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}

...

A person could be dead right now.

[theduck]

We're all going to die here anyways!

[listen he's already gone through the other stages of grief. that, or this is just a drawn-out panic attack? both are likely]

[hallotween]

Donald!

[she's like a weird mixture of concern and anger rn]

Look, we've gone a whole week without killing anyone! Seven whole days! We just need to keep doing those seven days over and over until we find our way out, okay? It's not that hard!

[theduck]

Not that hard? People are already getting stir-crazy! How many rewatches of that weird puppet pirate movie do you think someone can take?

[he doesn't WANT to think that anyone would actually kill someone- it seems like most of them are at least acquaintances, or have some sort of pact going on- but he's not going to pretend that he isn't already nervous about the possibility.]

If we've gone a whole week without finding any clue on how to get out of here, do you really think another week would make any difference?

[hallotween]

Yeah, I do! Rome wasn't built in a day, you know! It was built in lots of days! We just need to get creative with distractions...

[she's doing this literally still holding what for all she knows could be a human heart in her hands.]

Besides, if this really is another dimension, it's not like time means anything! We could have hundreds of years to figure it out before anything bad happens! [SHE FINDS THIS COMFORTING]

[theduck]

[you know what they say, a heart in the hand is worth more than something something about a bush]

Hundreds of years?! I don't know about you, but I can't be stuck here for that long! What if something's happening in my dimension? The boys might need me!

[although if he was here for a hundred years maybe he'd have time to get good at chess???]

[hallotween]

No, no, it'd only be that here! Time passes differently in dimensions-- a year where I live could be a hundred years where my grandma does! This place probably works the same way!

[theduck]

But we don't know that! What if it's the opposite?

[hallotween]

Then everyone we've ever known and loved will be long dead and we'll be miserable and stuck in a world we'll never understand.

[is this what you want donald does hope ruin your jive]

[theduck]

Exactly!

[see, now you're on the same page as him]

[hallotween]

-- Really? That's what you're good with? Not being optimistic or anything, but literally the worst possible scenario?

[theduck]

What can I say? I'm a realist! Always expect the worst, and if the best happens, then you get to be pleasantly surprised.

[hallotween]

That's not realism! That's pessimism. And it's not gonna help anyone get out of here.

[theduck]

Realism and pessimism are the same thing when your life is terrible! And I don't see optimism getting us out of here, either.

[hallotween]

-- That's [ugh forget it]

Well, no, it's probably gonna be magic. And force. Spells and punching.

[theduck]

See? That's much more reasonable. At least I can help with the punching.

[hallotween]

We can't get to the punching unless we keep hope alive. [BRIBE HIM INTO POSITIVITY WITH VIOLENCE]

[theduck]

Punching is self-sustaining! No hope required.

[yeah he's just being a shit on purpose now]

But I'll keep it in mind.

[hallotween]

[SHE'LL TAKE IT]

Thank you. [two for two on haranguing old men into more positive ways]
