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's nice to meet you properly. We've been watching the show, but that's not really a good way to actually get to know anyone. We're here just to bring something you'll all need.

Chizuru, this is Poland.

[One of the teammates it was actually rather nice to get a break from.]
derepressed: (i really should not laugh)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-08-07 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
You mean the... "backups," right? From the old seasons?

[She's not really sure she wants to know what these episodes have looked like once the producers have finished editing them.] Thank you for doing this.

Hello... [He stares at Lithuania for a moment, and then his eyes are on the machine again. This is all a bit surreal.]

vytis: (but the ones I aim to pleaseth)

[personal profile] vytis 2014-08-07 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lithuania nods!] It's no trouble. Really, I'm just glad we can help you all out a little. Have you decided on who's going to be doing what?
speakveryclearly: Kanaya and Vriska are in schoolgirl uniforms. Vriska has a bandage on her neck and her hand on Kanaya's tie. (Schoolgirl)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-08-07 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... [With a flat hand she indicates an as-of-yet imaginary surface over the edges of the box.] Below this level should be largely safe.

[She takes the thin edge of another box between her fingers.] I take these apart for the internal dividers. In fact using them as lids will be less wasteful. [Essentially two edges can be made into a cross for quadrants. She notches them with a tear in the middle to demonstrate the theory, but:] We might use a knife for these since they'll be transported further.
derepressed: (oops i told everyone okita is sick)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-08-07 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[She glances briefly at the others before lowering her voice.]

Um, I'll be using a backup. Spain-san won't. Don't let him tell you otherwise, okay?

[She wouldn't be Chizuru if she didn't at least attempt this I am so sorry]
vytis: (I'm in the grip of a hurricane)

[personal profile] vytis 2014-08-07 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
They're not going to bite, Lenkija. [But he will stand in front of Poland if Poland wants.]
motheringnation: (Okay new plan)

[personal profile] motheringnation 2014-08-07 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ukraine will just be looking around after they arrive.]

Is everyone alright?
vytis: (dragged by the power of dreams)

[personal profile] vytis 2014-08-07 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello, Mr. Bakura. [Attempting to look less worried and more reassuring! In his defense, his default state is worried.] I hope you aren't doing too badly?
derepressed: (look at this shit. just look at it.)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-08-07 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Chizuru's expression is of the confused sort that practically screams "Is that supposed to explain why he's hiding?" - but after a moment, she nods before looking back to him.]

I see... um, Poland-san? My name is Chizuru... it's nice to meet you.
onethirdthesoul: (gasp!)

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-08-07 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been better, but... [He looks a little surprised to hear his name.] I'm sorry. I know your face, but not your name.
ladyofthehouse: http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=18237858 (you've made things uncomfortable)

[personal profile] ladyofthehouse 2014-08-07 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
... [What?]

Aren't you the gentleman who was... blown up?

[Apologies. Austria's not at her usual standard of politeness at this point.]
vytis: (dragged by the power of dreams)

[personal profile] vytis 2014-08-07 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah? Spain is...? [Lithuania's expression clouds for an instant before he pushes it away. He smiles at Chizuru.]

It's his decision to make. [And Lithuania doesn't think Spain would let someone who at least on the show had seemed so sweet take his place.] Going behind his back is a little unfair to him. ...But it's really nice of you to offer.

[ EVERYONE APPEARING OUT OF THE WOODWORK hello Ukraine you've interrupted Yuyuko hurriedly shoving one last box of dango into her gullet ]

Who--?!
vytis: (but the ones I aim to pleaseth)

[personal profile] vytis 2014-08-07 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
As much as always, yes. Everyone's made a decision about backups?
vytis: (don't you wanna curve away?)

[personal profile] vytis 2014-08-07 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah,yes. [He smiles a little awkwardly.] I was season forty-seven's mastermind, so things were a bit--uh, badly edited... [Terrible, look at how much they mangled it!] But I did get blown up.

It's nice to meet you, Miss Austria. I'm Lithuania.
vytis: (with dreams of distant love)

[personal profile] vytis 2014-08-07 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Lithuania. [One of those nation people.] I've seen you via the show, but it's nice to properly meet you.
humanic: (smile)

[personal profile] humanic 2014-08-07 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. [He gives Ian a smile.] So that leaves...two more, I think.
derepressed: (this is me pitying you)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-08-07 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
No, he isn't..! He can't...

[no one ever lets her do anything dangerous fun...]

...please, Lithuania-san? Spain-san went through so much this time around. It isn't fair to ask him to make this kind of sacrifice on top of all that, but people keep telling me "No" when I offer...

[ eyeing him

eyeing him so hard, who are all of you people are you all Kaoru's weird friends ]


...you were the one on the tape. I see you've since recovered. [ from getting blown up like a dingus ]
humanic: (sympathetic)

[personal profile] humanic 2014-08-07 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods instantly.]

It's totally cool, man. You don't have to explain things to me. We're not going to make anyone go who doesn't want to, that's the whole point of volunteering. And Chiaki needs you to remember anyway.
notyetlost: (oh like you know HA HA HA...)

[Chizuru can actually benefit from totally looking like her brother in this scenario. Poland relaxes gradually.]

Um. Yeah. Like.
motheringnation: (Today is a great day)

[personal profile] motheringnation 2014-08-07 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Have a wave.]

My name's Ukraine.

Lithuania-san. [Ryou offers him a smile, but it's just a little strained. He's been watching? All of Ryou's dumb mistakes...] It's nice to meet you too. Are you here to help us escape?
