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.

[ Is she questioning why she is here? Of course not, because she's here to perform and that has to be the sole reason. So, of course, the song of choice is the Stingers theme song. She immediately snaps out of her daze when she hears the opening guitar riff, very familiar with its sound. ]

Sting, Sting, Stingers! We’ll sting you with our sound! [ It is also accompanied with the token dance that comes along with it. Rapture seems to be handling both singing what is usually Riot's vocals along with the dance quite well. It is an art. ]

We’re the happenin’ band, we’re takin’ wind, we’re the latest buzz. The greatest band that ever was!

[ She gets severely into it, more so than any of her other performances. There are a couple of twirls here, a few leaps there, but not without her pointer fingers in the air. ]

We’re off to a hot staaaaart. We’re gonna rock this place apart! [ Her voice becomes lower and huskier: ] We’re gonna break through... Our little Minx will startle you! Our music is Rapturous...

[ Rapture throws her head back, arms high in the air. ] There’ll be a Riot over uuuuus!

Sting, Sting, Stingers! Stingers! [ She finalizes the last call by placing her hands on her hips and standing with her feet apart. ] Stingers!

[miraculous]

[Clapping. Rapture is still entertaining.]

[motheringnation]

[Clapping.]

[balzams]

[Sure, why not. Latvia has actually kind of missed Rapture's live performances. As out of place as they seemed they certainly lightened the atmosphere and she'll get some genuine applause for it this time around]

[productions]

[Clapping.]

Wonderful, wonderful!

Rapture, it's such a pleasure to have you here with us. Now, you were always known for your vibrant performances. As a performer, what's your opinion? Which murderer gave the best performance of them all?

[throe]

[ She bows and bows, throws her arms in the air, and smiles proudly. ]

Thank you, thank you! The Stingers are always proud to perform for common masses!

[ Then she crosses her arms and turns to the Hostess — startling for a moment before she stares at her for a good few seconds. She doesn't look confused, just as if she's forgotten something... oh, yes! The question! ]

It's hard to say, really. None of them have been true Stingers standard quality... [ She smile at the crowd. ] But I suppose if I had to pick one... the Halloween trial had some of the most entertaining moments I would say. It was the first trial to actually catch me off guard, which doesn't typically happen.

[productions]

Yes, what a tremendous week that was!

Now, do you have any tips for those interested in achieving fame like yours?

[throe]

Yes.

[ She smirks and raises her voice so that it booms across the theatre despite only a few seats being filled and they are mostly the ones in the front. That does not stop her from being her usual, performer self though. ]

Don't ever apologize for who you are, because that's the only way you'll make it through this life. The weak do not survive!

[productions]

Lovely words of advice. Thank you so much for joining us!

[speakveryclearly]

[This icon's keyword has never been, and never again will be, more appropriate. Kanaya is clapping with all the force of her freaky vampire strength and speed. It's mildly terrifying.]

Brava!!! Brava, Rapture!!!

[notyetlost]

[Poland will clap! Listening to the lyrics tho...]







Rapture did you base your entire band motif off of bees or something?

[throe]

[ She steps away from the Hostess after the interview (though not without another stare and a 'hmm' before shrugging) and is about to look in her gift bag when she looks up at Poland. She smirks. ]

Why else would my entire wardrobe be black and yellow?

[notyetlost]

Pfft!

Oh my god that's so cute. You're a bumblebee!

[throe]

You mean something that looks harmless, but can send you to the hospital with a single, fatal sting if you're not careful?

[notyetlost]

[Rapture your villainous cred is forever ruined for Poland now.]

Yeah, sure. Whatever you say.

Bumblebee~

[throe]

[ She's eerily glad to see him, though she can't really say why... So she walks over to him, looking down at him with a mischievous smirk on her face for a good long time... and reaches out to pinch the skin on the back of his hand with two of her sharp nails. ]

The next one will be instilled with a curse if you're not careful.

[notyetlost]

Ow! Rapture!

That hurts! Stop it!

[throe]

What was that about being a bumblebee? [ She stops pinching him, but keeps the nail of her pointer finger just barely poking his skin. ]

[notyetlost]

Like. A totally aggressive killer bumblebee! With bee rabies! Or. Something.

[throe]

It's like the song says... [ She removes her finger and points it at him. ] We'll sting you with our sound!

[notyetlost]

The key word in that is with sound.

[Poland rubs his hand.]
