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.

[CHEATER.]

... Truth.

[Because Poland did too many mean things to be comfortable with a dare.]

[hollowheart]

Just how terrified were you when you saw Kanaya's ghost in the parlor?

[notyetlost]

I thought it was gonna be a sexy question!

[No don't make him answer that-- NO!]

[hollowheart]

You'll have to answer that if you want to truth or dare me later. [best incentive or what]

1/2

[notyetlost]

[Maybe he can just lie!]

Er...!!

[... Apparently not.]

2/2

[notyetlost]

Ah... I was scared...

But. It wasn't necessarily because of Kanaya. Or it being spooky.

Really it was more because I'd made a promise to someone and um. When I saw the poker flying at my head I was like totally terrified that I like. Wouldn't get to keep it.

[In the end he didn't manage to keep it anyways.]

[hollowheart]

[that's... kind of heartbreaking and she softens a little bit.] I see...

[notyetlost]

J-just kidding! No I like wasn't--N-no way!

[This is so embarrassing why couldn't you just ask him about Lithuania's dick size or something.]

[hollowheart]

[Because that's the sort of thing Poland would think to ask.]

Right. Of course you weren't.

[notyetlost]

[It is like one of the first questions that comes to mind when you are meeting your future husband. He has been prepared for this question for centuries.]

Truth or dare!

[Changing the subject!]

[hollowheart]

Truth. [whatever happened to "no I'm not playing this game," why is she playing this game.]

[notyetlost]

What's your favorite thing about me?

[Chinhands.]

Be sure to like, elaborate in vivid detail.

[hollowheart]

[Oh no she has to be truthful.]

You're very loyal to your friends. Being in the mansion didn't break you... You're much stronger than you act. [shut up it's a lot for her to admit this.]




Your hair is rather nice, too.

[notyetlost]

[Poland listens intently, nodding along. Yes, these all sound entirely accurate.]

Dziękuję!

Yours would look nice too if you let it down every now and then.

[hollowheart]

[she holds the end of her hair, not looking entirely convinced.]

[notyetlost]

I did Kaoru's hair, I like totally know what I'm talking about.

[Tentative reaching...]

[hollowheart]

[allowing him because he's not reaching for her neck.] And he let you?

[notyetlost]

He like practically begged me to.

[It was the opposite way around-- but either way! Doesn't Kaoru look good?]

So yeah. [Taking it down and playing with it-- wow it is a lot like his own hair actually. Cute.]

[hollowheart]

[Let's face it, she's only letting him because she's half drunk right now.]

I thought I saw Kaoru ask Sonia to redo his hair. [because she dared him to oops.]

[notyetlost]

[Sonia.]

Kaoru will come crawling back eventually!

[hollowheart]

Right. And don't touch my neck. [since she's putting her hair at his mercy at all.]

[notyetlost]

Aren't you dating a vampire?

[He will shake it out with his fingers and style it masterfully.]

[hollowheart]

Don't. Touch. The. Neck. [God, Poland, it's complicated!]

[notyetlost]

I'm not!

Jeez.

[Stealing some of Kaoru's many hair clips for Annie's hair-- he won't mind.]

I'm just saying you should probably run that by Kanaya before she tries to drain you dry.

[hollowheart]

Drinking my blood would be extremely idiotic. [she's musing vaguely here, really.] Besides, my neck is my only weak point. If it goes, I go.
