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 reapplying jade lipstick, tainted with human blood, to her sparkling bloody face. (Preparing)

I mean that considering the frequency with which our immediate acquaintances are thrown into killing games, we should keep in mind the frequency with which these idealistic proclamations are nothing more than the concealed ideology of the tormentors themselves. [NANAMI. MARLOWE. OTHER EXAMPLES

Clicks her tongue.]
We are very fortunate that we have the force to back them up this time.

Maybe that's not such a terrible thing.

We're all supposed to be saved through this plan that was three years in the making, ja?

Even us.
ladyofthehouse: http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=18237858 (you've made things uncomfortable)

[personal profile] ladyofthehouse 2014-08-02 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Voting for Herr Nagumo would be how they'd save themselves... but it been made rather clear that that is what the Producers want.

[Also he's most likely innocent, despite the defamation of his character she's been informed of posthumously.]

Unless they want to play along, I don't see another alternative.

[Maybe this is what breaking the game looks like.]

onethirdthesoul: anime (what?!)

[personal profile] onethirdthesoul 2014-08-02 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
But Kaoru-san didn't do it! The producers aren't even playing by the rules anymore, they're just--!

[He shakes his head, angry and upset because this game was using them as pawns for entertainment, now more than ever. There wasn't anything just in any of this.] I don't know... I'm so tired of this...

[Sniffling and wiping his eyes.] I-I don't want to see anybody else die.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya staring at her computer, flickering, doing her best not to let her jaw flat-out fall onto the floor. (Appalled)

RESULTS REACTION

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-08-03 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Kanaya's just been beaming along for everything but when the votes come in and the host starts to speak more frankly... for the first time she's shrieking.]

What the fuck is he doing here?
perfectstrike: (that's--!!)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2014-08-03 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Is that--?!

[What. What. What.]
impheired: in the hallway. not pissing. hissing. like a large cat. or a komodo dragon. (shock ♚ there is someone hissing)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-08-03 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[KUZURYUU'S FACE WHEN. HE KNOWS THAT VOICE.]

Tanaka?! [UNSURE IF THIS IS A GOOD OR A BAD THING...KANAYA WHY ARE YOU SHRIEKING LIKE THAT?]
tyrian: (you gotta run from your end)

[personal profile] tyrian 2014-08-03 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Who? [Feferi is just excited about all of this!]
bloomnobly: memories of phantasm (✿ startled)

[personal profile] bloomnobly 2014-08-03 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
....you know him? [ desperately looking back and forth between him and Peko ]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya drawn in sketchy black outline on jade background, with wide eyes, sickle eyebrows, and a warped mouth. ((D8)) (Conflict)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-08-03 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
YES!!!

That's Gundam! He was not coming in here now!!

[In an unusually alien gesture instead of trying to tear out her hair she's anxiously scratching around the base of her horns.]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya with crossed arms, raised voice, and all fangs visible. Jade lipstick. (Angered)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-08-03 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
An old friend of mine!!! From our season!! Fuyuhiko dressed up as him!!!
tyrian: (you gotta run from your end)

[personal profile] tyrian 2014-08-03 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! ...I dunno, what's he doing there?
ladyofthehouse: (oh?)

[personal profile] ladyofthehouse 2014-08-03 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
So he's a former player then?
speakveryclearly: Kanaya roaring with rage and truth, fully exposing her fangs and furious glow. Jade lipstick and eye makeup. (Disproof)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-08-03 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know either!
perfectstrike: (strike)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2014-08-03 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Well he seems to be there now!

[Peko's actually. Almost vibrating.]

Does this mean we can act now?
speakveryclearly: Kanaya sparkling white, covered in human blood, which she licks off her face. Zahhak shades for extra hardcore. ((BP)) (Ready)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-08-03 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, season forty-seven, survived.
tyrian: (and swim some more)

[personal profile] tyrian 2014-08-03 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Pap!] I'm sure he has a good reason, calm down! Look, everyone abstained and survived!
impheired: at my worst, then leave because i don't have a best. i'm always awful. (talk ♚ if you can't handle me)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-08-03 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Hell yeah, I do, he's one of our classmates! The Super High School Level Animal Breeder, he was in the 47th season too. The fucker with the purple scarf and that stupid lightning bolt over his eye!

[OF ALL THEIR CLASSMATES THOUGH...]
ladyofthehouse: (heart throb)

[personal profile] ladyofthehouse 2014-08-03 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
...Is this a bad thing...?

[She was under the impression you were all working together?]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya glaring at the viewer, surprised, shiny, and indignant. A thin line of blue blood trickles down from her lips. (Caught)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-08-03 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Very soon!

[But she says that word not as a maternal platitude - instead, more like over the past few weeks, like it has lost all meaning.]
bloomnobly: phal (goshujinomocha) • pixiv id 53536 (✿ fondly? no no no foodly)

[personal profile] bloomnobly 2014-08-03 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ she looks frightened for a second, before her face dissolves into a mixture of relief and utter joy ]

...oh, dear. So, we have had someone working on the inside this entire time? No wonder Nanami-san seemed to have faith in him.

[ of course, just because he was their classmate doesn't mean he couldn't feasibly have been working against them. but he wasn't. that much was obvious from the coy rejection of the rules. ]
perfectstrike: (objection! | 意義あり!)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2014-08-03 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[KANAYA NO]

What more of a favorable situation can we ask for?!
speakveryclearly: Kanaya crying jade into her curled up left fingers, which she shakily braces with her right arm. Jade lipstick. (Aggravated Crying)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2014-08-03 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[She clamps her hands over her eyes, and shakes her head - this won't make her cry after Rin's still alive.]

He never said anything to us about him doing this!
impheired: who drunkenly chipped his teeth on the sidewalk (unsure ♚ wise words from the guy)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-08-03 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head.]

No. He wasn't the host the entire time. I would've recognized his voice the minute I had my memories back if that were the case. And he's taller than the host we've had till now. Also he's... a little...

[Gundam is a fucking weirdo. HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HOLD UP A FACADE THIS LONG.]

Nanami doesn't even remember him anyway. Something's up. Even Maryam doesn't seem to know why the hell he's shown up all of a sudden.
impheired: who drunkenly chipped his teeth on the sidewalk (unsure ♚ wise words from the guy)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-08-03 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
That's Tanaka for you though.

[HE WOULD KNOW.]
