OUR TOUR BEGINS HERE.

[Eventually, no matter your reading comprehension or your sense of time, you all find your way to the stretching room. Once everyone has gathered, the ominous sounds of a clock ring throughout the chamber. The clock strikes 13 times, and the candles in the room light themselves up on their own.

Something...or someone is in the room with you. They make themselves known quickly, with a deep voice that echoes throughout the room.]


When hinges creak in doorless chambers, and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls; Whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still - that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight!

Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion. I am your host, your... ghost host. Kindly step all the way in please and make room for everyone. There's no turning back now.

[The doors close behind everyone as he speaks, leaving the group stuck in the room until he finishes talking.]

Normally, we spirits don't open our manor up to temporary guests. But desperate times have forced me to extend visitations beyond our usual tours, and residency has been extended to your select group. You shall remain here permanently, unless...

Well.

[...his tone goes slightly darker for a second, with a hint of reluctance. The candlelight dims for just a moment.]

If you end the life of one of your fellow guests without being discovered, you shall be allowed to leave.

[It takes a moment, but the lights return to their normal brightness, and his tone becomes chipper once more.]

Of course, you're more than welcome to stay in the manor as long as you like! Our spirits haven't spent time with the living for a while, so they'll be excited for the change of pace.

...well, a lot of the people were a problem during the Boov invasion as well. It seems a lot of people were just waiting for an alien invasion as an excuse to go wild. [Some of it wasn't that bad. Some of it...she's glad she had a fairly sturdy car to go around in.]

Yeeah, people do kinda lean toward rioting, huh? [He can't even grasp the idea of a real alien invasion, but an excuse for people to panic and do whatever? Yeah, been there.] But so far, looks like we're all pretty dang rational folks. . .and aliens and lions and uh, that bug guy and robot. I think if someone were gonna go nuts it would've happened already.

[personal profile] pardonmylanguage 2017-06-19 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, she supposes that even if the lion and the wild man can be reasonable about this, they should be pretty safe.] Yeah, that makes sense. And I guess some of them might be useful in trying to find a way out.
aboyandhiscar: (time for a ride)

[personal profile] aboyandhiscar 2017-06-19 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Right! When it comes down to it, like it or not, we're all a team here. It's gonna take all of us to figure out how to get the heck out of here. And we'll do it too, Casper's got nothing on us.
pardonmylanguage: (smile)

[He manages to get an actual smile! Mostly for the reference combined with the optimism.] There are worse people to be in a team with, I guess. [She could name some from back home.] And really, what can he do?
aboyandhiscar: (hello hi i love you)

[personal profile] aboyandhiscar 2017-06-19 11:41 am (UTC)(link)
Rattle some chains and open some cabinets at night to keep us awake? Suuuper spooky, but harmless.

...honestly I could probably sleep through that anyways. [Considering the kind of places she stayed during the Boov invasion...]
aboyandhiscar: (shiba inu puppies!!!)

[personal profile] aboyandhiscar 2017-06-20 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Heh! You're a better sleeper than me. But see, he can't even get to you that way, you're fine.
pardonmylanguage: (whatever)

[personal profile] pardonmylanguage 2017-06-20 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[A small shrug.] I've gotten used to a lot more weird things than I ever thought I would.
aboyandhiscar: (heeeey you)

[personal profile] aboyandhiscar 2017-06-20 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
. . .a great thing for here, a bad thing in general! Hopefully after this, your life slows the heck down, missy. [seriously lets let the kids catch a break.]
pardonmylanguage: (whatever)

[personal profile] pardonmylanguage 2017-06-20 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[A slight shrug.] I thought it was going to, then I woke up here.
aboyandhiscar: (bow wow)

[personal profile] aboyandhiscar 2017-06-20 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
. . .

[jeeze this poor kid. Mike grins.]

Well, tell you what. For as long as we're stuck in spooksville, we'll try to make it as normal as possible! . . .which is a stretch given, well. Everything, but hey, nothing wrong with trying, right?

[personal profile] pardonmylanguage 2017-06-20 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
...I guess we can try our best. Maybe figure out what's up with this place.
