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?]

[Hm. Okay.]

Well, then I guess my conscience is just really, really tiny, and in my ear at all times.

[you cant even see his ears]

Hey, didja know that there are no windows in this whole entire place? None? I've looked all over and can't so much as catch a peep outside.

[haha no ears louis]

I guess they usually are. My conscience is pretty short, too.

[He holds his hands about an inch or two apart to demonstrate.]

There isn't? ...Is that weird?

[He's been in like, two buildings in his entire life.]
bayoublues: (mmmaybe)

[:^(]

Huh. It's easy for a lil' guy like that to be drowned out by all the noise. Especially since he's not here right now.

Uh...yeah? I think so. Most humans like bein' able to see outside. I think it's 'cos they don't like actually bein' outside with the wildlife.

[Trust him he's been in at least two buildings too.]

I dunno about that. He talks a lot.

[Though Pinocchio supposes he didn't always listen.]

I guess I never thought about it. Being outside is okay, but being inside is okay, too. I didn't think it mattered that much.
bayoublues: (shrug)

[personal profile] bayoublues 2018-01-07 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, apparently it matters to humans. Or, at least the fancy ones. A lotta times they'll just get a drop of mud on their shoes or their evening gowns and throw a fit. A little mud never hurt anyone, right?

[louis you dont even have clothes]
madeofpine: (022)

[personal profile] madeofpine 2018-01-07 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
...Sure?

[His experience with mud is non-existent. Besides, he doesn't really know what does and doesn't hurt humans.]
bayoublues: (ray)

....

Kid, how old are you? I mean, like, really, how long have you been walkin' around?

[Just a question, that's all.]

[He counts off on his fingers before glancing back up.]

One day.
bayoublues: (you ok)

[personal profile] bayoublues 2018-01-07 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
One day--

[Okay actually that made a lot of sense.]

Hm. You've got a lot to learn, huh, kid? I think you should do your best to stay outta trouble for now.
madeofpine: (019)

[personal profile] madeofpine 2018-01-07 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I always stay outta--

[Hmmm actually, no, lying's probably not a good idea without the Blue Fairy around to fix it.]

Um, okay. I'll try.
