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]

{ooc: Don't forget to fill in this week's Activity Check! The deadline is 11/01 @ 1 PM EST!}

. . .

I have no idea who you are.

[candlelightsflicker]

Aw, c'mon, of course you do!

[He gives Rod a sly, knowing grin before handing him a hershey bar.]

For you, Rod, a Hershey Bar!

[keyofimagination]

[He raises an eyebrow as he tentatively takes the chocolate bar.}

Thanks?

[He guesses?]

[candlelightsflicker]

Go on, Rod! Eat the chocolate bar! I just wanna cheer you up!

[keyofimagination]

As much as I appreciate this... gift, I'm afraid I'm unable to eat-

[keyofimagination]

[And then, suddenly, Rod looks up at... something in the corner of the room.]

Can I help you?

[But if anyone else looks in the direction of where Rod is looking, they'll find absolutely nothing.]

[greatwidesomewhere]

[what the shit rod]

[keyofimagination]

[No it's fine, Rod's just talking as if someone's there, including pauses for someone to respond]

It... it is Tuesday. I already gave out the motive if that's what you're here for.

[greatwidesomewhere]

...Who in God's name are you talking to?

[keyofimagination]

[He doesn't respond to Belle, instead his expression going from shock to anger.]

How did...? I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about... What does that have to do with anything? ... What? What are you...? If you dare lay a finger on him, I swear...

[greatwidesomewhere]

[Okay she doesn't even like this guy, but...]

...Monsieur Rod? What is going on, please?

[nocasetoobig]

[fuck that. He turns to Satan, bristling, and still clinging tightly to the cross]

What'd you do to him!?

[candlelightsflicker]

I didn’t do nuthin!

[nocasetoobig]

Well, who's he talking to!?

[candlelightsflicker]

I dunno!

[He can’t help but snicker.]

[keyofimagination]

[He doesn't even acknowledge Belle, like whatever is going on is too distracting to pull away from.]

I... I'll stop you... What do you want from me? If this is your attempt to intimidate me... Thanks, but I already have enough of that daily. You can leave now.

...What consequences?

[greatwidesomewhere]

[YEAH KYLO

Belle's listening, rapt and vaguely terrified by the one-sided exchange.]

[keyofimagination]

[Rod's expression is slowly growing more and more terrified as he continues.]

What? You're joking, you can't... Were you ever going to fulfill your end of the bargain?

I... It's not tacky...

[hallotween]

I bet it's really tacky.

[nocasetoobig]

[he's busy looking for a cross or something but he's casting a glance in that direction just in case]

[keyofimagination]

[Well he sure is speaking like someone else is there, in any case.]

It's only natural for them to be upset by the motive. Just because it's routine doesn't mean they're enjoying the situation they're in.

[nocasetoobig]

[MAYBE IT'S FUCKING MAGIC. Now that he has a cross, Chip is just gonna run over and step between Rod and whatever he's talking to and hold the thing up

...

He feels like an idiot.]

[keyofimagination]

[If it does anything, it's not enough for Rod to stop talking.]

I'm doing the best I can about the situation. I'm sorry that they're not stuck in the depths of despair with no hope of getting out... You clearly haven't been paying any attention if believe that. The guests don't trust me so I have no reason to care for any of them.

[nocasetoobig]

...I guess Marnie's right. [Just. Lets it hit the floor.]

[keyofimagination]

[Rip Chip.]

You are not allowed to come into my hotel and suddenly act like you run this place! I won't allow it!
