THE MOCK WEEK

[You find yourself waking in a large dressing room, incredibly spacious, but in intense disarray. The bed is comfortable enough, and each room seems to be equipped with a working bathroom and shower, so it's at least livable. But aesthetically, the place has hit the floor.

The horrifying clock
mounted on the wall reads 9 am. After enough searching, you'll find a large tourist-y map of the studio on one of the dressers. An ominous note attached to the map with a paperclip reads "12PM WAITING AREA". It's not like you have any choice in the matter, seeing as there doesn't seem to be any way out.

Upon exiting the dressing room, you note a crooked star attached to the door bearing your name. There are 24 others like this, bearing names that you may or may not recognize. A quick tour around the studio reveals it to be in a similar state of disrepair, but something doesn't sit...right with you. Though the place is certainly creepy, you get strange vibes as you explore the building. As you move about the dust-filled halls of the abandoned building, you may spot movement out of the corner of your eye, or hear strange noises from behind you. It's nothing to be worried about, though...right?

At the very least, you'll find some comfort. The projection room and attached theater still seem to be in working order, though you'll have to manually grab one of the reels off the wall and start the thing yourself. In addition, the waiting area and lounge are both filled with reading materials, and the later features a large stage and a microphone. The commissary seems to replenish itself with food whenever you take your eyes off of it, ensuring that we won't be going hungry anytime soon. There are also cabinets full of ingredients and a small kitchen should you not trust whatever your benefactor is placing out for you.

Fortunately for them, the smaller individuals amongst your party won't find a great deal of difficulty moving around. Though their beds remain oversized, there seem to be appropriately-sized staircases and escalators placed about in appropriate spots, so as to make their lives easier. After all, they can't just keep relying on the others to get up to the cabinets and such, can they?

While you're waiting to find out what the deal here is, you might as well come out and socialize.]

pinkflip: why do i do that? (why do we do that‚ why do we do that)

...Talkin' to yourself, Kimberly. Awesome.

[Her hands fiddle and fidget in front of her stomach, and she walks over to the film reel. Is it labeled?]
pinkflip: back to this (but it's always gonna come right)

[...Avoiding fourthwalling here she doesn't recognize it a bit but

instead of putting it back like a good girl, Kimberly's going to set it up in the projector. Might take her a good minute to figure out just how to do that, since she's never worked one before, but it can't be too difficult. What is on this oh-so-mysterious reel?]
pinkflip: (how did I become so obnoxious?)

[They've got only so much time before whatever's supposed to happen at 12, so Kim's not going to watch the whole thing, especially since she has no idea how long it is.

But she's a little disappointed, she kind of hoped there'd be something more telling. A villain's secret plans! Something like that. A fairy tale's alright, though. She does like fairy tales.]
pinkflip: (so cool in lying‚ and we try‚ try‚ try)

[Because we're all going to die, is that it. Is that it, creepy ghosties.

Okay, fine, as the romance starts to kick in Kimberly can't help but get a little sucked in, though as she watches she's going to look around at other labels to see what reels there are here! Be productive, all that.]
pinkflip: (i've never been this nasty)

[Okay she does laugh at seeing that title. What the heck. If she doesn't find a way out of here soon, she's a little tempted to watch it sometime later.

Trainwrecks are universally enjoyable, after all.]
