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'd offer to have you visit once we get out of here, but I'm not sure if I can promise that.

[greatwidesomewhere]

[Belle offers him a small smile.]

It's still a very kind thought.

[tadaishi]

I mean, I'm not saying I'm not offering, I just don't want to promise anything.

[He considers something for a second.]

Have you been in Joshua's room yet? There's a painting of the Golden Gate bridge in there. My city's pretty well known for it, so that's close to a visit.

[greatwidesomewhere]

I have! Is that what that was—it looked like a marvelous structure. [She lowers her chin and smiles, mainly to herself.]

It would be wondrous to see the world, someday. All of it.

[tadaishi]

That's an ambitious goal. Have you visited much outside of Paris and...Villeneuve?

[He butchered the pronunciation of that, and he is sorry.]

[greatwidesomewhere]

I've never actually been to Paris. We left when I was very small.

[She visited with the Beast using his magic book, but...that had been more melancholy than anything, and not real besides.]

But aside from that, I haven't been more than a few miles from Villeneuve.

[tadaishi]

Ah, right...I guess it doesn't count as visiting unless you remember it.

[greatwidesomewhere]

Not quite. But still, I would like to go back, someday...

[Assuming she makes it out of her alive, which she is trying very hard not to dwell on too much.]

What is it that you do, in your home?

[tadaishi]

I'm in school right now, working towards a degree in robotics engineering.

And watching my younger brother. [He laughs a little at that.] It's a full-time job.

[greatwidesomewhere]

[Belle seems to consider that for a long moment, and then—]

What, precisely, does that entail? Inventing...?

[Being from the 1750s, she has literally no frame of reference for the word 'robot'.]

[tadaishi]

Sort of like inventing. Machines, mostly. For one of my school projects, I built a robot designed to take care of you if you get sick.

[greatwidesomewhere]

That's amazing! I assume a robot is something like an automaton?

[She's 100% picturing a clockwork nurse right now.]

My papa is an inventor, too, and I...dabble.

[tadaishi]

Yeah, exactly like an automaton! Sorry...I should've asked before I assumed.

[Good, we're on the same page.]

Awesome, the world needs more inventors.
