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.

Everyone's skin got harder after 8 weeks in here, whether we like it or not. [she does seem to give a small shrug.] All of us are also quite unanimous in wanting to give the people who set this whole thing up a piece of our mind, despite the show of powers they've already displayed. They've likely messed with your memories as well, but you've definitely left clues that should lead the remaining players to the Mastermind with your exit. They know what to focus on now, at least, you've worked the hardest out of all of us to ensure that. You should be proud; the rest of the designated killers are, I can confidently say that much.

Thank you. I wish it did not have to be in the manner that it happened... And I hope that if there is a return for any of us... Our victims... My victim... Will receive it first.

worse has been done... but touko won't callously comment. she already knew, but sonia's demeanor just drives the point home again stronger than ever: too many noble and fundamentally good people are in this place. it should've been for people like herself and bernkastel, but the cards being as they are...
bah, it's far too late to think back now.]
We all heard miss May from here, too. A good ruler is charismatic and well-loved, hm? If we had to be ranked into a line, you'll be among the earlier half, no doubt.
[speaking of her victim, though... her eyes do trail around the theater, question of looking for where Poland is right now. (a reminder again, that no one during her week other than herself showed up, but... not really the time to theorize about that, not now)]

[ Her shoulders slump. ] How exactly does the time pass here?

The same as back in the manor, if the footage we're fed every day is to be believed. We can see everything that happens inside its walls from here, and at midnight tonight, there's a little recorded by-the-by from our Producer telling us what we can still do.
[a beat. (the "change" of topic may chase some of the heaviness away, hopefully.)]
Remember the sponsorship prizes? Lithium was from us, everyone here gets to vote.

We didn't get to pick what, just vote for a name. She did work magic for everyone's morale, that's a priceless thing she and you both gave to the other players during the week. I wouldn't be surprised if she continues to impress us, like her master has.

That said, there's always a certain order of business we need to shuffle through when people like us get here. ...You've already been thinking about it, haven't you?

'Loose ends', if you will.

I'll be with Kaoru and Kanaya. Don't feel obligated to stay too long, come back to us once you're done. We'll be waiting.
[in the end, it's between them. poland's too emotional, the pain must be still very raw. touko'd advise against pushing anything - heck, would be against sonia confronting him right away, but that's not her business nor her choice to make. besides, it has to be done sooner or later, and as they all already know, this game can only get worse, especially if the person still have strong ties with the living like poland does.
it just won't change the fact that the dks aren't going anywhere, especially not away from their own at this point. ...and maybe, that means a little something too.]
