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}

[Preston has pretty much spent the whole week going through the motions. Each morning he gets himself (and his suit) cleaned for the day, waiting in the dining room for... literally anyone to make food for him.

He occasionally skims the coat room, disgusted with the options and largely sticking to his personal suit by and large. He hates having to wear and clean his own stuff, but he has presentation to consider.

Otherwise, he's almost entirely spending time in the library. He's not a fan of the occult, but its important for a billionaire to keep his mind busy. Granted, normally he paid other people to read the books for him and give a summary. When in Rome.

He typically sticks to the informational books, but he gives a few spooky tales a try. Anything to stave off the boredom in this place.]

library

[anasty]

[ Ursula has been steadily making her way through the library's collection - or at least the part of it that remains outside of whatever Merlin has hoarded for himself. Most of it is drivel in her opinion, pure sensationalism for the bored housewife, but it isn't going to stop her from hunting down a few pearls of wisdom.

Which is why she doesn't hesitate to reach out and try to pluck free the tome Preston has pulled down from the shelves. ]

Not so fast, my debonair darling...

[pavlovsdad]

[Preston is 90% sure Ursula is wearing some exceedingly bizarre costume. Or perhaps she's the result of some kind of new experimental surgery the New Rich are so fond of these days. Either way, she's got some new hip fashion sense that he doesn't get, but doesn't feel a need to comment on.

He raises an eyebrow at the grab, keeping his grip on the book.]

...Pardon?

dining room

[theduck]

[Donald's been doing Relatively Okay (by his standards), even after the motive. He may or may not have been hiding out in his room for the rest of the week, but on Thursday he finally gets back out and resumes his new default nervous habit of making dozens of sandwiches. He's so far beyond the point of caring that 100% of these ones really are just lettuce and bread with nothing else on them.

He's carrying stacks of sad leaf sandwiches around and leaving them on random surfaces just so he doesn't have to look at them anymore when he passes the dining room and sees that fancy rich guy just sitting there alone waiting for... probably food, if literally every day of the last two weeks have indicated anything about this guy's personality.

Donald stares for a couple of seconds before sliding a lettuce sandwich down the length of the dining room table.]

Bon appétit.

[pavlovsdad]

[He grimaces at the sight of more tacky sandwiches.]

Is this all you know how to make?

[theduck]

I haven’t seen you cook anything since we got here! I don’t think you have any room to complain.

[pavlovsdad]

I had a diverse education. I didn't have time to cook or clean or whatever you get up to in there.

[theduck]

Yeah, well, we're not gonna keep babysitting you forever, so you'd better make time for it.

coat room

[fairlypushy]

[Amanda emerges from a coat rack - literally emerges, she was doing some investigation.]

Oh, hi. Are you looking for something?

[pavlovsdad]

Hm? [Oh, one of the girls.] Just browsing, thank you.

[fairlypushy]

If you're looking for suits, I think I saw a couple in the back.

[She's trying to be Helpful.]
