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!}

D'you think so? [Belle considers the garment for a moment.] I suppose it is. Perfect for a girl from a tiny village...

[sentree]

I hope you mean that in a compliment kind of way, because that's certainly how I meant it.

[greatwidesomewhere]

I...sort of? It's just that this dress reminds me of a time when I thought I'd never find a way out of that tiny town. When...I had no idea how much my life was just about to change.

[sentree]

...Before you saw any of the big world, is that it? [ She nods gently. ] Did you crave adventure?

[greatwidesomewhere]

That's exactly it. [Belle's smile is soft and a little sad.] More than anything. And I found it, but in the end...that was bittersweet. And now that I'm here...

[She hadn't exactly wanted this kind of adventure.]

[sentree]

...Ah. Yeah, that's...the adventure you want is never the adventure you get, in my experience. Especially for ones who deserve something fun, like you.

[greatwidesomewhere]

You think I deserve something fun? [Belle bows her head.] I'd like to think so, too. For once it would be nice to enjoy myself without it ending in heartache.

[sentree]

[ Just tear at her heartstrings why don't ya? ]

...You're older than most girls Lady Artemis takes in, but...we get out of here, and I'll do my best to help you find that, before going back to my duties.

[greatwidesomewhere]

[Her smile is a little uncertain, because she doesn't know precisely what that means, but she can glean the meaning from Thalia's tone. She also does't miss the implied 'if' there.

She reaches over to take Thalia's hand in both of hers, giving it a quick squeeze.]

Thank you. Really. That means so much to me.

[sentree]

[ There's a lot she could talk about with Artemis. Truly, though... She gives her a smile. ]

No sweat. What are friends for?

[greatwidesomewhere]

Of course. Friends.

[Friends!

More friends who might die and leave her. Yikes.

Belle glances around, and then picks up the pink flamingo mallet.]

Do you need, er—a bird?

[sentree]

[ A bird...... Thalia chuckles. ]

No thanks. I think it might clash with the...Christmas decor I've got going.

[greatwidesomewhere]

Oh! Fair enough. You wouldn't want to disrupt such a harmonious room, would you?

[sentree]

Exactly that.
