Forget all your troubles

[grimgrinningghosts]

[You wake up and instantly realize something is wrong.

There is a vague feeling of dread hanging in the air and, as comfortable as this bed is, there’s just something off about everything, even before you open your eyes. The dread only grows when you open your eyes and realize that you are in a completely unfamiliar room. One that has clearly seen better days at that.

As you explore your room, you will soon find a bedroom key resting on the dresser along with a note]

Welcome, esteemed guest, to our humble abode. We hope that you enjoy your stay in this Phantom Manor, as we expect you to stay with us for a very long time.

Feel free to make yourself at home as you enjoy what this manor has to offer, whether it’s the library, our projection room, or our famous wax museum. We’re sure you will find great joy

However, before you can get too comfortable, we ask you to please come to the portrait gallery at noon so we can discuss your stay here.

We eagerly await to meet you.

-Your Host

[The uncomfortable feeling doesn’t let up as you leave the safety of your bedroom. The manor seems old and decrepit, almost like it would fall over at the slightest breeze. Despite that, anyone who tries to escape will soon realize that the walls are unusually sturdy, and there are no doors that would seemingly lead to the outside world.

Still, at least you’re not alone in this scenario, if the other bedroom doors are any indications. Maybe there are a few more people coming out of their bedrooms too, so you have someone to talk toif you want to try to figure out what's going on. But if the 30 bios in the foyer hall are any indication, whoever has you here did not do this on accident. Whatever you’re here for, it seems like you’re here for a reason.

But hey, what’s the use of being pessimistic about this? Maybe it’s all an innocent situation… right?]

[who the fuck is talking to her like that where are they-- oh my badness it's on the ground what the fuck is this magical princess talking animal bullshit.]

Ha, please! You don't look like you could even spill a garbage can!

[tanukey]

[Ears back, glaring up at Freddie. This would be so much easier with a gun. Or Groot. At this point he'd take Drax.]

Good thing all I'm dealin' with is you, then.

[faciliheir]

You sure are, fuzzball.

Look, it's way too early to deal with one of Snow White's magical animal friends acting like he's about to mug me in an alley, okay? Don't you have a floofy princess dress to be decorating or something?

[tanukey]

Hey! I'm not some freakin' animal!

[That sure is a touchy nerve.]

[faciliheir]

Oh, so you were cursed to become a raccoon? [sounds tacky but she can hardly talk] So, what, did you steal from a bokor and they decided to be extra ironic?

[tanukey]

I'm not "cursed" and I am NOT a "raccoon"! Ain't a damn thing like me 'cept me, you hear?

[faciliheir]

You'd think somebody so sensitive wouldn't accost innocent people in hallways! But, here you are, threatening me and then crying foul.

[tanukey]

Aha! Exactly what a kidnapper would say to throw off suspicion!

[faciliheir]

Why would I kidnap a bunch of completely unimportant people? Most of you guys don't even sound like you have money, let alone something I'd actually want.

[tanukey]

"Unimportant," right. Like you've never heard of the Guardians.

[They're kind of a big deal. Theoretically.]

[To Rocket.]

[faciliheir]

Never. In my entire life.

[tanukey]

...the hell kind of backwater planet are you from?

[faciliheir]

The... only planet?

[tanukey]

...yeah, okay. Real funny. The "only" planet.

[faciliheir]

Yeah. The only planet. What other planets are there?
