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!]

[Belle looks skeptical.]</small. I've never heard of anyone playing tennis wearing something like this.

[pavlovsdad]

Its quite typical, I assure you. Not my particular game, but it is a respectable sport. Not as impressive as golf, but still respectable.

[greatwidesomewhere]

In my time, such games are for the nobility. People such as myself...well, we don't have much time for sport.

[pavlovsdad]

[Thank god.]

How unfortunate. Its quite an enjoyable pastime.

[greatwidesomewhere]

Are you part of the aristocracy, then, m'sieur?

[pavlovsdad]

Of a sort. I'm more partial to democratic systems. [As long as the people voting are the rich- wait.]

Preston Northwest, billionaire and businessman.

[greatwidesomewhere]

I think democracy is a very enlightened way of thinking—

[Belle's eyes go very, very wide.]

Billionaire. A...a billion francs?

[pavlovsdad]

Of course. The Nortwest family line has had centuries of success.

[greatwidesomewhere]

Well...That's very fortunate.

[pavlovsdad]

Fortune favors the hardworking.

[greatwidesomewhere]

And what sort of work do you do?

[pavlovsdad]

Oh, a variety of things. Stocks, investing in foreign markets and accounts, managing a number of local businesses, funding one or two military outfits, party managing... it keeps me quite busy.

[Thank goodness he has other people to take care of the horrid work for him]

[greatwidesomewhere]

Oh...That sounds...complicated.

[And dull. And questionable. But she doesn't voice that concern.]

[pavlovsdad]

[Hey, if it seems dull, it means no one will ask too many questions when money vanishes to the Cayman Islands.]

It takes a keen mind to keep track of it all.

[greatwidesomewhere]

I should think so.

[Belle puts the pair of shorts back on the rack.]

It's lucky we have such a variety of clothing at hand. I expect we'll need it if we're all to be stuck here.
