Final Investigation

[Wednesday morning is unusually calm for the first few hours. Maybe you woke up and had a nice breakfast to start the day, or decided to hang out in the spa to ease off some stress from the weeks, or maybe you just slept in today because frankly, you all deserve it.

Until around noon, where Rod’s distorted voice calls through the entirety of the hotel, sounding unusually panicked.]

[He is suddenly cut off. No matter how long you wait, he doesn’t speak again. But, despite his warning, nothing dangerous seems to be going on, at least on the floors you normally have access to.

However, if you’re in the lobby at the time of the announcement, you’ll realize that the door that was open yesterday when Benny arrived is once again mysteriously open, seeming to beckon you. Whether you decide to all go as a group or go down alone, you'll find yourself going down a hallway splitting into two paths. And if you decide to take one way alone you'll soon find yourself in a group of three other people, going into the unknown.

Even with the apparent threat of danger according to Rod, it seems like if you have any hope of escaping, you have no choice but to investigate the one floor you haven’t looked at yet.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[This is the part where we all slowly turn around, isn't it.]

[It's hard to describe exactly what this thing is.

It's enormous, towering over everyone here easily. It's body is insect-like, coming off as some sort of hybrid between a bug and a dragon. However, it's face and arms most definitely come off as alien. It has two wings on it's back, and a full mouth of sharp teeth. You can smell the damn thing from here, and it's hard not to spot the green drool that drips from it's mouth on the floor. Only one word comes to mind when trying to describe it:

ExtraTERRORestrial.

Try not to scream.]

[TOO LATE]

[WAY TOO LATE]

[Hey, Marnie! Ever wonder what it was like to be dinner?

It's going right for you and your good friend, Benny.]

[RUNNING LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER C'MON BITCH]

[...okay so benny's definitely slipping on all the oil down there, and fucking falls flat on his face.]

[thats very tragic but she is not stopping so]

[Ah, delicious. Christopher Walken is on the menu.

The alien literally fucking grabs his leg with his teeth, and starts tugging at it. Wanna let that go, kiddo? Benny is definitely pleading at you with his eyes, in between screams of pain, to not do that.]

[oh god she doesn't want to fucking die and this guy IS just a robot... what would ursula do.

...

what would grandma want her to do.

fuck. guess we're doing tug of war with a fucking alien demon.]

Everyone pull!

[Sally's gonna do one better: she's gonna try and beat on this thing with the baseball bat!]

[Oh, that takes it a bit offguard, actually! Congratulations, you're a priority now, Sally!

The Alien is definitely gonna lurch towards your head.]

[Not as planned.

Sally tries to swing again, but the thing knocks the bat right out of her hands. So much for that!?]

[god this is. going so badly.

to benny.] Get out of here! [and now she's going into her bag again and taking out what is really a stupid amount of kitchen knives and just.

well first she tries to shoot some magic at the alien. CASTS MAGIC MISSILE.] Get off of her!

[Another swing of its arms catches Sally, the force knocking her head clean off and sending it rolling into the shadows. Likewise, her body stumbles backwards before toppling over in a heap.

Sally is dead.]

[The Alien moves for Sally’s corpse, though stops when Marnie casts magic on it.
The alien is affected, and lets out a deafening roar in pain. As a result it instead makes a lurch for Benny.

It grabs the animatronic between its teeth, causing Benny to scream. He hits the alien, only for it to drag him into the shadows, spilling oil as it does.

You guys have a little while before it comes back. You should decide how you want to spend it.

[well right now it's looking like she's gonna spend it in catatonia so.]

Marnie, you have to run!!

[Hi guess who’s currently cowering at the far end of the hallway? He may be objectively the worst but he didn’t, like, totally leave. Just watched shit happen from a safe distance :) ]
