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.

[he would not at all be surprised.]

I almost wish that we had a follow up performance... Seeing that sort of reaction twice would have been amusing. [a sigh! such regrets.]

...He was the person you were married to, yes? The one that you mentioned earlier when you spoke of your home?

[notyetlost]

[There's always a theater encore. Especially if he finds out what Poland said about screwing.]

Mmm... [Poland still looks kind of embarrassed he was cheating on his husband with his husband who is actually no longer his husband.] Yeah, that'd like. Be him.

[souredsweet]

[maybe his freakout will boost ratings even from the graveyard...]

Latvia said that he was looking forward to you regaining your memories of that. [Latvia is apparently very invested in the romcom aspects of murder manor.] It looks like you had nothing to worry about, then.

1/2

[notyetlost]

Latvia's kind of a douche. [Don't get invested in his love life you guys!]

[notyetlost]

But yeah. Looks like it.

And I was totally divorced by 1863 too, so I didn't cheat on Liet with France either! [WHAT A RELIEF.] I'm like totally pure to the max!

[souredsweet]

[poland don't be mean to the dead old kid gosh]

Mm, well, he was not alone in his interest. There isn't much else here to do, you know, outside of watch. [a nod toward the screen! surely it's reassuring that a whole bunch of dead murderers and some victims have been laughing over apparent affairs for weeks.]

No need for a moral crisis then, right?

[notyetlost]

[if he isn't mean to latvia who will be tho]

This show is gonna be so boring without me. [whine whine whine]

I thought I woke up in hell when I got here. [Murderers and adulterers!]

[souredsweet]

[he can pick up some of the slack, he already got latvia executed and all WHAT'S A LITTLE TEASING...]

Don't complain. Now you can watch instead of worrying. [a shrug, which is followed by a laugh.]

I had to learn a little about Christianity from Touko during that scavenger hunt. Even if it is not like the "hell" illustrated in those books, I would not say that it's far from accurate.

[notyetlost]

I hate watching! [Poland is a do-er!]

Ugh, oh my god you're right!

[souredsweet]

These weeks are going to be very difficult for you to enjoy if you look at it like that.

[but hey at least everyone in the theater will still have Poland-based entertainment!]
