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.

[That's okay, Lithuania will laugh even harder in your honor, Latvia.]

1/2

[notyetlost]

Knew it!

[Poland points his bouquet at Lithuania accusingly.]

And you don't get to laugh because you literally licked chocolate syrup off my great personality like twenty minutes ago.

[speakveryclearly]

Just what part of the outwardly-appearing human anatomy is the "great personality"?

[Does she want to know how to locate it on someone else, MAYBE]

[notyetlost]

[Poland adjusts his tiara and starts lifting his shirt up to point indiscriminately at his chest.]

Heeeeeere. And heeere. And he did this really nice thingy here and here! But right there tickled a lot and he was all shushing me and junk.

And then heeeere...

[speakveryclearly]

Oh...

[And in that moment Kanaya was Troy Barnes, a comparison I never expected to make]

...................did this happen in the projection room??

[notyetlost]

Wow no there's like, no privacy up there. [According to Lithuania anyways.]

We went under the concession stand.

[speakveryclearly]

[Kanaya's hand flies over her heart. The notebook falls out of her lap and makes a bit of a noise. She is processing this as a deep personal betrayal.]

[notyetlost]

I'll get it!

[Poland is just obliviously picking up her notebook.]

[speakveryclearly]

[She accepts it from him like her hands are knives.]

Why? Is this some bizarre reverse-psychological ploy?

[notyetlost]

[Um.] ...picking up your notebook?

[speakveryclearly]

Employing an idea you mocked back when it was mine!

[notyetlost]

I totally mocked a lot of stuff you said, you have to be more specific.

[speakveryclearly]

The concession stand was our [not herself and Poland's] thing! The projection room was your [plural] thing! I thought we had an implicit agreement!

2/2

[notyetlost]

Oh also you like. Totally fell in love with me. [Take that.]

[balzams]

[Licked chocolate sauce of his what?]

Lithuania just how much have you been drinking?

[Actually a little concerned right now. It was great that he was taking the time to relax but how would he feel about it afterwards?]

[vytis]

[Not enough to not turn bright red at Poland's words.]

Lenkija! And--um--I don't know, I lost count.

[notyetlost]

Not once.

But twice.

Second time without any memories even. [And man did you fall hard.]

[balzams]

Maybe you should take a rest...

If you try talking about your favourite memories or Poland now you'll probably say something you'll regret.

[He almost felt compelled to say the last line, no doubt the censors trying to get them back on topic]

[vytis]

[Yeah Lithuania almost says something uncharitable about that whole "without any memories" part.]

I'm not sure if I'm too drunk or not drunk enough for this conversation.

[notyetlost]

[Lithuania you're a lot crueler with your memories than you were as the mastermind.]

...

Fine, don't admit it. I don't care. Susan and I have a date anyways and you're not invited.

[vytis]

Don't say it like that after the way you were going on about it!

[notyetlost]

You laughed at me!

[Not with. At.]

[vytis]

As if you've never laughed at me.

[What we need is a montage of all the times Poland has said Lithuania's face was funny right now.]

[notyetlost]

That's way different, I'm laughing at you because you're always making your face look like completely ridiculous, not because I think your personality isn't like congealing or whatever!

[vytis]

Congenial.
