graveyard pt ii
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.

No, thank you. I'm okay.

[Athena is tough as nails as far as Chizuru is concerned! She smiles faintly.]
Um - are there any questions you want answered..? I don't know how everything in this place works, but...
no subject
[She sounds pleased but sort of uncomfortable. She doesn't feel very strong right now.]
Has everyone really been sitting in this theater for months now?
no subject
[Even if they probably really would have preferred to be seeing her on the other side of the screen. Athena shouldn't have had to die.]
I think so. Some of them were here even before Ren-san was killed the first week, and the others... they've talked about having seen what we were up to even after they died on that screen.
no subject
Why would they do this to us? Is there anything we can do to help them, or let them know that we're still here?
no subject
...oh, but we weren't responsible for all of you getting something this week. That was something the producers were doing... I think.
no subject
I just want to be able to tell them I'm okay. I feel awful. [Watching them find her body now. Apollo and Klavier :( ]
no subject
...you'll be able to see them again. [She understands completely how Athena feels - watching them discover her and Feferi had been terrible.] Feferi-san's friend and the others from the forty-seventh season... they have a plan to save all of us. So when it starts, you'll be able to see them and show them that you're okay.

...actually! I wanted to thank you for that. Um, especially your idea with the pajama party... it was a good one.
no subject
[Not so good at taking compliments.]
no subject
[JUST ACCEPT THE COMPLIMENT... but, no, she understands having a hard time taking them, so after a moment she smiles and makes an attempt at changing the subject.] Anyway, um..! When you get the chance to, you really should speak with Kanaya-san, Rapture-san, or... Annie-san? [She hasn't spoken to her yet, just heard her name.] They're very inspiring people.
