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?]

[ Gaston obliges. After all, he's seen stranger things today than a talking goat-thing with wings.

He leans in, ready to hear the goat's secret -

and is practically bowled off his feet by a scream right in his ear. He stumbles backwards with a look of shock, then picks himself up, glaring daggers at the thing. ]


I'll have goat stew for dinner tonight, you -

[ How do you insult a goat?? ]

Mangy - half-breed - freak!
angelgoatdemon: (a smile!!!!!!!!!)

[personal profile] angelgoatdemon 2018-01-08 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
[The bastard can't help but do a weird goat equivalent of a laugh. He's not used to helping himself like this, escalating things further.]

Aaa-aa.

[Lekmet gestures and shrugs, 'close enough'. He then proceeds to hand Gaston an ear of corn as a sort of peace offering. This was how fights go right? Clearly this can't be misinterpreted as some Earth insult.]
athleticallyinclined: (I don't know what that means)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-01-08 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He takes the thing that's offered to him on instinct, staring at it in bafflement. An...ear of corn?

Slowly, Gaston looks up at the goat, and then, deliberately, drops the corn on the floor. ]
angelgoatdemon: (what the fuck did you just say)

[personal profile] angelgoatdemon 2018-01-08 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Aaa?

[He looks confused, points to it, then starts miming an eating gesture. Nevertheless, he picks it up and hands it over to him again. He almost looks...condescending.]
athleticallyinclined: (do you want to be next?)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-01-09 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
I know what it's for!

[ Is he really being talked down to by a goat that can't even talk??

He crosses his arms over his chest, glaring. ]


I don't want your corn!
angelgoatdemon: (a smile!!!!!!!!!)

[personal profile] angelgoatdemon 2018-01-09 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Aaa.

[How about an egg in these trying times? Lekmet vaguely remembers something about the song in his bio, and hands him an egg instead. ]
athleticallyinclined: (well not that one)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-01-10 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...Well.

He takes the egg, looking suspiciously at the goat. ]


Is this hardboiled?

Shall I crack it on your skull and find out?
angelgoatdemon: (what the fuck did you just say)

[personal profile] angelgoatdemon 2018-01-10 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Lekmet takes another egg, looking as if to say, 'want to find out?']

Haah.

[oh dear]
athleticallyinclined: (It's hero time)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-01-11 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Slowly, Gaston looks at the egg, then at the goat.

And then he raises the egg and raps it smartly against one of the goat's horns. ]
angelgoatdemon: (Default)

[personal profile] angelgoatdemon 2018-01-12 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[The horn is tough enough for it to break.

For some reason he freezes and looks confused, unsure of how to proceed.]


Ah.
athleticallyinclined: (I say we KILL THE BEAST)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-01-13 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ And here's Gaston, holding a broken eggshell, the egg itself all over his hand and slowly dripping down Lekmet's horn.

He makes a disgusted face, dropping the shell and trying in vain to shake his hand clean. ]


Ugh!

[ He glares at the goat. ]

Now look what you've done!
angelgoatdemon: (shaken and stirred)

[personal profile] angelgoatdemon 2018-01-13 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not sure what he expected. Lekmet gets up close, looking Gaston directly in the eye.

...And crushes the second egg for the yolk to drip down the man's perfectly neat hair.]
athleticallyinclined: (do you want to be next?)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-01-16 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Gaston has never been so disrespected in his life.

He stares, quietly furious, as egg yolk placidly oozes into his hair and down his forehead. When it reaches his eyes, he slowly raises a hand to wipe it off his face and back into his hair.

Then he steps forward, leaning close to the goat. ]


You're lucky that egg makes my hair shiny and thick, you ignorant swine!

[ Swine, goat. Whichever. ]
angelgoatdemon: (absolutely disgusting)

[personal profile] angelgoatdemon 2018-01-16 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Now, Lekmet was no Earth expert, but he's fairly sure that's...not exactly for human hair, right?]

Hrrmpth!

[He harrumphs in disgust and starts bleating a series of what can be assumed as goat profanity]
athleticallyinclined: (It's hero time)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-01-17 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ It is if Gaston says it is

He listens to Lekmet's bleating for a moment, and then his face twists in shock and indignation. ]


How dare you speak to me that way!
angelgoatdemon: (i dont trust like that)

[personal profile] angelgoatdemon 2018-01-18 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ He folds his arms for a bit, then wildly gestures 'I can say whatever I want!']

Baa-aaa!

['Who's stopping me?' he somehow gestures clearly.]
athleticallyinclined: (I say we KILL THE BEAST)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-01-18 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'm stopping you!

[ Gaston speaks goat now, just roll with it.

Except he's not sure how to follow through on his threat. He looks Lekmet up and down, then grabs a fistful of one of his wings and starts to pull. ]
angelgoatdemon: (you did WHAT)

[personal profile] angelgoatdemon 2018-01-18 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Truly a man of many talents]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!

[He starts screaming, flaps the other wing wildly and starts punching as much as he can- He might stop, no promises though]
athleticallyinclined: (Default)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-01-18 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ Gaston starts screaming in return, but Lekmet's attempt at escape only hardens his resolve. He hangs on tight, dodging the goat's punches as best he can. ]

Stop that at once!

[ Furiously, he tries to kick the goat's feet out from under him. ]
angelgoatdemon: (please no yelling)

[personal profile] angelgoatdemon 2018-01-18 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[As big and bulky as the goat man is, he's definitely not built for fistfights- not against a soldier, for sure.

So he's going to continue feeble attempts at escaping!]


NA-AAAA-AAA!
athleticallyinclined: (I say we KILL THE BEAST)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-01-19 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ BABY FIGHTS

Gaston struggles for a few minutes more, but even he knows better than to actually commit a murder his first day here.

He lets go abruptly, shoving Lekmet across the room. ]


Now get out!
angelgoatdemon: (BUT IM WEAK AND WHATS WROOONG WITH THAT)

[personal profile] angelgoatdemon 2018-01-19 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT]

Hgghh...

[The goat looks pretty dazed, defeated, and gives his wings a few test beats. Yep, he was good to go, heading out to leave the wax museum- But not before throwing one last egg at Gaston's head before hightailing it out of there.]
