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.

Ohh.....

[Not good, honestly. He just wants to find Eve and go home...]

[folkscallmewander]

[He softens his voice and keeps quiet so only the robot can hear.] Look WALL-E, I know things are lookin' dark right now, but we won't be here forever. I've been captured probably hundreds of times, but I always managed to get out with a bit of hope and reachin' out to folks. We got twenty-five people against a couple of ghosts? Even Mr. Host doesn't seem all that bad of a guy.

[It's just been hinted but Wander already sees him as a future ally.]

We just have to trust in each other, and everythin' will be alright.

[trashcubes]

[Really? WALL-E stares at Wander for a long moment before he allows his head to fully emerge again.]

Oh-kayyy?

[It's gonna be okay, right?]

[folkscallmewander]

[He nods.]

You can always stay close to me if you're feelin' scared. And there's plenty of nice folks that'll look after you if you ask.

[trashcubes]

... Oh-kayyy.

[Thanks Wander, he's glad there's good ones like you here.]
