murder manor - reunion part II

murder manor reunion



[You are in a darkened theater.

In front of you is an enormous cinema screen. On it plays video of the manor, 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.

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?]

Murder Manor reunion week continues! This week is taking place outside the game (and will not be remembered by the living characters). Once the week is over, the living characters will be right back where they left off, Sunday night in the manor.

During the times when Doris is taking questions, characters will not be able to talk about things that are 'off topic.' They can talk and reunite with one another, but need to focus on things relevant to that week or topic of discussion. Any time they get off topic, they will find themselves stuck trying to make the words come out of their mouth and will simply trail off. There will be breaks where characters can talk without this restriction, but the same will happen to anyone who, at any time, starts trying to talk about anything to do with there being a Mastermind or player to benefit from the game or planted player who isn't Lithuania. Codes and other attempts to get around this rule will still result in trailing off.

All the living characters have now arrived, and all characters may participate, although Yuzu is not here and characters may notice Belarus, Clyde, and Michael Altman seem to be empty shells.

In your wedding, who will wear the gown and who will wear the suit?

[ Feeling like she doesn't need to specify the other person??? ]

[hollowheart]

[Staring philosophically at the wall because wow how depressing.]

I don't think I'll live long enough to wed. But I think a dress would suit a delicate, frail girl like myself.

[teenspirit]

D-don't say that! Every maiden deserves to see the happiest day of her life!

[hollowheart]

Maybe if I get married here.

[souredsweet]

[CHIMING IN FROM NOWHERE]

You might as well. There isn't anything better to do, murder aside, right? [murder and marriage manor...]

[hollowheart]

Truth or dare? [did he think he was getting away with it?]

[souredsweet]

[wow Annie yes he did!! though it practically isn't a choice at all because >Kaoru and anything related to truthfulness...]

...Dare?

[hollowheart]

I dare you to find someone to style your hair into something different and keep it that way for the entirety of the evening.

[souredsweet]

[and here he was getting kind of fond of his crown braid! but that seems doable as far as dares go, so he nods.]

All right... I'll be back, then. [TIME TO START LOOKING FOR SOMEONE.]

[hollowheart]

[plz come back with selfies]

[souredsweet]

[he doesn't come back with selfies but he does come back minus like over a foot of hair...]

It will last longer than an evening, but I will assume this is sufficient.

[hollowheart]

[She will choke on her drink because that's certainly is not what she had in mind when she sent him off but damn does it look nice.]




You look like a guy.

[speakveryclearly]

[KAORU YOU JUST WANT TO BE THE BEST MAN DONT YOU]

[souredsweet]

[well duh that sounds much tamer than being murder accomplices doesn't it!!]

[speakveryclearly]

[Fair enough you are after all the best]

[souredsweet]

[why thank you kanaya, he will make sure to be the best best man ever]

[souredsweet]

[zeroing in on Sonia because she is nearby and also because hey, she has princess hair, surely she knows how to style without creating a mess!!!]

Sonia, will you help me with my dare?

[teenspirit]

Huh? Must I kiss you?

[ Looking... way too eager.... ]

[souredsweet]

[sONIA... a moment of silence, and then:]

No... The dare was to allow someone else to re-style my hair and wear it that way for the rest of the evening.

[teenspirit]

[ DAMN IT oh I mean. Okay. ]

Oh! Well, what kind of hairstyle?

[souredsweet]

[sonia is one goth boy just not enough]

Any kind, I don't care. It just needs to be different from this. [gestures! it's a little messy-looking by now because he sleeps on it, but his hair is currently done up into a crown braid courtesy of Poland.]

[teenspirit]

[ sorry you just have too much pretty boy appeal ]

...

Do you want it boy style or girl style?

[ This is a legit question. ]

[souredsweet]

[if only he had a scarf full of hamsters, then he could truly be competition.

that question gets a baffled look from him, though.]

...We do not have the sharp tools necessary for a boy style, do we? [he'd cut it all off in a heartbeat otherwise THAT'S A GOOD STYLE RIGHT]

[teenspirit]

Surely someone's got a knife here! Like one for cutting cake!

[souredsweet]

[he looks like he's actually considering that god why]

Could you cut hair with something like a cake knife? ["and have it turn out decent" is the unspoken second part of that question.]
