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.

Much obliged, and glad you understand. Can't just let someone get the best of me without makin' 'em pay for it when I get the chance, of course.

[ He shrugs like this is perfectly obvious and sensible ]

Seems like you're feelin' better not havin' to put on airs too, by the way. What you said to that hamster kid, that was perfect. Wish I could've said the same.

And I would certainly not strip you of that satisfaction, should he end up here. [Kaoru can do that much at least! apparently he finds it perfectly obvious and sensible, too...

that gets a definite grin, though.]

Seven weeks is a long time to keep up something like that, so I do feel much better. I can only assume the same goes for you? [and then a look of genuine amusement.] Ah, he was truly insulting... Even though I was not able to voice everything that I wished, I am certainly glad that I managed that much. I am also glad that you appreciated it.

Of course. Unfortunately, I'm a man of opportunity, so I never quite saw my chance to strike, you know? There's a few people I would've liked to knock off, but I ain't one for plannin', especially since even the ridiculous shit people come up with gets solved. It's a disappointment that the one that killed me is exactly somethin' I would've done, and it didn't get solved.

[ He shrugs helplessly ]

But without dwellin' on that too much, since it's a bore anyways, certainly wished you could have. I have a feelin' we probably shared thoughts on most of the people left.

To be honest, I'd have rather not struck at all. It was simply part of my obligation as a member of the designated killers. [a shrug as well! WHOOPS murder.]

That had to have been a nuisance, though... Being killed like that, I mean. A little lackluster, yes? [shakes his head...] Ah, I have a feeling that you are correct, though. Opinions such as - "Felicia Marlow is self-righteous and disgusting to listen to" or "Susan Sto Helit is intelligent in all of the wrong ways" perhaps?

[ His eyebrows raise in light surprise at the first part, but the second just makes him laugh, shaking his head. ]

You got it all right! All the dames worth bein' around are here, in my opinion, exceptin' maybe Alice, but. [ Still too JUSTICE for his tastes sometimes... give him a bad bitch his tastes are the worst ] It's a damn shame you didn't get to tell 'em all a little more. It's kinda sad that every week they talkin' about bein' morally superior as if that matters. Survivin' is all that matters.

[everyone here deserves each other... except maybe like three people dang]

I do not find her to be of much interest, to be honest. [because too JUSTICE, yes.] If the delivery of my plot did not rely on the recipient being dim, I would have targeted her for a kill, though. I do apologize that you will not be able to converse with her... [he doesn't look sorry at all.]

Ah, you would think that they would have figured such a thing out already. You know, when Felicia was celebrating Kanaya's death as a moral victory, I'm surprised that I was able to keep from killing her on the spot.

No apologies necessary. I mean, odds are, she'll show up eventually, right? Only one person gets to "win," as far as they know it.

[ but he still chuckles ]

I guess we'll see how long she lasts, in any case. As good a job as you did actin' kind and concerned, I have a feelin' that no one is gonna trust anyone else.

Most likely. That's going to take so long, though... [11 players left!! Kaoru doesn't like the idea of being stuck in limbo for another five or six weeks, waugh.] To be honest, I believe that the game will stop once the last of the designated killers has died. I hope, anyway. Two is more manageable than 11...

[and Kaoru laughs right along with that...] True! I guess I should be glad that I can watch the paranoia unfold. Perhaps it will be so strong that they begin to turn against each other? What a good death that would be for the morally just. [can you hear the air quotes clyde]

[ he absolutely can ]

You can only hope, right? That'd take care of the problem of the designated killers havin' to do all the work.

And it was a good deal of work. [COMPLAINS LOUDLY about being a murderer...]
