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.]

[That is... absolutely a mouse. A talking mouse. Which automatically makes her much smarter than the last animal he was around.]

You think brains make 'em taste better? [Whether or not the 'slap' delivered by the tattoo on Maui's pec was scolding him for ignoring the question or for threatening to eat Bianca was up in the air. At least someone has manners, though?]
rollerscoater: Calling for help. (starts to seem reasonable)

[NOPE just gonna duck under the hall table. and carefully look out.]

Sir, there is perfectly good real food in the dining hall!

Real food? Are you saying you're fake?

[Maui dropped down to his knees, peering at the mouse with dark, furrowed brows.]

'Cause you kinda look real, lady. Mouse. Lady-mouse.
rollerscoater: Pitying look. (nope)

I'm simply saying that, since we've all been kidnapped here, it would be a better idea to find a way out together than to try to harm one another.

[Lady-mouse is a professional diplomat when she isn't solving the disappearances of children who can talk to animals, try her.]

[The mouse speaks logic. But logic is hard to make out when you're hungry...]

You really think we were kidnapped? Kinda a weird bunch. A demigod, a mouse and... whatever that Duke guy is supposed to be.
rollerscoater: Pleading with concern. (when the chairman is sexist)

Even if he is a rude fellow, there must be a reason for all this.

Maybe he just really needs friends?
