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?]

Right?????? One week its like "oh hey here's a stable loop" and then the week before that suddenly its "actually anything can change always and the universe doesn't care if you're just trying to get to school without being stuck in an evil supervillain controlled timeline".

[pinkflip]

You always have to be so careful and you can never control if you go on home or have to worry about being stuck in the stupid olden days! ...Oh, I guess I'm from the stupid olden days now. Whoa. Ohhhh, I thought this stuff was all over when I left Angel Grove...!

[ rubbing her temples, pouting intensely ]

[kickbuttseatnuts]

Dude, future stuff is the worst. You know, there's an alternate future old lady version of me from two months ago stuck in the sixties, because things can't ever be simple.

Golly gosh darn, time travel's the worst.

[pinkflip]

What the heck... That sounds awful. And weird. And...oh, I think I need to sit down.

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[Oh dear]

You want, like, a water or something? I could get you a water. Or like, a juice.

[pinkflip]

Ohh. Um. Yeah, that'd be great. A juice, I- I would love a juice.

[ She pulls at her fuzzy training headband with a sigh. ]

[kickbuttseatnuts]

[Time to scurry away! Like a hero!

...And scurry back with a juice from the kitchen in hand.] Not sure which you wanted and the options weren't- I just got grape? Grape seemed normal?

[pinkflip]

Grape's fine. [ ...As long as it isn't a super-sugary- ugh, she's too stressed to even ask about it. ] Thank you, all of this is just...being kidnapped is one thing, kidnapped through time? Oh, I just hate that.
