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?]

[Right, yes. Back to business.

He looks over at the wax figures. They're kind of uncanny but it'd take more to spook him.]


Perhaps, their clothes...

[Stripping wax figures is kind of improper, though. Besides, he's not sure if they're even made of fabric.]

[Mr. Arrow might have morals, but when it comes to stealing human things Ariel sure doesn't! She let's go of his hand to look through the different figures. The likeness is a little creepy... but that feeling passes as she spot a pretty dress. She grins back at him before she starts to unbutton it.]
sharpasanarrow: (anytime)

Miss, I'm not so sure we should be doing that-

[But, you know, she looks so happy. And she really needs practical clothing. Perhaps if he just turns a blind eye to the theft it's not such a problem.]
notasingleword: (Look)

[When she has the dress off, she looks over it carefully to figure out how to get it on but... it's a little complicated to her. She thinks back to the painting in her room of the woman.

Ariel walks back over to Mr. Arrow and points back to the hall. She can figure it out in her room.]
sharpasanarrow: (anytime)

[personal profile] sharpasanarrow 2018-01-07 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. Excellent choice.

[He offers her his wing again to escort her safely back to her room.

He hopes no one will recognize the dress.]
notasingleword: (Nervous)

[Ariel smiles and takes his hand to follow. Of course she's silent on the way back, and give him one last grin before heading into the room. It takes an oddly long time for her to change which the sounds of a ruckus inside. She's really struggling with human clothing!

Finally she comes out, smoothing out the dress. It's a really nice fit, though she did have to give her seashells. ]

[He gets a little concerned by the noises inside, but its probably best not to intrude.

When she comes out, he gives her a quick look over and then a small nod.]


Much better. Much safer.
notasingleword: (Singing)

[personal profile] notasingleword 2018-01-08 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Ariel nods in agreement. It's nice not having to hold up the sheet anymore, and she looks even more human now! She can't say thank you with words, but she does lean down and give him a small kiss on the top of his head.]
sharpasanarrow: (I will wipe you the fuck out with precis)

[He lowers his head, a little embarrassed with the familiarity.

He adjusts his hat and his composure.]


Happy to help, young miss.


notasingleword: (Hee)

[She can't help but let out a silent laugh at that. Such a serious creature being so bashful...

Oh right! They had a meeting to go to. She points down the hall to try and drop the hint.]
sharpasanarrow: (and I have over 300 confirmed kills)

[personal profile] sharpasanarrow 2018-01-08 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, right you are Miss.

[He suddenly remembers about the meeting- how could he have been so careless to forget! He leads the way, waddling in front down to the portrait gallery.]
