To think, they call MY studio a waste of money, when they go and build this thing! Unlike Studio A, Studio B is almost entirely contained in one large building, and to make things worse, it's one of those "tourist" studios where people can wander around and blow their cash on booze and trinkets.

Does no one respect the art of film anymore? Apparently not. Anyway, this place isn't exactly popular with tourists, as rumor is that one of the producers who used to work here went crazy and forever wanders these halls, muttering about "killing games" and lynching some guy named Dray? Drey? Drei? Something like that. Anyway, that's good, because it means some actual filming can get done for once.

...And don't tell the Studio A guys that you're using the guest dorms in this studio, okay?

The Map

Room Descriptions: Show

Auditorium
A simple viewing room with nine long couches facing a projector screen, a projector hands on the south wall. There are two entrances, one on the south side and one on the east side. Doesn’t appear to be used much.

Waiting Room
A run-down looking room, there are a couple chairs in here, three on the north and south walls, but not much else. There are also various movie posters hanging on the walls, but otherwise it’s a pretty blank room.

Security Checkpoints
Three separate checkpoints that allow passage through a huge chainlink fence that spans the length of the floor and goes up to the ceiling. The checkpoints have metal detectors in them that still appear functional, but also look somewhat ragged.

Restrooms
I seriously doubt I need to explain what these do, needless to say you assholes will still piss all over everything else in this studio anyways so why even bother with having these here, but they’re restrooms. They’ve got stalls and urinals and whatnot, pretty standard stuff.

Elevators
Elevators, two sets of two of them, two on the north wall and two on the south wall. They take you up and down. Simple stuff.

The Bar
Your host’s favorite room, the one where you can forget that life is a thing and just drink away the misery that is existence. Or just get a drink, either one. There’s a long bar in the back of the room with a wall covered in liquor bottles. There’s also five tables and another long table on the eastern side of the room.

Souvenir Shop
Yay you can buy something from here to take back home with you after we’re done here! … What do you mean you have no money?... wait who even works this thing? No one? Then… okay whatever just grab stuff off the wall if you want, it’s just posters at this point anyways. It’s an interesting shape though and it looks like it can be climbed on top of.

Restaurant
Oh boy, food! You can eat here! You can cook here! No one else is here to cook for you so you have to cook! There’s a large table with a stove and sink close to the southern entrance and a strange locked closet that’s been reinforced, wonder what’s in there?

Dorms
The first floor’s section of the dorms, where some of you will be staying during your time here. There’s nine rooms here, and they all look the same, just a bed and a small table next to your bed. Look, you might work in a studio but you’re all third-rate actors and employees, don’t get all upset cause you don’t have 5-star rooms okay just deal with it.

???
What the hell is that? It looks like a trapdoor, but it’s huge and metal. Wonder what that’s for…

Room description: Show

Lake Set
This is the set where we film our amazing water-based scenes. A blue, flowing lake- okay no it’s just a giant pool. It doesn’t even slope down into the water gradually, it literally drops off into a 10ft pool immediately so don’t expect to be able to wade into there all nice and gently, you’re going to get wet if you leave the edge of it. It’s also fairly warm for some reason. The only other thing of note is a table to the south of the lake, nothing super fancy.

Editing and Tech Storage
Okay this is where we make the movie magic happen, our dedicated team of editors, filmers, e- wait where are our editors? Where’s the tech team even at? This room is abandoned! Oh well, it still has the equipment in it, the southern walls are covered in large screens that can be used to view recordings and do some editing as well if you’re savvy enough, otherwise you’ll just kinda be lost at what you’re looking at. There’s also two closets here, the smaller closet has spare camera equipment in it while the longer one has spare computer parts and a couple props in them. It has an entrance on the north wall and appears to lead into the Prop Workshop as well.

Prop Workshop
From a gladiator’s sword to a pop-cap gun, you can make your props here. There’s a supply closet to the right side of the wall and it appears that this room is connected to the Editing and Tech Storage as well. Remember kids, be careful when handling dangerous materials!

Saloon Set
Yeehaw pardner, our western shootout movies are filmed here (even though none of them were successful apparently). The entrance is on the southern wall and it has those old-timey swinging doors, you know the kind I mean. It has a long bar to the west side of the saloon and four tables across from it. It looks like there’s some holes in the roof and walls too, probably someone getting a bit too into their shootouts and just missing their target completely.

Gallery Set
Elegant paintings and masterful statues are contained in this high-walled room. There are two entrances, one to the north and one to the east, and the room looks almost like it’s sectioned off in two parts by a dividing wall, but only for half the room. There’s a long table on the western half of the room with various jewels and busts with paintings lining the wall, and on the eastern side there’s four different presentation walls with paintings as well, and four huge statues that appear to be in the model of some strange dances. They have plaques to say what they are doing, but you’ll just have to check them out to see!

Elevators
The elevators that connect to the ones on the first floor, nothing special about them.

Dorms
Second floor dorms, these are laid out the same as the first floor but also have two tables under a balcony at the entrance. The rooms are the exact same as the first floor’s too, just a bed and a small table.

Flooded Hallway
A prime example of why putting bathrooms in the same hall as the bedrooms is a terrible idea. Someone left the sink on, and it's spilled all through the hall, leaving it in a terrible state. It is barricaded off with some caution tape, but you could probably get in if you wanted.

Anyway, yeah you'll be starting in your dorms, which unlike the trailers in Studio A, have a little more room to move around, even if they're all furnished basically the same, as described above. There's a backdoor out into the [b]Woods too, but I'd recommend not wandering around in there. Rumor has it that a bunch of bad stuff went down in those woods, and you know what they say about curiosity and the cat and all that cliche junk.

Speaking of pay grade, you'll be joined by two members of the Non-contract Production Crew:

-Liz: Probably short for Elizabeth? Anyway, she's a Security Guard. All I know is that she's got a short temper, hardly sleeps, and carries a gun, so I'd stay away from her if I were you, at least if you're gonna be causing any trouble. Personally, she seems like she's snooping around for something, but I sure don't know what that something is.

-The Janitor: Does this guy have a name? No? Ehhh, oh well. This guy's a Janitor, real old dude. Been with the studio for a long time, and absolutely hates messes. He's been dispatched here to deal with this whole flooded hallway thing, but maybe if the executives had listened to me and just revamped the abandoned studio around here, we wouldn't be dealing with the fallout of uppity tourists anyway. Regardless, if he sees a mess, he'll clean it up.

I think that's all to say, anyway. Been staring at this forum interface so long that it's starting to give me a headache.

A Saloon Set! Is there an old-timey piano in there? Wouldn't be the best model, but I wouldn't mind getting the rust off my hands for the sake of practice.

Puhuhu, as long as there's no vents leading onto bookshelves!

I hope your not thinking of using this as an excuse to go gamble and drink instead. For "Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow." (Proverbs 13:11)

I fucking hate this job already.
