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.

[Latvia just lowers his head, scraping at the bottom of the carton with a plastic spatula. He'd lasted longer than he though he would too, completely convinced that he'd be murdered within the first few weeks but...]
You know, for a while there I really did want to die. I felt so useless, and the way I acted was such an embarrassment to my people. I was created by them, right? So I though that if I was gone they'd create someone more suitable, someone they could actually be proud of. But then when it finally happened... I was so scared, I wanted to be a better person, I wanted to help but in the end it didn't mean a thing. I just felt betrayed by everyone who had managed to become stronger from the hard times they'd gone through while I just cried and cried...
Heh, but I guess it doesn't matter now anyway. I just hope no one from home was watching. I still want to be better for them but it's only now I realise how much they twisted my sense of self. Honestly, out of all the memories they could have taken...
no subject
You're not... a total embarrassment, chill out.
Besides you're not the only one that got all mentally warped thanks to the memory loss. So. Don't worry about it.
no subject
[From Poland that actually means a lot]
Still, I mean it was on TV... I wish I could have done something cool.
It's strange, I know we're not human but sometimes I forget how human we actually are.
no subject
I mean I was obviously way cooler for getting the trial to that part with my like total brilliance but, you helped. ish.
...pfft. You can like say that again.
no subject
Well, I mean more... I don't know. Managing to solve a crime that had everyone else stumped or something, normally I just leave the heavy thinking to Estonia...
I hope he's okay. If they didn't wipe his memory after they dragged him in I'm going to have to explain a lot of things.
... I wonder why I could remember him even then, I'd forgotten everyone else. Not just you guys in the game but people like Russia as well.
no subject
Probably for the same reason they let me remember Italy. They let you have enough back that it'd motivate you to kill someone, but not enough that you'd think anything was weird.
Apparently the Mastermind killed one of Spain's citizens. That's why he felt so pressured to kill and get away with it, along with the nightmares he was having about his country being subjected to a plague.
no subject
[Wow it's sad that he actually missed that kind of passive aggression with Poland]
Was that it...
[Even after everything... He had been so confused at first, especially after he got back his memories. Spain just wasn't that type of person but now Latvia couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him]
I hope he's okay too.
no subject
I dunno. I told Susan to lay off him, because it's not like I could blame him. I'd of done the same thing in his situation.
He seemed pretty bitter when I talked to him last. Especially you know, for Spain.
no subject
A~h! But this is depressing, I don't want to talk about murder house stuff...
Um... Oh! What kinds of things are you planning on doing when you get back home?
no subject
Seriously? I spend weeks trying to not talk about depressing stuff and you wait till we're 'dead' to bring up something else? [More popcorn flicking.]
Mmm... probably enjoy using my own bathroom without four other girls hogging it. [Never mind the fact that Poland was the one notorious for taking the hour long showers.]
no subject
[He throws his spoon over in retaliation but quickly finds that he's out of ammunition]
I didn't think there was any kind of hope for anything back then! At least now I know I can go home!
no subject
[Maybe.] There's always hope!
no subject
Do you want to talk about depressing things?
no subject
Does anyone actually want to talk about depressing things? [Poland does actually look like he wants to talk about depressing things though.]
no subject
I don't know, sometimes you get people who feel the only things worth talking about are depressing.
Not that they should be ignored, sometimes it's important but when that's all you ever talk about...
no subject
...do you think Liet's really gonna be okay?
no subject
I don't know... I hope so.
To be honest I'm scared...
no subject
I think... that. He was relying on me as some kind of emotional crutch. So I wanted to stay alive not just for my own reasons but like. Also for him.
no subject
I guess I've spent so long relying on Lithuania that I forget that he needs someone to rely on too sometimes.
I just hope that this whole thing is over quickly so we can all go home. Ukraine and I were thinking of taking a holiday when this was all over, you guys should come too.
no subject
Every mistake he made felt like a thousand additional pounds on his shoulders.
That sounds good. Liet would like that.
no subject
It was really difficult to watch that trivia contest too... He really does put too much responsibility on himself.
I think he needs it more than any of us. We can go travelling, see all our friends again...
