WEEK 1

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Now that we've got that out of the way, it seems the participants are free to explore the manor at their leisure. The entire first floor is available to them at all times, and any attempts to maneuver outside or to a different floor will prove useless. Seems you're going to get very familiar with this area over the next week or so.

There may be something there that wasn't there before, namely, a set of rules posted next to the bios. Take heed of them, mortals. If you wish to have a private conversation with your Host, it's now entirely possible.

With all that in mind, exploring sounds like a good idea. Proceed with caution, mortals. There are no safety bars to be lowered here.]

[MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY]

{ooc: This is the last mod post of the week - we'll have the new week log up for you on Sunday! Feel free to drop your coins into the slot machine if you've earned them. Just remember that this first week is a peace week, meaning that there will be no murder! Enjoy the quiet while it lasts, kids.}

Comments

[folkscallmewander]

The ones over in the foyer. By those pictures of us with the buttons.

[toogoodforhim]

Oh, I- ...found those earlier.

Did you push the buttons?

[Sure. This might as well happen.]

[folkscallmewander]

Yeah! If you press the right ones together, you get some real interestin' music outta them!

[toogoodforhim]

So they... all play "music"?

[that one that came out of his portrait wasn't no kind of music he'd ever heard]

[folkscallmewander]

All kinds of music! I mean, I'm partial to my own playin', but everyone's sounded so unique!

[Just like everyone is unique!]

Have you listened to all of them yet?

[toogoodforhim]

Uh, no, I haven't yet.

[He's still not sure he wants to, he's half-traumatized by Rag'n'Bone Man]

Uh, sorry if this is rude, but... What are you?

[folkscallmewander]

Don't be sorry. I'm an intergalactic traveler, wanderer of galaxies. That's why folks call me Wander!

[You aren't answering his question.]

I'm guessin' you're a human, meanin' you're from Earth, too?

[toogoodforhim]

Uh, from France, actually.

[folkscallmewander]

France. [Not Earth. There are humans on other planets.]

So. Lefou. [He plops into a sitting position.] I don't think we've met yet, but your bio said that you used to help out the town hero? What was it like, working for an actual, real, hero?

[A hero that wasn't a jerk and treated women with respect, Brad.]

[toogoodforhim]

[...I. Yeah okay.

Lefou takes a great interest suddenly in the floor, wincing a little.]

It was- I used to think it was great.

So you read that, uh, "bio," too?

[folkscallmewander]

[Wander does not even notice the wince.]

Uh-huh. Somethin' happened to him, but I think you'll be just fine strikin' it out on your own! [Wander you just met him why do you believe that.] It might seem scary at first, but findin' yourself is a rewardin' adventure in of itself!

[toogoodforhim]

[Hah... hahahhhh.......]

Yeah, I'm still working on that part. I'm just trying to do the right thing.

[folkscallmewander]

Just remember that when you follow the right path, you always end up in the right place! We believe in you Lefou!

[ARE YOU SUFFICIENTLY CHEERED ON?]

[toogoodforhim]

[He smiles, although it's not completely unlike the way a dog bares its teeth in a "grin" when it doesn't know what to do to get left alone or change the subject.]

Thanks, uh, Wander? It was Wander, right?

[folkscallmewander]

Uh-huh. The one who's best buddies with Sylvia. She's honestly the best. You know that she once fought off an army of Watchdogs just seconds after wakin' up from a nap? If anyone can break open one final gate to get us outta here, it's her.

[Wander please stop talking.]

[toogoodforhim]

A whole army? By herself?

[You're a hell of a hype man]

[folkscallmewander]

[He answers with an excited nod and a giant grin.]

[toogoodforhim]

That's- pretty impressive. Remind me not to mess with her.

[folkscallmewander]

Aw, you don't have to worry 'bout ol' Sylvia. She's one of the nicest, warmhearted-est, and loyal friends you could ever ask for. She's here to protect, not to pick a fight!

[She's kinda always down to fight, but that's why Wander is here with her.]
