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.

Break

[productions]

Exciting! When we come back, we'll take a look at the exciting mystery of Poland's death, as well as reveal the number one top trial in the game! More guest stars are also on their way!

But first, let's take a break!

[Free time talk goes now, although you still will be unable to talk about there being a Mastermind besides Lithuania. It is fine to say Lithuania is not the Mastermind, just not that there's someone else.]

[throe]

[ There's someone missing and she's been replaced... with a doll.

Really though, Rapture's headed off to the projection room even though there is nothing projecting. Once she's there she looks down at the theatre before her, glancing over the few seats taken by fellow contestants. For a moment, she regards the scene below her with a smirk.

She lifts her arms and cackles, even if no one can hear her. ] The Stingers will always be on top! It is our destiny!

[notyetlost]

...What mystery?

[Unless it's covering what everyone else seems to already understand about it that Poland doesn't, he'd rather just skip it entirely.]

[vytis]

Are they going over everything that happened? [Lithuania's still not totally clear on what's going on here.]

[notyetlost]

It's supposed to be like, a reunion episode.

Or something. So they're recapping junk and then I guess sharing bonus footage or whatever.

[Poland doesn't want to watch his death if everyone's lauding it as super noble though.]

[vytis]

Bonus footage? [Sitting down in one of the theater chairs.]

[notyetlost]

Yeah we just saw some of your mastermind meetings.

[Apparently Poland made the wise choice of picking the locked smoking room passage to share seeing as how Lithuania already had access to it all game.]

[vytis]

Oh. [Burying his face in his hands.]

[notyetlost]

[Stop that-- Poland pulls Lithuania's hands away and holds onto them.]

It wasn't your fault.

[Poland will keep saying it till Lithuania believes it.]

[vytis]

I didn't have any other options, but I don't like acting like that. [It still feels like his fault.]

[notyetlost]

Um. Yeah obviously.

I saw your liquor cabinet, you know.

[vytis]

...At least I finished it off before I died. [Liquor cabinet got worse in your absence.]

[notyetlost]

It wasn't a race. [Unless not touching your cabinet too much means you win, because then it definitely was a race and Poland wins.]

When was the last time you even ate anything?

[Because Poland of all people should be chiding others about eating habits.]

[vytis]

Ah... [...Alcohol has calories, right?]

[notyetlost]

Thought so. [Poland reaches into his gift bag an pulls out some paluszki by the fistfuls.]

Open up.

[vytis]

[Lithuania does open his mouth to protest, at least.]

Pola--

[notyetlost]

[And in go five paluszki sticks. Simultaneously.]

Don't talk with your mouth full.

[vytis]

[Poland! Lithuania only chokes a little, to his credit. He has to chew and swallow before he can manage to properly respond.]

Don't do that!

[notyetlost]

[Okay then only one this time.]

Do what?

[vytis]

[Disgruntled chewing.] I can eat on my own!

[notyetlost]

Then maybe you should have done it yourself and I wouldn't have to.

Popcorn? [He's not even waiting for confirmation before shoving some extra salty popcorn in Lithuania's direction.]

[vytis]

[Wrinkling his nose at the popcorn a little.]

How much salt is in this?

[notyetlost]

Why are you thirsty?

[No liquor.]

Want some juice?

[vytis]

[Isn't this situation usually the other way around?]

I--suppose. [Though he would prefer alcohol.]

[notyetlost]

[Pulling fruit kompot out of the gift bag!]

Ta dah~!

[Lithuania is suddenly more irresponsible for his well-being than Poland.]

Maybe I can pull like a bowl of bigos out this thing too. [Rummaging around... rummaging around...]
