Week 5

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Five deaths in one week, and almost half of the guests have died now. The Narrator is now claiming that the man who's trying to save all the guests is a cold-hearted killer, and he doesn't seem to be lying about this. But on the other hand, that doesn't explain why he continues to do any of this, or if he's even an entirely good guy here.

Whether you like it or not, tension is becoming unusually high in this hotel now.

But hey, at least you get a nice new floor to tide you over.

13 guests remain]

[SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]

THIS IS HALLOWEEN

[darnsitall]

[When everyone returns to the 2nd floor after the motive reveal, they'll find special costumes hanging on each of their doors. Sally is nowhere to be seen, but it's pretty obvious she means for everyone to get dressed.

Once everyone is in costume, Sally appears, standing at the door labelled 225, along with a spooky scarecrow. Her own costume is pretty simple so not to detract from everyone else's, though she is also wearing cat ears and a tail. When everyone's gathered, she gives them a mischievous smile and slowly opens the door.]

Boys and girls of every age, wouldn't you like to see something strange...?

[She disappears through the doorway. Following her, they'll find themselves in a disorienting maze where everything seems to glow. Streamers and balloons hang from above, forcing everyone (well, maybe not Chip and Ratigan) to push past them to proceed.

Once they escape the maze, they'll find themselves in the rest of the ballroom, which doesn't look much like a ballroom anymore. Oh, sure, there's still room for dancing, but if they look around they may spot the the shadow of the moon at night or something under the tables with teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red. Oh, and watch out for the snake. (it's not real, but still.)

And of course, what celebration would be complete without a masterful spread of treats? Everything is ready and waiting at the tables, so eat, drink*, and be scary!

*but there's no alcohol. Sorry, Ratigan.]

Oh, wow!

[EL CHIPACABRA IS IMPRESSED. And honestly, this is really inspiring. He's got a broad toothy grin, and certainly seems curious about everything. He may just keep his mood up through all of this after all!

You'll probably find him marveling over some decoration or another. Usually, he'd think this all is silly, and it is, but...they could use some silly. Right?]

[Virgil is really amused by his disguise. He dons it with enthusiasm, a bit unsure of how he's supposed to use the pumpkin head, so he decides to hold the collar of his soldier clothes high and balancing the pumpking in the empty space above his head]

Hey, check this out: I'm the Headless Horseman!

[Ever heard of it?]

[greatwidesomewhere]

[Belle's dressed in her costume, which is thankfully easy to move in and not too ridiculous. She's never worn anything like this before, but it seems like it might be a nice way to get everyone's mind off the motive, so she's happy to join in if that's what it takes. She comes into the ballroom and her eyes go wide with wonder. She's already seen what Sally can do as far as decorating, but this...]

You've outdone yourself, Sally, this is wonderful!

[She'll take a good look around, trailing floating white fabric...wandering through the maze, letting out a delighted shriek of fright every now and then as she comes across something spooky. Once she's out, she'll hang out at the treat table, snacking and chattering happily. It might be a little forced, but...she at least needs to try and keep everyone in a good mood.

[Donald's not really big on Halloween, personally, but it's nice to see something as normal as a holiday party after... y'know. Everything. So he does at least take the time to appreciate the decorations before hunting down Sally after a while.]

This is really impressive, Sally! When did you find the time to do all this?
