Week 2

[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}
darnsitall: Just let me go we'll meet again soon (Now we're torn torn torn apart)

Library - INVESTIGATION

[personal profile] darnsitall 2017-10-09 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
A

[Sally is REALLY EXCITED when a newspaper about a 'spider man' pops out of the penny machine, and she takes it to the library to read all about the hideous half-man, half-spider's rampage! Imagine her disappointment when she flips to the article and sees a picture of the creature. It's not very scary at all!]

...How can he be a spider man when he only has four limbs?

B

[Tossing the newspaper aside, Sally starts to peruse the library stacks. It's been a week and nobody's had much luck solving the mystery, so she takes it upon herself to strangle everyone else in their sleep search for clues. And a spooky library full of occult tomes is just the place to find a secret! Like, say, a hidden passage?

Anyone coming by the library will find Sally systematically tugging each book on the shelf. She's not removing any of them, she's just... pulling on one, pushing it back, then moving on to the next one.]

Really? Let me see.

[Virgil takes a look at the newspaper and at the creature. Well! That's...certainly something he knows about!]

Oh, that. I think it's because this is a man who was bitten by a spider. If a spider got bitten by a man, then it'd have eight limbs.

[What nonsense are you talking about now, Virgil]
darnsitall: All that's left is the ghost of you (You're gone gone gone away)

[personal profile] darnsitall 2017-10-10 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
But wouldn't that make him a man-spider?

[Apparently, the kind of nonsense that makes perfect sense to Sally.]

[personal profile] coulombslaw 2017-10-10 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
That's not catchy enough. You can't make catchy songs with 'man-spider'.

[SONGS.....]

People sing songs about the spider man?
coulombslaw: (36)

[personal profile] coulombslaw 2017-10-10 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
They do! Never heard of it? It's a simple thing, trying to be catchy instead of deep. It goes like...

Spider-Man, Spider-Man / does whatever a spider can / spins a web, any size, / catches thieves just like flies / look out! / here comes the Spider-Man

[personal profile] darnsitall 2017-10-10 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sally applauds!]

'Catches thieves'? Oh, so he's a hero and not a rampaging monster! Now it makes more sense.
coulombslaw: (22)

[personal profile] coulombslaw 2017-10-10 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! A lot of people like that guy.

[Virgil flicks the corner of the newspaper]

Except the man who owns this newspaper. He's always trying to make Spiderman look like the bad guy.

[personal profile] darnsitall 2017-10-11 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if you ask me, he'd be a lot better at catching thieves if he had more arms!
coulombslaw: (43)

[personal profile] coulombslaw 2017-10-12 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
You're right, he would! But that's why he has spiderwebs, he throws spiderwebs onto the thieves and that stops them right where they are. It's so cool!

[Sally no, that's not a fun group activity.

But as soon as Oswald passes by the library room, and spots what Sally's doing, he had to stop and regard this whole situation.
]

...Looking for clues, eh?
darnsitall: It's killing me to see you this way (And some days I can't even dress myself)

[personal profile] darnsitall 2017-10-10 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! One of these books is bound to be a switch for a hidden passage!
forgottenfounder: (So?)

[personal profile] forgottenfounder 2017-10-12 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Oh?

[.....]

Well, I'm sorry, but there's gonna be a problem with that.
darnsitall: Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear (Some days I don't know)

[personal profile] darnsitall 2017-10-12 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
What do you mean?
forgottenfounder: (Stars)

[personal profile] forgottenfounder 2017-10-12 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, I was already looking through these books last week. I didn't find very much.

[Or. Much at all, really.]

Except for some books that might've been read recently.

[...you just say the strangest things don't you? Ratigan picks this up in passing on his giant fluffy cat and can't resist commenting.]

Perhaps it is a stage name.

darnsitall: We used to play outside when we were young (Soon it will be over)

[personal profile] darnsitall 2017-10-10 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Even if it is, he should at least make an effort to look more like a spider, don't you think?
stenchus_rodentus: (And gently play on your heart strings)

[personal profile] stenchus_rodentus 2017-10-11 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Glances at the cover before giving a bemused reply.]

I hardly doubt those penny dreadfuls are given much more thought beyond the moment ink touches the paper.
darnsitall: I'll see you when I fall asleep (Now wait wait wait for me)

[personal profile] darnsitall 2017-10-12 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
What a waste! And here I thought I had gotten a good gift!
stenchus_rodentus: (Default)

[personal profile] stenchus_rodentus 2017-10-15 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It appears our gift giver may come with a sense of...irony.
tadaishi: (what?)

A

[personal profile] tadaishi 2017-10-10 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Tadashi's already gone through the books, so he's not looking for anything. He's wandered into the library to try his hand at getting the television to play something besides what the one in his room plays or static.]

You looking for something in particular?

I'm looking for secrets! This place has to be full of them!
