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.]

And you work for a fairy? As other people's reminder not to mess up? Wow... Can't say I've heard of anything like that before.

[He tries to open up with a defense.

But nah.

To be totally honest, it took some getting used to myself. Never believed in stuff like wishing on stars and magical spirits until recently.

[Said the talking cricket.]

[...She'll refrain from that commentary.]

Oh, definitely, first time I saw anything mystical or magical I thought I'd gone nutso.

Its certainly takes a bit to rejigger your head around. What with all the good and the bad that's done with it.

[On one hand, hot fairies and helpful mentors. On the other hand, horrible donkey transformations and Rita Repulsa in general]

Especially all the bad.

[Have you ever been hit by a love spell before? Or a jealousy spell? ...Or a punk spell? Or a nightmare spell...

None of the spells are good.]
whistlenotchirp: (Just give a whistle)

[Punk spells sounds kind of metal tho.

His moralizing side is kind of impressed with that last comment.

You seem like a got a good head on yer shoulders, miss. If this is more magical hooplah, that's a good trait to keep a hold of.
pinkflip: a contest? (can't you tell that this is just)

[Nooo the punk spell was horrible, it made her dress weird and put gross stuff in her hair and flirt with Skull!]

I, uh, thank you! [A little flattered smile.] I just do what I can, what any good person should do.

[She's acutely aware that she's accepting a compliment from a cricket.]
