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!}

...Right. How do we get them out of here?

[hallotween]

I think only Rod could do that!

[hellosalem]

That monochrome moron of yours typically does that for you.

[greatwidesomewhere]

[well fuck]

He...he's gone.

[hellosalem]

...HAHAHA! YES, SISTERS! FINALLY, WE SHALL MAKE OUR ESCAPE FROM THIS HOTEL PRISON!

MARY, FETCH ME THE BOOK!

[hellosalem]

...Um, I think you left the book back in that...eyeball-door-wasteland, Winnie. The man with the broken glasses took it.

[hellosalem]

WHAT?!

[hallotween]

[hm]

You know [casually] we have a kinda magic book you could try, if you want.

[hellosalem]

...Please, do make yourself useful and tell me of this boooooook, dear child.

[hallotween]

Well, it belonged to one of our friends, and it has a lot of really interesting information in it. I bet it has a lot of power.

[shrugs helplessly] I'm not really sure where it is right now, though!

[geomanctic]

Why are you offering them that?!

[hallotween]

[harsh whisper] Reasons! Do it!

[Giving her the most INTENSE AND STERN LOOK]

[2/2]

[geomanctic]

[You know what? Fuck it. Cornelia turns and leaves the room, then comes back a few minutes later, out of breath, like she ran the whole way from her room and back. She's also holding Dipper's journal in her hands.]

One magic book. [Here, Marnie, you do the honors.]

[hallotween]

I owe you one, okay? [slight smile

then, she turns to Winnie.] Here! Try it out.

1/2

[hellosalem]

Oooooooh.

[Winnie is just casually...tabbing through this book, eyes widening and smirk growing.]

"DO NOT SUMMON AT ALL COSTS!" That does mean that we should summon this...triangle man, shouldn't we, sisters?

[hellosalem]

[Mary casually tiptoes next to Winnie, looking over her shoulders.]

No, Winnie. No, no, no. I've heard things about him, Winnie. Terrible things. Terrible things he did that one group of nice rock people.

[hellosalem]

...Oh, very well. Fine. Perhaps we should summon something else instead.

[hallotween]

You guys do whatever you feel is best!

[hellosalem]

Well, child, the issue with this booooook is that it features very little in the way of summoning instructions, nor does it feature very much in the way of magical spells.

All it seems to contain is amusing anecdotes about cryptids. "Dream hipster"? It's as though this book was written for 10-year-olds!

[hallotween]

By a ten year old.

There has to be something you can find useful. Or maybe something else we can all help with! I'm sure everybody wants to be as helpful as we can!

[STARES POINTEDLY AT EVERYONE ELSE]

[coulombslaw]

Do we really have to summon something else now?

[ISN'T THIS HOTEL FULL ENOUGH OF WEIRD PEOPLE, MARNIE?]

[hellosalem]

Well, that would explain the lengthy section on unicorns.

Unless you suppose that summoning a spirit would help you, I'm afraid that this book is nothing but garbage!

[The raven who was perched up there watching this lets out a loud caw.]

[darnsitall]

[Sally has just been off to the side grinning.]

Are there any instructions on raising the dead?

[greatwidesomewhere]

Yes, I think giving them anything that belonged to our friends is a terrible idea.
