week 1

[stagemanagers]

[Well, all escape attempts have failed thus far. None of you have seen the Phantom since his brief appearance on Sunday, or heard from him at all. It looks like, for the time being, you’re all going to be stuck here.

You're free to continue exploring your surroundings to your hearts' content. The only real restriction on your movements is that the kitchen is closed between the hours of 10 pm and 7 am. Better make sure to grab any midnight snacks you may want ahead of time. Also, remember to label any investigation toplevels!

The Merchandise Booth is now open for business as well! The Phantom hasn't deigned to explain how it works, but...well, some of you will start to find mysterious coins in your rooms, and the Booth's got a place to put coins. You'll figure it out.

Should you wish to engage more with your host, you're welcome to drop letters in the box office slot. There's no set way to converse verbally with him, and he's certainly not guaranteed to respond if you just yell at the walls - but that doesn't necessarily mean he isn't listening. Just something to keep in mind.

Enjoy your first week, everyone.]

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday

(( OOC: This will be the last mod post for this week! Feel free to start submitting regains for any threads that aren't with the Phantom. Remember, song threads mean an extra coin! This is a peace week, so get all that CR while you can! ))

interrogation

[herwiggles]

[Just a Gem minding her own business? Whatever has she done to deserve this?]

Oooh, what's this? Huh? Huh? A new game? Can I be part of it?

[A laugh! And a pause.]

Also, what's a 'casting call'?

[madgiganticfeelings]

[Christine narrows her eyebrows. She is. Not. Going to break character.]

We're all part of this casting call, babe. 'Cept nobody was holdin' auditions, see? So we're lookin' for who's behind this theatrical kidnappin'.

[Good job, Christine, you explained nothing! Maybe Steven can help.]

[herwiggles]

Ohhhhhhh!

[Spinel sounds like she gets it...]

...Yeah I dunno.

[madgiganticfeelings]

You dunno what? Who's behind all this? Or do you not know that you've got somethin' to hide?

[Dun dun dun!]

[herwiggles]

[She has to sit on those questions for a moment.]

...How would I have something to hide that I don't know?

[madgiganticfeelings]

...you make a good point there, to toots.

[Fine! Time for a new avenue of questioning!]

All right then! Do you remember anything about being taken here?

[herwiggles]

Toots are one of my specialities.

[To demonstrate! She just casually morphs her hand into a horn shape and- Toot.]

Nah. I don't even remember why we're stuck here in the first place!

[holyspit]

[AH this is probably fine, he just needs to maintain his role as the loose cannon bad cop who's a second from snapping at any second! But is secretly soft for his family within the confines of their own home and would do anything for his partner and best friend.]

We're not playin' games here Miss Spinel, IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME. My partner's asking questions and you'd better answer.

[dot dot dot]

[He looks over the tops of his mirror shades for a second, whispering-]

I'm being the bad cop, I promise I'm not actually mad at you, just play along okay?

[herwiggles]

[. . .

The dots slowly connect before Spinel's eyes light up.]

Oohhhhh...

[And all of a sudden... her persona shifts. Grittier, more brooklyn-ish.]

It's my name, Universe! And dont'cha forget it! And the answers might not be to ya liking!

[...the facade breaks, for a minute.]

How's that?
