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?]

[They're in the middle of the hallway, and he glances down either side of them.]

I suppose there's someone for each room in this hall, since we ended up here.

[Shrug.]

There could be a way out...and there could be traps set up everywhere to make sure no one leaves.
bayoublues: (nervous)

[Traps? Oh jeez. Instinctively, Louis freezes up.]

Y-You mean like, those bear trap things and rollin' boulders and stuff? Oh, jeez. If that's the case, I'm stayin' in my room.

[He's going to...carefully inch away, before he realizes that additional traps could likely be hidden in his room, as well. He pauses for a moment, thinking.]

Actually, I'm fine just staying right here. Why don't you check out if, um, those traps are real, huh? For the good of all of us.
psychopinesis: (what the hell?)

[personal profile] psychopinesis 2018-01-08 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
What? No! I'm not going to go look for traps!
bayoublues: (hmph)

[personal profile] bayoublues 2018-01-08 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I guess we're both going to sit here forever until someone else gets hurt.

[He's absolutely against himself being possibly maimed or injured.]
psychopinesis: (are you high?)

[personal profile] psychopinesis 2018-01-08 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Or he could just walk away and Louis could stay there.

But then he'd technically be fufilling Louis' request. Hm.]


Dude, there probably aren't any traps. This place looks old; if there are any traps, I don't think they would even work.
bayoublues: (riiight)

1/2

......
bayoublues: (oh please dont kill me)

[personal profile] bayoublues 2018-01-08 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. I guess you might be right. You go on ahead and I'll follow you.

[He takes the most teeny step forward to demonstrate how willing he is to go explore this creepy old place.]
psychopinesis: (hmph)

[personal profile] psychopinesis 2018-01-08 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not escorting you around. I don't even know the layout of this place yet.

[He's not thrilled that Louis wants to basically use him as a meat shield, despite Neku being much smaller.]
bayoublues: (uh oh)

[personal profile] bayoublues 2018-01-08 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm okay fine. I'll go ahead. Because you showed me your music.

[Very reluctantly he begins to shuffle forward down the hall, occasionally checking to see if this guy is following.]
psychopinesis: (well not exactly)

[personal profile] psychopinesis 2018-01-09 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, sure.

[He is! He's walking more beside than behind, hands in his pockets, but he's following.]

So...you said you're Louis, right?
bayoublues: (tricky)

[personal profile] bayoublues 2018-01-09 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! Lou's the name, jazz's my game. Don't believe I caught yours.

[He's reached the end of the hallway and he peeks out. Nothing he can see is dangerous out there.]
psychopinesis: (superiority)

[personal profile] psychopinesis 2018-01-09 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Neku Sakuraba.

[How is someone this big afraid of anything?

Neku's just going to walk through the doorway.]


Nothing dangerous here.
bayoublues: (oh please dont kill me)

[personal profile] bayoublues 2018-01-09 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Neku, huh? Nice to meet you.

[Louis scoots behind him, tilting his head. Nothing dangerous.]

....Y'know, it just occurred to me that they probably don't want to immediately kill us if they want us to meet somewhere later.
psychopinesis: (hmph)

[personal profile] psychopinesis 2018-01-09 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Uh huh. Exactly.

[He may or may not have realized this. Who knows?]

Just don't try to leave and you should be fine.

[Totally a valid strategy.]
