here too, right? As soon as Stiles shows up, Spain stumbles over to him. Look at this loser, he's practically jumping over chairs to get their faster.

When he gets there, he's grabbing onto Stile's suit, checking it close. That's it. It's the same suit! Then that means he was really...?

Just. Touches Stiles' face.
)

You're here!? ... And you were there too!?

( I mean, 'sup, amigo. )

You knew? ( Not about Gundam, apparently, but Kaoru and Stiles? Kanaya, this is just a lot to process right now. ) The entire time...?
humanic: (confused)

[personal profile] humanic 2014-08-03 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Ow! [THANK YOU ANNIE. TRULY YOU ARE A GREAT FRIEND.] What was that for, my head's been through enough trauma recently thank you!

[too...soon...?]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya grumbling with one hand pressed to her face. Jade lipstick. (Frustration)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-08-03 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

[Gesturing towards the theater helplessly.] You had a lot to process, and we've been on camera.

Sí, here we are! It isn't as nice as Heaven but it'll do for now.

( Arms spread out to show off the entire theater for her to see. But also because he's going to come and hug her. )

It isn't over yet... so don't apologize.

( . . . Oh. Oh. )

This is good? Or it was... is it still? I mean, Kaoru knows everything but... Ah, wait! Stiles! Is he going to come here too?

( The producers aren't going to... hold him back or anything, are they? They can't do that, right? STILES WHERE ARE YOU. )

Just checking for the wound. [Do you want Annie hugging you, instead? Because that could have been momentously even more awkward.]

speakveryclearly: Kanaya, bitterly pale, frowning over being pushed away and ignored by Rose Lalonde. (Rejected)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-08-03 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Frowning intensely suddenly--]

I thought the hostages and staff got their own weird cinema purgatory or nothing at all. But--

[IF THIS IS WHAT STILES DID

WOW]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya ivory and angry, shouting at her conversational partner, leaning in too. (Antagonism)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-08-03 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Did you plan this?

[That question is for Stiles. ANNIE'S IN THE RIGHT HERE, SAYS KANAYA, HER EVER-RELIABLE WHITEKNIGHT EVEN THREE YEARS LATER.]
humanic: (shock)

[personal profile] humanic 2014-08-03 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Considering that he hasn't exactly been up to date on what's been going on in the game for the past week, Athena showing up does not seem to be making him feel any better. In fact, it seems to be freaking him the fuck out as he just stares at her in complete horror.]

You - what are you doing here? You're not supposed to be dead! Who killed you? Oh my god, did they fuck up? Did we fuck up? Shit, we totally fucked up, oh my god it failed we failed we're going to be stuck in this game forever--

[Yeah, his panic attack is getting a lot worse now.]

[personal profile] psychup 2014-08-03 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, good, she could use a hug. Squeezing tightly.]

Kanaya and the others, right! We just have to trust them!

( Doris didn't show up in the graveyard last time.. When Kanaya basically thinks the same thing he'd been thinking, he purses his lips. No way. And then he looks resolved. )

He'll be here.

( #optimism. )
psychup: (happy ending)

[personal profile] psychup 2014-08-03 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Shhh. The cloth is for your face. Cold water really helps.

[Said in a calming voice. Chill out.]

No one fucked up! I got killed by the producers and they wrote a really stupid note and everyone saw through it in a second. No one even voted.
humanic: (upset)

1/2

[personal profile] humanic 2014-08-03 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey, Spain. It's been a long nine weeks and also he had to watch you die, so Stiles is just going to reach out and pull him into a tight hug for a few minutes without saying anything. Might be clinging and tearing up a little bit here, it's all super manly.]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya cringes as she looks at something skeptically. Jade lipstick. (Doubt)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-08-03 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[SHONEN STUPIDITY HAS GOTTEN THEM THROUGH THE GAME THIS FAR... she's struggling to make her face do the same resolution.]

That expiration date for us... won't come to pass.
humanic: (frustrated)

2/2

[personal profile] humanic 2014-08-03 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[And then he'll take a leaf out of Annie's book and smack Spain upside the head, though it's not hard.]

Who takes food and drink from people when they're deadweight, I can't believe I saved your ass just so you would get poisoned again two weeks later!
humanic: (unsure)

[personal profile] humanic 2014-08-03 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
[YES HE WOULD LIKE AN ANNIE HUG STILES IS THE MATER OF AWKWARD HUGGING OKAY]

I think the wound would have been a lot more noticeable if it was still there. And yes, I totally planned to be tortured for a week and then shot in the head, I am just an incredibly diabolical genius like that. My next plan is to get recaptured and sent back into the game because boy, this has just been so much fun.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya looking up, flickering gently, thoughtful. (Learning)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-08-03 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we have a lot more than that. I'm not sure about some of them but I know Mei won't give up on us, and one person is all it takes. [AS THE SURVIVAL OF STILES PROVED UNTIL A SHORT WHILE AGO HAHAHA] I'm glad nobody held your ghostship against you in that respect.

( Nooo, Athena. Have all of the hugs you want because he's going to hug her just as tight and give her a quick kiss to the forehead. He's so proud of you Athena, so proud. And this week is obviously just a minor set back for her, right?! )

Well, there are all of our friends too! Mine can't do everything by themselves.
