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.

May I see what you've done?
no subject
Well there's a few books. The bags are a bit random in what they give you. Besides it gives me something to do while watching the screen.
[She'll pull out a few knitted blankets from the seat beside her. They're well done and random colours. Also folded neatly.]
I've been making some blankets mostly. I thought people might like to take a nap when things are dull and that might help. Would you like one?
no subject
he glances toward his own bag at that before opening it up and pulling out a gold clip. seems like the mystery producer has a REALLY BAD SENSE OF HUMOR... he still hasn't gotten over that apparent execution even if he's not dead.]
I cannot offer you anything in return. My bag has been somewhat useless. [he had pulled out a flute earlier, though. maybe he can serenade people...] But if it would give you something to do... Still, are you not bored of knitting?
no subject
That's alright, it will help me pass the time. And I'm getting bored but not there yet. Maybe a few weeks from now....but I can take breaks and read when the there's nothing to watch on the screen.
Are there any colours you'd like?
no subject
he seems to think this over before nodding.] All right, then. Red, maybe... [after trailing off somewhat uncomfortably, he shifts topics.]
What books are available?

I suppose I will have to settle with conversation and watching the screen for now.
