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.

Doesn't look like it.

Maybe he'll show up when the show starts up again.
no subject
He'd better. I told Latvia he could make Warsaw, Riga if he doesn't.
[Poland can kind of sense that Ukraine seems... upset. So he'll bounce over and wrap an arm around her to give her a squeeze.]
no subject
[And that gets a small smile and she hugs him back.]
I ...just want to go home.

[It is only occurring to Poland now how upsetting it must have been for Ukraine to sit here for about two months powerlessly watching everything play out in the game, while your murderer gets off. He was preoccupied with his own problems and didn't actually give much thought to anyone else at the time-- typical of Poland.
Now you have his full attention Ukraine.]
You should throw a sleepover, I'll bring over the snacks.
no subject
[She glances around and then switches to speaking in Polish.]
I'm so tired of being surrounded by murderers. Most of the people who were killed stay quiet so I've only had the killers to talk to and most of them are sociopaths. Once Lithuania gets here, the four of us should stick together.
1/2
One murderer can still hear us.
[Never gonna get over that damn note.]
2/2
Somehow I don't think they're going to be thrilled to see him, even after he was cleared of being the--
[Poland stops mid-sentence and then after a moment, blinks away a vapid expression. As if he forgot what he was talking about.]
Er ... You know what I mean.

They're all being hypocrites.
If they were manipulated so was he.
