Introduction

[grimgrinningghosts]

[You wake up in a bed.

A rather comfy bed, but as you open your eyes, you realize that this room is not one you’ve ever been in before. And even the most villainous of you should notice that something is immediately very off by how morbid your room looks. While generally clean, it looked dark and like it was a part of a very old house.

And that “Rest in Peace” throw pillow really isn’t doing the room any favors.

Meanwhile, on the dresser on top of your new notebook, there is also a message:]

When the clock strikes 13 o’clock. You must all meet in the stretching room for a special announcement.

[Well, it would be rude to refuse an invitation, right?

As soon as you leave your room, you notice a stark difference between the bedroom and the rest of the building. It looked like it hadn’t been kept up in ages, and it shows with how everything is caked in dust or covered in cobwebs. But judging by the other bedroom doors, possibly with other people peering out at the same time you, at least you’re not alone in this strange situation.

As you explore the rest of the first floor of the mansion, you’ll come to realize that, besides the bedrooms, the whole place is rather decrepit and dimly lit. While all rooms may provide a great interest in you, the the bios of all your foolish mortals might be useful to you, especially if you enjoy finding out how much your new captor has learned about you.]

No one here but us Karolinas.

[ She looks around a little. ]

And whoever else, I guess. But I haven't seen a Francesca.

[amadeusrockette]

[???? Carolinas like?? The American state?????]

I'm not from Carolina?

[tangerinetrees]

I didn't say you were? My name is... wait, where's just Carolina?

[amadeusrockette]

Isn't that an American state? Carolina?

[She thinks it's "North" and "South" like Berlin is "East" and "West."]

[tangerinetrees]

It's two. North and South. But my name is Karolina, with a K. Hi.

[amadeusrockette]

[???? It's two states??? That seems fake, but ok.]

Hello, Karolina-with-a-K. I'm Julia.

[tangerinetrees]

Julia. Not from the US, I take it.

[amadeusrockette]

Germany, actually. There seem to be a lot of Americans here, though.

[tangerinetrees]

Yeah, or at least not a lot of Germans. You think maybe we're somewhere in America?

[amadeusrockette]

I'm not sure, but I would think so? There seems to be a lot of English, but I guess we could be in the UK.

[tangerinetrees]

Maybe. Were there any of those... you know, the words they write differently, on that note we got?

[amadeusrockette]

Words they write differently? [????? English is English, Miss Karolina-with-a-K.] Is there a difference between American English and UK English?

[tangerinetrees]

You know, like how they write color with a o-u-r instead of just o-r.

[amadeusrockette]

Do they really? [Yeah ok, Julia's just gonna pull the note from her pocket and hold it out.] I wouldn't know, maybe you should check it.

[tangerinetrees]

Oh, you have yours, awesome.

[ She'll just look it over. ]

I'm not seeing anything. So it could be the UK I guess.

[amadeusrockette]

Is "stretching room" an American term? [She's been wondering about that. Like, wtf even is a "stretching room"? I don't think it's a British one.

[tangerinetrees]

If it's either, I've never heard of it. But it sounds more British.

[amadeusrockette]

Does that mean it's some sort of physical education room? [Please be a room where you do stretches.] It sounds sort of . . . ominous, don't you think?

[tangerinetrees]

Yeah, a little. I mean, rooms don't stretch, so. [ IT'S THAT OR TORTURE CHAMBER ]
