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.]

wannagetsmote: (how dare you)

there's no helping him tbh

[Being disinterested in murder is a very good thing, thank you very much, Finn. And a secondary thank you for appreciating the sheer work of art that Maui is. Were he gifted with mind-reading in addition to his other awe-inspiring powers, he would thank you.]

[Instead, Maui places his thumb and forefinger on the edge of a film strip, then looks up at him.]


You mean this stuff?
misplacesfriends: (☒ When they see my face)

there's always the mutual sort of help where they ruin stuff anyway

[He's seen murder happen and he wasn't fond of it. Well. He's seen death in front of him to be more accurate. And it's more like...he doesn't want to pick a fight. Because he doesn't feel like he'd win. Definitely wouldn't win.]

Yeah, you uh...don't usually touch something that fragile looking.
wannagetsmote: (default)

you mean the BEST KIND.

[I mean, he doesn't have his hook, so maybe --]

[Nah just kidding. He'd totally kick Finn's ass.]


Kid, most things look fragile to me.
misplacesfriends: (☐ So when the waiting's done)

/o/

[Especially if he doesn't use his lightsaber, which, he won't.]

Okay, more fragile than normal then. What is it, anyway?
wannagetsmote: (snarky grin)

[No hooks, no lightsabers, no fists.]

You think I know? [He raps his knuckles on the metal part of the reel.] Pretty sure it goes this thing -- [A quick gesture to the projector] -- but that's all I've got.
misplacesfriends: (☐ You've finally woken up)

[He shrugs, putting his hands in his pockets.] This stuff is all older than anything I've ever dealt with.

[He walks up to the machine though, he's more familiar with the machines. These are still old.] Makes sense. Looks like they'll go on here, the reels.
