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.

Ah... the part about "hearing the truth in their heart"... was that true?

[...because that does make her a little more anxious about the conversation she had with Kuzuryuu the day before, if that's so.]
onethirdthesoul: (gasp!)

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-08-01 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
This is a mess... [This is why Ryou just liked playing cheerleader, doing experiments, and the occasional investigation.]

Well, I'm sure when they find more clues things will start to make more sense. [He knew that was a pretty pointless thing to say, but what else can he say? He has no idea what to think.]

[personal profile] psychup 2014-08-01 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Why do you ask?

[Her expression is pretty cold.]
onethirdthesoul: (gasp!)

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-08-01 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[He hesitates a moment before answering, simply because of her expression.]

...I was just wondering if they were going in the right direction.
psychup: (pic#7928828)

[personal profile] psychup 2014-08-01 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I...

[She seems to be having trouble forming a response.]
derepressed: (um hey are you... alright...)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-08-01 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
...are you alright? [Her brows furrow in concern.] You don't have to say it. If it's easier, you can just nod or shake your head...
psychup: (keep pressing on)

[personal profile] psychup 2014-08-01 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
No. I didn't write this.

[Her hands are shaking.]

How dare they?
psychup: (pic#7271577)

[personal profile] psychup 2014-08-01 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I never heard anything like that.
derepressed: (say that to my face you prick)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-08-01 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[First she's relieved - and then she's angry. She spins toward the screen and balls her hands into fists.]

That means they - the producers..! They're lying to everyone again..!
onethirdthesoul: anime (something inside me)

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-08-01 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[His eyes widen with shock, and he's quiet for a while before he answers.]

...I see. Then... It must be an attempt to frame somebody. [Her shaking hands don't go unnoticed.] Athena-san, are you going to be okay?
psychup: (desk slam. say that again?)

[personal profile] psychup 2014-08-01 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm so angry. I...I...

[She really is getting emotional quickly.]

How dare they use all of those awful things to hurt everyone.
psychup: (tried to run. tried to hide.)

[personal profile] psychup 2014-08-01 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
They called it all a lie. Everything I've done. They dredged up all of those old, horrible things just to hurt everyone. And now...

They have to believe me! They have to know I would never do this!

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-08-01 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what they've been doing this entire game, I'm not surprised they would stoop this low now... [He realizes that might sound dismissive and quickly adds to it.] You have every right to be angry. But your friends are back there, I'm sure they'll realize it's a fake... They have to.

[personal profile] psychup 2014-08-01 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
They have to. It's just that...I know what they're going to find in Apollo's letter.

But I...I was going to go back home and take responsibility for that. And now they're going to think...
derepressed: (cut that shit out RIGHT NOW)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-08-01 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
The - the letter they planted mentioned a note with Justice-san's name on it. Does that mean they tampered with that too...?

Is there any low they won't stoop to?!
psychup: (pic#7386146)

[personal profile] psychup 2014-08-01 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
They wouldn't have to change anything about the note to Apollo. It's going to look so bad.
derepressed: (nO WHAT HEY STOP)

[personal profile] derepressed 2014-08-01 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Athena-san... this group of people, they've all done their best to find the truth in every trial. The producers are lying, so something somewhere isn't going to add up. They'll find it, they'll know it's a lie. It's going to be okay...
impheired: on me 'cause i got an abrasive personality and am a lil ugly, but that's ok 'cause those are my best qualities. (happy ♚ no one ever has a crush)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-08-01 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Just pointing out this interaction.]

Don't lose your cool just yet, Cykes. [He offers a small smile.] I can tell you now that one person's not going to believe this plant, no matter what you wrote in Justice's.

[Brainwaving from beyond the grave. He's like 90% certain that Nanami knows what's up. Or that she at least has a clue.]

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-08-01 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ryou shoots Kuzuryuu a smile and gives him a silent thumbs-up.]

We've always figured out the truth before. [Besides Week 2 and now apparently Week 1?!] So I'm sure they'll figure this out too.

[ Given that her impression of him right now is probably a murderer and jerk who took advantage of Maya, Phoenix elects to let someone else be the one to greet her and calm her down a bit.

When he comes over, he tries to give her a reassuring smile but all he can think is unfair it is that this happened after everything she tried to do to help them through this week. ]


Athena. How're you feeling?
impheired: mid-puke, with tears in your eyes, and asked to make sure no one took your turn at wii (nanami ♚ you looked up at me)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-08-01 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[You guys only didn't figure out week two because the DKs' teamwork was too strong. Don't beat yourself up over it too much, man, they lead you astray.]

They will. Trust me, there's nothing you could've possibly written in that letter that'll change Nanami's opinion of you. [He's actually really proud of her speaking up the way she is right now. U go, Nanami.]

[Though, lord, he hopes she can convince the rest of them.]
impheired: on instagram. if i'm not already the shame of my family, i'm about to be. (angry ♚ my little sister found me)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-08-01 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Completely unrelated to actually solving the case, but Kuzuryuu can't help but scowl throughout this conversation, his hand curling into a trembling fist on the armrest of his chair. Nanami may not know what that bomb is, but judging by the look on his face, Kuzuryuu sure does. And he's not happy about it.]

[Granted, he hasn't been happy about the sponsorships were given out on Friday, but he'd been doing his best not to think about it.]

[personal profile] psychup 2014-08-01 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Right...

[Just watching, and. Okay. Enough of them don't believe it at all. And, a little selfishly, the person she really didn't want to believe it doesn't.]

You're right. They'll understand.
psychup: (pic#7197968)

[personal profile] psychup 2014-08-01 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. You're right. They'll find the truth this time, too.
impheired: it's like god was willing me to be an asshole. i haven't filled my quota for the day (sultry ♚ man sorry about that.)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-08-01 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
If the producers really thought they wouldn't see through something like that, they're dumber than any of us could've imagined. Really...forging a note after last week... [He laughs a little.] I think I understand now why Kagamine gave me shit when I woke up here.

[HE FORGED NOTES BEFORE FORGING NOTES WAS COOL.]
