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}

[The week is... a little quiet. Not that Oswald can blame that, there's suddenly a motive hanging over their heads. Still, keeping spirits up is important, so Oswald's up in the morning, preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Hope ya'll like bacon and eggs, he's making a lot... it's almost like he cooks in excess a lot.

Later on, he's taken to pacing in the lobby back and forth, hands behind his back. He seems deep in thought about something. Sometimes, he's standing in front of the fireplace, staring into the flames, other times he's trying to peer out the window... he's kind of short.

Even later on, around the evening, Oswald's drifted to the Game Room where he's set up one of those strange games before him. Anyone that's passing by will get him ushering them towards him.]

Hey! Want to try this thing out?

Game Room

[pavlovsdad]

[He peers at the board with a standard raised eyebrow.]

Is this some sort of... commoner map?

[forgottenfounder]

[...He blinks.]

Err, no. It's a game? A board game?

[pavlovsdad]

A game for boredom. [He sniffs.] What will they think of next?

[forgottenfounder]

Or a game for the family? Or friends? It's a good way to pass the time.

[He peers at the instructions(?) on the box cover. Hmm.]

If... you know how it works.

[pavlovsdad]

Why would my family and business associates play with a colorful piece of cardboard?

[It seems weird]

game room

[lusito]

I don't see why not. Perhaps it will give us some insight in regards to our current situation, hm?

[... Also, guess who decided to wear the Oswald hat today.]

[forgottenfounder]

I'm not sure how much it'll help, but it can't hur-

[And Oswald was going to set up a few pieces, but now he was just. stopped.

He openly stares at Joshua, uncomprehendingly.]

[lusito]

... Is something wrong?

[he says, as if he doesn't know exactly why Oswald is staring like that]

[forgottenfounder]

[Slowly, carefully, Oswald brings his hand up to feel along his head, finding his ears there, checking that they're still there.

...He detaches one with a small pop, and brings it down to look at. Then, he looks back at Joshua, pointing with the ear.]

...Where did you get that?

[lusito]

Oh, this? It came out of that penny press machine right over there a few days ago.

[Neat, huh?]

Game Room

[coulombslaw]

Sure, let's give it a try!

[It could be a nice way to kill some time. Virgil examines the board, unsure of what exactly he's seeing]

How's this supposed to work?

[forgottenfounder]

Not sure.

[He states plainly as he picks up one of the game pieces, looking it over in his fingers.]

I've been trying to figure it out for the past few minutes.

[coulombslaw]

I suppose this weird board game did earn its name, this is a mystery for the ages.

[Virgil turns the board around as if he expects answers over there. Nope, nothing. Even with the instructions in the box, it's almost impossible to do much with it]

You know what's good to do in times like these? Improvise.

[forgottenfounder]

[Oswald looks at him, also expecting an answer, not just for the board game, but for... everything else?]

Improvise with a board game? How?

lobby

[nocasetoobig]

Everything ok?

[Sup, Oswald, it's This (little) Guy. Coming across you during one of your staring contests with the fireplace]

[forgottenfounder]

Hmm? Oh. [It's Chip! aaaaaaaaaa- Ahem. No, he can keep it together now.]

Hey. I was just thinking... about home, and stuff.

[nocasetoobig]

[RUN, MORTAL, RUN]

Home, huh? Where's it for you? [He glances towards the fire, frowning a bit]

[forgottenfounder]

It's a place called the Cartoon Wasteland. It's not a place a lot of people know.

[He glances at Chip for a split second before returning to the flames.]

You wouldn't have heard about it.

game room

[goofy_er]

[Oh!! A board game! How exciting.]

Of course! Gawrsh, I haven't played one o' these in ages! How do ya play?

[forgottenfounder]

[Goofy! Just the person he wanted to see around here. At least he's in his usual good spirits.]

I'm glad you're excited, Goofy. Actually, I was just trying to figure out how to play. Seems like there has to be some intructions for it, right?

Kitchen

[darnsitall]

[Because when is Sally not in the kitchen?]

Someone beat me to it this morning, I see!

[forgottenfounder]

[Sally is a Good, and Oswald just gives her a smile.]

Just thought I would give it my own shot today. I took care of all my children on my own for a while, so it's not that hard.

[darnsitall]

You're a father! How nice. How old are they?

[forgottenfounder]

Oh, they're all just kids right now, but that just makes them more of a handful, you know? For a while, it was even just me taking care of them, without my sweet Ortensia.

[She. probably doesn't.]
