Week 3

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Three people are dead in the span of one day. Two of which did absolutely nothing to deserve their gruesome deaths. Hopefully, no matter how silly this hope is, it's the last of the deaths in this hotel.

But maybe it's not all bad now? When people awake this Sunday, they will find that the door for 225 is now open, and for some reason leads to a bunch of cool new rooms to explore! Maybe this would be a great opportunity to bond over each other to make sure no one else dies again.

And no one else will die again, right?

21 guests remain.]

[SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]

{ooc: Don't forget to turn in your Week 2 AC by 10/18 @ 1PM EST! There also might be... something tagging around this week. Please let us know if you would like to opt out of it!}

MOTIVE: Living Doll

[keyofimagination]

I require your attendance in the library once again.

[When the guests arrive in the library, The Narrator is once again already in the room, this time looking at an old doll that one or two of you might recognize contemplatively. Once everyone arrives, he sets the doll down on a nearby desk.]

My benefactor was very satisfied by the events of last week, so motives will now be a common occurrence until further notice.

[He gestures over to the doll.]

This is Talky Tina, a doll that can do anything. She can talk, she can move, she almost appears to be alive.

[Suddenly, as if on cue, the doll moves her head towards the guests.]

She has a bit of a mind of her own, and a short tempered mind at that. She already isn’t fond of you as guests, so I would be careful around her if I were you.

And if no one kills by Friday… well, Talky Tina won’t be happy if that happens.

[ooc: Basically, for those who haven’t seen the episode, Talky Tina will randomly appear around the building, giving them both regular threats and death threats. She is also completely indestructible if anyone gets their hands on her, so no cheating out of this motive!

You can either have her pop up in threads by yourself or we will randomly threadjack threads (unless you want to opt out of threadjacks) with your favorite doll.]

[higitusfigitusmigitusmum]

[Have you ever seen an old man run? Because there goes Merlin right out the room. He goes straight to his own room to see if the doll is still there.]

This can't be-!!

[geomanctic]

[just this face. forever.]

[darnsitall]

[Sally's eyes just LIGHT THE FUCK UP]

Isn't she darling!

[greatwidesomewhere]

I don't know if 'darling' is the word I'd use...

[darnsitall]

Oh, but just look at her pigtails! And those adorable little dimples! She really does look like she could get up and start walking any second, doesn't she?

[She's going to reach over and try to pinch Tina's cheeks.]

[sentree]

[ ...#YIKES BASICALLY? ]

[nocasetoobig]

[hey, thalia.

hope you don't mind chip kind of scurrying up you in surprise when tina fucking looks at him JESSSUUUUSSSS]

[sentree]

[ NAW SON IT'S OKAY YOU HIDE she starts for a moment but nope, let her shelter him. ...if only her hair was longer ]

[coulombslaw]

...is this for real?

[This is a ridiculous motive and Virgil will be disappointed when this drives someone to kill, hahaha]

[tadaishi]

[Welp. That's a thing.]

Anyone here ordained?

[This is only partly a joke.]

[coulombslaw]

We could try anyway. How's it supposed to go? [Virgil makes exaggerated cross gestures at the horrible doll] The power of Christ compels you. The power of Christ compels you.

Someone bring water and throw it on her.

[Joking is a way to cope with this awful cursed object, isn't it?]

[tadaishi]

I think that'll just make her angry.

[Assuming she is possessed...or just some sort of living doll. Whatever, we're erring on the side of caution here.]

I've heard salt is used to keep away or purify evil spirits. Maybe if we pile salt around her, she'll stay in one place.

[lusito]

[... what would happen if we tried to get a picture of Tina here with our cellphone...]

[keyofimagination]

[Well... she's not going to stop Joshua.]

Make sure you get my good side.

[lusito]

Of course. Nothing but the best for our guest of honor, right?

[audentiae]

[ AH. ]

Of course she won't.

[hallotween]

[JEEZ TINA THANKS HERE SHE WAS DEFENDING YOUR ASS AND NOW YOU'VE MADE HER LOOK LIKE A FUCKING CHUMP]

... I mean, as long as nobody goes on stairs, we should be okay.

[forgottenfounder]

[Oswald appears to have a headache through this whole announcement, rubbing his temples by the end of the talk.]

You're kidding me... a doll? You'd think someone should really teach her some manners.

[sneezelikeakitten]

I wouldn't discount dolls... Possessed items are not to be taken lightly.

[Seriously. They're not fun items to fight.]

[forgottenfounder]

I mean... I'm not saying it couldn't be bad! Just...

[uuugh]

[stenchus_rodentus]

[

What the fuck.]

[anasty]

[

Same tbh. ]

[anasty]

[ She's already seen a few constructs, but it's a little Weird when they aren't hers. Sally is much more likable, she thinks.

Ursula scoffs nonetheless, refusing to look outright unnerved. ]

And if "Talky Tina" isn't happy, her master will do something nasty to us? Is that what we're to understand?

[keyofimagination]

[Talky Tina suddenly turns her head towards Ursula.]

It's not him you need to worry about.
