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.]

So you say, mademoiselle. So you say.

[ He suddenly draws back and sort of... examines his nails. He moves very quickly. ]

Am I to then believe that someone has kidnapped the two of us separately and stranded us in this... dingy mess of a... mess?
hitontheheadasachild: (see I'm competent!)

[personal profile] hitontheheadasachild 2017-05-07 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
...Probably?

[Its what she's beginning to think it personally.]

Anything's possible, right?

[personal profile] thedukeofficial 2017-05-07 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, sure, yeah, anything's possible!

[ That was not said in a very not sarcastic tone I'm so sorry. ]

Anything except kidnapping the most be-love-ed man in Motorcity and subjecting him to these... these horrendous accommodations, without anyone knowing anything about it! This awful decour, this... dust bunny breeding ground, it simply doesn't befit someone of my stature!

[ ... ]

Being kidnapped at all is pretty bad too, I guess.
hitontheheadasachild: (um...you did it)

[personal profile] hitontheheadasachild 2017-05-07 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
I don't like this place, either!

...

Motorcity?
thedukeofficial: (04)

[personal profile] thedukeofficial 2017-05-07 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Motorcity. You go to Kane's beautiful safe wonderland and dig a little, and you get to the real Detroit. Mo-tor-city. And oh, where are my manners!

[ He bows. ]

I am the Duke of Detroit, and its de factual sovereign.

[personal profile] hitontheheadasachild 2017-05-07 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh geez, what is the etiquette when you got two nobles and they're both kidnapped and have no idea where they are?? Why didn't her tutors teach her this stuff!??]

Well, I can't say I've heard of a country called Detroit? Or a city called Motorcity...I only really know a couple things about my own country and some of our neighbors? So you have me at a bit of a disadvantage.

[She does give him a curtsy.]

I'm Princess Anna of Arendelle. Sister of the...actual sovereign?

Princess?

[ He strokes his goatee. Does that outrank him? It's not a queen, and most dukes don't actually run places... but also he's a self-made duke, so what's he supposed to do here? ]

A pleasure to meet you, Princess Anna. Even if you haven't heard of my fair city.
hitontheheadasachild: (um...you did it)

[personal profile] hitontheheadasachild 2017-05-07 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha, yeah, I know, worst place to meet...

[Seriously, this place stinks. It kidnapped them so there.]

Actually, I'm pretty sure my sister's here, too.
thedukeofficial: (05)

[personal profile] thedukeofficial 2017-05-08 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Your sister, huh?

[ CLEARLY HE SHOULD MARRY HER- no actually he has surprisingly little in the way of political ambition. Actually he kinda pouts. ]

No one I know ended up here. Not even Cyborg Dan!
