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 that an insult? It sounds like an insult.]

I dunno what the hell an Ewok is but you still haven't, lady.

Ain't a thing in the galaxy like me but me, got it?

[hasit]

...Sure, sure thing. Sorry about that.

[She's...still pretty certain he must at least be related to the Ewok, but she's not going to push the issue.]

What planet do you come from, if not Endor?

[tanukey]

[Halfworld, his bio says, but like hell he's talking about those asshole scientists if he doesn't have to.]

All over. A guy with my kind of skills is in high demand in a lotta places.

[hasit]

[She'll have to investigate his bio a little more thoroughly later on. For now, she merely raises her brows at him.]

That's not the first time I've heard that one. What do you do?

[tanukey]

Bounty hunting, item acquisition or recovery, guard duty, whatever people need... Blowin' up crap people can't or won't blow up themselves, mostly.

[Mercenary work, essentially.]

The Guardians of the Galaxy, you've probably heard of us.

[hasit]

You're a jack of all trades, then.

[HE'S LIKE A TINY FURRY HAN....]

Hmm...no, that's not ringing any bells. Sounds important.

[tanukey]

[Don't be ridiculous, if he were Furry Han his best friends would be a blond guy with an asshole dad and a big tough guy most people can't understand.]

Seriously?

[His ego, it is wounded.]

Stopped Ronan the Accuser, saved billions of people on Xandar and basically the entire rest of the galaxy?

[hasit]

[Leia gives him a shrug, and an apologetic look.]

Do keep in mind that it's likely we come from different galaxies entirely.

[tanukey]

Well shit.

[Sounds kinda fake but etc etc.]

So I'm guessin' you're pretty important, if someone's willin' to go to another galaxy entirely to grab you.

[hasit]

[That gets a smile out of her.]

A Resistance leader is kind of a catch, if you're in the kidnapping business.

[tanukey]

Sounds pretty important, yeah. ...Resistance against what, exactly?

[hasit]

[Just her son and an entire army of evildoers it's fine.]

A great and terrible movement. One that threatens the very freedom of the Galaxy.
