Week 2

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It's been one whole week, and no one has died yet. For someone who seemed so sure that someone would die, it seems as if The Narrator was wrong about anyone killing another person. But after awhile, the hotel might seem pretty dull. There is only so much to do in here, and if you don't enjoy books and old board games, it's hard to keep you entertained unless you like marathons of Muppet Treasure Island.

But you can keep this up, right?

24 guests remain.]

[SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]

{OOC: Don't forget to turn in your Week 1/Intro AC! Since Peace Week is over, Tuesday and onward are currently locked for the upcoming motive. Everything is going to change soon}

MOTIVE: Walking Distance

[keyofimagination]

I require your attendance in the library promptly.

[The Narrator is already in the library when the guests come down to see what’s going on.his expression is neutral as he speaks.]

I see most of you have adjusted to living into this hotel quite nicely. But this situation is very serious, even if some of you only think this is all just a game to make fun of.

[A very, very pointed glare at Tadashi.]

Because of this, I have been told that the deal needs to sweetened, and encourage those who would otherwise be unwilling to end the life of a fellow guest.

[He clears his throat.]

Every one of you here has had something bad happen to you at some point. Something you regret. Something you would do anything to make right. So, a deal has been made. Kill one of the guests by Friday, and you will get the exclusive opportunity to change one thing about your past. The change can be as small as asking your crush out or as big as saving your hometown. The possibilities of what we can fix about your life are truly unlimited.

You have until Friday to decide if taking the deal is worth it.

[And with that, he vanishes out of sight.]

[higitusfigitusmigitusmum]

Bah! You really think that will work!? That will solve nothing!

[This coming from the dude that can time travel so...]

[geomanctic]

What did he do? [She caught onto that pointed look. Does she need to break the ice queen out?]

[grownmammal]

...That's it? That's all you got?

[ Why would he change his past, he actually likes his life. The only thing wrong is how not rich he is. ]

[nocasetoobig]

Well, yeah, but- how is that worth killing over!?

[but what about everyone else- Chip frowns to himself, unable to think of anyone who seems to have that kind of thing in their past...]

[sentree]

[ Time powers, that's... Thalia frowns deeply and then shakes her head. There's no use arguing with the air, so she says nothing, but dang if that isn't unnerving. ]

[tadaishi]

[Don't give him that look. It is a game that needs to be made fun of.]

That's not a very good incentive. It relies on killing someone and not getting caught doing it. And besides, there's no guarantee you'd get to change anything.

[darnsitall]

Oooh, can you really do that?

[greatwidesomewhere]

[Belle's expression is defiant at first, her arms crossed, and she gives Rod as hard a look as she can muster on that sweet face of hers.]

I'll never hurt someone for you, or whoever it is you're working for.

[But although she tries hard not to let it show...the thought of changing something in her past...

It makes her think twice, because it means there's a chance she could go back and prevent the death of the man...beast she loves.

After a long moment, she looks back up at the place where Rod was only a moment ago, shaking her head.]

That's a dishonorable move. Toying with our emotions...that's despicable.

[theduck]

[Donald is weirdly quiet for a whole few seconds. Funny how just a couple of days ago he’d been telling Thalia about the one thing about his life he would ever consider changing... but that just makes this all the more suspicious.]

You’re going to have to do a lot better than that to get us to go along with your stupid game!

[If Thalia could wait 14 years for her brother, he can wait a little longer for Della. He’s happy with his life now; he won’t kill someone to change it... but the fact that he had to think about it is more than a little concerning. He doesn’t doubt there’s people here who regret a lot more than he does.]

[coulombslaw]

Yeah, right...

[He knows it's possible. Maybe the narrator can do it. But Virgil's not playing along, he's not going to fall for this motive]

[darthfanboy]

Pathetic.

[forgottenfounder]

[While others are loudly protesting their dislike of this motive, Oswald is... silently watching from the back. For as much as he wanted to loudly complain about there being a prize if one was to kill someone, something holds him back.]

....Not like it matters now.

[His luck had finally turned around. Why would he want more then that?]

[lusito]

Your benefactor must have the patience of a child, if they're already getting bored after just a week of our being here.

[stenchus_rodentus]

[Ratigan...

...breaks into raucous laughter. Pretty impressive for a rat as small as him. Even now he had a hard time believing the trickery of this mystery man.]

You're quite the Faustian type, aren't you? Well, it'll be interesting if anyone takes to your deliciously strung bait, won't it?

[fairlypushy]

[Amanda can be found in the library after the motive. She's flipping through the diary Thalia gave her and appears to be taking the motive well - except for how every once in a while books fall down. She doesn't always notice, but every once in a while she sets the diary down and goes to reshelve the books that she knocked down.

Eventually she ends up back in her room. The door doesn't always close (since she kind of broke it her first day here) so if you want to come bother her in there she's just watching Muppet Treasure Island. Again. For the fifteenth time.]

amandas room

[geomanctic]

[Normally, Cornelia would just pass by the door and mind her own business- but the motive has her slightly on edge today. She knocks gently on the door- then nudges it further open, and peers in.]

Did you mean to leave your door part way open?

[fairlypushy]

[Amanda looks up from the TV and sighs.]

It's broken and sometimes it opens by itself. [Protip: don't use your powers to force a door open.] You can come in if you want, though.

library

[forgottenfounder]

[Oswald's chosen to come around and check on everyone. After that motive, he thinks it's at least warranted to see how everyone's dealing with this turn of events.

...He catches her as she goes to reshelve one of the fallen books, moving to pick it up before she does.]

Let me get that...

[fairlypushy]

. . . Sorry. [She knows better than to fight over it, but.] You don't have to clean up after me, I knocked them over in the first place.

[forgottenfounder]

Don't have to apologize. [He states it plainly, standing back up with the fallen literature and moving to return it to its rightful place. If it's a tall place... he can climb.]

Just trying to be helpful... y'know? Heh, it's the 'Mickey Mouse' thing to do.

library

[nocasetoobig]

[here he is just minding his own business and suddenly-]

WOAH!

[THAT SURE WAS A BOOK THAT ALMOST FUCKING LANDED ON HIM JESUS CHRIST]

[fairlypushy]

[The book is kind of hovering three or four inches off the ground, then it re-shelves itself.]

Are you okay? I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were there.

sadsaf tag got lost

[nocasetoobig]

[STARING UP AT DEATH OH GEESH NOW ITS MOVING NOW ITS

hes okay

its fine

deeeeep breath]

I'm okay, but you're acting like you made it fall.

[it's probably magnets right]
