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.]

[Jiminy quickly has to scoot out of the way when the latest figure nearly tramples him into her search through the rooms.]

Whoa nelly! Play a little safe there, would ya?
hitontheheadasachild: (well the answer is gassy)

[...That voice sounded tiny.

...

She looks down.

She squeaks at the sight.]
whistlenotchirp: (You should be whistling)

[Vaguely offended. He's not that gross! But he's a polite cricket and won't make too much of a fuss.]

Now ain't that a how-de-do! I can't be that much of a sight for sore eyes.

[...too much of a fuss.]

You talk!




...why am I so surprised you talk?!
whistlenotchirp: (Nobody listens to the conscience)

[personal profile] whistlenotchirp 2017-05-07 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well I never!]

Now come now. I'm an educated cricket and I certainly know how to make conversation. [He didn't exactly... go to school... But that doesn't mean he was a maroon!]
hitontheheadasachild: (huh?)

[personal profile] hitontheheadasachild 2017-05-08 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh no, she insulted the cricket without meaning to-!]

Ah, shoot, I...didn't mean it like that! Seriously. Talking animals just aren't a...you know. A thing were I'm from.

...At least not last I knew. I could be wrong?
whistlenotchirp: (Come again)

[personal profile] whistlenotchirp 2017-05-08 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe we're just waiting until we have something worth saying. You ever think of that?!

[...Now hold on. Does that include foxes? Foxes are pretty public in their talking]

Surely you've met some kind of furry fella.
hitontheheadasachild: (um...you did it)

[personal profile] hitontheheadasachild 2017-05-08 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
...Do trolls count? They're not really furry, though, more mossy...
whistlenotchirp: (Where does that fall morally?)

[personal profile] whistlenotchirp 2017-05-08 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
I can't say I've ever met a troll before... but, well, who am I to judge?
