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!}

Goodness, has no one ever told you how giving away spoilers like that can ruin one's enjoyment?

[Except, Joshua is smiling, so he's definitely not being serious about this.]

[forgottenfounder]

[eeeeyyyyy]

Hey! S'not like I've ever seen this stuff before. I'm just an old hand at stories.

[lusito]

Then I must admit, you are certainly good at it.

[sure enough, oswald is correct: burgess meredith's character accidentally breaks their glasses]

[forgottenfounder]

Oof! [He winces, comically so. It's kind of funny in an ironic way.]

I wonder if this is what the Twilight Zone is.

[lusito]

Many of the episodes are similar: a person thrust into a scenario with some type of ironic twist that affects that person in a more personal manner.

[... Or they're just straight up horrifying, like Talky Tina...]

[forgottenfounder]

....So, what's our ironic twist?

[That everyone is actually dying? Or is that the twist. Please let it be the twist.]

[lusito]

I think it's a little too early to tell just yet. Though, I'm sure that it will become clear in due time.

[forgottenfounder]

I hope so. I just don't want to have to stick around this place forever and a day to find out.

[...]

In the Twilight Zone.

[lusito]

Indeed. Speaking of which, has there been any progress in finding something noteworthy while looking into the other rooms here yet?

[forgottenfounder]

What rooms? This one and the others? As far as I know, we're all just as lost as we were a week ago. And the week before that...

[He's not saying they're in a rut. But... yeah, that's it.]

[lusito]

Well, that's disappointing. I was hoping that something would come to light after three weeks of being here...

[forgottenfounder]

I still think we haven't found the right thing to activate a secret room or exit.

[lusito]

Well, Chip and I tried removing and switching around books in the library last week or so, but I suppose expecting something like that to reveal a hidden room might be a little childish than what this building's actually capable of.

[forgottenfounder]

[...He sighs, putting his head in a hand.] Did everyone try that?

[uuugh.] And it didn't even work once.

[lusito]

Not that I'm aware of. [That said--] Regardless, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone here finds something of note.

[forgottenfounder]

...I did find a few books that looked like they were touched already, when we first got here.

[lusito]

Oh? Do you remember which books they were?

[forgottenfounder]

[He thinks about it...]

One was called "farenheit 451" I think?

[lusito]

Really? That's quite an interesting choice in literature...

[forgottenfounder]

Haven't read it myself. Sounds like quite the book.
