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.

[vytis]

I know what I'm doing! I was the last pagan nation in Europe 'til I got married. [Regarding Poland critically.] And don't be silly, if you were a beverage you wouldn't have ice, it'd dilute the vodka.

[notyetlost]

[Poland is just going to. Try and crawl under a theater chair. To get away from you idiots without a summoning circle drawn on him.]

[souredsweet]

[no escape poland NO ESCAPE]

Oh! Well, if you're an expert at summoning circles... [DISAPPEARS

only to come back with a bottle of chocolate syrup used for Spain's drink.]

[vytis]

[Grabbing Poland's foot and yanking him back out. Though now you may be upside-down, Poland, I'm sorry.]

Thank you, Mister Nagumo. [He is going to start drawing one-handed on Poland in chocolate syrup now.]

1/2

[notyetlost]

[No this is the opposite direction he wants to go in]Waugh!

Lithuania!

I mean it!

Don't--!!

2/2

[notyetlost]

[No it tickles!]

Pffthaha-- stop it!

[souredsweet]

Of course, you are more than welcome.

[IT SEEMS LIKE HIS JOB HERE IS DONE. he will retreat from the blast zone just in case Poland decides to somehow retaliate, perching on the back of a nearby seat where he will laugh and super helpfully call out:] I believe he's said that it isn't quite enough to summon anything!

[vytis]

[Byyye Kaoru, Lithuania will just continue drawing. His circle isn't that bad given his inebriation, though his attempts at writing words are hopeless messes. But eventually:]

Done!

[And he abruptly lets go of Poland's leg.]

[notyetlost]

Oomph!

Ow!

[You're a bad boyfriend Lithuania!]

[vytis]

[Sitting Poland upright.]

Now you're--safe, I think? [He lost track of what he was drawing the circle for.]

1/2

[notyetlost]

[There is satanic chocolate syrup all over his chest.]

2/2

[notyetlost]

You're not.

[PULLING YOU INTO A HUG.]

[vytis]

[Nooo!] Now it's all smudged and I need a new shirt.

[notyetlost]

[Continuing to hug.]

Wow um. I couldn't just let you be susceptible to the unparalleled combined dark forces of the Four Hammies of the Apocalypse.

Guess you'll just have to take it off.

[vytis]

Oh, I suppo-- [Wait.]

Too many people here.

[notyetlost]

[He actually got you to consider that for a moment--]

You're totally drunk.

[Poland's just going to further latch himself on, hooking his legs together behind Lithuania's back. ]

[vytis]

[Wobbling a little while he adjusts his balance to include Poland hanging off him.]

Not totally. A little, just a little! I could have more.

[Grabbing one of the Smoking Room shots and downing it to prove it.]

[notyetlost]

[Was it the spicy one? Please be the spicy one.]

You're drunk.

[It's not wallowing in my guilt and my hideous grief drunk either, so that makes it the totally acceptable kind of drunkness. In Poland's esteemed and highly valued opinion anyway.]

Dork.

[vytis]

[Sure why not, Lithuania wasn't actually paying that much attention to which one he grabbed.]

I could be drunker. [Pause.] More drunk?

[One of those.]

[notyetlost]

Obviously. [Poland just wants to see what someone drinking a spicy tomato shot looks like-- because it sounds gross.

He'll take the minty one.]

I don't think we've ever hit the drunk barrier before. [He says it like achieving this could be like being able to move faster than the speed of light.]

[vytis]

There's a barrier? [#easterneurope]

[...But Lithuania is frowning down at his shirt again.] It's completely illegible this way.

[What. He spent like three minutes on that circle. Though to be fair it was illegible even before it got imprinted on his shirt.]

[notyetlost]

[And Poland's all sticky, the world is cruel Lithuania.]

It's not my fault you have terrible penmanship with a chocolate syrup bottle.

[vytis]

Do not! Here, let me try again. [Grabbing Poland and the chocolate syrup.]

[notyetlost]

[Wait what--] No!

No no! No no no no no!

[This still won't even be legible!]

Lick off the first one! [Wipe. Lick. Same diff.]

[vytis]

[Pause.

Longer pause.]

Alright.

[Dragging Poland off!]
