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!]

It might be magic! But it's more than likely just a recording.

[And there's a creepy doll standing right behind you.]

[greatwidesomewhere]

[Belle is about to turn around and ask what a recording is supposed to be, but before the words make it out of her mouth, she catches sight of the person talking, and a frightened squeak comes out instead. Belle claps both hands over her mouth, eyes wide as dinner plates. And not the fun, dancing kind.]

I—I'm so sorry, it's just...are you quite alright?

[darnsitall]

I'm fine! Why do you ask?

[The stitches across her face make Sally's smile look wider and unhinged than it actually is.]

[greatwidesomewhere]

Ah—

[Belle takes a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down a little. She's learned by now that appearances are deceiving. She shouldn't make such hasty judgments.]

No reason! [With only a little reluctance, she sticks out her hand.] I'm Belle.

[darnsitall]

[Today is Belle's lucky day and she's not going to have her head chomped by the living dead.]

I'm Sally! Aren't these pictures convenient? I feel like I know everybody already.

[greatwidesomewhere]

I know what you mean. [Alright. This Sally seems...sweet! Even if her appearance is off-putting.] It's helpful to know who I'm apparently stuck here with.

[darnsitall]

'Stuck with'? That's a funny way to look at it, but I guess you're right!

[SALLY YOU'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED.]

[greatwidesomewhere]

Oh— [That came out sounding rude, didn't it?] I didn't mean that in a bad way! Just...none of us can exactly leave.

[darnsitall]

Not yet! But once we solve the mystery we'll be free to go!

[What's a little murder between strangers am I right]

[greatwidesomewhere]

I want to hope it will be that simple...

[Belle tilts her head at the ragdoll.]

You don't seem all that bothered by this.
