foolishmortals | Forget all your troubles

[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?]

Yeah! I was just looking for my friends, Chase and Nico! They were kidnapped too, but nobody believed me, because no one ever believes kids! And now, the kidnappers got me too!

Your friends? [ Time to kneel a little, so she's not looking down at Molly so much. ...She doesn't need to kneel a whole lot though because hello 5'2" ] Well, I believe you. I'll help you look for them, okay?

Thanks! That's really nice of you. Nico's a goth, so she's hard to miss. And Chase is a tall boy with long hair, it looks like it'd be nice to braid, but he doesn't let you. Oh, and-- have you seen a Deinonychus? She's my friend too.

[ She's following, and then. ]

A...deino...what? Are you asking about a dinosaur?

[ At least she recognizes the kind of word. She did some reading up, in the early dino days. ]
