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.]

Heh. [Silly little thing. Kind of like a grosser roomba.]

Alright, little guy. Hang on sec.

[She crouches, and if he doesn't suddenly chose to eat her face, she'll try and get to work on tugging the fabric out from under his treads.]

Wow, it's... really stuck.
trashcubes: (the spark between us)

[Don't worry, WALL-E is not programmed to eat your face Wendy.

He does however shrink his head (eyes?) back from her slightly, clearly not used to being that close to other people, watching her a little warily in case she does something he should be concerned about here.]

[Excellent. Just checking.]

Hey, it's cool. Just... try to hold still?

[It's really stuck fast. Hmm. Maybe if she puts one hand on WALL-E, and pulls with the other, it shou-Yup, okay the sheets coming out, and Wendy's falling back. there she goes.]
trashcubes: (got places to go and things to do)

[personal profile] trashcubes 2017-05-08 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh!

[There she goes. WALL-E checks his wheels and sees that it is indeed removed, before he rolls closer and gives her a look of concern. Are you okay?]
kindaruledatit: (gonna stare at a wal)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2017-05-10 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's done her good deed for the day, can she go home now? No? Okay.

Wendy sits up, still holding onto the sheet in her hand.
]

Oof. See? Totally had that under control. [Wendy, you never said tha-] How you feeling, little guy?
trashcubes: (cutest garbage man ever)

[personal profile] trashcubes 2017-05-11 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Much better: he even spins around in a small circle here now to prove that he is able to move around more easily now that the sheet's not caught in his wheels, thanks to you!]
kindaruledatit: (gonna miss ya)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2017-05-11 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
Nice! [Thumbs up! Wendy moves into a sitting potion, watching WALL-E enjoy his new mobility.]

Glad I could help out with.... that. Looks like you're doing good now.

[Yuup and she's fine here on the floor.]

I'm Wendy? And, you are...?
trashcubes: (foreign contaminant?)

[personal profile] trashcubes 2017-05-11 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Wa... WAAALLLYYY...

[Or "WALL-E", if the logo on his chest is to be believed.]
trashcubes: (put on your sunday clothes)

[personal profile] trashcubes 2017-05-11 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
WAALLLAAABEEEE?

[WALL-E tilts his head a little as he says it. That doesn't sound right. What's a "wallaby"?]
kindaruledatit: (Okay....?)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2017-05-12 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
'Wall-eye'?

[Wendy is clearly getting something wrong. she shrugs uncertainly.]

Sorry, I... Wait. [Previously, she'd been hanging back because of the smell, but now that she's looking closer, and spots that name on his chestplate...]

Is it 'WALL-E'?
trashcubes: (foreign contaminant?)

[personal profile] trashcubes 2017-05-12 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes, yes you got it! Wall-E nods eagerly at that, speaking again.]

WAALLLYYY!
