MePad Mansion (formerly known as Purgatory Mansion) is a large and old mansion located on the island. The spirits of Bow, Dough, and now Knife reside here, as well as Marshmallow, Apple, and possibly the rest of the Inanimate Insanity contestants. It was introduced in "Let 'Er R.I.P.", and comes back in "Kick the Bucket", "Out of Body Experience" and "The Reality of the Situation".
After the mansion was deleted in "Through No Choice of Your Own", it was rebuilt by the contestants and renamed to "MePad Mansion" in honor of MePad.
Description[]
MePad Mansion is a large gray dilapidated building surrounded by dead trees. The house contains many hallways and rooms, including a bedroom and a bar room.
As described by Bow, one of the inhabitants, MePad Mansion is where objects' spirits go after they've perished. The spirits cannot leave the house, as Bow describes her spirit as "trapped", although they can briefly travel outside the windows.
Known Rooms[]
- Foyer: The entrance hall of the mansion. In the center of the house, the foyer has a circular carpet and high ceilings with a chandelier. A painting of objects playing poker is hung on the wall which Bow interacts with. A large staircase leads up to the second floor but is used by Dough to roll down.
- Bow's Room: A bedroom with purple wallpaper that contains a bed, table and music box. Bow hides inside the music box in order to scare Marshmallow.
- Bar room: A large room with a bar in it, complete with glasses, Dr. Fizz, and bar chairs. A piano is also stationed in the room that Dough plays.
- Gallery: A red room with multiple pictures hung on the wall. It's rather dusty, as Soap spends some time clearing dust bunnies out of the room.
Trivia[]
- The word "purgatory" is used literally, as it is defined as "an intermediate state after death", referring to the spirits trapped in the mansion.
- Bow's Room appears to be heavily based off of Boo's Room from Monster's Inc, complete with a flower door with a similar design, a Luxo Jr. bedside lamp, and a Luxo Ball.
- According to Taylor, a scrapped idea was that the piano in the barroom was self-playing.[1]
- Box appears in several places in the mansion.
- Albeit not confirmed, it is likely that the mansion was generated by MePhone4. Microphone mentions how the mansion had just "appeared one day" in "Let Er' R.I.P.". It is also implied to have been generated by Steve Cobs in "The Reality of the Situation".
- A Q&A thread by Brian Koch on Twitter confirmed that after the events of "Objects in Mirror", the mansion was rebuilt and renamed to MePad Mansion in honor of MePad.[citation needed]
