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 has begun! The next week will take 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.

All the dead characters and eventually all living characters will participate in this week, through Belarus and Yuzu will just be empty shells who cannot interact with the others. Dead characters (except Lithuania, who never arrived) will all be in the theater from the beginning, whereas living characters will only be brought in once specifically introduced, and will be given their memories at that time.

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.

Angry at Annie... [She looks at her and tries not to look incredibly gay about it and utterly fails, then looks back to the hostess.] I was used. I was furious about that at first. But then I realized she could have gotten the needle without my help anyway. And she needed some kind of weapon if she was going to commit that week's murder. And she didn't get the opportunity to target outright deadweight, giving her no other tools. So... it wasn't personal, it hardly had anything to do with me in that regard.

I'm actually sorry to Minatsuki. Not just for bungling her trial, we've been over that. [Addressing that girl now] I never actually found the time to apologize to you for disrespecting your cadaver like that without investigation as a sufficient excuse.

Whatever. [ She waves a hand like it's nothing. ] My card didn't mention enough to make it clear to any of you that what I have is a disease, not some special fuckin' fun-time power.

Ah! Yes, the bookmarked page on hemophilia...

...actually, would you mind if I asked why you suddenly took off your earring? The functioning of that condition is pretty beyond me.

How else am I supposed to start bleeding?

[ She is, in fact, bleeding from the ear right now; her earring is in her hand, and a trickle of blood is running down her neck. ] It has to get onto my hair. I can't think it into existence. And it runs out when I run out.

Everything suddenly makes sense!

[Even though she is very distracted by that trickle of blood!]

Fuckin' yay for you.

Is that what it was? The, ah... "hemophilia", or something like that?

[he actually sounds pretty intrigued! he has a lot of blood-based interests... ochimizu and all.....]

Um.

[ For the first time, Minatsuki looks somewhat... ashamed? Embarrassed? ]

I am- was- in prison for a long time. I was never allowed to learn much about what was wrong with me... And all I found out here is that it definitely doesn't exist in whatever the fuck kind of world this is.

Something specific to yours? What an illness... With that sort of excessive bleeding, it is a surprise that you managed through so many years without dropping dead.

[he doesn't have any difficulties understanding any of this, at least. either way, there's not a lick of judgment present despite his bluntness.]

[ She crosses her arms. ]

I learned to control it. I learned to control it really well. But that fuckin' cunt poisoned me. I didn't even know what I was doing. I couldn't see anything. I was just tryin' to get her.

[a thoughtful hum, and then:]

Being poisoned must be difficult. [which sounds like it could be mocking (and probably would be if he was talking to someone he felt even an inkling of animosity toward), but it's perfectly genuine.]

I did not think you deserved to die in such a graceless manner, anyway. At least you landed your hit now.
