OUR TOUR BEGINS HERE.

[yourghosthost]

[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.

[The presence of a ghost is, surprisingly, not too difficult for Mulan to believe. She literally prays to her ancestors for guidance and has a spirit dragon helping her, so this is pretty much par for the course. But what he has to say is...yeah.

After recovering from the initial shock, Mulan gives their host a look that expresses just how unhappy she is with the situation.]

It's unreasonable for you to ask that of civilians.

[To be fair, it's unreasonable to ask that of anyone. But Mulan's first instinct is to protect the people who can't protect themselves. She'll be fine, if anyone tries to kill her she will be able to hold them off. But the others, it's unfair for them.]

[yourghosthost]

I'd hardly call anyone here a civilian.

[sentadaughter]

[She's just

going to use both of her hands to gesture to WALL-E.]

[yourghosthost]

Everybody here is of some importance. In their own way. Not necessarily civilians.

[sentadaughter]

You're telling me that this tiny metal man is somehow capable of murder?

[whistlenotchirp]

...I mean, maybe if I took a wrong step or two.

[He's helping!]

[chainbroke]

But... but that would be an accident.... wouldn't it?

[ there's no murder in kingdom hearts just possession and getting your heart stolen ]

[whistlenotchirp]

Well, sure, but I do think the courts call that manslaughter.
