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.]

Right after the motive

[With everyone still gathered in the same room, Star jumps into the same spot Spooky McDoom was standing in and clears her throat in the most loud and obnoxious way possible.]

Blah blah blah, look at me, I'm an ugly old guy with a big stick up my butt!

...But seriously, which one of you guys is Jess?

And later still

[Star spends the rest of the day unsuccessfully trying to open the door Doom had exited through. First she tries the doorknob, then she knocks politely, but after a while she's resigned to pounding on it with both fists.]

Come onnnnn, I know you're back there! Oooh, if I had my wand you'd be in so much trouble, mister!

and later still

[personal profile] ilovepuppies 2017-05-09 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[SHE DID

not expect that to actually work.]


Uhhhhhhhhh....

[Okay. Okay. She's got this. She doesn't need her wand to get out of this!]

Look, pal, I know you're lying about this whole time travel shebang! I dunno what your game is, but I'm done playin' it! So can just stop, any time now!
notjustanytoon: (pic#8950549)

[personal profile] notjustanytoon 2017-05-09 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I would never lie about such a thing.

[very. dead-eyed staring.]

[personal profile] ilovepuppies 2017-05-09 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Star's nerve wavers a little because this guy is just so darn creepy.]

But... you don't have a wand! You can't do magic without a wand!

[The 'so THERE' is highly implied.]

[He knows about timed hits alternate dimensions!?

This guy is tricky.]


Oh - oh yeah? Then, uhhh, prove it!

[GROAN] There's GOTTA be a Jess around here! She spoke to me through the karaoke machine!

[Star, why are you talking to the karaoke machine.]
hitontheheadasachild: (eyerolling so hard)

[personal profile] hitontheheadasachild 2017-05-09 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
What?

[Is this really the time though???]
ilovepuppies: (Cupcake Blast)

[personal profile] ilovepuppies 2017-05-09 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
The karaoke machine! I was trying to get it to play a song when somebody named Jess sent me a message! Which means they know what's going on here, which ALSO means they can't be far!

[Don't look at her like that, she's not crazy.]
hitontheheadasachild: (huh?)

[personal profile] hitontheheadasachild 2017-05-09 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Can a machine actually do that?
ilovepuppies: (Narwhal Blast)

[personal profile] ilovepuppies 2017-05-10 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Apparently!

Unless... it's MORE than just a karaoke machine!
pinkflip: (i always say how i don't need you)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-09 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[You know, Kimberly appreciates this girl's anger. What a good kid.]

Jess? Didn't see any "Jess" on any of those stars.
ilovepuppies: (Turbo Nuclear Butterfly Blast)

[personal profile] ilovepuppies 2017-05-10 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
So it's none of you guys? Then who in the hey are they!?
pinkflip: get the best of (we are the people that you'll never)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-10 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Where'd you hear the name? Why're you looking for 'em?
ilovepuppies: (Turbo Nuclear Butterfly Blast)

[personal profile] ilovepuppies 2017-05-10 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
They sent me a message through the karaoke machine! They told me 'good luck' and that I was gonna need it... so they HAVE to know what's going on here!
pinkflip: ('cause they're everywhere)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-10 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Like, a transmission? How can you make a karaoke machine a communicator?
ilovepuppies: (Turbo Nuclear Butterfly Blast)

[personal profile] ilovepuppies 2017-05-11 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Unless it was a communicator all along!

[pause for suspense!]

I only got the one message, though! And I couldn't figure out how to SEND one, either.
pinkflip: get the best of (we are the people that you'll never)

[personal profile] pinkflip 2017-05-11 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Communicator disguised as a karaoke machine? [...] Makes sense. Ohh, maybe it was...something was recorded on it? That can happen, can't it?
kindaruledatit: (Oh wait what)

right after

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2017-05-10 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
I know, right? It's just a mess what that jerk is trying to push on us.

[but wait, what?] Uhh, I'm Wendy. So... no clue?
ilovepuppies: (Super Rainbow Dolphin Slap)

[personal profile] ilovepuppies 2017-05-10 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Grrrrr!] There's gotta be a Jess around here somewhere! I TALKED to her!

...Well, she talked to me. She sent me a message. I guess we didn't really 'talk'. But still!
kindaruledatit: (that's really neato)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2017-05-10 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
What, like a text or something? [Wait, no. She has to remember that the cell reception in this place is the pits.]

Well... maybe it's like, a ghost or something.
