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]

[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.]

[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.]

[...well alright!]

Yeah. Thanks.

[keyofimagination]

[He somehow manages to look mildly annoyed by that reaction.]

[coulombslaw]

[Sorry Virgil isn't enamored of you, buddy]

So...this supposed to be a secret?

[keyofimagination]

[His annoyance quickly turns into barely contained rage.]

[coulombslaw]

Calm down, man! All I ask is if we should tell the others!

[keyofimagination]

[Okay that gets him to calm down a little, having realized that it wasn't a dig at his secrecy.]

[coulombslaw]

If we tell the others she's going to find out too. Doubt she'll bother to visit, but that's just because she's stubborn.

[Not that there's something wrong about being stubborn, Virgil likes Marnie]

You know about the new guy? He's having a hard time.

[John, he means]

[It's more that she's even worse with the insults than Belle was and it feels wrong to fight back against a child like that.]

[coulombslaw]

Right...I see. [John looked so uncomfortable during the trial, yeah] Got anything to tell him?

[tadaishi]

Maybe keeping this a secret would be a better idea...

[coulombslaw]

I guess you're right. If someone bothered to make this guy disappear, we don't want them to know he's still around.

[tadaishi]

Exactly. Someone wants him gone and we weren't meant to find him in the first place.

[tadaishi]

[Welp. This is a thing.]

Are you... [He can't be okay, glitching like that, but...]

Do you need any help?

[keyofimagination]

[Oh thank god someone with sense. He is quiet for a moment as he thinks over that question.]

[tadaishi]

Fair enough. We could try, if you think of something.

[coulombslaw]

No way.

[This will have to be mentioned to the rest]
