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.]

...You wouldn't?

[That doesn't make sense, mother said people were selfish and cruel and would hurt anyone to get what they wanted. But this girl is. Rejecting that?? A lot of these people seem pretty outraged, actually.

Maybe it's a trick???

But Elsa looks so sincere that Rapunzel hesitates.]

Of course not!

[Elsa doesn't blame her for being wary; they've only just met, after all. But still, she's horrified at the idea of hurting someone.]

Almost all of my life was spent making sure I would never hurt someone, even on accident. If I did that now... [Her gaze drops to the floor, her hands almost unconsciously twisting together in a clear show of nerves.] If I tried to hurt someone here... if I tried to go along with what this man wants us to do and kill someone for my own selfish gain... it would make me worse than the monster I was afraid I'd turn into.

You...

[WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE. What would mother say if she heard this? Could it be, is it possible, that mother was wrong?]

You don't have to hurt anyone, you know. Who wants to listen to that guy! If anyone is a monster here, it's him.
defyingfrigidity: (I hope you're happy)

[It's weird when you come face to face with the fact that your parents kind of twisted your view of the outside world, huh????]

I know but... he seems to want us to do it. Even if none of us do, that's... incredibly unsettling.

[It's hard to imagine someone that sadistic, but... here he is, right in front of them.]

I'm worried that he might do something drastic if none of us take this bait.
