Week 1

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Now that the Narrator is done explaining the situation, you all have time to assess the situation and maybe even work together to find a way out. After all, clearly the Narrator is being over dramatic and it can't be that hard to escape out of here without murdering everyone, right?

But, with the doors outside indeed locked and all the windows unbreakable, it might not be a bad idea to explore the hotel, either for alternative methods of escape or to relieve boredom. Your Narrator is also now available for private chat in case you want to interrogate him or throw more stuff at his face.

If the locked doors aren't bad enough, when everyone goes back to the lobby, they'll notice a plaque on the front desk. If you thought your Narrator wasn't serious before, this is damning evidence to the contrary.

Either way, we really do hope you enjoy your stay in this hotel.]

[ Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday ]

{OOC And this'll be the last mod post for the week! Feel free to drop your coins into the penny press once you've earned them. And because this is a peace week, there will be no murder committed!  And if you plan on investigating, just let us know in your toplevel by putting in INVESTIGATION. Have fun while you still can!]

I can't just give up simply because they're weaker than before! I mean, I still have some of it, so if I can make it stronger somehow then we should all be out of here in no time.

[theduck]

I guess you've got the right attitude, at least.

[honestly if he and the Magic Crew™ could actually get their powers working again they might just be able to all get out of here? he's not convinced that it's going to be that easy, but it's a pretty solid option.]

[coulombslaw]

What about you? Got anything taken from you? Were you some kind of... [He wiggles his fingers. Is he being sarcastic or not?] ...magic duck?

[I bet what got taken from you were your pants]

[theduck]

[why is everyone in this hotel so obsessed with pants and whether or not he wears them]

Uh... no. I've dealt with magic before, but... that was a long time ago.

[and he's not wildly experienced with magic that Isn't trying to kill him.]

[coulombslaw]

Really? How was it like?

[It's so weird to hear about the lives of the talking animals around here -- especially because they're so unusual. It'd be fun for Virgil if they weren't trapped in this hotel]

[theduck]

Evil.

[He realizes that doesn’t actually give a very good description and sighs.]

Scrooge is really into old things— you know, cursed artifacts and junk. He’s got so many curses on him that he spends millions on defenses against magic!

[And that still doesn’t stop him from getting into the stuff.]

[coulombslaw]

...sounds like he really needs a new hobby. Knitting or something like that, anything that doesn't involve curses.

[theduck]

You're telling me! At least then I wouldn't have to worry about the boys as much.

[coulombslaw]

The boys? You got kids?

[Virgil is apalled. Did that Twilight Zone guy kidnap a father? Now that's despicable!]

[theduck]

Nephews. Three of them. I’ve been trying not to worry about them, but...

[He doesn’t completely trust Scrooge with them yet. And he knows they must be worried about him, too.]
