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!}

Announcement

[keyofimagination]

Everyone go to the library as soon as possible. I need to discuss something with everyone.

[The Narrator is already the library, looking unusually serious.]

I’ve come to the realization that there’s a man who’s been speaking to some of you in your dreams. Someone who claims to be helping everyone and “only has the best interest in you” [He fingersquotes to emphasize his point.] and refers to himself as “Walt”.

That man is lying to you, and if you know what’s good for you, I would ignore him at all costs. Walt is a highly dangerous man. He knows exactly what to say to get you on his side, but don’t listen to a single word that comes out of his mouth. He is a snake who will backstab you the moment he gets what he wants, and I dread to think what he has in store for all of us.

I am well aware that most of you don’t trust me, but please believe me when I say he’s not someone you want to interact with. I am all too aware of the man he really is.

[He is going to stick around after the announcement, but he seems unusually upset today.]

[greatwidesomewhere]

[Having a visitor in her dreams is strange enough, but when the Narrator brings it up the very next day to all of them? It's eerie. Belle's expression is caught somewhere between determined and unsure.]

It seems to me that you're both equally as untrustworthy, then. Considering you had someone killed for scratching at the walls.

[keyofimagination]

[There is a pause before he responds to that.]

... You really thought I was the one who wanted to enforce the rules in such a way, then.

[greatwidesomewhere]

You didn't seem upset about it. Considering we haven't seen hide nor hair of your 'employer,' I think it's a fair assumption.

[hallotween]

Has Walt killed anybody yet? If he hasn't, he's already way more trustworthy than you.

[keyofimagination]

[He doesn't respond to the question, but he will gladly respond to the accusation.]

I've never killed anyone.

[hallotween]

Oh, yeah, that chandelier just happened to fall when it did! You weren't involved at all!

[darnsitall]

If he can invade our dreams it might be a little hard to avoid him, don't you think?

[keyofimagination]

Perhaps, but he can't force you do to anything in the dreamscape. If you just refuse to listen he might give up.

[darnsitall]

...Can you go into our dreams?

[DREAM FIGHT DREAM FIGHT]

[higitusfigitusmigitusmum]

Hmph.

[Merlin just seems as grumpy as usual.]

[tadaishi]

How do you know he's been showing up in our dreams?

[He's speaking for anyone that isn't him; his dreams have been Walt-free.]

[keyofimagination]

Walt may think he's clever, but he's vastly underestimated my own abilities.

[tadaishi]

So is this 'Walt' a rival of your employer, or just bad news?

[He doesn't trust either one yet. Though he trusts the Narrator vastly more than Talky Tina.]

[coulombslaw]

If you want us to believe you you'll have to give more info than just that. Who is this Walt guy and what does he really want?

[Because yeah, Virgil would rather take his chances with the man the Narrator is so upset about]

[keyofimagination]

Walt is a powerful being, more powerful than even myself. But I can't say for certain what he wants. I suppose it has something to do with why everyone's here.

[coulombslaw]

If he's so powerful what's stopping him from doing whatever he wants here, instead of having to talk through dreams or whatever?

[theduck]

How exactly do you know this guy? What’s he done that makes him so bad?

[Rod is bad (and intimidating) enough in Donald’s eyes, he doesn’t even want to think about someone that even Rod considers dangerous.]

[keyofimagination]

We knew each other a long time ago. That's all I can say about our relationship.

[forgottenfounder]

[Oswald listens to this announcement, tapping his foot against the floor, which only gets faster and louder as Rod continues to speak. It goes from light tapping to full-on Thumper impression, before Oswald finally decides to speak.]

A "backstabbing snake" sure is a great way to talk about my father, mister Narrator.

[darnsitall]

[PLOT TWIST]

[keyofimagination]

Oswald, you have no idea what this man has done. I wouldn't be saying this if I wasn't certain of what he's capable of.

[coulombslaw]

[Virgil makes a mental note: wait for a big rabbit to appear in his dreams.

Got it]

[lusito]

Really? Well now I'm just disappointed that this mystery man didn't pay me a visit.

[Josh don't be jelly]

[darnsitall]

You didn't either? Oooh, I wonder what we have to do to meet him!
