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]

Because you're not useless!

[hallotween]

Name one thing I've actually managed to do besides lock everybody in a room and indirectly kill three people. Just one.

[nocasetoobig]

You...made me clothing.

[hallotween]

[she's quiet for a short while, just staring at him. thinking about it.]

... I guess I did do that. [she's not really sure what to say about it.] It's kinda nice, when we match. It's like those dolls you can buy special outfits to match with.

[nocasetoobig]

...I guess.

[He's quiet for a moment...and then takes a breath]

Maybe it's different in Mousedon, or wherever Ratigan's from. Or where Donald is. But it's...it's really hard for people like me to find clothing, where I'm from. [He looks up, pulling off his hat] I only have this because it shrunk in a wash bucket, and this? [He tugs at his coat] Action figure, when Dale and I were stuck in a toy store. Sometimes we find other things, like costumes or disguises, sometimes we make them, but you guys-!

[He gestures at her. All of her.]

You humans have the means to really...look however you want! And be whatever you want. It's not like there's a lot of competition to be a Rescue Ranger, Marnie. [Chip makes a little wry smile] I mean, there's a few other groups, but most animals are just happy to...well, be animals!

And...there's nothing wrong with that! Don't get me wrong. People can be how they want to be, no matter what species they are! But...they're still stuck by species, sometimes. And some species...have a hard time seeing other species as anything but animals.

[Eg; humans. To chipmunks.]

So when people here started treating me...well, like people, I really didn't expect it! And when everybody got so confused as to why I wore the same things all the time...well, that's normal to me! And then you and Thalia helped me find other things, and I...I don't really know where I'm going with this. [Maybe he should shut up.]

[hallotween]

[she listens to the monologue, and slightly grins at the end.] No, I think I get you.

... Despite everything that's happened already, and whatever is gonna happen next, I'm really, really glad I met you. I just wish meeting new and interesting people didn't always have to mean someone dies.

[nocasetoobig]

...I'm glad I met you too, Marnie. [does he want to know what she means by 'always', though...] And everyone else. You guys...well, most of you guys are great.

[hallotween]

[her first almost-kiss directly followed a man exploding into light.]

It's good to have moments like this. Before it all starts up again and we're at each other's throats.
