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 mansion, 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.

There are no other doors in the hall save for the one leading back into the theatre room. There are also no windows; it is impossible to tell where you are and what is going on in the outside world. Any attempts to break out will fail. So in the meantime, why not sit back and enjoy the show?

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.

Spain was a good actor, he deserved the credit. Heh, I always did thought his stupidity may be surprising. And how!

[SORRY clyde you're an adult you can take care of your own delicate feelings. touko's still cracking up--

--okay not really, but she can still APPRECIATE what happened, because morals what are those.]

[herpreciousrival]

He was quite impressive wasn't he?

[She was totally right to pick him for an exciting prize. Although Kaoru made this trial pretty fun too.]

[aozaki]

He is, although I don't envy him. Being locked up like that is a fate worse than death.

[...]

He better be allowed to attend the ball. I'm a little sore that I missed out on it by a week, you know?

[#PRIORITIES...]

[herpreciousrival]

We were all captives of the house, his cage has only gotten a little more cumbersome to move around in.

Miss Leonhardt managed to gain back favor with some of the residents, I'm sure Spain also has the opportunity. He's so much more charismatic.

[Priorities indeed!]

Ahh, I too wish I had managed to survive long enough to at least get a costume. That looked like so much fun, I love to play pretend.

[aozaki]

[she laughs cheerfully.]

Their circumstances are vastly different, I'm afraid Spain's quest for redemption will be a lot more difficult than Annie's. Still, I'm sure his sunny dispositions will pull him through!

I know, right? Rapture's the only one left who knows how to gave fun up there, at this rate. It's quite unfortunate.

[coca_cola]

Won't ever be able to agree with you on that one, I'm afraid. If he ever shows up here, I'm going to beat his fuckin' face in. Just for peace of mind.

[ But!! His delicate feelings aside, there are more important things here. ]

We had a mansion full of actors and actresses, right? You'd be one of them too, since I wouldn't have guessed a beautiful woman like you would be up to dismemberin' someone. I was honest about that part, at least.

[aozaki]

He's still a nation, I suggest you watch your step.

[and SNORTING...]

Isn't beauty usually a measure to danger, not goodness and innocence?

[coca_cola]

[ yeah ignoring that first part!! his pride is wounded okay!! But he does laugh too. ]

Oh, you're probably right about that. Every beautiful woman I've met has been trouble in one way or another, but there's a big difference between the kind of trouble I'm used to versus dismemberment.

[aozaki]

How often do you meet them in manors hosting murder games, though?
