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.

It's hard to swallow at first but.

You get used to it. [How many as he had now-- it's hard to keep track.]

[souredsweet]

[he looks skeptical...!]

After all of the sweets you ate, your opinion here doesn't count for very much. [seriously he can barely eat a piece of cake without being overwhelmed by sugar, how is he supposed to trust the guy who ate like 10 candy boxes]

[vytis]

I think it's at least 90% sugar. [Don't trust Poland, you'll regret it.]

[souredsweet]

[Poland how could you try to lead him astray!!]

Truly... It sounds like the sort of drink Sonia herself would enjoy, at least.

[notyetlost]

I was like. Emotionally compromised.

[Who supplied him with all that candy Kaoru!]

[souredsweet]

[WHAT A MYSTERY who indeed... some charming and kind stranger, surely.]

And being emotionally compromised gives you the ability to stomach more sugar than you normally could? [that sounds like a horrible super power!]

[notyetlost]

[K-kaoru stop oh my god this is embarrassing--]

I just--!! I have to snack on stuff when I'm super upset!

[EMBARRASSING.]

[souredsweet]

[what's that Poland? make things even more embarrassing??]

Could that even be considered "snacking" anymore? Really... You do remember that you checked an empty box for sweets, right?

[notyetlost]

[Kaoru why?]

Yes, it counts!

A-and that totally never happened!

[souredsweet]

[STARING... staring.... and then, with a perfectly straight face:]

My, I see. You were so distraught that you do not even remember how desperate you became in your despondency... How tragic, Poland.

[notyetlost]

I'm allowed to get upset!

[souredsweet]

[with SUCH MOCK-CONCERN] So upset that you checked an empty box for comfort...

[notyetlost]

[Is this what it's like to be on the other side of Poland's incessant relentless teasing?]

...!!

[Poland's just gonna bury his face in the closest thing to him. Which is actually Kaoru.]

[souredsweet]

[Kaoru pats his back soothingly. there there lattle poland...]

Are you going to cry again? Should I fetch more candies?

[notyetlost]

You're like killing me! [with embarrassment!]

I'm like totally going to die!

[S-stop! Stop stop!]

[souredsweet]

Oh, dear... Wouldn't that just be the jewel on the crown of embarrassment? Here lies Poland, who died with a bright red face.

[he is so concerned Poland, don't you see the obvious concern??]

[vytis]

Don't worry, I'll save him.

[Throwing a bunch of chocolate letters into the air above Poland's head. It's raining chocolate around Poland isn't this lovely weather Lithuania should probably stop drinking but nope.]

[notyetlost]

Liet! [You're making a mess!]

Are you five?

[souredsweet]

[no lithuania keep drinking forever]

Shouldn't you be thanking him? You've been saved now!

[vytis]

He's always ungrateful. [Sprinkling the chocolate garnish from one of the Smoking Room shot ingredients over Poland next.] It's like drinking when you have a hangover, right?

[notyetlost]

N-not the hair!

[This is what he spent all of last week defending you for. So you could garnish him.]

[souredsweet]

Lacking gratitude isn't becoming, Poland. [he's trying hard not to laugh TRYING SO HARD... and then, with even more mock-worry:]

Be careful! He was so red for a while that I wouldn't be surprised if anything that touched his head or face melted right away.

[vytis]

Oh, I can fix that, too. [Here have some ice cubes Poland.] Maybe we should draw a magic circle next?

[notyetlost]

I'm not a beverage!

[souredsweet]

We might summon something unfortunate if we do that. [here Poland Kaoru will helpfully try to tuck a straw behind your ear.]
