Week 6

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Another week another set of bodies, and now, the guests aren't the only ones dying in this hotel. At this point it seems as though something is attacking the nonguests of this hotel. What's attacking them, however, no one seems to know. But surely you can all find out before more people die, right?

No new floors open up this week, but people will find on Sunday that the locked door on the first floor is now unlocked. It's a good time as any to see what's behind it.

10 guests remain]


[SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]

I just realized I misinterpreted the layout of the room, derp

[tadaishi]

[That sure is a destroyed version of the library. And all that writing on the walls...]

It's been locked every time I've tried it, until today. I wonder who did all this. That.

[Since it looks normal when the lights are off.

What if he goes to look at some of the books while the lights are off?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[They look like normal books, but before Tadashi can page through it, there's a voice that comes out of nowhere. It's heavily distorted and almost sounds like multiple people are talking over each other. It definitely doesn't sound like anyone Tadashi or Virgil has heard before.]

[coulombslaw]

[Oh, fantastic. Now there are disembodied voices]

Who's there? Show yourself!

[If you, uh, if you can]

[tadaishi]

[That's enough to make him drop the book in his hands.]

We're just looking!

[coulombslaw]

Through the door, it was open!

[If you didn't want anyone to enter you should have kept it locked, geez!]

[tadaishi]

The door was unlocked; we could just walk in.

[coulombslaw]

No idea. Every week a new place opens, so...maybe it was this library's turn.

[coulombslaw]

Next time I'm knocking before coming in, I guess...

[Whatever. This library is open, not much can be done about that]

Now what? Who are you?

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There is a long, painful pause before the voice responds.]

[coulombslaw]

[Frankly to Virgil that sounds like a way to get them to leave now. He doesn't expect the voice to tell them who they are. But...yeah, who in their right mind would stand around and demand answers from a disembodied voice?]

Well, you heard the voice, Tadashi. Let's get going before we're thrown into hell or something.

[Virgil moves to get out]

[tadaishi]

[Right behind you, buddy. He's been to Hell once, he's not ready to go back.]

Or stuck in this room. [And then quieter, to Virgil.] Think it'll actually tell us who it is?

[grimgrinningghosts]

[The door closes behind them.]

[tadaishi]

[Oops.]

Sorry...our hosts here have been on the stingy side with information...I didn't mean to assume.

[coulombslaw]

Yeah, after everything that has happened in this hotel it's hard to trust the spooky stuff.

[There is another pause as they hear this.]

[Something appears in the lobby. Something monstrous.

At first, it looks like a living glitch materialized in the room, morphing between TV static and a bunch of people neither of them would recognize. If the figure didn't sometimes turn into Rod Serling for a few seconds before glitching out again, Tadashi and Virgil would have no idea who this man is.]

[coulombslaw]

[...well alright!]

Yeah. Thanks.

[coulombslaw]

No way.

[This will have to be mentioned to the rest]

[tadaishi]

You're asking the wrong people, honestly.

[tadaishi]

I'll be happy to leave...is there a way to lock the door behind us? So other people don't wander in as well?
