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.

If I say "we continue to wait", will you punch me, because I know I'd like to punch somebody so I completely understand if doing that would make you feel better.

But from the sounds of things...we don't have a whole lot of time to wait around. [Gundam keeps talking about an expiration date and he really doesn't like the sound of that, tbh.] So we should be working on a goddamn plan while we're waiting, yeah? Since it sounds like whatever you had in the works isn't going to happen now.

[Putting a hand to her temple. Think, Maryam, think. She's avoided doing the thinking - like this. The plan was never of her personal sole devising. Look at what happened the last time she was left to execute something so serious with her own devices: Rin, still alive and well - thank goodness for that!]
There are several key elements that are still in place - and I use the word "key" deliberately. [Please appreciate her lexicon in this trying time, Fuyuhiko.] We know there's a way. We knew from the start that there was a way. He can find it...
