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.

...it isn't your fault. I think, if I were in your position... I'd have done the same thing.

[What good would fretting over it so far in advance do?]

I'd prefer not to forget. But if there aren't enough people who volunteer... can I count on you to apologize to Kaoru for me? I'll do everything in my power to remember what I'll have forgotten, but - I can't in good conscience ask anyone to forget in my place.

I don't exactly have anything good to remember. Sign me up. [ Everyone will appreciate Ian not remembering being scapegoated. ]

. . .

[chizuru has no idea what that even means

sorry kanaya]
humanic: (sympathetic)

[personal profile] humanic 2014-08-07 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
I think volunteering makes you a much stronger person than most of the people in the world. You're not weak at all.
humanic: (smile)

[personal profile] humanic 2014-08-07 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
We're not going to force anyone to go if they don't want to. Especially if they have someone important on the other side waiting to reunite with them.

Kaoru needs you with your memories intact. [He shakes his head.] As for that, it doesn't matter. Anyone could have been picked to be a designated killer. You just got unlucky.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya rendered with ugly realism, staring at the viewer like rotten meat. (Undead)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-08-07 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Kanaya's face gets that blood-drained-out look before becoming firm.] I'll do... everything I can to make him understand.

[Because Kanaya feels like she can - and that's a part of why she hated Chizuru so much at first, presenting herself as an authority when Kanaya had three years of solid experience that she couldn't openly explain. She'll have to very heavily criticize Chizuru's teammates to make the sell and diminish her culpability, probably, but that was going to happen anyway.]
humanic: (sympathetic)

[personal profile] humanic 2014-08-07 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
They will.

[A long pause. He...really doesn't want Spain to forget everything they've been through for the past three years, but he can't in good conscience be selfish and tell him no either.]

They'll have mine too. [Just so it's all out on the table there.]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya reduced to a monochrome mess of dots. Caption: "BLUH." (Flushed)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-08-07 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
[YEAH SHE GOT CARRIED AWAY IT'S PRETTY SPECIFIC]

--he really, really doesn't have those feelings! In general, for that matter!
bigthings: (whine)

[personal profile] bigthings 2014-08-07 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
[yeah Kanaya gets an equally blank look from Kouha too] Sorry, I don't speak your language. But usin' snakes in your sex life is waaaay too weird. Gross. You must be doing it wrong.

Anyway, it might not be like that now, but I think the two of you can work it out!
tyrian: (last night)

[personal profile] tyrian 2014-08-07 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Let's wait to see what everyone says. But no matter what, you're not allowed to volunteer.
bigthings: (smile)

[personal profile] bigthings 2014-08-07 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Hahaha, that loser? No waaaaay. He's not cool enough for Kaoru.

Bien. ( Good. )

It might not be permanent, right?

( He sounds as cheerful and optimistic as ever. )
derepressed: (way to stomp on my heart)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-08-07 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She still looks really uncomfortable, but she nods, at least.]

...alright, then. For his sake - this time, I'll be selfish. I don't want to forget him.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya with mercilessly raised eyebrows and a wide smirk on her teasing lips. (Smug)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-08-07 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
Nobody is cool enough for Kaoru but apparently a few people regularly see him without a shirt on.
derepressed: (doom and gloom)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-08-07 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
...thank you.

[But then Stiles straight-up says that Kaoru needs her to remember so that should probably be enough to get through to her. ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL let's just hope they get enough volunteers...]
derepressed: (YOU DID...)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-08-07 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
...good!

[because no one is good enough for her brother anyway gOD]
derepressed: (did you just)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-08-07 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
Who says we want to work it out so it's like that..?! We don't! We definitely don't!
derepressed: (doom and gloom)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-08-07 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
...

[Between Feferi, Stiles, and Kanaya, she really won't be allowed, huh.]

Okay...
psychup: (pic#7274816)

[personal profile] psychup 2014-08-07 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't know exactly what he'll forget, but it makes her sad. Even so, she's not going to join the chorus of people insisting no, not their friend, when this has to be done. So instead, she'll give him a hug.]

Thank you. I don't really want to have to repeat law school.
psychup: (pic#7271577)

[personal profile] psychup 2014-08-07 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure I'll also become friends with everyone again. Though I might have to repeat law school.
pasodoble: » general (Oɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇᴀʀᴛʜ)

[personal profile] pasodoble 2014-08-07 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
( Well, that really isn't what he was expecting but he hugs her back. It's a tight hug and he might hold on a little too long. He doesn't really want to forget everything but it's better him than his friends. )

It wouldn't be anything you couldn't handle. ( And he'll let go. ) But you've worked hard enough already.
ladyofthehouse: (flustered)

[personal profile] ladyofthehouse 2014-08-07 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
[She can see... a lot of things Spain would be better off probably forgetting but--]

What about your friends?
Edited 2014-08-07 07:48 (UTC)
bigthings: (hey now)

[personal profile] bigthings 2014-08-07 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
Ehhhh, if you say so. [There is so much disbelief in his voice. So much.]
bigthings: (whine)

[personal profile] bigthings 2014-08-07 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
It's not really impressive or anything. [As another girly 5'2" boy, he knows...]
bigthings: (wtf)

[personal profile] bigthings 2014-08-07 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, actually-- [suddenly looks like he has a horrifying revelation]

My sword! Don't tell me it's still gonna be stuck in that stupid museum!
