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!}

[...SALLY...]

He's...you're not going to find him.

[darnsitall]

[:)]

Oh, so someone did move him after all! Do you know where he went?

MODS

[nocasetoobig]

He's...

[You know what. He sighs, and looks up]

Hey, Mister Narrator? What do you do with- you know?

[keyofimagination]

[The Narrator appears suddenly (please don't throw anything at him).]

You're referring to Finnick, I'm assuming.

[nocasetoobig]

[He's not even in a position to fall over, this time!]

Mhm. And Vanellope, while we're at it.

[keyofimagination]

My employer handles all of it, but it's safe to say that they're not here anymore.

[darnsitall]

Where did they go?

[nocasetoobig]

I don't think he's going to tell us.

[keyofimagination]

You know me too well.

But yes, that's for me and my employer to know.

[darnsitall]

[Pout!]

If I had known that, I would've patched him up sooner! Poor little guy's legs were bending in all the wrong directions!

[keyofimagination]

[. . .]

Sally, there was nothing you could have done about Finnick. He was long gone the moment the chandelier fell.

[nocasetoobig]

Yeah. He was...

[how would he even. Chip frowns, trying to actually help the Narrator make Sally understand.]

...broken, Sally, and you couldn't fix him. That's what happens to us.

[darnsitall]

I could have sewn his legs back on for him! Dying doesn't mean your life is over, for goodness sake.

[SALLY...]

[nocasetoobig]

Maybe not for you, but for the rest of us, it does.

[darnsitall]

[Everyone keeps telling her that, but...]

That just doesn't make any sense!

1/3

[nocasetoobig]

Nothing about this place makes sense!

This guy- [he gestures at the Narrator, if he's still there] can appear out of thin air, it's been raining nonstop for two weeks, you and Oswald can take off limbs and Ursula's a giant squidlady, and we shouldn't even be here in the first place! Nobody knows how we got here, we keep finding weird things in that stupid penny press, and now you think you can just- find Finnick's pieces and put him back together!

2/3

[nocasetoobig]

He's dead, Sally, and even if you did find his pieces and do it, he'd- he'd still be dead, he'd just be a body and-

3/4

[nocasetoobig]

...and...

4/4 done

[nocasetoobig]

[...he's gonna need a minute, he's shaking with something and his fists are balled up but whatever he wants to say seems to be stuck in his throat]

[keyofimagination]

[Lbr, The Narrator can't blame this outburst at all.]

[darnsitall]

[It's entirely likely that she still doesn't Get It, but she's going to kneel down so she can pat him gently on the head.]

[nocasetoobig]

[He startles a little, but relaxes after another moment, letting out a heavy breath as he looks down towards the ground and lets her pat him.]

...and I guess people don't die where you're from, but for the rest of us, it means we're not coming back.

[darnsitall]

I don't.

I don't want that to be true.

[She can't even wrap her head around it. Dying means you're gone forever? It's not possible!]

If it works for me, and everyone in Halloween Town, there must be some way.

[nocasetoobig]

[And now he looks back up, looking tired.]

Well, we're not from Halloween Town.

[darnsitall]

Maybe you don't have to be. There's lots of us here with special powers. And magic! I've seen magic do amazing things. Maybe it won't work just like it does in Halloween Town, but it might still work!

I just need to find a way!
