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.]

OTA
[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
What.
no subject
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!
no subject
[very. dead-eyed staring.]

But... you don't have a wand! You can't do magic without a wand!
[The 'so THERE' is highly implied.]

Oh - oh yeah? Then, uhhh, prove it!
Right after!
no subject
[Star, why are you talking to the karaoke machine.]
no subject
[Is this really the time though???]
no subject
[Don't look at her like that, she's not crazy.]

Unless... it's MORE than just a karaoke machine!

Jess? Didn't see any "Jess" on any of those stars.

[pause for suspense!]
I only got the one message, though! And I couldn't figure out how to SEND one, either.
no subject
right after
[but wait, what?] Uhh, I'm Wendy. So... no clue?
no subject
...Well, she talked to me. She sent me a message. I guess we didn't really 'talk'. But still!
no subject
Well... maybe it's like, a ghost or something.
