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?]

Is the shouting really necessary? Nobody can hear you! [well except her she can hear you real fucking good]

[doopdoll]

That's what you're supposed to do when you're in trouble. Except, you're right a little- I should have yelled Fire! instead of Help! People always come when you yell fire, and not so much when you yell help--- Except for you. You came.

[faciliheir]

I'm not here to help you. [... someone who would yell fire in a public place sounds like a bad person tho she must consider this.] You're helping me, though-- helping to give me a migraine.

[doopdoll]

I hear that a lot, thanks! [Does she know what a migraine is? She's acting like it's a good thing.]

Did you get kidnapped too, or are you our kidnapper? [She's a little young-- but hey, Molly knows not to underestimate people because of their age.]

[faciliheir]

I bet you do, chère.

Fellow captive, right here. If I was going to kidnap a whole bunch of people, it wouldn't be like this.

[doopdoll]

Yeah, this place sucks already. I'm sure you'd do a better job.

[faciliheir]

I would've kidnapped a lot more important people, for starters. And I would've revealed myself already, with a very dramatic entrance. If you don't tell the good guys why you've done something in the first five minutes of meeting them, what sort of villain are you?
