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!}

MOTIVE: It's a Good Life

[keyofimagination]

[Like last time, The Narrator has a box of named envelopes.]

Good day everyone. Unlike last week’s motive, if the conditions are met, instead of losing something dear to you, you will gain something that you desperately want or need in life. It doesn’t matter if it’s a physical desire or an emotional desire, if you kill someone this week and get away with it, we can grant it.

And luckily for you, only one person has to die this week.

[The Narrator disappears again. Inside each envelope is a message detailing your character's deepest desire.





However, on the back of each card something else written down.]

Please meet me in the chapel at 2 PM. I have something very important to tell you.

I ask that you don’t verbally discuss this until the meeting starts. If you are worried, check the backs of each other motive cards. They all have this message on it.

[Huh, what's that about?]

[tadaishi]

[Like on Wednesday, Tadashi is in the kitchen making breakfast. It's a smaller affair than last week, though, because he's not trusting himself with the knives anymore and it's sort of awkward to use one with a bandaged hand besides.

Later on, he wanders upstairs to check out the new rooms. Though he makes note of what's in all of them, he's most interested in two of them.]

The music room is less interesting and more...oddly nostalgic. Also dusty. Someone should get on that, or else the instruments will start to fall apart. And the piano...he feels the edge of it, as if searching for something.]

No teeth.

[Huh?]

In the gym, he can be found practicing kata. Care to interrupt or watch? He won't mind.]

[darnsitall]

[On Sunday everyone will find another invitation slipped under their door.

Please stop by my room sometime today so I can take your measurements!

-Sally

Now, what is she up to? In Room 210, she's ready and waiting with measuring tape. There's a pile of clothes from the coat closet haphazardly tossed onto her bed, and what appears to be a folded letter on the nightstand. Her closet door is slightly askew, just enough for anyone to see the photo of Jack and the candles around it.]

[lusito]

[knock knock]

I got your message: what would you like our measurements for, if you don't mind my asking?

music room

[lusito]

... I should certainly hope not. That would make playing it rather difficult.

[darnsitall]

[She puts a finger to her lips and gives him a mischievous smile.]

It's a secret!

[lusito]

Oh? ... I don't suppose it would have anything to do with a certain holiday coming up soon, would it?

[darnsitall]

Now what in the world would give you that idea?

room 210

[hallotween]

[-- you know she was. excited for whatever this was gonna be. but that closet tho.]

... So. That's. Cool.

[darnsitall]

That's my friend, Jack! Isn't he handsome?

[What, you don't build stalker shrines to your crushes?]

[hallotween]

He's definitely a skeleton! [she can barely decide humans are cute how the fuck]

So, uh, what was the note about? What are you up to?

Re: music room

[tadaishi]

Not on the keys. Here.

[He indicates the edge where the lid meets the body of the piano.]

What brings you here?

[darnsitall]

I need to have everyone's exact measurements for a special surprise.

[Wink, wink.]

[lusito]

Just a hunch.

[Joshua then takes note of the stalker shrine closet...]

Is that a friend of yours?

[lusito]

You mean aside from overhearing your strange murmurings about the piano not having teeth? I'm exploring and seeing what new things we have access to now.

[Still, Joshua comes closer as he inspects the keys, before reaching out to tap one of them in interest, listening for a moment before trying other keys.]

... Hmm. Could use some cleaning, but it doesn't sound like there's any broken wires inside.

[nocasetoobig]

Hey, Sally.

[guess who's here. dressed like lara croft no less He seems a little subdued, but...alert, at least. No hangover here!]

[darnsitall]

[Sally meanwhile is more enthusiastic than ever. It's a complete turnaround from how she looked at the afterparty.]

Hello, Chip! I'm so glad you could come.

[nocasetoobig]

[better than him, he didn't even make an appearance]

Well, you asked. [he manages a smile] So what're we measuring?

[darnsitall]

[lbr she absolutely left it open on purpose in hopes someone would give her an excuse to gush.]

That's Jack, my dearest friend. I was so lucky that the Narrator gave me a picture of him!

[tadaishi]

[In his defense, he was the only one in the room when he was thinking aloud, and so it wasn't as weird.]

That seems to be the theme of the place: extremely dusty, but not broken. You know how to play a piano?
